Obama's Greatest "Teachable Moment" (racism, Clinton, politicians, Chicago)

[joebaldknobber]

What "Teachable Moment" by Obama has contributed most to your life or society in general?

[Rakin]

Bill Clinton wasn't so bad after all.

[badhornet]

Obama has taught me what his son would look like if he had one. Now I can sleep at night

[freightshaker]

Obama hasn't taught me anything, but he has reinforced my belief that one should never trust any politician.

[evilnewbie]

Obama has taught me that if you think a politician will be different by talking about change, don't believe them... has anyone noticed that Obama hasn't really used the word "hope" and "change" anymore...

I learned the Cambridge, Massachussetts Police department is racist. Professor Gates should have been left alone.

Cambridge's racism reminds me of Chicago racism in the 1960s.

[Rakin]

He's affirmed my belief there has never been an honest politician come out of Chicago.

[WIHS2006]

Affirmed my belief that we should no longer have a politician serving as both head of state and head of government at the same time.

It also affirmed my belief that politicians suck.

[bnepler]

Now I know what those "south-side chicago morals" moochelle was talking about.

[intelfan11315]

That the American people can be manipulated by race.
