Yep, you got it right. Has nothing to do with anything else, just pure blind hate for the negroid race. Thank you Johnny Cochran!

How about Reagan, Clinton, Nixon, LBJ?

Once again, Reagan, Clinton, LBJ and Nixon were all jackasses! Carter was a nice guy and a terrible president. What does being pleasant have to do with leading the nation?

I'd say McCain showed contempt for Obama. And deservedly so. There's nothing to respect about Obama at all.

Remember, the government school alumni believe competition is bad and everyone gets a ribbon just for playing.

I'd like to agree with you ... I don't think McCain is really a racist. But, along with Obama's age and status as an "upstart" and lack of military service, Obama being black certainly doesn't help McCain put Obama on his Christmas card list, ya know?

It's the 4th quarter of this election, and sometimes the fire gets hot, if Nobama can't handle it then he shouldn't be there. Somehow though I think what McCain said bothers Nobama's supporters more than it does him.
That was the funny thing. When McDisdain says 'that one' the look on Obama's face is hilarious. It's all 'you are an a$$hole' with a big smile.

Actually Momonkey, call me old fashion but I believe that a world leader should lead in many different ways and he should set an example while leading. More so if we are talking about the leader of the most powerful Nation in the world.

In this day and age where everything goes and the culture of the jungle is so widespread a good leader should actually show that politness and respect can go together with a firm hand, a cool head when making decisions and all the other qualities people look for in a leader.
