And because racist african americans voted for him just because of his ancestory and skin color.
Side note, why do we call people african american or latino american, doesn’t that create division,
not only that doesn’t it signify your priority lies some where other than in the betterment of America.

I think it keeps being redefined precisely so that it can’t die.

I’ve always sort of had a problem with using the hyphenated-American terms as I’ve always thought the hyphen divides rather than unites.
EDIT: I once had an English friend refer to another one of his English friends as an African-American. He knew it was completely wrong the minute he said it, but it was funny.

What the hell? Who in this country didn’t hear about Rev Wright?
You are now claiming not enough people knew? As if it wasn’t covered on every news station and newspaper? WTF?

The Wright sound bites were played ad nauseum on all major cable news networks(even the “liberal” ones), and in the final days of the election GOP attack ads featuring Wright were played countless times each commercial break on CNN and MSNBC. Clearly, the electorate largely didn’t care and these guilt-by-association tactics failed.
Is it out of the realm of possibility that the subject of national politics and foreign policy was not the focus of the Obama-Wright relationship? Could it be that Obama only considers Wright a mentor in the spiritual realm, and not the geopolitical or economic realm?
I have a lot of friends who stay stupid, often offensive shit, but they’re still my friends, and their views don’t suddenly become mine just because I associate with them. I may even scorn them for their views, while ultimately adopting a “let’s agree to disagree” approach.

No it didn’t, but lets just use that as a crutch for everything so it never will die. Every single person has been discriminated at one time or another. Just because I got beat up by a bunch of black kids when I was 7 means I should hate all blacks?

It does divide.
LOL. It’s hardly guilt by association when “Dreams from my Father: A story of race and inheritance” contains many of the same views as those of Wright. Obama’s attendance of Wright’s church was an effort to become “black enough.” The reason he lost his first political contest was because he ran against a former black panther who (rightly) pointed out that Obama participated in the civil rights movement through books and imagination. He won later when the area he ran in was re-districted to include more whites, including many Jews.

In the spirit of genuine curiosity, I ask that you cite some of those.

Ha! I’d say that you were correct.
Sounds like the start of a joke.

The current belief that Bush is the worst president in history is propagated by the left-leaning (to put it mildly) media. Did everything go great? Of course not, but it never does.
Within 9 months of taking office, President Bush was faced with the single largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil in history. To say that his tenure has been defined by that would be an understatement.
There have been NO successful terrorist attacks on the United States since September 11, 2001. That’s over 7 years now. An amazing feat considering the levels of hostility of certain terrorist groups against the U.S. have certainly not diminished over that time.
If you are to look at this fact alone, you could consider his presidency successful. Could another president have done this? We don’t know, as there was no precedent, and hopefully, God willing, we never have to find out.
If you think it is such a travesty, perhaps you will change your thinking when we revert to Clinton era domestic security policies: the same policies that paved the way for 9/11.
I certainly hope that is not the case, but sometimes it is hard to do anything besides fear the worst.

Obama will protect us. He didn’t step forth from those Olympian Greek columns and smoke for nothing, did he?

That’s an excellent insight, RJ. What better way to milk the system than to keep moving the goalposts?

Understanding why someone who grew up through the Civil Rights movement and the racism of the 60’s and 70’s has a hostile view towards those in power during that time makes you “anti-White”? Really? And you DON’T think your perspective is narrow?
Wow.

That’s basically what Mike Huckabee said, to his credit. Wright said some stuff that is wrong, and probably comes from past bitterness. Comparing him to David Duke, or Hitler? Beyond stupid.

He’s got daddy issues. But so do Bush and McCain.

Hitler may have been an overboard comparison. I would like you to try and explain to me how David Duke isn’t a good comparison.

Thank you President Bush for doing such a SHITTY job the past 8 years that it literally pushed voters to the left. Once again it is you, and you alone who is to blame for Obama’s victory.
And since you did such a SHITTY job, I agree that the Oceanside Sewage plant should be renamed in your honor.
And don’t forget to wash your hands after shitting… like you washed your hands of our soldiers’ blood in Iraq.

I would like to see how any of the pansy liberals would have handled all the crap Bush had to deal with? Bill would have hid behind Hillary if he was president during 911.
Let’s be real people, very few presidents in history have had to deal with the shit Bush had to deal with. So take that into consideration when you are bashing him.
Back on topic of Bush: fuck him. He messed up the country and left his party in such ruins that they had to turn to a limp wristed Republicrat like McCain solely because he was supposedly distanced from Bush. He is the worst president of my life and a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
