Like Limbaugh says "We are all Americans, the Democrats are obssessed with race, no such thing as hyphenated Americans". OP starts a thread entitled "I don't blame whites for being afraid of Obama". Very confusing!
Your figures are faulty. The deficit is forecast at $1.8 trillion, not $20 trillion. The debt isn't even at $20 trillion. The debt isn't even equal to GDP.
Tell me. If you make $60,000 per year, will you be able to afford a house that costs $250,000? People do it all the time. Yet, you're claiming that $60k per year isn't enough to afford a $120,000 house (your faulty figure) or even a $50,000 house (closer to actual debt).
Just think about it. Your used to whites always being in power. All of a sudden this minority comes out of nowhere and takes over a position that's always been held by a white man. Fear of the unknown. It would be like a white guy in the Sudan running for high office. I would be scared if I were black because I don't know him, he is not one of mine, so he might not have my best interests at heart.
I can understand where whites are coming from in regard to that. I would say, why in the beginning would you bother voting for him if you feel that way. 1. I would say white guilt. 2. I would say it was cool and trendy to vote for Obama to prove you arn't racist, and 3. Wanted to see how whites would react with a non-white in office, a test of the white race.
What hogwash! Can anyone be so uninformed as to not know that President Obama was raised by a loving white mother and two loving white grandparents? If anything, he'd resent Kenyans, having been abandoned by his father...but he doesn't.
1. White guilt: That only comes to mind when having to deal with white racists who just can't make that evolutionary leap to equality. It's more like being embarrassed that bigoted Neanderthals still exist.
2. Cool and trendy? What an insult to all Americans, insinuating that one would make a choice for the POTUS based on such a dumb idea. We voted for him because we support his policies.
3. A test of the white race? LMAO! Exactly who's doing the "testing?" What a lame-brained thought.
And BTW, there are no races...a human is a human. The only differences come from physical characteristics based on where one's ancestor's mainly lived...lots of sun equals extra melanin in the skin and vice versa. Bogus OP, bogus thread. Feh!
He is one of you...a socialist / communist / America hater..typical liberal..the kind that my generation created in the 60's. Well..now we are regretting the monster we created. Obama..a communist..raised by a communist..worked for ACORN a communist org with the 2 brothers..you know the embezzelers..SEIU..Communists..what else you want to know??
LMAO! One of me? Your generation?
Talkin' 'bout my gen-er-ation...talkin' 'bout my gen-er-ation...
I'm 52. How old are you, sweetie? I'm a capitalist. What are you? A fascist? I'm independent. Are you a sheep?
Too, too funny. You got nothin'. Zip. Nada. What's it like being filled with such hatred? I'll feel sorry for you Sunday when I'm scooterin' over Sonora Pass. Good luck, sweetie. *hugs* *big KISS!*
Do you think that he read that bill? Well since he didn't have time for that, how much of it do you think he has read?
He keeps saying that this "bill" won't cost us any money. Do you think the man is so stupid that he supports something on the word of his White House bunch alone. I think he knows about some parts of it but the one he really supports is known as public option. He knows that it will kill private insurance companies as small business men go about the business of saving money by paying the fine for dropping their employees and tell the employees to go to public option. Yes, I do think he knows that and wants just that to happen. Enough reason for me to be against all 1000 pages of what no Rep has read all of.
How much of that should we allow to be spent on health care? Surely the whole thing just once could pay off the national debt and allow health care that is nationalized for at least one year. I don't know what businesses do when all their money goes for this purpose but surely some progressive has an answer short of collectivism to take care of that one year.
Why should I be affraid of Obama, an empty hot air suit with no expereince...no way I will get scared of him.
I hope nothing happens to him (otherwise we are stuck with him like the Kennedy's) and in 3 yrs we will forget he ever was the president other than he will be competing for the worst president ever with Carter!
Thats right! Because Bush/Cheney gave it to all thier friends before Obama took office. If we as a country must go into debt to solve a problem, i think health care is a darn good reason. Beats the h*ll out of chasing ghosts in Iraq!
Great so now because I don't like the mans plans I am scared of the black man!
So when I didn't like Bush's plans was I afraid of Texans?
Oh and trust me I have ZERO guilt about anything!!
We don't hold that against you. Duhbya was born and raised in that booming metro NYC metropolis of New Haven, CT, anyway. We're still trying to fight the myth of him being a native.
Anyway, whitey voted Prez Barry in. Maybe it is a white guilt thing after all...
