What would you do if someone referred to President Obama with the "n" word?
What do you mean “if”? I live in a small town in a very conservative area and I heard that word— referring to Obama—more times in a week than are in all of Fifty Cent’s videos put together. I’ve even heard kids say it because they heard their parents say it all the time. Lately I’ve been hearing it used about Maxine Waters, often by the same people who used it about Obama.There’s not much you can do. If you object, it’s not going to make them change their mind and will have no effect on them other than your being called a “nigger-lover”. And the interesting thing about that is that’s usually followed by something along the lines of, “That’s not being racist because there are ‘blacks’ and there are ‘niggers’. Ben Carson is ‘black’; Maxine Waters is a ‘nigger’. Besides, even they call each other that word all the time”.They just don’t get it. Then again, maybe they actually do.
Why do Republicans say that President Obama is arrogant?
A2A.Only those who do not understand strength of grace misinterpret his confidence as arrogance. Confidence recognizes confidence. Its like two frequencies in synch. Lack of self confidence creates feelings of intimidation when in the company of a self confident person.Those who appreciated his qualities found in them tremendous humility born of his experience that fortified his expression and compassion. But then, he wasn’t born into great wealth, nor was he a bully or spoiled brat as a child.He stands tall, his movements are elegant. He is intelligent when he speaks. He doesn’t act like a child throwing a tantrum or stand and shout out insults, with arms waving and his face bloated. He expressed respect for all people, even the ones who so viciously vowed to see him fail. He is miles above them in class. There was in him, actually something to respect and admire. Not so before him, or after him. He was a calm in the storm.He does not break when insulted, and tweet all night like a school girl. He has self restraint and the vision to scope out situations and understand what is called for as a response. He was therefore a worthy diplomat. He does not let emotions or ego diminish his expression. He is emotionally mature and responsible. And, he has a lovely sense of humor and wit.After 8 years of George W. with his floundering through a sentence while slumped over the podium like he was too drunk to stand up straight, his mispronounced words, ridiculous sentences, horrendous agenda, and moments of drawing a blank, It was a pleasure and an inspiration to watch Barack Obama. He has a heart. He has compassion. Arrogant men have neither.In other words, Obama did his job. The fact there was a party that lived to beat him down is despicable. But there you have it. The age old myth of light and dark…..almost to literal for a decent person to bear.Who knows what Obama was behind the scenes? He is a man as complicated as you or I. But what is important is he respected the people of this country enough to put his best foot forward on our behalf and when he spoke to us, it was of hope and unity, dreams fulfilled and peace.In other words, again, he did his job.So now we are back with a joker from Clown College.
When will the left give President Trump a chance the way they gave Obama one?
In 2009, Obama was facing a financial crisis. One of the many problems he faced was that the big 3 automakers were on the edge of insolvency. Inaction meant the end of Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Obama decided that in exchange for needed cash, the federal government would receive equity rather than loans. In effect, he used gov’t money to partly purchase 2 of the big 3 (Ford didn’t take the money).When this happened, the political right claimed that this was the first step to communism. They did not wait weeks or even days to pass judgement. This was the end of the republic and Obama would eventually nationalize all means of production. The president’s critics did not wait to pass judgement. The action itself was bad enough. The fact that the gov’t sold the equity in 2010 at a profit was ignored.If you are a politician, the voters don’t wait. If you are the mayor and fill the potholes on main street, 40% of the people will complain that you spend too much. You don’t get to wait and see the results of the new highway, or the new tax cuts. Is that fair? Nope. Should we wait and see the results? Perhaps. Will Fox News admit that the gov’t made money on the auto bailout and saved millions of private sector jobs? Not in a million years.
In one word, describe George W. Bush Jr. as a president?
