Why All This Drama Over Obama?

[editec]

No they don't hate Obama specifically.

They hate him abstractly, much like they hate EVERY player who is not on their team.

This is the hallmark of partisan notwit behavior.

 

[Stephanie]

I'll just be glad when he's gone and we don't have to hear this crap anymore..Like it can't be the man's policies, his thuggish behavior, his blame for his failures on everybody else, his visions of wanting to TRANSFORM America into some socialist hell hole, etc etc.
oh no, it just HAS TO BE BECAUSE HE'S BLACK

Obama isn't "hated" anymore than Bush was...but the whining from the left has become a fever pitch because ALL the people just don't LOVE that Obama

Why All This Drama Over Obama?

Why Do Republicans and Tea Baggers Hate President Obama?

I guess more accurately the question should be why do some people hate President Obama? He was elected by a large margin of electoral votes so there are definitely a lot of people who like him. But that said! Why All his Drama Over Obama?

When he announced he was running for president, the secret service had to start guarding him about six months before they normally start guarding presidential candidates, because of all the death threats he was receiving. So the question is why is that? What had he done that was so bad that they had to start guarding him that early? Did he murder somebody, rape somebody, rob a bank, commit an act of terrorism?

No he didn't.

All through the presidential campaign there were people protesting his candidacy, calling him a traitor, a socialist, a communist, a Muslim or an Arab, (which to their minds were all bad things) but none of this was true! But they still persisted in spewing their hatred toward him and were not amenable to reason or the truth.

They want to de-legitimize his presidency and get him out of office by any means necessary! It was just one thing after another all summer long. Again Why All This Drama Over Obama?

As shocking as this may seem to some of you, there are some people in this country who just don’t want to see a black man be president of the United States! Or any none white person for that matter. But definitely not a black man! They say this is a white country and should be ruled or governed only by white people, preferably white men.

To these people (including some in the congress) President Obama can do no good. He could walk on water, bring the dead back to life, wipe out world hunger, bring peace to the world and they’ll find a way to find something wrong with what he did. Because it’s not about what he did. It’s about what he is!

Why Do Republicans And Tea Baggers Hate President Obama?

Since your first line is nothing but projection then the rest can't be trusted. Few hate Obama. Hate what he has done to this country, yes. Hate what he has done to our grandchildren, yes. Hate what he is doing to our health care, yes. But hate him? Nope most don't know him and I am not going to allow the hate from the left to define me. What the left tries to do is disarm opposition to the damage Obama has done by either calling it hate or racism. BS on that.

Drama is right. The Democrats make everything about race, so the GOP's predictable opposition to anything a Democrat does is labeled racism. Yawn.

And the GOP's predictable opposition to anything a Democrat does really became solidified with the advent of the Tea Party and its merry band of simplistic absolutists.

Is there a racial element? Yeah, of course, and it exists in both parties. But the manic opposition to Obama was born the day Rick Santelli made his rant on CNBC.

[hortysir]

The hate and lying that has been directed at President Obama is not normal. Come on, people!!! It has nothing to do with his policies. And this issue needs to be recognized. I'm tired of people acting like it doesn't exist.

If people don't want to be accused of being a racist then shey should not act like one.

Must be nice to have such a selective memory that you don't remember the hate and venom directed toward "W".

Guess liberals were racist, too????

 

[Katzndogz]

obama isn't hated. His policies are despised.

Blah blah blah...racist, blah blah blah bigot, blah blah blah....you people are idiots...but all means keep playing that card

 

[Zander]

We must all be racist....otherwise Obama's lies would all be true.

 

[Listening]

He was elected by a large margin of electoral votes…

That’s partly the reason why – conservatives were extremely angry that such a large number of Americans were rejecting the conservative agenda. To prove all those voters were wrong and redeem conservative dogma, Obama not only needed to be defeated but destroyed.

Remember also that republicans perceive the WH as their birthright, that democrats have ‘no business’ being president. Republicans have no interest in Congress, a venue of negotiations and compromise; as authoritarians, conservatives crave the Imperial Presidency where they can rule unhindered by the need for consensus.

OMG....ROTFLMAO.

Conservatives were very angry because we knew Bush was headed over a cliff and he would not listen. He had a tremendous opportunity and he pissed it all away by getting us locked up in a couple of expensive wars.

Where were we going to turn ? Al Gore ?

By 2006, Bush's damage was apparent. By 2008, the dems were declaring us dead and buried for at least ten years....and I saw no reason to disbelieve them.

Talk about grasping for air. I recall actually looking to move out of the country.

Then 2010 comes along. In two short years, Obama hands the house back. People saw that Obama's policies (not Obama) were awful and that the entire democratic government was sinking us fast. Along the way, they did manage to create enough addicts to bolster future losses.

But 2012 looks like a recovery of sorts and the conservatives are working to get as much ground as they can.

Obama is a nice guy. And he be nice in Chicago.

In Kansas, we ran the last of the RINOs out of the senate and now own the State House, the House, and the Senate.

Are you ready to rumble ?

 

[francoHFW]

Seriously, only half the GOP is racist- but all the dupes are sorely misled...Pubs have made crazy mainstream- their BS propaganda is a disgrace. See sig pp3.

Absolutely..

That..and he's um..black.



(But they did their damndest to destroy Clinton as well..)

Still stuck on the stupid with the theory that Bush was a conservative, huh? Bush was not a conservative. He was a Republican. Difference. I am conservative, I am not a Republican. Admittedly, it takes a level of intellect to understand the difference... and you never will because you herd.

 

[Yurt]

liberals that throw out the race card all the time do a real disservice to actual racism and to black people. as if black people can't stand or be criticized on their own merit, rather, it has to be about their skin color.

 

[California Girl]

That card's over its limit. Rejected.

 

[midcan5]

If Obama were white and from the south, the 2016 election would make Goldwater - Johnson look close. Republicans prove they are interested in power only as governance is beyond them, but losing to a Black democrat was too much. One thought Hillary would always reign as Satan to the right, Obama proved hatred has no limits. Hillary suddenly changed from devil to angel, only in America.

Inge Marler, Arkansas Tea Party Leader, Makes Racist Joke At Event

"....A new survey by the University of Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality offers fresh insight into the racial attitudes of Tea Party sympathizers. "The data suggests that people who are Tea Party supporters have a higher probability"—25 percent, to be exact—"of being racially resentful than those who are not Tea Party supporters," says Christopher Parker, who directed the study. "The Tea Party is not just about politics and size of government. The data suggests it may also be about race." Are Tea Partiers Racist? - Newsweek and The Daily Beast

Glenn Beck Suggests Tea Party Is Racist | ThinkProgress


"White children, in the main, and whether they are rich or poor, grow up with a grasp of reality so feeble that they can very accurately be described as deluded--about themselves and the world they live in. White people have managed to get through their entire lifetimes in this euphoric state, but black people have not been so lucky: a black man who sees the world the way John Wayne, for example, sees it would not be an eccentric patriot, but a raving maniac."

It's because they can't cope with an intelligent discussion of issues... they're fed a diet of 'right wing = racist' by their media... and they are too stupid to question it. A herd of borg.
