This is indicia of my earlier complaint. The US abstaining on this resolution is an embarrassment. Mind you, the EU member states are significantly worse for sponsoring this drek.
Fair. I personally think that they’re both surfers but that Trump took parts of both to more degree than Obama
That’s kind of my point…Obama didn’t TRY to be inflammatory–he couldn’t help it because of his views and near complete lack of real world experience

I disagree. You give Obama too much credit; or is it too little? The man knows exactly what he’s doing.
Did you see that video from Kimmel(?) where he responds to Trump’s tweet with “at least I’ll go down as President” and drops his phone? A lot of truth is said in jest, and a lot of character (and lack thereof) is also shown as well.
Like I said, I was astounded by Trump reaching out to Romney; and I think he actually tried to make nice with the Clintons until (senile) Bill stoked the flames again. Instead of expecting shit to hit the fan etc., I have my eyes closed, my ears covered, and my fingers crossed.
edit to add: speaking to lack of character -I laughed my ass off along with everyone else, but my serious side was appalled at Obama yucking it up @ that event honoring Mandela, taking selfies and stuff; I wonder what Michelle Obama would’ve said about that if that had been Trump? I think I can guess by her body language and the frown on her face in all those photos.
No, I’m right in exactly the way I intended. The running gag from the left has been to accuse who ever disagrees with progressive politics of being what ever vile epithet they choose without an iota of proof. So, just like you, I grab a couple of tidbits from the web and call Obama a demagogue.
When you compare either to an actual historical demagogue like Hitler (no, not invoking Godwins law) it’s easy to see that neither of them can even hold a match to his evil, maniacal, ass.
But hey, if you want to continue to mis-characterize, go right ahead. We can use BLM and the 99%'ers as examples of people he demagogued to- that were whipped into a fury and spurred into action by a president that I had already clearly stated I do not believe to be an actual demagogue.

OK. (Insert ‘shrugging’ emoji here.)

Being a good orator is a fine thing. But, of course, more emphasis should be placed on what a President does more than what he “says”. Obama gave some very good speeches. But, when it came to governing he acted more like a detached Professor than a US President. And while the mainstream liberal media will never say it, we are now in the biggest mess that we have been in …in decades both abroad and at home largely thanks to Barack (I am not a Muslim but I used to be) Obama.
Good riddance!

The actual quote:
“You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. And when you think about why, in the African American community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it’s important to recognize that the African American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away.”
I think the major difference here is cultural. As a kid I was told not to be caught in some nearby towns after it gets dark because we weren’t welcome there…and I was born in 1991. We grew up in the suburbs where I had just as many White friends as I did African American…but 10-15 minutes North was a different world. There is a different reality amongst vastly different perceptions.
When he says his son could’ve been Trayvon Martin, most, if not all African Americans could identify with that statement because of what I previously mentioned, and strikingly similarity of his death to that of Emmett Till in 1955. I don’t think he intended it to be inflammatory, more so that a large amount of White Americans don’t understand his perspective, can’t relate to it, or may not want to.

Maybe, but then again it is possible that he is as sick of the left crying as much as we are. We could have floated an armada on the tears shed when Hillary lost.
Foolishly many looked forward to the Alec Baldwins Rosie O’Donnell’s of the world leaving the country. I had some “hope” but somehow knew that they would “change” their minds

He absolutely intended to be inflammatory. All one need do is look where he took it from there. How many anti cop statements? How many times was he wrong? How many times did he admit it? How many cops have been literally assassinated because of his intended comments?
He is a rabble rouser who dislikes Cops…especially white ones. And he go the exact result that he was after.
Party at Zeb’s!!

Thank You,

I probably won’t be too active here for a couple of days, but thanks for engaging. That was a good scrap!

Open bar, buffet, live music. I am sparing no expense!
Many things in my life make me happy, family, business success, certainly good health and breaking personal bests in the gym (which I still do). As for political events I cannot think of a happier time unless I harken back to Ronald Reagan beating Jimmy Carter. And I am going to celebrate probably all night long. Unlike the Reagan election I am not as happy about who won rather than who lost AND who is LEAVING OFFICE PERMANENTLY!
I should’ve been more specific sorry. These ones.
Yeah…I don’t have the answers off the top of my head I’d have to google them. But it all started with the Professor in CT. who was caught breaking into his own house. Police were notified and he was grabbed. They didn’t know he owned the house. But of course he was black and the President said “The cops acted stupidly.” Then the Michael (the thug) Brown incident, again Obama lipped off and was wrong. The Baltimore riots and there were more.
Whenever he could he’d land on the side of the thugs against the Police. And accuse police of being after the black man.
It’s a horrible thing for the President to claim.
BUT>>>>>>HE’S GONE IN 28 DAYS!
Sorry I can’t get that out of my mind.
