Why does Trump want to destroy Obama's image so badly?
There is a lot of fancy psychological analysis out there there about why Trump is the way he is. But I think the answer is simpler than that.Trump is a blatant racist and always has been.It's entirely possible that Trump ran for and is president because of his hatred of Obama. He embraced the birther movement and, truth to tell, the birther movement was the start of his political career. Clearly, that is what most of his most ardent supporters like about him.The outrage over the election (twice) of a black man over a white man. The daily images of a black family in the White House. The visceral hatred of any non-white politician holding power over any white man; signaling as it does, the inevitable end of white dominance in politics, governance, social and public leadership.What is maddening to Trump is the apparent ease with which Obama ran his administration compared to the maddening struggle Trump is having. The endless leaks. The lack of adoration and unquestioning acceptance of everything he says or tweets.But, worst of all, Obama just rolls his eyes and ignores every provocation Trump throws at him. And he knows that he could never ignore any insult in a million years. And that he will never beat Obama.
What struggles did Barack Obama experience before he became president?
His dad left his mom when he was young.He was a black kid growing up in Indonesia.He got separated from his mother and sent back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.He was a black kid growing up poor in Hawaii.He was a teenage black kid growing up poor in Chicago.He had some girlfriends that treated him not too nice in New York.He worked to help underprivileged kids in bad Chicago neighborhoods.He took the hard road (to the Top!) at Harvard Law.He had a religious experience and became a Christian in 1998, after living his whole life non-religious — smoking, drinking, getting high, fooling around on the streets.He had to go against his mentor ,when she decided not to run for US Senatebut take her seat in the State Senate back, that she had endorsed him for. He beat her, but lost her as friend, and was not well liked at first in that body for not bowing out.He later lost by 30 points in a run for US Representatives to a guy from the Black Panthers, and he nearly quit politics.He ran for Senate. In Chicago, where Gov Rob Bagoyavich hated him and all those do-gooder dark folks getting in his way of bullying, stealing, and nepotizing his state into bankruptcy.He was shunned by the Democrats for calling the Iraq War “Dumb”, and it was only much later they came around to the same conclusion.
Why do conservatives always blame Obama for starting race issues?
I’m not a Conservative; I’m a libertarian.When campaigning for President in ‘2008, he was asked to “Dis avow “ himself from Jeremiah Wright”. He could have just declined. But he said that he could “ no more dis avow Jeremiah Wright, than his WHITE Grandmother”..the one who RAISED him! He went on to elaborate..”My Grandmother was a “Typical White Woman”, who, if she saw a Black Man walking down the street, would walk to the other side. He neglected to state, that his BLACK Father DESERTED him. If fact, he wrote a BOOK ABOUT HIM! He didn’t call him a “Typical Black Man” See any racial issues yet?Very early in his first administration, a Harvard Professor, Henry Gates,(Black) had an incident, where he was trying to get into his house.he lost his key, and was struggling to get in. A 911 call was placed, reporting “suspicious activity”. The police responded, and asked for I.D. Henry Gates, not realizing that they were actually PROTECTING him, vigorously protested.They next day, Barack Obama infamously stated that…”The Cambridge Police had acted “Stupidly”…before hearing BOTH sides. His conclusion…..Before both sides are presented…..Whites wrong…Black Right!ANY racial incident..(See Travon Martin, Ferguson,MO) is seen as 100% the fault of Whites; 0 % Black. The truth usually lies somewhere in between.IMHO, he NEVER tried to be the “Neutral Party”; the “Post Racial” person that he was advertised to be; After all, he was 50% White; 50 % Black..Raised by White Grandparents…Deserted by a Black Father. so why the animus towards “Whites”?Please, rebut my points one by one, in a non-partisan,non political manner
Obama the liar; How would you feel about Obama the liar becoming president after having told many dirty lies?
a lot better than 8 years of clinton lying to us, and then 8 more years of bush lying to us. Both of their lies have been well documented too. And bush's lies have killed hundreds of thousands of humans, and put us in hundred$ of billion$ of debt, that he is passing off on our kids. bush promised a balanced budget. If he had made us pay for HIS war, it would be over in months Actually it would never have started, his billionaire friends wouldn't have let him raise the taxes needed to pay for it.
Is Racism Really the Major Obstacle Facing Blacks Or Something Else?
"The Bell Curve", and another book "IQ And Nation's Wealth", point toward the primary problem. American blacks have an average 85 IQ. People are always talking about leveling the playing field, and they just keep blaming teachers. It is not the playing field, and it is not the teachers or the schools. A cold hard fact is that blacks as a group simply are not as intelligent as whites as a group. Nothing is going to work until we begin working from reality rather than liberal wishes and baseless beliefs.
