And it's quite possible what you are failing to see is that possibly the reason WHY Bush was scrutinized so deeply possibly had a little tiny way with how he managed to win both elections.

That JUST might be it....I could be wrong.

How he managed to win both elections... by facing weak democratic challengers and getting more electoral votes than them? I fail to see the problem (and please don't go on some whacko tangent about Diebold.)

Especially the last election...I still fail to see how the Dems couldn't come up with a better candidate than Kerry; I think they could have had a much better chance with someone else.

The last time I checked it's a presidential inauguration and why do you always make stupid comments in regards to race and color? Seriously.

I don't disagree with you about the china, but why is race ALWAYS an issue with you? Grow up.

SWTXBelle 01-20-2009 01:53 PM

As of today, that china will be used by the Obamas. I am glad Michelle doesn't have to worry about having enough place settings for her larger dinner parties. :)

You know what....I won't bother to go there with you. You won't ruin this day.

Didn't Bush's motorcade get egged? I remember seeing something like that. I could be wrong, I'm just asking.

If I remember correctly, people threw eggs, bottles, and a bunch of other stuff after the 2000 election. Incredibly mature...

Race/color isn't an issue with me squirt....nor has it ever been with Barack Obama. It's a joke. Kind of like Barack the Magic Negro, Obama the Messiah, etc. etc. etc. If it offends you......don't read it. Please though, point me to all the posts that have led you to the conclusion that "race is always an issue" with me. Frankly, I don't know what you're talking about and I don't really care to look myself.

Just because I think he is a hack job politician who got elected because he told everyone exactly what they wanted to hear in no way means that I am not more than proud of my country for electing it's first African American president. It is a monumental day in our history...one that we should all be proud of. I will respect the office of the President, pray for him, and support him while in office.

Get off your high horse and go bug a tour guide. Maybe make fun of a fast food worker or something.......

I don't have to say anything. This thread has nothing to do with my feelings on a black man being elected President of the United States.

If someone wants to accuse me of taking issue with Barack Obama because of his race/color I will GLADLY defend myself. Me calling him Black Jesus, Messiah, etc. has nothing to do with him being an African American.

^ Clearly it doesn't! Especially since calling him Black Jesus is a bit redundant because Jesus is black to begin with.

You know, ever since your so called 'return' you been coming of as....

how shall I put it mildly....

sounding like a lil bitch.

and yeah....Black Jesus is going a lil' far there....Black Jesus is a stretch even by Black people's term...and using that in that context is not relating that to him being black how exactly? if you simply called him Jesus without the BLACK part...then your lil hissy fit of an argument would have some legs

I.A.S.K. Let me put another spin on AWP = Angry Whiny Person.

I'm with you right up until "...and support him while in office." I think, if we've learned anything from the discussions about the Bush presidency on this site, is that no one has to support the sitting President.

We can pray for the President, we can respect the office, but there's nothing saying that anyone has to support the President or all of his policies.

As someone who has been vocal in their non-support of the immediate past President, you should understand that as well as anyone.

Please go back and read what he said....HE said:

"...and support him while in office."

That was not my comment.

I agree with your point BTW.

The approval ratings proved your point also.

Whoops, jumped the gun there. As they say in court, "withdrawn."

DrPhil 01-20-2009 09:31 PM

TexasWSP, I get what you're trying to do with the joke. However, that type of joke is contextual. A white man making that joke out of the thin air isn't funny 95% of the time and I don't think you cracked the 5%.

You could've made the same point by saying he is some people's Messiah or Jesus, without saying "Black Jesus." Then you would've just offended fellow Christians. :)

And please believe that I still don't find the humor in "Barack the Magic Negro."

Dude I stole all those names from the highest ranked talk radio station in America.

Guess there aren't too many listeners here.

Still doesn't make it right or funny

Jokes like that leave to professionals...

like Rush, Don or Michael Richards

And follow this warning:

"Kid's just because you see it on TV, don't try it at home"




"Dude"

.....lol

I announced no sort of "return". My posting is scarce.

Me being a bitch? Really? Really????? I'm being honest and have no regret over anything I have said. I'm sorry that people are getting deeply offended by a few off-color names that I ripped off from FoxNewsRadio and used on an internet message board. You on the other hand....I'd be happy to pull up your pathetic melts in other threads where you continually acted like a butt hurt, fucking child because people chose to not share the same opinions that you have.


Take it easy sport. Probably will be a while.

Go ahead

Knock it out....feel free

But let me remind you when you make butt ass wrong statement like that, you set ALL of us back about 400 years.

Squirt.

And you did it just cuz you heard it on the radio....wow if that wasn't the lamest assed excuse I heard for making a racist statement, I don't know what is.

I would call you a dumb assed cracker, but I would be insulting Saltines.
