He's not just an individual he's a US congressman. And that's how he wants the Arab world to perceive us.
He is an individual, and he told the Arab media his opinion. From my viewpoint his opinion is not inaccurate. Sorry you dislike it, but if you think that his comments will significantly alter our (poor) image in the Arab world, you're pretty off-base.
I don't know. Obama started with the goodwill of most Americans, an approval rating around 70%...and then when he began to govern, shove unpopular legislation down our throats, implementing his radical leftist agenda...most realized they had been duped, bamboozled and hoodwinked.
Of course, some of us knew from the get go what he really was and it had nothing to do with his race.
These dems just can't understand how a center right nation would be alarmed and angry about a president trying to force a leftist radical agenda down our throats.
Well, they sure did find out Nov 2010 just how much radicalism this nation would take.
Amen!!! True dat. He NEVER had my approval. It was apparent to anyone who would bother to really SEE, he was inexperienced, arrogant, and ill prepared. A Harvard education alone does NOT qualify you to be president. Of ANYTHING, let alone a country. Some SERIOUS seasoning is required. As we all can see now based on his 2 years in office.
As much as Tea Partiers and crazed dittoheads strike me as mean and pigheaded, I don't buy the racist argument. I have heard him called all sorts of insults, but none of them struck me as racist. Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Bore were all subject to the same lunacy. And Clinton had a much harder time than Mr. O has had so far. Sure they have opposed every position, idea he's had, blamed him for everthing, and credited him with nothing, and provided a constant stream of mindless contempt and ill-will, but I don't think that has anything to do with race.
People are just so super partisan it is absurd, but that is another issue

No, it won't change things. But it shows how Jim Moran thinks. He is one of those Pelosi types who is only in power because he is in a liberal district. Voters recognize his name, and that he has "D" next to it.

Would you be so kind as to back up your calling Tea Partiers as mean and pigheaded with some legitimate examples please? I'm not a TP, but I see only caring, average, every day Americans who are upset with what's happening to their country, trying to make a difference. They have all been peaceful and respectful from what I've seen. Gees.

A liberal in power because he is in a liberal district? No way.
I actually think it is good that this has come out because there are so many people, either in denial about their racism, or hyper-focused on other issues (the "birthers") or just consumed with hatred for no apparent reason, that at least this guy's hatred and prejudice is out where everyone can see it.
Not ideal, but so much easier to deal with than the PC crowd that is afraid to say what their true, racist feelings are.

This is pretty extreme, but this is an example of what you're asking for.
