Obama promised to heal the nation, bridge the racial divide and transcend petty polit

And after Republicans tried SO hard to work with Obama all these years too.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Obama needed help to rise above petty politics and racial divides?

Maybe he was a weaker man than I thought if he needed help with that.

And look at us now. It's like we teleported back to the 70's.

Every one should have figured that out during the primiaries when he tried to claim all black historical imagery and also play the race card against fellow democrats. Did we really think it would be different now?

He never intended to heal anything, he wanted to nurture the disease and drive a wedge between the races, genders, and religions. In those areas, he has been a huge success.

Bingo!


Obarry is no fool. Quite honestly, he is extremely intelligent. How else could this man come from nowhere, never accomplish anything, and the next thing you know, he is president of the United States?

I truly believe that this has been his plan from day one - to divide; and he has done yeoman's work of it. This country is not necessarily "more divided" than it has ever been but it is definitely more polarized than it has ever been.

He has taken every pussy group out there and has rallied them against conservatives to the point that it (literally) feels like "us against them". We are on the verge of a "societal" war rather than a "civil" war.

Well, gramps, those who voted the most obviously failed president in US history in 2004, the halfwit inheritor, lowlife cocksucker, and draft dodging chickenhawk war monger, Junebug Bush, are responsible for the nutballs' new Lord and Master, Barack Hussein Obama. Had the most obviously failed president in US history lost as he should have in 2004, there never would have been a President Barack Hussein Obama in 2008. One hopes the filth who voted for Bush think about justice every time they look in the mirror.

The bottom line is that after the Bush League Democrats could have run the literal devil and beat any nutball on the face of the earth. The American voter is, on average, one stupid motherfucker, but there was never any doubt after the economy started to buckle in 2007 that a Democrat would be president in 2008.

One hopes the emotional torment of being responsible for another big spending corporatist is severe.

And please continue bitching until your fingers stop working or - like some of my personal nutball acquaintances - laryngitus takes your voice, because the mindless pain of Bush Leaguers is music to my eyes and ears.

To recap: justice does not always take the form folks expect, but in this case it found the path to where it needs to be.

And look at us now. It's like we teleported back to the 70's.

Well, the last election showed that a large majority of Jewish, Asian, Hispanic, Black, and possibly Native Americans, and approx 43% of Whites voted for President Obama over the republican candidate. That sounds like an excellent coalition and a nice bridge of many racial groups.

How do you feel that we have been "teleported back to the 1970's?

Just watch any news media or read a vast majority of the threads here. We are overwhelmed with racial bullshit and it's not positive. Crackee this and nigga that... wtf? I don't remember race ever being this divisive an issue in my adult life.

Really? I certainly do and I am probably younger than you. Are you stating that there was no racial divide in the 1960's and prior? There was no segregation, lynching, anti-miscegenation laws, Jim Crow laws, Black codes, very little minority representation in Congress and local forms of government? In short, "the good ole' days" might have been good for the White ruling class in this country, but it wasn't so good for certain minorities in this country who were oppressed, brutalized, and treated like at best, second class citizens. There's no denying that Gramps.

Might have something to do with and all your conservative pals instantly making every single thing about race. Being you've all worn out many decks of race cards, you look rather hypocritical to constantly be accusing liberals of using your own tactics.

Most conservatives have simply fallen hard for a "Obama is divisive!" propaganda line. To them, President Obama exists, therefore he is divisive. They don't need any actual reasons. The cult tells them to say the president is divisive, so they obey.

If anyone disagrees, perhaps they can list these specific reasons Obama is divisive. I mean, besides "he exists and he's not white."

Was it when he cut taxes? Dang, that's divisive.

Was it when he pushed a healthcare plan that looked just like the previous Republican healthcare plan? Odd how y'all didn't think it was divisive back then.

Was it for pushing for background checks, something that the NRA itself supported until very recently? Golly, what a divisive gun-grabber, clearly out to enslave the oppressed conservatives.

Neutral observers see the conservative fringe stomping off, slamming the bedroom door and refusing to join the family for dinner. I wish them good luck with the teenage tantrum thing. I mean, look at all the votes it's getting them.

At least Clinton was a leader and worked with newt. Obama is not a leader....

"To see the secular socialist building his machine, one need only note the appeal to the self-interest of each of their various interest groups rather than appealing to any unifying vision for the future of the nation. The reason for ‘identity politics’ is that the intellectual mindset of the Leftists is hardly the same as that of the vast majority of Americans."
Gingrich, "To Save America," chapter two.

Ok, so we are around the same age. You don't remember the beginning of the "angry white male" with limbaugh and the anti-Affirmative Action crowd in the 80's and early 1990's??? You don't remember the rise of the Neo-Nazi Skinhead movement in the 1980's and 1990's and the rise of the KKK, the Aryan Nations (Weaver & Co.), the ROHAWA movement, their predictions of a "race war" that was supposed to start in 1995? Really?

 

[Pheonixops]

This country is moving in a GREAT direction racially. I see it here every day in Hampton Roads. Mixed race relationships and babies abound. I'm happier and happier as the days go by because the racist fossils are become smaller and smaller in number.

 

[Rozman]

Obama has done a tremendous job pitting citizen against citizen.
Creating a us against them attitude from the first day he hit the campaign trail.
I get no sense at all that he is trying to bring this country closer together.

All I see from him are his constant attacks against business,people that try
to run a business,his anger towards anyone who tries to make a go of it
creating or running a business.If you are wealthy you got there by doing something dishonest.

His whole "You didn't build that" rant showed me all I needed to know about this guy.

I remember the FRINGE elements yes. But now that hatred and divisive attitude permeates all maner of our society. And in just a few short years.

so are you mad that the fairness doctrine ended in 1987? what do you think those views happen overnight?

If that's so, then how do you rectify the fact that I presented before regarding the large majority of racial groups in this country, except for White people, voted for President Obama in this last election? where's the hatred there? Even 43% of the White people voted for President Obama, that sure sounds like a lot of groups coming together to me. You can add the so-called homosexual voters as another group who voted for President Obama in large numbers. If that's not coalescing a large group of various people and having them come together for a common cause, then I don't know what to tell you.
