As much as I have unfavorably critiqued Obama, this article isn't something that jolts my awareness. In fact, I reluctantly find myself agreeing with Russ Limbaugh, who called Obama narcisstic and immature. The President does over-expose himself, and the sight of him standing at attention like a saluting statue was more of a pose than an gesture of respect to the returning bodies of fallen G.I.s. The pose he struck should've been one of reverence rather than that of a tin soldier. I also think the white house's silly feuding with the FOX network is ill-advised. Or is his sudden obsession for playing golf elevating his status any. Obama needs to replace the crew of liberal white amateurs who advise him. Too bad Republican party head, Michael Steele, couldn't be recruited to "come on back home" and provide Obama with some much-needed perspective. And watching Michelle Obama sensuously grinding her torso, workin it with a hoola hoop was also a sight I'd rather not behold. Next, she'll be jumpin double dutch. Like doting parents, Whites condesecendingly accept all of this, letting these 2 jungle bunnies do their photo-op thing, realizing that if you give em enough rope, they'll lynch themselves. The only thing that agitates me more than white conservatives is a clueless black president who inadvertantly plays into the hands of Republican bigots. | ||

Stop drinking that hater-aid and get off the fence. You've been a diehard Limbaugh groupie, and you know it. Your words speak for you. I bet that over your bed there's a picture of the Grand Wizard. Black-face is so unbecoming of a negro Tomette. | ||

I'll sit where I want to, carey. I'm not here to pacify you. You write: "Black-face is so unbecoming of a negro Tomette." What a totally stupid contradictory statement; typical of how your befuddled mind works. "Black face" would be totally appropriate for what you call an "Uncle Tomette", and what other people who think straight refer to as an "Aunt Tomasine", since a female can't be an uncle. I have never agreed with anything Russ Limbaugh said, - except for the statement in question, the gist of which has been previously implied by many of Obama's supporters who are growing impatient with him for constantly committing the gaffes that are the result of the silly advice given by his naive white advisors, - much to the delight of Republican detractors. Your petulant reaction is obviously grounded in the blind faith that characterizes a fawning toadie personified by a true Uncle Tom, - hat in hand, shaking in his boots, afraid to criticize who he worships. "Ooh, Lawd; jes let the chile be. Him be our savior." All that the white house criticism of FOX News does is draw attention to this station and give them an opportunity to accuse the Administration of trying to repress freedom of speech. All they motly do over there is preach to the choir, anyhow. And with the nation in a state of crises, Obama's traisping around with a set of golf clubs on his back is not what the masses want to see. He should let off steam on the basketball court he had installed, away from the eyes of the long-suffering public. The First Lady knows all the men are salivating over her big bootie and wide hips, and she proceeds to put on a public display, provocatively thrusting her pelvis, going at it with a hoola hoop. Yes, my words are harsh. And when Obama gets it together, my praise will be lavish. What am I guilty of? Being a fair weather friend. But, that's how the Loyal Oppposition operates. If somebody named "carey" doesn't like it, he can go change his piss-saturated shorts. | ||

"Ooh, Lawd; jes let the chile be. Him be our savior." I have to give it to you, that sh*t was funny. But it's no surprise that you know all the names for mammies. I mean, although you say my characterization of a blue-eye-contact-wearing negro is wrong. Let me point to the errors of your ways. See, a person that wears black face is someone who is pretending to be black. Okay, are you following me - that's you. Then, since (as you say) an uncle tom is a man, you therefore are a tomette, because you act just like one - uncle tom that is. You wish you were white. Come on, you love too talk mess about the president so you can be in the graces of your Foster parents. Come on, you know it. Your praise of our president (if there ever is any) is generally followed by a "yeah but" or "what until tomorrow". So tell me, who's slobbering @ the first ladies behind? Huh- it's obvious that's all you see. So, in your opinion she's not suppose to dance. Give me a freakin' break. You're starting to sound like a prude. "And when Obama gets it together, my praise will be lavish" Again, give me a freakin' break. I've never heard you say that you were wrong or "I don't know". It's doesn't appear to be in your heart. So, as long as the man stays in the basement, down @ the bowling alley, he's cool - right? But lawdy lawdy lawdy, why is he playing that white mans sport. Dem white folks don't want to see that. Ii am just repeating what you said. You said they don't want to see that. Why? Why are you so fixated on "what the man might be thinking - huh? That's the standard bearer of an Uncle Tom. You knew that, right? Go ahead and say it, you know you want to. What... Ni**as ain't suppose to be playing golf? and surely not the black president. That boy posta be out back, lookin' for a way to act like da rest of dem colored folk. dey shouldn't be smilin' and having no fun. Please "Aunt Tomasine", you can run but you can't hide. There, did I spell that right? What you are speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you say. | ||

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have no choice but to try and do what you do when you attempt to justify your insipid blather; put your spin on things. I could go all through your reponse and point out the distortions and irrelevancy that render everything you say "off point". I said nothing about Obama going down to the bowling alley in the basement. Bumpin and grindin a hoola hoop is not "dancing". And can you say the word "dignity". Your explanation for your black face remark was an exercise in specious nonsense of the carey variety. And yes, I know how white people think. Any black person worth their salt knows how The Man thinks; that's how we've been outwitting them for years. Know thy enemy. Obama would do a lot better if he would anticipate the reactions of his detractors instead of being the pawn of his brain{?} trust. And just because you haven't heard me say good things about Obama, doesn't prove anything except that you haven't seen the good things I've written. Finally, contrary to your failed attempt at being cute, for a change, I did not accuse you of misspelling anything. Just another off the mark comment, conjured up by your skewed mentality So take all of that trumped up subtefuge you posted and throw it in the garbage. It wasn't even a good try. Obama holds the office of the most powerful man in the world, and people are depending on him to rise above the frivolous crap and initate change. Or is this the time or the place for him to demonstrate what a regular guy he is, - a black man who can act like a white corporate CEO. There are enough people like you around to prop Obama up so I'll continue to have my say. In spite of what you think, he is not above reproach but you go right ahead, tippin around trying to shush anyone who might burst the bubble. Just pretend like everything is just fine and nobody will notice. | ||

Well, I doubt there are very many people who viewed the hoola hoop incident as you did. No I haven't seen the good things you've said. But again, if you happened to whimper a few words of kindness, I bet they were followed by a "yeah butt". Don't have me call you out. You don't want me to post your words. Yes, I have a bunch of mess in file 13, so okay, I toss this in there as well. I can't help but think many people do not want the last 8 yrs. so if our president is not evading the issues like that last dope, I say that's a good thang. More so, isn't it brutally unfair to slam the man in his first months of office. Like you said, there's enough haters doing that(slam him) without cause, other than the fact that they are afraid to voice a dissenting view. Or they watch to much television.... Monkey see/Monkey do. | ||

The President does over-expose himself I disagree, Cynique. I doubt that he is any more visible in high profile, largely symbolic events than any other president in recent decades. What has happened is that technology has changed, and this is the first president to fully take advantage of those changes--YouTube and Flickr and Facebook and texting and everything else. In addition to the nuts and bolts duties of the presidency, the POTUS is still a symbol. And I am sure that as the first Black POTUS he is even more symbolic. Certainly, part of what makes him seem so visible is the fact that none of us are used to seeing a Black man do all these things. Honestly, there were photo-ops that previous presidents had that I barely took notice of that I notice now just because it's Obama. Too bad Republican party head, Michael Steele, couldn't be recruited to "come on back home" and provide Obama with some much-needed perspective. I don't know if you were being serious or not, but that is actually an interesting thought. I have the feeling that Steele is not so much a Republican, but a Steele-ian. I wonder how he could be persuaded, and under what circumstances would BHO enlist his talents? For that matter, how delicious would it be if he were already a covert operator for the Democratic side? (That would certainly explain a lot of his strange behavior.) That'd make a great mystery novel... Anyone--feel free to (ahem) steele it from me.  | ||

I don't expect everybody to agree with my criticism of Obama, Yvette, because as I've said, I set the bar so high that I simply want him to be near-perfect. That's why the inexcusable little mistakes he makes irk me. I've never denied that to many he remains a hero whose feet have not yet turned to clay. So be it. But I make no excuses for my sentiments. And I didn't just now argue that there are enough haters attacking him already, Carey. I said he has enough defenders against critics like me. And you also seemed to be unaware about how enamoured black men and probably white men, too, are of Michelle's big azz. There was even some discussion of it on this board. Yes, technology has contributed the over-exposure of the President, but he has to have set some kind of a record with the number of press conferences he calls and, through what I continue to believe is the ineptitude of the people around him, Barak Obama after a very visible year in office, is simply running in place, having achieved nothing but the disappointment of all the special interest groups who supported him. IMO, Obama and George Bush are 2 sides of the same coin; both vulerable to the criticism that arises from being a leader who doesn't know which way to turn. Dubya was indifferent. Obama is inadequate. And I am fast approaching the point where I don't give a damn about either one.  Incidentally, I do agree with your take on Michael Steele, Yvette. | ||

”I disagree, Cynique. I doubt that he is any more visible in high profile, largely symbolic events than any other president in recent decades. What has happened is that technology has changed, and this is the first president to fully take advantage of those changes--YouTube and Flickr and Facebook and texting and everything else.” Nice commentary Ms. Yvette. You are correct. After the assassination of JFK, the press has taken on the roll of following the president wherever he goes. It’s laughable when you hear members of the National Doofus Congress (e.g. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Laura Ingraham, et al), rant and rave that Obama orchestrated and staged a photo op. He did not. To say he did is nonsense and simply false. The press was already there, covering the presidents activities. And as a former member of the armed forces, I believe it is the duty of the president to make a showing at such events since it is the presidents polices and political decisions that ultimately lead to the death of the said service members. I had extreme issues with GWB over this very matter. He refused to do so, giving a lame contrived excuse that I refuse to repeat. ”In addition to the nuts and bolts duties of the presidency, the POTUS is still a symbol. And I am sure that as the first Black POTUS he is even more symbolic. Certainly, part of what makes him seem so visible is the fact that none of us are used to seeing a Black man do all these things. Honestly, there were photo-ops that previous presidents had that I barely took notice of that I notice now just because it's Obama.” This is also very true. Obama is under relentless scrutiny. His political enemies and the race haters are diligent about criticizing and hysterically condemning every single thing he does. It doesn’t matter what he does or does not do –they are going to continue their fierce political/race Jihad against this man. Damn if he does, damn if he doesn’t. Although I am not as passionate about my consternation and ongoing criticism as Ms. Cynique, I have to agree with something she said. Obama seems clueless about the forces that are tenacious with their hate and uncompromising in their efforts to politically destroy him. He seems to be getting amateurish and unacceptable myopic assessments and information from his advisors. This nonsense about challenging FOX news to a pissing contest is exactly what they want (his political enemies). This is the watershed they need. Earl O. Hutchinson wrote about this glaring mistake in the Huffington Post. I thought I was the only one who felt this way about this disastrous decision. Don’t believe the hype folks –Obama is not surrounded and advised by the best and brightest. As far as Michael Steele is concerned, well, it is what it is. He seems comfortable being a shoe shine boy for the GOP. Something I personally find to be nauseating. I like Steele even though I don’t share his politics. But when he shamelessly capitulated and groveled with his apology to the Grand Poo Baah of Buffoonery, Rush Limbaugh (for calling him exactly what he is –an entertainer), I had to cut the brother loose. It was too much to stomach. It is unfortunate Steele does not take his skills elsewhere where I believe he would be better received, needed and effective. I believe he would be better represented as an Independent (IMO). | ||

Certainly can't say that this thread didn't give a very good cross section of opinions about Obama. This is what a discussion board is all about. |
