Obama's biggest mistake

[BluesLegend]

OP the left was fomenting racial division before Obama became president and has continued to foment racial division while Obama has been president. Nothing new is going on here except that having a black president makes it easier to foment racial division.

Without division, racial, gender, economic the left has no power.

As an Obama supporter and voter, I NEVER expected him to solve the underlying racism that still exists.....It is way beyond any president's capability to change the "hearts" of many who were born in the post WWII era......it will take a couple more generations to finally erase this major flaw within our divided citizenry.

A testament to this recalcitrant racism that exists, may indeed be the REASON why so many hate Obama (but find other terms beside race in expressing the hatred.) The "birther" movement is a perfect example.

Don't you think that he should have at least not make it worse? With several race-induced riots taking place in Ferguson and Baltimore prejudice and mutual hatred got another turn. If it is only about people and their habits how come many problem appeared when Obama came to power?

1) Obama is right about this: there ARE lots of people out there who oppose him because of his color. Exit polling in West Virginia put that figure at about 10%.

2) Sonny Clark: Obama took advantage of his early opportunities by passing Obamacare. Like it or not, it is a milestone piece of legislation that Democrats have been trying to pass for 70 years.

3) making progress in terms of race relations in this country has always been messy. From a civil war to riots to police attacking peaceful protesters. So it is idiotic to say recent violence is a sign that no progress is being made.

Obamas biggest mistake was allowing his seduction by progressive moonbats. Yeah, he was young, but presumably he could have opted out of the cult of cluelessness at any time. Now, he is just another pawn.

You can sum up Obama on race relations with one question. What has Obama done to better the black population? Answer, nothing. They are worse off now, but muslim immigrants are better off.

 

[Mac1958]

No President, by a mile, has been better equipped to deal honestly and clearly on the subject of race than this man.

He could have and should have provided The Speech On Race early in his administration, in which he could have (a) clearly and meticulously pointed out the sins and strengths of both "ends" of this issue, and (b) directly challenged both "ends" of the issue to get their own shit together and clean their own house before pointing the finger. He could then have stayed on point, referring back to elements of that speech, for the rest of his time in office.

He chose not to do this, and it's not exactly a stretch to imagine that he did not want to annoy an important voting bloc.

Has he made comments here and there? Yes. But he could have provided a true turning point and didn't have the guts to do so.

Barack Obama couldn't care less about blacks as he is not a product of the black culture or experience. The only reason he pretends to sometimes care about them, is only for votes for the Democratic socialist party. The way he does that is by keeping them down through the distribution of entitlements.

Obama was born in Hi, in 1961, to a white mother and black African atheist father who left his pregnant wife before Obama was born. Obama would see him once as a youngster. Mother Ann then married a Muslim, Lolo Soetoro, and together they had a child, a girl. Obama lived in Indonesia for four of his formative years and was taught in school by Muslims. This is where Obama's sympathies lie. With Islam.

Mother Ann and step-father Lolo would wait at the gait as the co-pilot of an airliner walked little ten year-old Barry to the airplane where he strapped him in his seat and headed for Hawaii, to his grandparents home, where he would begin living and going, on scholarship, to a private school where he was again an outcast as the other students were wealthy. The Dunhams, originally from Kansas, were blue collar. The grandmother and grandfather worked for a living and Obama would be left with a babysitter who was a gay man who often dressed in women's clothing. Obama's mentor was a communist, Frank Marshall Davis.

Read Dreams from My Father, for more on Obama and why and how he became a non-feeling person with a deeply-rooted inferiority complex and who desperately seeks power and how and why he hates America and Americans, and those evil profits. His objective is global justice, and his weapon of choice to doom America with is our national debt.

Obama is a narcissistic, ego-maniac, with no real sense of self-worth, as most people who grow up with a sense of abandonment have and who must therefore control, without negotiating, all things in life. He is the poor kid who stuck it rich, because of his charisma and oratory skills. Few people saw him as the un-feeling, cold-blooded, and cunning liar, he is.

Divide and conquer.

 

[blackhawk]

We found out where Obama was on race after the professor Gates incident when he was asked about it and without knowing any of the details about the incident stated the police acted stupidly.

"perfect' response to the O/P...whether the above poster realizes it or not (probably not.)

Whether the above poster I'm guessing that would be me realizes it or not my, my someone is full of themself this morning.

Now that you got THAT off your chest, you should know that were he allowed by law, Obama would be re-elected to a third term.....Now THAT should piss you off even more than you are now.

I was sure a black president would be able to address racial issues in the US and finally solve them.

That's an incredibly racist thing to say.

Just because someone is black does not mean they are competent to fix a problem.
Just because someone is black does not mean the problem in question can be fixed by a President.
Just because someone is black does not mean the problem can be fixed within a certain amount of time (i.e. the life of an Administration).
Just because someone is black does not mean they are more capable than a non-black person to fix the problem.
Just because someone is black does not mean they are not part of the problem.
Just because someone is black does not mean they want to fix the problem.
Just because someone is black does not mean they even understand the problem.

For Christ's sake. That's not a racist thing to say.
I am simply ready to admit we are all different. It is important to be raised in a certain culture in order to understand it better. I was talking about black president who is better at understanding black people.
Feel the difference between racism and my point?

I'm not so sure that the relation is "worse" although not necessarily better with Obama.....My conjecture is that it may seem worse since the prominence of videos has made racial tensions between police and minorities go from "suspicions" to "irrefutable fact."

The unfortunate (and a product of circumstance) factor is that Obama's rise to the presidency has "helped" to peel off that thin veil of tacit acceptance of blacks by closeted racists.....and, especially among SOME law enforcement officers, the resentment manifests itself in much less tolerance.

Conversely, among some (very few) blacks, the rise of Obama seems to have wrongly elicited some "excuse" for unlawful behaviors.

Bottom line.....I honestly don't see a POTUS' responsibility to change the mindset of some nitwits, especially in an environment that loves to blame Obama for "over-reaching" his mandates.

Both ends of the issue? What ends are those? What strengths do racists and bigots have when it comes to this issue?

 

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Bullshit.

You are welcome to GTFO of this thread in case you don't like it and have nothing constructive to say.

A little touchy there?

 

[nat4900]

What strengths do racists and bigots have when it comes to this issue?

......and, if I may add, there would be very little that Obama...or any other future dark skinned president.....could ever do to thoroughly change the perspective of a racist or bigot.

 

[gipper]

Obama's biggest mistake is his enormous ego resulting in a terrible arrogance.

Our nation's biggest mistake was electing him POTUS.

 

[rightwinger]

Obamas biggest mistake was that he was naive when he took office. He thought he would be treated the same as previous presidents and would have a Congress that was, as a minimum, willing to do its job

 

[ScienceRocks]

True,,,He pissed off a lot of people he could of gotten on his side. By doing so he helped the extreme on the right to gain a lot more power then it otherwise would of.

He could of focused on infrastructure, science, r&d and made a strong case for why the public sector is good for our country. Instead, he comes at as a bigot and a supporter of criminals...Next he comes out strengthening the far rights case on too much government with this justice department shit, gay shit and just being ugly.

The left fucked up electing this guy. I am a moderate and believe the government has a important roll in our society but Obama didn't advance it. I pray the tidal wave of anger isn't too high in 2016 that we lose our science institutions and infrastructure funding.

 

[boedicca]

Note to the OP: It's rather illogical to expect someone who promotes race identity politics to have any desire to end racialism.
