As far as the president goes. I think commenting and imposing his own views and opinions on a highly controversial court case that has already been settled is beneath the office of the president and achieved nothing constructive or helpful to the situation.

Boom.

What it did do was exacerbate the issue and further divide an already broken country. You'd vote again for a man like that? Frightening.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you fit the stereotype of the typical middle-aged, racially-biased white man. But, the first step in healing is knowing you have a problem. You cannot have true equality until you drop any racial biases or pre-conceptions..... Positive or negative, it doesn't matter. Accepting stereotypes and bias, yet voting for a mixed-race president doesn't make you enlightened, contrary to popular belief. Bias=ignorance, period.

Bias = reality. This isn't Disney World. And I don't see it as a problem at all.

Obviously this President is a different color than ones in the past so the public and the situation thats developed called for it. To say nothing under the ridiculous circumstances would have been irresponsible. I bet you would have criticized him even had he stayed stone quiet.

My country's not broken. Sorry to hear about yours.

My bank and brokerage accounts are at least 200% better under this guy. I'm more than happy to place that ballot again.

Seriously????

Seriously????

Well you know what?....maybe I'm wrong.....please enlighten me on how great life and society was before bias existed?.....I seem to have forgotten.

Thanks

Your country isn't broken? You're not paying enough attention.

Your country is giving money to the Muslim Brotherhood to help them overthrow their own government. The Muslim Brotherhood has ties to terrorist cells.
Your country was responsible for a botched gun "tracking" plan in which they lost the guns they were "tracking". Two people have been confirm killed by these lost guns.
Your country is split on a court case that shouldn't even have made news, and your president is further driving the wedge between us.
Your country is listening, watching and saving everything you do online, on your phone, in your car...and then prosecuting the one guy with the balls to say it's wrong out loud.
Your country is taking 30% of your paycheck before you see it to fund unconstitutional programs and give foreign aid to countries who harbor enemies.
Your country is downright refusing to cut this aid to pay off its own multi-trillion dollar debt (which has tripled since 2008).

Our country is great, but it is in a broken state. Just gotta open your eyes...

As they say, "If you're not pissed off, you're not paying attention"

Sorry [MENTION=96581]hikenbike[/MENTION], it's just not the world I want to live in or for my kids. And I hate to see it perpetuated.

You worry too much. Life is good. Smile. Life is too short to sweat this stuff.

I had an ultrasound in a "sensitive" spot last week. Thankfully all is well. Puts things in perspective right quick.

The "they" you speak of in your last line are malcontents who will always be malcontents.

Now, as Thai knows, I'm going to pickup my new Tag Heuer.

Later.

Facts wise there are a few issues with this statement.

I assume you are referring to Egypt. In Syria the Muslim Brotherhood are not major players.

So back to Egypt. About a year ago the people of Egypt had a fair and free election and elected the Muslim Brotherhood into power. They had around a 1/3 of the vote I believe and the highest % of the vote. 2nd was the salifist party (super hardliner sharia law Muslims) which means that the MB + the Salifist were overwhelmingly the power players in Egypt together making over 60% of the voting block. They both want Islamic Sharia Law to be the legal foundation for the country.

Ok so the MB was elected in a fair election. Now fast fwd to present: Egypt's army overthrows the MB and reinstitutes a seemingly secular government. The MB have been overthrown and are no longer in power. The US govt seems to back this move by refusing to call it a coup.

So at least with regards to Egypt the US govt is not doing what you stated at all.

I am a white mid-40's professional and conservative who is certainly racially biased who supports and voted for this President. I'd vote for and support him all over again.

WHITE GUILT. That is what you're suffering from. Look at ndcent...same boat as you.

BTW, is it a defense mechanism to always say that you're a conservative before admitting that you suffer from "Obamasexual"? This is not just you, hikenbike but also Seattle guy.

Obviously this President is a different color than ones in the past so the public and the situation thats developed called for it. To say nothing under the ridiculous circumstances would have been irresponsible. I bet you would have criticized him even had he stayed stone quiet.

Actually, he ALREADY said his piece when he said that Trayvon looks like his long lost son. Why add gasoline to the fire NOW and divide the country further?

My bank and brokerage accounts are at least 200% better under this guy. I'm more than happy to place that ballot again.

Yeah, i am doing well too...very well indeed! But, does that mean that I ignore the rest of the world/country?? That is pretty damn ignorant if you ask me! Why? Well, sooner rather than later, your good fortune will tank like everyone else. Cost of living will go up. Cost of everything will go up. Your 200% profit will shrink...as the dollar value goes down. By the way, 200% better may also mean that you were pitiful before Obama...all relative.

I am glad that your prostate exam is negative, but you fail to realize that you're being butt-fu*ked all this time by the administration...and you keep on smiling! Good for you. But. don't expect the rest of us to be as naive as you.

Now, as Thai knows, I'm going to pickup my new Tag Heuer.

Congrats on your new beautiful watch! I like it. Hope that you enjoy it in good health.

Thanks for your watch wisdom.

On the rest, I digress.

I want to further address this. This is why i think most Americans (liberals and African-American) are naive. I did not see this mention anywhere in the media.

The reason he said what he said yesterday is because he is tricking the dumb Americans. This was NOT spontaneous. We all know that Obama is a great actor. This was script. (We also know that Obama is not all that great when he has no script to memorize.)

If you notice, then you will see that his message was two part. The first part was the "emotional, from the heart" message about him and Trayvon being completely alike (thug, dope, kicked out of school, no real family). Did he stop here? NOPE.

He went on in the 2nd part to discuss how the law had to be upheld and that everything was done correctly. He then imply that there will be no federal investigation into Zimmerman.

If Obama had gone out and just said the 2nd part, then he would be hated on by liberals and blacks. (Remember, Obama is as black as Zimmerman is white!) He is not dumb. He is a professor of law i believe. He knows 100% that Zimmerman cannot be tried again because there is NOTHING there! Eric Holder knows this. Everyone with half a brain knows this. But, to trick everyone (including Trayvon's parents), he had to give that passionate 1st part to soften everyone.

If you notice, this worked beautifully! EVERYONE in the media mentions just the first part...and everyone was just talking about the first part. No one realized that Obama officially just close the door publicly on federal prosecution of Zimmerman!! He said it in plain english, yet no one discussed it.

You got to give it to Obama...he made a fool out of the media and liberals...and they smiled about it! Kinda like hikenbike smiled and payed the doctor to do that ultrasound up his ass!

 

[ddnww]

SeattleCyclist was referring to racism playing a role in the profiling by GZ. Trayvon could have been a white kid wearing a hoodie and GZ would have followed. There is no evidence to suggest any racism in THIS case.

my previous comments shows how he was profiled.

there is no evidence to show that if the kid was white that z would have followed him, so you cant make that assumption.

 

[ddnww]

why does everyone always talk smack about Obama, no president is perfect, and bush left us in a sh#thole. i see and read alot of propaganda on him that isnt true. bills that were not passed but people act like they were. He found and killed bin laden, has made it tougher to receive welfare, has made it easier for first time homebuyers and more.. nobody wants to point out any positives that he has done, should we have elected the guy whos own state didnt even want him to be president.

He did not find Osama the military did, the SEAL team executed the mission.

Pet peeve when some one takes credit for the efforts of others. Kind of like when someone says we won when referring to a professional sports team. How the hell did "we win" ? Unless you were on the field "we" didn't do a damn thing but sit on your butt in the stadium.

So an owner and a general manager has nothing to do with a team winning or losing?

I do love how Barry and Co are using this case as yet another push against guns and SYG laws.

What's naive is thinkng one man has the power to change it all.

 

[KCcarguy]

I don't like either one. We went from far-right to far-left on domestic issues, and both of them spend money like drunken sailors. I'd like to have a president that actually represents the average American (ie, somewhere in the middle). I think Clinton was pretty close.

What is even more naive is thinking that one man cannot make things worst!
