Remember when it was Bush's fault for the tone in Washington?
What, you don't think the president, whoever he is, sets the tone in Washington?

Remember when it was Bush's fault for the tone in Washington?
Meanwhile, Obama kicked the right's ass twice and Hillary is almost guaranteed a win next.
I like Judge Judy but its not Obama's fault the racists came out and are showing their ugly heads with this division. Its asinine to blame him.
I think it's right to blame him. He was the one who attacked the police when that professor claimed he was being hassled because he was black. Remember the beer summit that resulted? Then he was all "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon!" The truth is that Obama is a Black president and nothing else. Being Black is important to him. He is so concerned with his blackness that he has divided this country instead of bringing it together.
IMO Obama himself is a racist.
See, why is this seen as a racist thing?
Could the police who arrested a man going into his own home, could those actions be judged as stupid or is it only stupid if you're racist? You are pretending that the only way arresting a man for breaking into his own house can be stupid is if it's racist.
Its not Obama's fault that every word that come out of his mouth is seen by whites as divisive. It always will be as long as Obama is black....As long as anyone is black white will always take offense to it because they've been mistreated in America for a long time

No no it's totally fair! Once Obama got elected there was a law written that no one is responsible for their behavior and that the newly elected President was responsible for everyones civility or lack of it.
I think it was HR ID10T
Flipping the bone, flipping the bird, toasting with a middle finger or just a a good ol' republican/rightwinged fuck you to the citizens of the US is the GOP way of not causing divisiveness in the country.
I see this has turned into a discussion where black people are excused for their behavior?
Obama screwed the pooch on many things, primarily race relations.
Frankly, this is what happens when put someone in a position they are not qualified to be in, regardless of skin color.It takes years of moving up the ladder to be ready to lead.
By the end of my military career I sometimes led an entire battalion. Do you think the Army just plucked me off the street and made me a battalion commander, or do you thin they groomed me , and tried me out at several levels of command until I proved myself ready for a battalion of my own?
Hint , it took 15 years to get that command.
Irrespective of Obama's political beliefs, he simply wasn't ready for command. It takes many things to command, chief among them, introspection, which Obama has none of. A good commander would have asked himself if commenting about criminal cases involving blacks when he himself is black would be good for the country or divisive for the country.
Obama either failed to ask himself that before commenting, or more frighteningly DID ask himself that, and just decided to be decisive.
I just don't understand this need to defend our political representatives as if they are infallible. They are not, Obama is a man, just as Bush was before him. Neither were or are particularly good Presidents, but yet here we see people defending both of them.
I'm sorry , but I strongly suspect that Obama is only getting the benefit of the doubt b/c he's black, and that is a sad commentary on blacks today. Blacks can stand on their own merits without others calling any criticism of the them racism.
Nobody has ever arrested me for breaking into my own home(s).
Oh please stop boring us with the race card. Nobody cares.Watched an interview with her on huluplus....
"I had hopes 6 years ago when we elected our first black President...but things of late are clearly not going so well, I have never known a time in my memory where there is such a divisive time in our country and such an acerbic nature of the conversation as now. There is no civility." (in Washington)
Commenting on what would Lincoln think of seeing the first black President
"Well the question is, first it is wonderful, a black President is wonderful..but the question should be - was it the RIGHT black President. Same thing about a women, would it be great to have a women as President of the United States? Absolutely! But...(she leans in closer) but only if it is the right woman."
"So to say that the country has moved forward because we have a woman as President or a Latino President - or - a black President...That is not the answer! That is not where the focus should be, the focus should be is this person the BEST person?"
"If you had a heart attack, would you say "find me the best minority surgeon you can find? ...no...you would want the best heart surgeon in the world. That is what we would want for ourselves, that is what our country should want for ourselves...not the best of something...but the best period. And I think in this we have got short changed"
She is a beauty. Maybe she should be President.

The woman with the $10 million-plus yearly contract doesn't like the Democratic president?
I'm shocked!!!!
Judge Judy would make fine President, with Judge Jannine Pirro either her Vice President or Attorney General.
Having seen previous female world leaders (Margaret Thatcher, Indira Ghandi, Gold Mayer, etc.) and previous (male) presidents, America is long over due for a President of Judge Judy's caliber, wisdom, integrity and honesty.

Judge Scheindlin would never want the office. Or the pay cut. Or the headaches.
Or the rapid aging caused by the stress of the Office.

I disagree with everything his white half says too. Disagreement with obama is not about race nearly as much as agreement with him by the left, is.Meanwhile, Obama kicked the right's ass twice and Hillary is almost guaranteed a win next.
