Give him a chance? You prove how witless you really are. Either that or you agree with him.
This is exactly the type of rhetoric that I was referring to in my posting. "(Obama is) a pinko commie ... he hates what the US has stood for since it's founding". Really! So he hates freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and the right to pursue happiness and all the other tenants of the Constitution, which he studied vigorously. Do you really actually believe this?
And then you claim his wife, the 1st lady, as big as a boulder? Really?
Hey man, I disagreed with GW Bush and Dick Cheney on a variety of issues but I never called their wives mean names. This mean spirited speechifying is out of bounds and does no service to civil debate. This just makes you look hateful and mean.
Second, Obama's preacher, Rev. Wright, is a firebrand angry black preacher. Apparently there are a few out there. I haven’t the slightest why he and some other black and minority folks are angry. But then again, I know some pretty angry white folks too. I don’t see how anyone is this country can be angry because we live in the greatest country in the world. And God do you sound angry. How can you be Sir, living the American dream?
I digress. The Reverend isn’t in Obama's cabinet. And Obama barely knew Bill Ayers. The right wing drive by media has completely overblown that relationship. And as for his childhood mentor, Marshall Davis" it was his childhood mentor. I had some pretty radical notions when I was in my teens and 20's and then you know what happened. I finished school, got a job, started a business and evolved into a person with moderate views.
Sir, by stating that Obama "hates what this country has stood for since it’s founding" supports the premise of my post. That is to say, I believe you are suggesting that Obama wants to destroy America. Is this you position? If it is, then you and your sort have no credibility with me and about 80% of the rest of the citizenry. And you and your sort will drag down the Grand Old Party into a permanent minority party.
We have a black liberal President. Hispanics will soon become the majority and America’s complexion will grow darker. It's called CHANGE! Deal with it! If Bush/Cheney didn't do such a horrible job running the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, borrowing billions to do so, and then presiding over a financial meltdown, the electorate never would have voted in a totally different direction towards the left.
One more thing, you did not take issue with my premise that the incendiary language targeting Obama, recklessly bandied about by right wing extremists, may very well provoke an assassinate attempt, or worse, on the President of the United States.
Your non-response to this concern speaks volumes!
