Defending The President
This mess did not occur over night. Look back to Nixon and Reagen. This mess started when deregulation took the place of accountability. When Reagan dismanteled the unions, accountability went out of the window. Since then, big business and big government has run rampant. Reagan left office with a trillion dollar debt yet, he is considered the greatest president of the 20th century.
This country has been sinking in to the gutter every since. Nobody wanted to draw and quarter Reagan and the pardoned Nixon. When will the American public wake up and see this country for what it is. Some people are held accountability for things that have nothing to do with running the government. Who cares who they sleep with and who's under the desk taking care of business? Everybody wants to know when the crime rate got out of hand---it was when Nixon got his pardon. Go Check. if the President can break the law and get away with it, so can anybody else; that became the measuring stick. Where are the socilogist who study these things? Why are they so quiet?
As far as I can see, President Obama has done more to correct this mess in the short time he has been in office that some of the others in the whole time they were in office. H--- they were the ones to create this garbage land fill. All of this rhetoric about the President is to set the stage for a one term, admitted Black Man, as president. People of color, DO NOT PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF THE NAYSAYERS, THE HOLD DIGGERS AND THE PEOPLE LIKE BECK, NEWT, SARAH, AND THE LIKE. They don't like us either so why give them rocks to hit him with. Let them find their own rocks and get their little racist babies bring them some. If you can't help, don't hurt. The person who follows him will be the same ilk as Palin, Newt, Beck etc.
We are all tired, tired of the whole barrel of lies they have been building since the 70's. We need to get our heads out of the sand and wake up. This is not about parties, this is about who will do the best job for the people who need the help the most. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. Education in our schools is in the PUBLIC TOILET. I say that because I think most people clean their private toilets once in a while.
I am not saying "dont ask questions" Ask them, but give the man a chance. Look at what the job was when he took over. No depression was corrected over night. This financial mess began during Reagan but they called it RECESSION, and how many of those did we have, again, rewriting history.
Give the man a chance---Are the soldiers coming home? Is his tax Proposal to help the group who pays the highest taxes? You must remember, congress is made up of the same kind of people who are out here making all of this noise. There are six hundred to one. Who has to say YES? Go figure!
Thomasena, I have two tough, and potentially inflammatory questions. But they are not intended to be so. First, my own statement. I like that we have elected an African American as president. But at the same time, I dislike his policies and leadership. That's all I have to say about that. Now the questions.
1) How much of African Americans' support of President Obama is due to the fact he is an African American, and how much due to his policies and leadership?
2) Why is it the vast majority of African Americans are Democrats?
