What the hell is "black sensibility?"

Are you supposing that a black person has a different form, and perhaps better, idea of sensibility?

The race card is all-purpose in its use apparently.

And to that I say this...they really need to go somewhere, find some tools, build a bridge, and get over it, because their juvenile whining and ceaseless nit-picking are accomplishing nothing except making other folks tell them to 'shut the eff up already'! End of rant
Buddy, I'd pick a bushel of crabs with you anytime.

Life is too short to hate others for any reason, unless they've said or done something awful.

And I'll reply to you in the words of a very famous Black cartoon character---Sylvester The Cat...to wit "Ahhhhhhhhhhh Shaddappp!"

Good lord, you people just don't quit, do you? It's just like that Marty Feldman bit in Young Frankenstein, where saying Cloris Leachman's Frau Blucher character name caused horses to whinny in fright---only this time the scare word is 'Obama'...un-freakin'-believable

Funny that one of the most divisive presidents in history ran on a platform of "UNITY". Remember that word getting tossed around in the campaign?? UNITY and "Yes WE Can".......

Wow.

What a total lie.

hahaha, your party was divisive way before Obama ran for President. Ever hear of Nixon's "Southern strategy"? Look it up, please.

The GOP's problem today is that they've divided themselves into a teeny-weeny corner, and it doesn't feel good any more.

Hey, it's your own fault that you hate him so much. Divisive? Yeah, that would be the people on the right.

At what point in the administration of George Bush did you manage to admit that he won two elections that ABBs just couldn't believe? This crap about who won when is nothing but Pelosi and a whole load of it. Do you really think that there are as many deniers about 2008 as there were about 2000 or 2004?

I agree many on the right are divisive.....George Bush was VERY divisive.
But I'm a Democrat and thought we were getting CHANGE. We didn't. It was a lie. Many of us who were Hillary supporters saw the lie early on and now are watching it play out.

Funny that Obambi can't get all of us Democrats to agree with him....if he could, he could easily pass Healthscare.

Where is his promised UNITY....even within our own party???????????????
