Our president is a showman. He is an excellent campaigner and loves the limelight. He can give a rousing teleprompter speech like few can. His trip to Europe has accomplished the ‘photo-ops’ the White House hoped for, but even with 12 teleprompters in tow, it still broke down at the town hall.

And if I'm correct, isn't this the one where he slammed the guy who asked him why he wasn't outraged sooner? Not scripted.
Look, almost half the country thinks the President is an empty suit. I get that.
I don't. | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to Kid Lester For This Useful Post: | | Re: A Black Woman's View ~ No He Can't

actually READ the teleprompter?

They're qualified to give that information in a way that begs people to pay attention.
Anne Wortham, from what I understand, is a Sociologist. Therfore, I respect her right to speak about things that impact society in a philosophical way. Her blackness, or my lack of it, should in no way be a mitigating factor in the popularity of her opinion.
What's the difference between the perception that white liberals embracing Obama because of their sense of historical guilt, and white conservatives embracing this drivel for many of the same reasons?

| | After listening to the Howard Stern clip I really think there should be some sort of test to determine your eligibility to vote. How the F*&% can someone not be aware of something as simple as the running mates? Don't take this personal. I know I'm amoung some pretty bright people on this board but I'd love to see the average IQ of the people voting for Obama versus the ones who voted for McCain. Hell, I already know I'm one of the dim ones.  | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Curly For This Useful Post: | | Re: A Black Woman's View ~ No He Can't

been spit, snot has been blown, ribs have been shaken... all the obligatory
euphemisms for laughter have been achieved! Well Curly, this is a valid question. Being a numbers guy, statistically
speaking, there are many more whites in America than blacks. You have
to remember all the trailer park whites, back woods whites, etc. that
would certainly bring the IQ curve down a bit. Plus, usually when they
interview blacks on TV, for some reason they decide to speak to Tyrone
Biggums from Harlem (at least on Stern they do), not Michael Steele, head
of the GOP, who surely has a high IQ, although he didn't vote Obama (or
at least is not admitting it). Plus all those whites who cling to their guns
and religion, although full of common sense, might not fair so well on an
IQ test. This bears further research, and sounds like a dream weekend
for Joe Walther.
But back to this women who is the original topic of this thread. I would
say to her, enough with the black vs. white thing. Some people are pissed
that some voters chose Obama because he is black. I say bullshit. People
are pissed because voters chose Obama because he is Hawaiian. Sure, we
love Hawaii for it's weather and beauty, but come on. The President is
from Hawaii?? This is the equivalent of an expansion team winning the
championship in sports. All the purists and traditionalists freak the hell out.
See lady? It has nothing to do with race... stick that in your sociologist's
pipe and smoke it!!  | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to Bada Bing For This Useful Post: | | Re: A Black Woman's View ~ No He Can't
