I was going to post this as a separate thread. But, as you started this, here goes:

The Egomaniac Can't Stop!


Eulogizing Mandela, Obama simply cannot help but referring to himself. Wonder what the rest of the world thinks about it. At least, when he met Raul Castro, he didn't bow. Read the story @ Obama Talks About Himself in Mandela Eulogy

When will Obama and Oprah start to understand that they have the opportunity to do something about it instead of stirring the pot over and over and creating more racism.

If we disagree with Alabama we are a racist, but all we say that Obama ideas are not ours!!!

Oops I did it again, I guess I'm a racist in both their eyes but all I do is having MY own opinion which divers from theirs.
I just read the transcript of Obama's speech at Mandela's memorial. What specifically did he say that matches your description?

Surprise, a writer from Brietbart spun the reporting to attack Obama. A personnel reflection given by a speaker at a memorial. Obama certainly didn't break any new ground by doing that.

That's right - do your best to defend your idol, Barry Hussein.

The whole world is beginning to see him for what he is.

READ his scripted speech and then try to tell me it didn't include personalization of his glory.

Already read it. Attacking Obama for briefly mentioning what Mandela meant to him in a memorial speech only undermines the credibility of anyone who wants to attack him for it.

Your ilk are disgusting. Your ideology the scourge of the earth.
You racist repubs have been at it for so many years that you think you have a lock on racism. Quit whining. What goes around comes around.

The Rabid Right is angry because Obama mentioned the Civil Rights struggle. They don't like being reminded of what their bigoted Ku Klux Klan forefathers did during the Jim Crow era.

Yes the right hates Mandela because he was a black man who had the audacity to fight against white rule and better his people in their OWN country! How dare he, if the rights had their way apartheid would still be around. They hate Obama not for his policies per se, but because he is a black man who dared to run for office and won the presidency. Just pisses them off.

another "'I'm not a racist " thread by the far right. Turn off the mainscream media and get out more. TV is bad for your mental health.
