OBAMA VOTER REMORSE

[zqt3344 21]

Well

A) why is it ok to call anyone else a boy but not a black man???

B) Obama is half white so should he be considered half boy since it is obviously ok to refer to white man as boy but not a black man??

C) boy is a immature inexperienced person plain and simple no matter what race the person is

D) this once again gets to the issue of no one wanting to tell it like it is, more reverse racism or politically correct jargon.

E) I notice in this country everyone is afraid to be honest and tell the truth about a black man for fear of being considered some kind of racist, or having to worry about what word that a black man now considers to be racist towards him, and I also notice that every time more than not when a black person does not get their way, they state or claim it is racism or they constantly point out it is some sort of racism by the words someone uses. It is a simple observation that makes a person wonder in the honesty and fairness of it all.

F) this is part of the problem with electing Obama, no one had the guts to ask this guy tough questions for true honest answers, everyone just glossed over him, gave him a free pass for far too long and simply ignored the cold hard truth, the guy was not vetted at all.

G)thus voter remorse has set in now!

Rhetoric is another misunderstood word, I fear.

Unless you were suggesting that Almaty was asking a rhetorical question (i.e. one that doesn't require answering because the answer is assumed).

Naturally, referring to a black man as "boy" is a pretty well known racial disparagment, so when someone connects the phrase to Obama (a well-known black man) obviously makes one wonder what was intended.

If you don't know why racial stereotypes exist, what they mean or where they originated from - there's not a lot to say.

i never call any man.."boy"....rather.. black..white..asian./..etc.....

But what about Boy-George?

Then again his gender is in question.

[zqt3344 21]

Well, honestly, why not? When did boy become a racist word? Wow so now I guess that we should strike the word from this earth forever because some like you think it is somehow racist? When will it end, when there are no words left to write or speak? Think about it. Not everyone in this world is racist or is using words to be a racist, sadly once again we have far too many people playing the race card game all the time with words, thus nothing gets any better.

....and yet you do... repeatedly.

And yet I do what, Danno?

Do you seriously need a semantic deconstruction of that sentence to see how utterly meaningless and out of context that reply is?

[zqt3344 21]

Book em Danno! Great post! HAHAHAHHAHA

Agreeing with it just because its something (anything) against me - doesn't make it any less meaningless, ya know

[zqt3344 21]

Ok if you say so, it is meaningless, just having fun with you.

I guess the novelty of having a President who is a decent public speaker is running out of steam.

But he isn't. And every time he goes out to yak on his health care reform his poll numbers get lower. He hems and haws and repeats himself and stammers ..he can read fine off a teleprompter but speaking extemporaneously gets him in the #######.

Great post, finally someone tells it like it is, and Obama & company wonder why the American public is not supporting him or listening to him anymore, great post. Agree with everything you say!

Generally speaking, you won't get very far in a political campaign if you lack charisma or the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively.

Being articulate has nothing to do with on the job competence of course, but you're not likely to get the chance to prove it one way or the other if you're a ####### communicator.

Of course GWB was the notable exception

More voter remorse over this staged scripted actor of a politician. Why anyone would think he is qualified to be a president when all he has ever done was run for office and do nothing while in office, except for his stint as some make believe spin word "community organizer" I mean come on, the village idiot where I live is could be considered a community organizer because he gathers all every month or two for BBQ and beer at his place!

The boy President is FAIL.

"boy"?

A yard of #######, and a buckets of balls, and you call him, "boy"?
