Why do some people loathe Obama?

[Claudette]

Totally agree GAte.

This guy isn't up to the job in my opinion. He is a great orator but that can only carry him so far. I don't think he has a clue. He surrounds himself with his pay to play crowd from Chicago and apparantly never heard a thing Rev Wright was preaching though he sat in his church for 20 years. He has let the left wing of his party write the bills he's signed so far and obviously intends to govern from the left. Hope and change, and Change we can believe in, kinda sorta doubt it. This guy just don't work for me.

 

[noose4]

wow. I did not know how much of a racist you really are. I thought you were just mentally ill. Now I see just how badly.

wow!!! coming from a scumbag piece of shit like you that really hurts.

Being outed as a racist does hurt, doesn't it?

Seek help.

in your bizarre world pointing out racists like yourself makes me a racist, you are a scumbag and a piece of shit and you should crawl back into the shithole you wormed your way out of.

 

[AllieBaba]

Who loathes Obama? When have you heard the kind of petty carping criticism of Obama you used to hear about Bush?

If anything, the petty criticism I've heard of Obama has been far worse. Outside of a loon fringe, the criticisms of Bush were based on policies. You didn't have members of Congress claiming things as outlandish as the president was an illegal alien, or that he was planning to kill the elderly in their sleep.

I think that's so true. I just recently heard about the bumper stickers, tees, and other merchandise that say:

Pray For Obama
Psalm 109:8

Psalm 109:8 reads, quote, “Let his days be few and let another take his office.” The psalm then continues, “Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. Let his children continually be vagabonds and beg. Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. Let the creditor seize all that he has and let strangers plunder his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy to him nor let there be any favor to his fatherless children.”

I think that is so cruel. People need to realize that there are nuts out there that do hate Obama and wish him ill.

Sure.

But there are people who aren't considered nuts who wish the American people ill. I'm more concerned about THOSE people than the random crackpots.

Except the people making those bumper stickers aren't random nuts. They're the core of the Republican Party, whose leadership issues those exact same sentiments.

 

[rdean]

The right can't get past thinking of him as "so Balack Obama".

 

[Polk]

I think it must be in how you look at things, because most of the criticisms of Bush that I remember were that he didn't speak intelligently or he had big ears making him look like a monkey etc. There was some criticism of the war or how we got into to war, but most of it was about his lack of speaking ability.

As for President Obama, I see more of the criticism as being his politics i.e. universal heath care and the stimulus plan which is thinly veiled socialism at its worst.

Basically, I would have to say it falls to your interpretation of the criticism, because in your words, "or that he was planning to kill the elderly in their sleep", which was not the criticism at all, rather it was that his policy would lead to rationalized healthcare and some people would not receive the needed care.

Nor, do I recall anyone claiming he was an illegal alien, but rather that based upon the Constitution he was not eligible to be President.

Then again, there was plenty of criticism, much of it deserved, in how President Bush wrangled us into a war in Iraq. And whether or not we should be there which were attacks on the President's policies.

I'm not saying you are wrong about the attacks on President Obama, as much of it is childish, but so was much of the attacks on President Bush.

Note: I am speaking general public here and you did mention Congress, but I think it applies to both.

Immie

That's completely dishonest. For starters, if government providing health insurance resulted in care being rationed to the elderly, why is that not already occurring now, since everyone over age 65 is in a government health insurance program? Also, you elevate the birthers to a level of seriousness they haven't even remotely earned. Notice that they continue the crazy crusade even after Obama's birth certificate was released to the public.

I guess I'm a "birther". His long form was never released to the public. Even if it had been and even if it was proven he was born in Hawaii, that doesn't necessarily make him a native born American citizen. He went to school in Indonesia where his citizenship was listed as "Indonesian". He traveled to Pakistan after the age a majority when American's weren't allowed. It stands to reason he traveled on an Indonesian passport. Indonesia doesn't accept dual citizenship which means he gave up his American citizenship AFTER the age of majority. He himself has called himself a "citizen of the world"...I maintain we don't need a "citizen of the world" as our president, we need and American citizen as our president.

He said he visited all 57 states. How many states do we have? For the slow minded, we have 50, not 57. There are, however, 57 Islamic states, quite possibly he visited them all on his Indonesian passport. Ever wonder why he won't release his passport? Of course not..the Obama worshipers are as bad as the Bush worshipers. Some people just don't believe that "their" candidate can do any wrong.

So many things wrong with that, I don't know where to begin. He was born in Hawaii (which his birth certificate shows) and one of his parents was an American citizen. Under either standard (jus soli or jus sanguinis) of citizenship. He never traveled to Pakistan (no idea where that crazy idea came from), and even if he had, it wouldn't mean anything. There is also a travel ban on Americans entering Cuba, and yet people do it every year. Therefore, your claims that he had an Indonesian passport are purely invented. In fact, it would be impossible for Obama to have an Indonesian passport because they're only issued to citizens.

The 57 states comment was a slip of tongue (because I'm sure you've never misspoke). I said fifty instead of forty, referring to continental United States (noting he said he had one left to go, and there are 48 states in the continental United States). Furthermore, there are not 57 "Islamic states". The Organization of the Islamic Conference has 63 members (57 full members and 6 observers). If we want to talk about things involving the number 57, the statement was made during the primary and there are 57 Democratic primary contests (the 50 states, Washington DC, Guam, Virgin Islands, Democrats Abroad, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the Texas caucus (which is separate from the Texas primary)).

The reason he won't release his passport is because he's not going to bow to every demand made by crazies like you. He could provide photos of his birth, right there in Hawaii, and you'd claim the photos were doctored. You're already made up your mind that he's not a natural-born citizen, and no amount of evidence is going to persuade you.

The 57 states comment was funny, but it was also an obvious slip of the tongue. Fun to joke about for a day or two, nothing more than that and about on the same level as Quayle's mis-spelling of Potatoes.

I must admit that when I heard he had said 57, I wondered what he was thinking about. Was he thinking about the 50 states and maybe 7 territories. Honestly I'm not even sure how many of those we have, PR, Guam, Okinawa? U.S. Virgin Islands to name a few. Maybe he was joking? I didn't care.

The birth certificate? Well, my one question is, "why aren't any and all candidates for POTUS required to give proof of their U.S. Citizenship upon filing to be put on the ballot?"

I had to prove it when I got my license and I have to prove it whenever I do certain things today. Why isn't a candidate required to do so to get on the ballot and if they are, why didn't the registrar responsible simply state that his eligibility had been documented?

The state of Hawaii has publicly stated that his birth certificate is valid and he was born there. Would the Republican governor of Hawaii have a vested interest in lying for him?

I know that and I am not disputing that. But they took their ever loving time about doing so. They could have squashed the issue in a matter of hours if they had wanted to. Then again, I'm sure they were afraid of angering people carrying an (R) after their names.

He is a communist and communist deserve to be loathed. I would not mind if he ceased to be president.

I think that's so true. I just recently heard about the bumper stickers, tees, and other merchandise that say:

Pray For Obama
Psalm 109:8

Psalm 109:8 reads, quote, “Let his days be few and let another take his office.” The psalm then continues, “Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. Let his children continually be vagabonds and beg. Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. Let the creditor seize all that he has and let strangers plunder his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy to him nor let there be any favor to his fatherless children.”

I think that is so cruel. People need to realize that there are nuts out there that do hate Obama and wish him ill.

But the t-shirts don't say Psalm 109:8-9 which would include the 'children be fatherless' but. It says 109:8 "Let his days be few and let another take his office". Anyone who knows how to quote scriptures, understands exactly what it means. It's everyone else who has a problem with it.

I am not an Obama fan but the point is taken.

The Far Right is going ape shit and damaging their own case.
