I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of the news and the media, people on sites...in here etc. talking bad about Obama. Every president is gone have their differences and things people may not like about them etc. but the main thing i want to say and i have heard alot of people say is CAN THE MAN DO ANY WORSE THAN GEORGE BUSH??????? The people that are doing the complaining are probably the ones that voted and had Bush in the office for 8 years! Get a grip. I voted for Obama, McCain was just too old and for some reason, he just seemed to much like Bush, sorry. And I really dont care for the smart responses or any racial ones because thats not necessary but the truth is the truth. If McCain would have got voted, we would be complaining about him so whatever. Its just sickening. And then the people who say that the media is running it in the ground about him being the first black president. THE MAN IS BI-RACIAL! If you cant get with the black half...love the white half. And yes, he is the first president 50% african american and can we not enjoy that???!!!! I mean im sorry but sometimes i feel that people think that blacks or any other minority are not supposed to have ANYTHING. Im proud of his accomplishments because when he won this presidency, my kids cried....11 and 7. And from that point on, I know now that any minority...whether it be black, mexican, chinese, japenese etc...When you look at your child and tell them that they can be president when they grow up.....its true. We made history with that one. I heard a man in the gas station downing him because the price of cigarettes went up .80! I nicely told him, dont blame him because if additional taxes are being added to things...blame the last one. He's the reason we in the mess we are in due to his own personal greed etc. Now someone has to come along and try to clean it up and unfortunately, these may be some things that will have to happen. Gee............

type bush in the search field on top and go back a few pages, you will see the SAME thing.
What I'm soooooooooooo tired of is the "give him a chance!" argument, a chance to do what, further trash the constitution like the last guy we just got rid of?
You know what else I'm tired of? the predictable "well Bush blah blah blah".....Well, BUSH doesn't live there any more, BUSH isn't president now.
BUSH was a constitutional fruck up, but it doesn't excuse Obama from doing the SAME things and continuing the SAME uncosntitutional practices and same obscene spending.
I'm also soooooooo tired of the "he won, get over it" mentality"
You know what else I'm tired of? People who are tired of people critisizing Obama. Get over it, he won and this is what the next 4 years will be, I will dog him, critisize him, write, complain, protest and scream until he decides to begin adhering to the limited job description in the constitution.

I have a challenge for you. If you truly believe in your candidates policies, then defend them on their own merrit, not by childishly pointing to another corrupt politician. If you truly back this man, if you truly believe you have a case and did not make a grossly negligent mistake in your vote, then, with out refering to Bush or pointing fingers to another party, defend the following 4 things on their own merrit :
1. H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, a bill that will kill small farms and farmers markets, severly crippling the ability of people to provide for themselves in difficult econmic times and introduce unprecidented federal control over our personal lives (yes he will sign it)
2. H. R. 1467 To extend certain provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the "anti terrorism" bill shoved down our throats by G.W. Bush: (yes he will sign it)
3. The apointment of a number of tax cheats to important positions, including the treasury
4. his continuation of the ilegal readiness of u.s. troops for civil policing
Thats only 4 things out of a hundred, it shouldn't be that hard, if you truly voted for him based on the merrits of his policy

OK. First let me say that I'm sssssooooooo tired of being accused of being racist because I didn't vote for the man! I too do not care whether he is black or green. I don't like his politics. (I wasn't thrilled with Bush either) I voted my heart. My heart would not allow me to vote for somebody who was pro abortion and didn't seem to support the two nephews I have fighting in Iraq right now.
That's why I didn't vote for him.
As for the media...you should have known that they are ALWAYS going to find something negative about whoever is in office. They didn't even give the poor man a chance before they started berating him about things. They did the same thing to Bush, to Clinton, to Bush and to Reagan///well you get the picture right?
It's because for some idiotic reason, the media seems to think that we the American people do not have the brains to think for ourselves, and therefore they must tell us how to think. Why they believe we want to hear everything negative and nothing positive is beyond me though.

No, im not saying that anyone is racist because they didnt vote for him. People vote how they like. As far as the racism thing goes, that was here long before him, me, my parents etc. This country was founded on that but thats not what i was saying. Im just sick of them just running things in the ground with it and being black myself, you will be amazed what is said around you for example..standing in line at the grocery store and white people are behind you looking at a magazine article etc and then make smart comments just because you are black and standing in front of them. And trust me, until you are in my shoes, you will not experience it, i kid you not. I have gotten the impression being places and even my kids that "They cant believe they let that n!gga in the office" of "What has the world come to when a black man is running the country"...just stupid stuff and it gives you the impression that "some" folks and i say "some" again, they just act like only a "certain" race is fit to run this country among other things. That pisses me off. And to be honest, I probably would have voted for Larry the Cable Guy if he was the only one running against Bush. Thats all I was saying.
As far as being Pro Abortion, Im just at the point now where i feel people have the right to make their own decisions about what they do with their life. I dont agree for people to just go lay up and get pregnant and be like oh well, let me go get rid of it. But i think if it was a rape or the pregnancy may cause danger to the mother, i think these are things that should be considered and people play religion into soooo many things when they are so many religions in the world and whose to say when we do die, that we all..no matter what or who we believe in, we dont all go to the same place. Its just all over rated. I have too much going on in my own life to even concern myself with all that. i just think once your grown...your grown.
And I agree with what you said how they did it to all the other presidents but they are really wearing him out and now its starting to really come out but you will not believe things i have heard being black and being around alot of white people and his name comes up. its like they want me to hear it because im standing there or maybe they feel i may feel threatened or something because i may be the only black in the store but that dont stop me. Done been to jail before for assault...dont mind going again. Especially for something i believe in. I do feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion but try to be tasteful about it and have a little tact. And maybe its just where im from, i live in a small town in South Carolina................go figure.
