I Had a Disturbing Thought…

Tool. Doesn’t surprise me.

I don’t understand all the people crying like they’ve seen Elvis, The Beatles or Jesus. He’s a fucking politician. I also hate those that say your racist for not thinking he’s the best thing since God created light. Everyone is so jazzed that he’s black. So what. If he was qualified and had a clue, I wouldn’t care if he was black.  Seriously people are crying at this “momentous, historic occasion” simply because of the shade of his skin and that’s it. That’s sad. He has much less of an idea what it’s like to truly be black in America. He’s half white. He’s not descended from slaves, didn’t grow up being held back because of his skin color or what part of town he came from, he didn’t go to an all black college, he’s probably never been “profiled” in his life. He grew up surfing in liberal, multi-cultural Hawaii, raised by white folks and attended liberal ivy league university. He worked in liberal Chicago as a “community organizer” which is what white kids with racial guilt usually do after college and immediately got himself caught up in the Chicago political machine. Where did he get to know what it was like for other average African Americans? Why is it so great that he’s black? Why does that make him qualified or not qualified? Why does that make him “the change we have been waiting for”?

I just don’t undertand the hype. Yet when I, as a white middle class woman voice this outloud, that makes me racist. Any remarks made about a difference in political opinion means you’re racist, unless you happen to also be black? This is going to be a long four years.

Who the fuck is Adam Levine?

Would you trust Obama with your car….I think not. W, you bet, he would bring it back tuned up, full of gas and washed (supreme not economy).

Minor number mixup in the post, milady…it’s 14 inaugurations in 56 years, not t’other way ‘round.

As Ace would say, “loose shit”, but a very minor example of same.
 

Yeah, I was surprised at how short a time I was able to refrain from poking fun at the Public Fister too.

I hear ya Jen, but I think that your military friends would disagree with you.  To leave now would put at risk all of those things that they fought so hard for.. surely you must recognize that?  Obama has made enough steps in the right direction in terms of keeping Gates and toning down his rhetoric on Iraq, that I would be willing to gamble that he will most likely defer to the Generals and then turn Iraq into some story of success that only he could bring.  That is far more likely says my cynical side, which is almost never proven wrong when it comes to Libs.   So in that vein of thought, your friends are probably even better off during this most important time of getting stability in Iraq.  Obama my be unpredictable, but you can always predict a democrat’s lust for recognition and accolades (however, unworthy they are of them).
