HOW DEAR YOU JUDGE THE BLACK MAN, CUZ HE IS IN OFFICE

[MollyAlice1]

WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE, AND DOING EXACTLY NOTHING, BUT MAKING IT HARD FOR THE NEXT MAN, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT I BLACK MAN WAS FINALLY RUNNING, AND IT WAS A CHANCE HE WOULD WIN, AND HE DID.  DONT JUDGE THIS MAN, BECAUSE HE DID NOT MESS UP THE GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL STATE, THE OTHER MAN DID!!! IT IS NOT ABOUT RACE HERE, SO DONT BRING IT INOT PLAY. WE AS A COUNTRY SHOULD GIVE CREDIT WHEN CREDIT IS DUE!!! AND I THINK THIS MAN DESERVES IT BETTER THAN ANYONE.  OUR COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE SO DIVIDED IN VOTING AS BLACK AND WHITE, BUT AS WHO CAN LEAD THIS COUNTRY TO VICTORY AS UNITED WE STAND, AND DIVIDED WE FALL  SO GIVE IT A REST ABOUT NOT VOTING, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT KNOW WHO YOU VOTED FOR ANY WAY!!! YOU JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO IT FOR THE RIGHT REASON AND NOT BECAUSE WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY, WHITE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH MURDER, AND BLACKS BE THE VICTIMS!!! SO WHO DO YOU WANT TO FOLLOW!!!  BECAUSE OBAMA IS A STRONG BLACK MAN AND HE IS DEFINITELY A LEADER!!! THANK YOU

AND ANOTHER THING!!! WHEN THE REPUBLICAN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE, YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER BEING A DEMOCRAT GOING AGAINST HIM, YOU WOULD HAVE GOT FIRED!!!!, BUT NOW THAT A DEMOCRAT IS IN OFFICE, REPUBLICANS ARE ARGUING EVERY DAY ABOUT HIS CHANGING, AND ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY,.  PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE ASHAME OF THEMSELVES.  THEY MAD, BECAUSE HE WANT TO RAISE RICH PEOPLE TAXES, A LITTLE BIT, TO GET FUNDS.  IS THAT'S THE REASON THEY ARE RICH ANYWAY, TO GIVE SOME OF THE MONEY AWAY, SO THEIR TAXES CAN BE CUT? DDDUUUHHH??? I THINK THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN THAT.  LIKE I SAID IT MY OTHER POST.  RACISM IS STILL A PROBLEM IN 2011, AND IT NEEDS TO STOP... A BLACK MAN JUST GOT LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI THIS YEAR... NOW YOU TELL ME THAT IS NOT RACISM... WE NEED TO STOP PEOPLE,

I agree to some extent. My take on everything is FIRE CONGRESS!!!!!! They could not care less about what their fighting amongst each other does to us or this country.

First off, I agree that race issues still exist and they need to stop! But is obama a leader? Absolutely not! He merely tries to mirror what former presidents have done. A few fundamental ideas that obama hasn't discovered as of yet. 1.) The times have changed and pouring money on a certain problem doesn't work as it did decades ago, 2.) Contrary to what most people think, Americans are extremely lazy and rely on and want the support of the government, 3.) A country without the ability to produce products has no business improving the interstate system unless there are products to haul on those precious improvements/trillion dollar investments. I will not even begin to go into details of this nonsense. It would be a waste of time and pointless.

Yup.

I am proud Obama is president.  I get so angry in debates when they blame him for the mess we are in.  I want to scream take responsibility for your part in this mess.  He has to fight congress and the senate on everything and they fight back and forth until what he was trying to do is half what we needed to be done.  All of the politicians are at fault and it makes me mad that we cant beat this recession because of them.  They are all at fault and the need to be responsible and fix the mess they have made.

I wish America would have voted this way. We would be seeing a different president and a better economy. But, I am tired of this debate. It is a losing battle in trying to make ignorant and stubborn people open their minds a little.

MollyAlice,

You are the one who brought the race card up at the beginning of this debate.  It's true many people still judge by race, but there are just as many people who are mature enough to elect someone who is going to get the job done, while listening and looking out for its citizens.  Personally, it does not matter to me what color someone is as long they are achieving goals best for America.  Is the current president doing this?  In my opinion, no, not overall (no matter what color he is.)

  YOU THE ONLY ONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE RACE CARD, AND YES YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THAT IS THE REASON BEHIND ALL THIS CHAOS, WHEN PRESIDENT SO CALLED BUSH WAS IN OFFICE, PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS WHERE HE WAS IN ANY DISASTER OF THE WORLD, BUT AS SOON AS OBAMA TAKE HIS FAMILY OUTSIDE, PEOPLE SNAPPING ALL KINDS OF PICTURES TRYING TO CATCH HIM DOING SOMETHING TO USE AGAINST HIM.  I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF ALL THIS CRITIZING, WHEN THIS MAN HAS DONE NOTHING BUT DOING WHAT HE REALLY CAN DO, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, HE MIGHT HAVE THE TITLE THE PRESIDENT, BUT TELL THE TRUTH HE STILL ISNT RUNNING NOTHING, SO TELL ME WHO REALLY IS THE BLAME.  THEY ANT LET HIM DO NUTTIN, SO HOW IS HE THE REASON FOR SOMETHING??? THAT TOOK 8 YEARS TO CREATE???

**SO WHO DO YOU WANT TO FOLLOW!!!  BECAUSE OBAMA IS A STRONG BLACK MAN AND HE IS DEFINITELY A LEADER!!!

Those were your own quotes using the race card.  As far as people criticizing Obama, he's not the only president who has gotten criticized.  Every president goes through it.  There is always something that people get upset with any president about.  This current president has been in almost 3 years now, and I think this office should quit blaming the previous administration for everything that's not right.  He's made choices quite different from the previous administration and they have not all turned out for the best of America.  But that doesn't mean Bush should be blamed now after 3 years when Obama has been in that White House making his own decisions.

Thank you JCribb for making a rational argument!

Presidential Approval ratings

[gaylasue]

I'd like to see an election where we vote for the person ~ not race, party affiliation, wealth, etc. ~ for what their principals are and what they stand for.  Not what they promise to do which they know they can't accomplish.  We need more partison - not bipartison - in our elected offices.
