This is the way I look at things too. I've historically voted mostly democrat. I actually voted for Obama in the primaries. It was after he won the primary that I noticed his tone change and gave me my WTF moment. So on and so forth.
I was thinking to myself - if the USA was a business, Obama would be a terrible CEO. He's brought in to replace the failed leadership and make the company profitable. He's got some support and energy going for the short term, the new hotness, y'know, but he's got the wrong vision and he's still got to deal with the idiots still on the corporate board. The long road is going to be very costly as a result and the company probably won't survive. So then who's going to bail US(A) out?
I am still wondering why a man with no political experience would spend $300 million for a job that pays $200K a year...

Why? So he can meet a lot of hot women like good old Bill Clinton. Also so the Obamas can earn millions of dollars like the Clintons did. Nothing like good honest politics.
I think all the people pulling the race card are actually secretly racist and are trying to prove really hard the opposite. Kinda like that neighbor dad in "American Beauty" eh?
Do you mean the right wing dad played by Chris Cooper? The classic authoritarian, gung ho marine super-patriot, who's actually a bigoted, domineering closet case and hates sensitivity.... you mean that one?

Something like that.
The same guy who spends the entire movie preaching against everything he secretly is.
In fact, that is a good part of what the movie is about, being spending their entire lives pretending to be something they not and ending up basketcase as a result.

Yeah, that one. Not Kevin Spacey. And I want to point out I say that toungue-in-cheek, I don't mean to say anyone or absolutely everyone speaking out against the protests is a closet-racist. Just a fun similarity but when you pull that card out, perhaps there's a sliver of truth in there somewhere.

it's always nice to hear what a failed comedian has to say about people. especially when the interview is being conducted on sports center. what's next from this party? is stuart smalley going to run for senator of minnesota or something absurd like that?
Where do you live? In a vacuum? Come teach in NYC and see what is going on. The majority of the students in school in the South Bronx and Harlem are on welfare. What’s the matter does the truth hurt? Bill Cosby says even tougher things about the African American Community. Is he a racist? Get your cool aid comrade.
No, I don't live in a vacuum. I'm more familiar with NYC than many people, though I have never taught there. BUt whatever you see there in one school CANNOT be attributed to entirety of the black race in America.
PS. If you have ever read my posts, you will understand that I am about as close to a "Comrade" as NYC is to Moscow.

That's funny because when I watched Fox News's coverage of the Atlanta event, I saw lots of black people. I was kind of surprised, actually.
Why were you surprised? Atlanta is a very diverse metro, and its inner city has one of the historically highest black populations in the US.
