I have a beef with black republicans, I use to be one of them but no more. Mr Walter E. Willians, a black man, syndicated columnist wrote an article blasting President Obama. I replied him in kind.
Your article does not deserve a feedback, but my comment here is personally directed at you, Mr Williams. First of all Rassmussen poll you quoted is a useless reference because of the bias inclination of the organization in favor of the conservatives. It is dubious political polling firm.
Next, given the crap he inherited from a disgruntled conservative administration and the anemic support from the republicans in congress, President Obama is doing incredibly well.
Politics and sports are two different issues. It's like comparing apples to oranges. In sports everyone in the team is working in concert to score against the opposing team. In politics, you have individual bloated egos to massage. Mr Obama in this case has hundreds asses to kiss within the Democratic party alone, notwithstanding the Republican party whose devious disposition was to see him fail and chose not support him. Instead took to media airwaves to distort with malice the good intentions of this man.
President Barack Obama will do just fine. he is in not running against time. Despite the desire of many of you to see him fail, he will not. Jimmy Carter's reference by you is bogus because he could have been re-elected had it not been for the Iranian hostage crisis that Ronald Reagan and his handlers prolonged to their advantage and rode the crisis to electoral victory. This is another discussion.
I use to be a republican, conservative, supported John McCain in 2000, listens to Rush and Hannity fairly on a regular basis. I'm done with fake conservatism that bothers on race baiting. Now I'm independent.
I have issues with the Democrats and Republicans alike, but the malicious, misguided, unreasonable and selective attacks on President Obama by the Republican party is beyond me. As a black man, I see where it is coming from and I will not keep quiet in the face of a political racial profiling of a fellow black man. The litany of attacks will take an entire page if I start addressing the racially motivated attacks on Obama by the conservatives. My response is to tune the silly noise off.
He couldn't be worse than President W. Bush who was elected twice. So don't give me Jimmy Carter's conservative talking point. Where were the conservatives and their freak tea partiers when W. Bush took us to two wars with borrowed funds from the Chinese? Where were they when he ran the country to the ground? Where was the outrage and the holier-than-thou attitude of my republican brethren when VP Dick Cheney said that deficits do not matter in response to Paul O' Neil showing concern for the deficits? Why was Paul O' Neil fired by a conservative administration and the tea party freaks kept quiet?
The manufactured anger against President Obama by Freedom Works and Dick Armey of Texas is not only unscrupulous but treasonable. I'm a reformed BLACK conservative, my loyalty to conservative causes was severely damaged during W. Bush administration and totally renounced in the face of stupid attacks on President Obama.
Don't join them, bro!
