Cant stand the guy but he may just get my vote because of how far out the Left has become.
I know a lot of people who cannot stand Trump, but they feel the same way you do. That is because our country has been so divided. conservative vs liberals democrats vs republicans etc. It is a sad situation. Political correctness makes me think about Red China's cultural revolution.
"Obama bans "oriental" from our federal government lexicon"
Until very recently, I had no idea it was supposedly a bad or un-pc word. Oriental just means somebody from the eastern part of the world, they are Asian. I hardly ever use the word Asian or Oriental though, I tend to think and therefore speak more country specific.

Agreed. I'm voting for Trump, too even tho I don't really care for the dude.
All restaurants that are advertised as "Oriental" will have to change their names too. And all the reservations and casinos that have the word Indian in them should be closed due to their racist names.
How ridiculous!
The word is not going to be used in any FEDERAL governmental documents. Federal. Federal, got it?
Unless the federal government owns every business that uses the word 'oriental' in its name, there will be no need for any name changes.
What makes you think the people who worked for this law have NOT been involved in other endeavors?
I guess this means you do not believe representatives should work for the people they represent.
ooookay, then
Because the same people who are mad about this are the same people that said "Redskins" is offensive....yt when those "Redskins" were asked, 9 our of 10 were NOT offended....
O reeally? Then why is Obama's name in the thread title? Talk about disingenuous. You're on a roll!
Yes, REEEEEALLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY....
Let me ask you a very simple question, this is a yes or no question, can yo handle it, lets see?
If obama would have not signed the bill, would it be law? A simple yes or no will suffice....
Here is the OP's original post, please pay very close attention to the bold part:

Who knew? As it turns out, the word "oriental" is derogatory. Our government, ever quick to be PC, has just scrubbed the term from the federal books and will now refer to those "orientals" as Asian Americans. Before you blame Obama for falling all over himself with political correctness, understand that representatives sent him the bill. Yes, the Republican congress that can't agree on much of anything unanimously passed this bill. This is serious stuff, I guess.
Until Trump is elected and repeals this right after Obamacare, I will stop using the term. How about you?

No they wouldn't. The word Oriental appropriately describes things, just not people.

Thread title: Blame Obama
(Insert half assed disclaimer in body of OP)
But yeah, blame Obama.
(Ever heard someone say "I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'"?)
But hey, stick to your guns, you're doing a fantastic job of proving every point I make.
