That's nothing! I get nauseated when I just think about him.

It was probably the chittlins'.

It was probably the chittlins'.

Is it not possible to oppose the man because of his policies? You have now joined forces with Janeane Garofolo. Congratulations.

His policies? Do you mean it was caused by an overdose of Hopium?

And EXTRA thick baloney at that.

Ya know its really bad baloney when my wife says ... "It's getting so that it irritates the hell out of me every time I hear someone say the name Obama".

If you disagree with Obama, the terrorists and the KKK win.

I was just trying to be cute by mocking the racists, OC. If I failed at that, sorry.

Zig, Believe it or not, folks disagree with Obama for reasons other than racism, and it gets very tiring being accused of racism just because you disagree with a particular black man.

You guys really do make me lol some of the time. This thread is one of those times. Thanks!

James Taranto of the WSJ reports that the 36 stricken can still get insurance even if this is a pre-existing condition. Let's hope Obamacare is not as damaging to our health as it has proven to the democrats.

Ben, I watched the Hillary Clinton team play to the hilt the inherent racism of many, many West Virginians in the 2008 primary election campaign here. And if you think I am mistaken about that, you need to come back to WV and get a front row seat. And many Obama haters are doing it about the same way here and all over the country. Racism is often a little like someone said about obscenity- it's hard to define, but you know it when you see it.

Ziggy,

Obama was black when he was elected President. Racism has nothing to do with the bitter disappointment he is to many of the people who elected him.

Are there white Americans who didn't vote for Obama because he is black? I'm sure there are, but they would surely be in the minority. Don't you think there are black Americans who voted for Obama, and continue to support him, simply because he is black?

Yes, there are those who are racist but they didn't vote for him in 2008 and imho, the individuals who voted aginst him because of his skin color are no more racist then the people who did vote for him because of his skin color but that is not what this election year is about.

I agree with SB in that this is not about the color of his skin but the manner in which he has performed his job and that is very poorly and the race card is being pulled because that is the ONLY defense the Obama team has; they hate me because I'm black. It's a crock, plain and simple. The man is the worst leader this nation has had in over 30 years and that has no more to with his skin color then his golf game or the amount of vacations.

Neither interfer with the President's ability to do his job but merely reflect on how the public views those activities. During prosperous economic times, when all Americans can get away for a few days or hit the links a few evenings a week, the don't mind that their President does but when times are hard, unemployment is up and belts need tightening, Americans get a little upset that their President is flaunting his lifestyle on their dime. It's all about public preception and the fact that he doesn't understand that is only part of what makes him the worst President in many, many years and that includes the Carter years.

So are you saying that most of the people who oppose Obama now voted for him 2 years ago? Or are they mostly people who didn't and who would never vote for him in any event?

Are there white Americans who didn't vote for Obama because he is black? I'm sure there are, but they would surely be in the minority.

It only takes one less than 50 percent to make for a "minority".

Don't you think there are black Americans who voted for Obama, and continue to support him, simply because he is black?

Sure. And most of them are probably honest enough to admit it if they were asked- but almost no one does ask them. So why can't the white racists who didn't and never would vote for him be so honest?

Hell, there are people in West Virginia who hated the Clintons with a passion; but they supported Hillary here in 2008 because they would rather support a white woman- even one they hated- than a black man.

This happened in Morgantown today.

I think part of your problem is you've lived your entire life south of the Mason-Dixon line. I assure you, despite Professor Whacko's assertions to the contrary, racism isn't as rampant in New England and other areas of the country as it is here.

That and perhaps you don't get out as much as you used to. Interracial couples exist in WV too now. They have jobs and children and friends. This isn't 1960, it's 2010.

btw, I personally know of at least one racist who voted for Obama despite the color of his skin. He was forced to resort to it rather than vote for "another gad damned Republican". Seems to me folks around here are rather upfront with their racism.

I think it is cognitive dissonance. What else beyond racism can explain anyone's rejection of anti-corporatism, environmental purity, and picking the pockets of fatcats? Yep, it's racism straight-up.

But Stephanie had said:

Ziggy, Obama was black when he was elected President. Racism has nothing to do with the bitter disappointment he is to many of the people who elected him.

But it is not the "people who elected him" that are portraying him a "bitter disappointment" and as the "worst president in decades including Carter". It is the people who never would have voted for him, for reasons, as Stephanie correctly observes, include racism.

So why is there the need to (1) deny that racism is a part of it, and (2) to pretend that it is the "people who elected" him that are now, less than two years later, saying that he is "the worst president in decades including Carter" and expressing such "bitter disappointment" in him?

Attend a Tea Party meeting. There you will meet, and hear from, people who voted for Obama & his hope and change bullshit who are bitterly disappointed. There is a group that meets in Cross Lanes and another in Parkersburg. I can provide you contact information for both if either interests you.

I don't know what the people who voted for him are saying and nor do I care. I do know I have two kids that though he was hot crap on a silver platter, that now think he isn't even luke warm diarrhea on a paper plate.

As far as racism goes, yes, racism entered into his election, both for his election and against it. A pile of blacks voted for him solely because of his skin color. That is just as racist as voting againt him because he's black. That being said, I have no problem stating here and for the record that I voted against Obama for a number of reasons, including his skin color. I knew from many of his speaches he was using black victimhood to gain votes. Additionally, I will tell you Obama has changed my view of the black community. What began to change my mind toward the black community is how many went along with that arguement. I'll say it here and now and also for the record, Obama is bankrupting this nation for the sake of reparations. It isn't called that, but that is what he is doing.

Yes, absolutely.

Your honesty on this is refreshing, and I respect you for being candid.

I knew from many of his speaches he was using black victimhood to gain votes.

And white politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, have been doing this for longer than you and I are old- pandering to ethnic and/or racial minorities for votes.

Additionally, I will tell you Obama has changed my view of the black community. What began to change my mind toward the black community is how many went along with that arguement.

More whites than blacks have been going along with "that argument"- voting for candidates based on their claims to reverse black victimhood- for decades. Why are you just now changing your view based on that, and only for blacks who go "along with that argument"?

I'll say it here and now and also for the record, Obama is bankrupting this nation for the sake of reparations. It isn't called that, but that is what he is doing.

Are these so-called "raparations" monies falling any more onto black people than onto white and other races? Are they based on race, or on economic criteria?

That is true but it doesn't excuse Obama any more than it excuses Kennedy or Byrd, or Rockefeller.

I have never changed my view. I think anyone that plays victim is little more that a blood sucking parasite. I don't care their color.

From what I see the intent is to take care of blacks. Yes, some if not many whites will also get a ride, but the driving force is to take care of the black community, especially the intercity black community

One last point Ziggy, I'd vote for Thomas Sowell over any white politician. I'd also vote for Herman Cain over any white politician. I'd even take Alan Keyes over most white politicians.

Your wasting your time Stephanie. For liberals, disappointment in Obama MUST be racist. To admit anything less is to admit, if even partially, that this Obama Presidency is a failure. They cannot do that so they say his broken campaign promises are not his inability to stand on his convictions but because he is a moderate. His inability to work with Republicans is because they are obstructionist and the party of no.

Fault after fault, his failures are never his but the blame of others. When Hillary pointed out his faults and shortcomings, she was racist. When McCain did the same, he was racist. And now that TEA Partiers are pointing out his failures and shortcomings, why, the Great Orator cannot possibly be wrong so it must be racism.

Some people cannot admit the truth because to do so would require to admit they are wrong and some people can never do that.

As I said, you're wasting your time.
