Don’t blame me. It says so right here.
Race Alone Doesn’t Explain Hatred Of Obama, But It’s Part Of The Mix
For the record, I don’t hate Obama any more than I hate LB’s intestinal parasites. The whole concept of ‘hating’ Barack Obama puts me in mind of one of my favorite Rand quotes:
Toohey: I’ve just told you how I’ve ruined your business and your life. We’re completely alone here. Why don’t you tell me plainly what you think about me?
Roark: But I don’t think about you.
There’s no special reason to read the NPR post, you already know what it says. I just wanted to get that quote in there. Like the Bible writers, Rand spent so little time being witty that when she got a good dig in it kinda stood out.
Just commenting to say that your last sentence was money. I’d have patted myself on the back all afternoon had I written it. 🙂
Someone asked me if I “hated” Obama because he is black. I told them that Obama was a liar, thief and murderer, so why would I need any other reason. But he’s not worth the time and effort to hate… I have better things to do.
Obummer is nauseating, but the one I truly can’t stand is that woman he calls his wife. Their skin color is truly irrelevant – I felt the same way about the Clintons.
Oh, and yes… your last line there was a classic. 🙂
I read this article as a comes the dawn moment for the Obamacrats who have finally realized he’s a turd version of Midas. They are in a conundrum, some of them, they have been calling everyone who did not outright adore him racists for close to 8 years now and can’t have such a despicable term turned upon them.
And yeah, I too find his wife to be more annoying than him, I think she’s an even bigger commie than he is, if you can imagine that. I just can’t wait until that harpy runs for office.
Let’s see…
He’s participated in turning an economic downturn into a decade-long recession.
He’s extra-judicially murderered American citizens.
He’s spoken down to me at every opportunity that he could find, telling me that I’m stupid, bitter, idiotic, angry, and flawed, all while explaining to me that my decision to work hard and become successful was not my doing, but the doing of his benevolent government that allowed me to be such.
He’s given untold billions of dollars of your and my money to bankers that were little more than crooks, and failed business models in order to prop up his political allies, against our will and all the while telling us to shut up and take our medicine.
He’s smuggled guns to Mexican gangsters, resulting in his becoming an accessory to the murder of an American LEO by his own laws, and told us that we were being childish for being upset about that.
He’s ignored attacks on American soil, and allowed American citizens and Marines to die on American soil, defending American soil, because actually doing something to help them would have hurt his re-election campaign.
He has become insanely wealthy during his tenure as President, and lectured me ad nauseum about how cruel and inhumane I am for not wanting to give away my hard earned wealth to take care of the indolent and stupid, all while his own family members starve in Africa and live in poverty on welfare as illegal immigrants in the US.
He has taken every opportunity that he can to whittle away at our Constitutional Rights, including those of security in our own possessions, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to trial and representation at trial, the 10th amendment in its entirety…. I will not go on, but I could…
But yeah, really, the only reason I dislike him is totes because he’s black, you guys. I’m racerist.
I know, I know.. BUT BUSH!!!!
Yeah, I didn’t really like him, either…
