General Discussion / Re: 20 States File Petition to Secede From the Union...
« on: November 13, 2012, 12:38:48 PM »You're so right! It has absolutely nothing to do with his policies. It has nothing to do with the fact that Obamacare will result in the largest tax hike in history on the middle class, or that it will cause (excuse me, has already caused) employers to lay off large amounts of people (or go out of business). It has nothing to do with the fact that tax increases and absurd amounts of regulations on those businesses don't help either. It has nothing to do with the fact that he passed the "dream" act by executive order. It has nothing to do with him supporting genderless marriage. It has nothing to do with him being praised by communist dictators. It has nothing to do with him telling Russia that after this election, he'll have more "flexibility." It has nothing to do with him supporting partial-birth abortion. It has nothing to do with his constant assault on religious liberties. It has nothing do with Fast and Furious. It has nothing to do with his gross incompetence with Benghazi or pussy-footing with Iran. It has nothing to do with throwing Israel under the bus. Yep, it's just because he's black.
First, this topic was already starting to derail off topic, but since you're an admin. and you don't mind derailing it further, I'll say this. You can disagree with his policies or in your case lack of competence in him as a President, I support the president and no I don't agree on everything he's done or lobbied for. I didn't think it was a good idea to tackle this Healthcare Reform so early in his term while the economy was still in pretty bad shape. However, I don't think it's fair to keep making only President Obama the scape goat as we did during his first term in office. Our congress in Washington on both sides have done their fair share of pussy-footing and throwing the middle class' lives under the bus by keeping our economy on a slow limping recovery for dirty political agendas. You're right in the fact that it's not 100% all about the fact that he's black, but you can't honestly say that racial undertones haven't been mixed into discussions when opposing some of the President's policies. You can voice your opinion against the President without having to hit below the belt with the birther and Kenyan garbage that doesn't do anything but polarize and divide our country further.
