Obama is black?

Asked Sep 14, 2009, 01:12 PM — 86 Answers
Since this week's talking point is "Some people just can't believe a black man is president and will never accept it," let's address that shall we? It's not just Dowd and it isn't new, Politico delved into the issue quoting several Democrats including Gwen Dawkins, Democratic activist from Michigan who thinks all conservative anger toward Obama is about race.

Quote:
Black people have lived under white presidents since day one, Dawkins observed, So would you give him a chance?
Do those who think it's all about race want us to give him a chance - or do they expect us to just roll over and let him do what he wants?

I believe in equality. Now America has white and black presidents. Will people of other races have a chance to be president? (rhetorical question) For some reason I don't think society can open up to that just yet.

Y'know what?

I own part of that house where Joe shouted at the pres. It belongs to me as much as anybody else in this country,

And Y'know what?

The fact that Joe hollered the truth out doesn't bother me one bit!

Still on that? You do know - I know you do - that that was a parody based on a claim by an Obot. But I get it, a conservative can't make fun of a supporter of a black president any more than he can criticize a black president's policies. Decorum demands us to just roll over for The One.

Alinsky RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Why is that? I just have a hard picture imagining a Russian, Indian, Chinese, British and a lot more being the president of America one day.

Actually, Wilson was proven correct about the fact that Obama lied.

And Obama has been proven to have lied multiple times in his speech to Congress.

Which means that Wilson WAS telling the truth.
