Democrats?

Could that possibly be right? Lucario suffered all that mental anguish for naught. The democrats had his back all the time...

Roy,....please don't interrupt their mutual back patting party.

This is typical of those who get their instructions from Obama's Organizing for America website. Just parrots.....

This is a non issue to people like yourself who tend to make light of any accomplishments that a non white person does and when it is brought to your attention you cry out "Its a race thing!" I bet it would have been a big deal if the shoe was on the other foot.

If he was some major drug dealer and was finally caught I guess that is something that would be more acceptable in your eyes. Can he be criticized? He sure can, but look at the assinine type criticism that is posted.

Far as I'm concerned it does not make a difference that he is black b/c I see successful ones everyday but to be the most powerful man in a racist society that is another matter.

The op is at most childish, and if it was not for your reaction I would have proably ignored it. Obama lives in a fantasy world where he thought that the politicans actually cared about the american people...which they don't. The refuticans are only concerned about tearing him down for their own sinful purposes and the dumbocrats are worried about if they will still have jobs after he is done.

My question is if that david dude or whatever the hell his name is thinks this way about Obama being a teenager what did he think of the previous brain farter and his cohorts? Obvious that man was incrediblely stupid so where does that put him?

I guess that it is hard to do the right thing when you have been castrated with the fear generated by the previous administration claims of being unpatriotic if you did not agree with them.

Here we go again with the Pelosi about Bush when the topic of the thread is Obama. Why can't you people realize that Obama did, in fact, win that election and Bush has been a private citizen for over a year. Just because Obama blames Bush for everything he does wrong doesn't make it necessary for you to jump in with the same Pelosi.

That would be something like being called a racist because you don't like Obama and didn't vote for him. It doesn't bother me at all for you folks to say that about me.

The best part of this is the three advisors that are doing the work to stop sponsors for Beck. Their names are Van Jones, jim Wallis, and Andy Stern. I just can't believe that they thought they could get by with this crap without having Beck tell the world about them.

This highly intelligent president we have will always say he knew nothing about this, but only fools will believe he knew nothing.
How about finding a credible source to support the above bolded statement - and the ridiculous number of sponsors.

More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck's program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers.Howard Kurtz - The Beck Factor at Fox: Staffers say comments taint their work - washingtonpost.com

Never heard of the website - and I'm not a strong supporter of Obama.

Glad you brought that up, Roy. Andy Stern is one of the most frequent, if not THE most frequent visitor to the White House. There's something up their sleeves or they'd have nothing to talk about that often. To think that Obama doesn't know what these three (and probably more behind the scenes) are up to would be naive. Politicians are known for their use of coersion, bribes, financial and political pressures to remove what they perceive as threats or obstacles to their goals. Hillary's stacks of FBI files in her office come to mind, but of course Democrats conveniently forget about that.

Clearly, the Administration knows that Conservative radio and TV programs are presenting obstacles to the progressive agenda. That is the reason for mounting an orchestrated effort to remove the biggest current threat, Beck, who is boldly speaking the truth, and as we all know truth can destroy a president's political career, and tarnish the legacy he would like to leave behind if only it weren't for people on the right who keep trying to expose the truth. That's the reason for efforts such as the fairness doctrine, now called by some other name but still the same game.

These people are ruthless and evil, set on a course of furthering self-interest with the firm belief that "the end justifies the means" and anything or anyone who stands in the way is to be removed. So much for the oath to uphold the Constitution and everyone's right to free speech.
