Why exactly are MSNBC and the rest of the state-controlled media liplocked on Obastard's ass cheeks if not because of his race? Why was he elected if not because of his race? Why is criticism of him utterly prohibited if not because of his race? Why do you shucking fitheads of the SCM accuse of racism anyone who isn't groveling at the feet of the Magic Lawn Jockey?

If you've got legitimate criticisms of Obama, by all means bring them up.
Never mind. You're probably too dumb to understand real politics, even if you ever got over that fact that a black man is currently occupying the White House.
EDIT: Anyway, cited criticism aside, I'm glad Obama took the presidential race rather than McCain. You know why? Two words: President Palin. (shudder)
Because from day one, Obama's been unjustly pilloried more than any president in recent memory, as well as having his birth status repeatedly challenged, despite the total lack of evidence. It therefore seems a fair assumption that racial motives are coming into play in a big way. And "lawn jockey"? Now, why would people think you're being racist?
Obama is president of the United States.
"Doctor Doom" is pathetic, ignorant, frustrated loser.
No amount of bile on his part will change that.
Is this the best you got? Lame insults and whining about news? If you want to make good critique of somebody, put some effort to it.
@Percy Q. Shunn: He didn't prevent any kind of depression, he just delayed it. He didn't topple Gaddafi or kill Osama. The former was done by disgruntled Libyans themselves with the French and British doing most of the bombing and the latter was eliminated by Commandos who actually had decent intelligence.
Why do you shucking fitheads of the SCM accuse of racism anyone who isn't groveling at the feet of the Magic Lawn Jockey?
Why, I do believe you've answered your own question!
Why was he elected if not because of his race?
Um, dude, there were only two choices. There have been Democrat Presidents before, y'know. And after 2 terms of GWB, just about anybody on the Democrat ticket was going to win.
Why exactly are MSNBC and the rest of the state-controlled media liplocked on Obastard's ass cheeks if not because of his race?
try this on for size: the usa is a world superpower, so obama's a really powerful guy. with american politics polarized between reps and dems, few choices exist to keep up with the demand of what the president does.
sure obama's black. so what? bush is texan and i could sling the same kind of argument you did, cos he had fairly similar coverage...
"It's racist for black people to vote for Obama because he's black, but it's not racist of us to vote against him for the same reason."
and
"I don't know why people are calling us racist just because we don't love that damn darkie nigger."

A "Lawn Jockey" is a stupid lawn ornament depicting a stereotypically designed black man in a Jockey uniform, holding a lantern.
Some like cheesy plastic flamingos, some like gnomes, some like alcoves with Mother Mary, some like those pillars with those shiny pretty mirror balls....and some like those goofy-looking black Jockeys.
Why was he elected if not because of his race?
Because the other choice (who I freely admit I voted for) was a geriatric senator coupled with a nut-bag govenor. Too weak to be electable on their own and even worse when brought together on the ticket.
It was no surprise to me that Obama won.
Shucks, there's a black man in the white house, and he ain't fixing the plumbing!
And look at clever you with that clever nickname. You, as a paragon of wit, deserve a prize.
@aa
Ayup. Gonna have to agree with you on this one. Obama's not have done much outside of Healthcare, averting economic catastrophe(barely), ending a war, starting a war, ending said war, and killing Bin Laden. Almost EVERYTHING ELSE is the same as it's been under Bush.
To be fair, though, he'd have to be fucking MAGICAL to be able to squeeze some barely functioning legislation, much less any reform AT ALL out of this fucking legislature. They've left him high and dry, and us along with him.
Assclowns.
I actually agreed with him up until the "lawn jockey" part. Race was a big factor in why Obama was elected. I am a black woman and I know many in the black community who were swept up in the excitement of the historic accomplishment of electing a black man, but did not pause to reflect on the deeper intricacies of what Obama stood for. Obama has had a negative impact on the black community. Unemployment among African-Americans is at an all time high.
To me, Obama does not represent black America. When my father was fighting for his right to live the American dream in the 50s and 60s, Obama was riding an elephant around the Indonesian countryside. My ancestors were slaves in the American south; Obama's were Islamic shahs or tribal chieftains. Just because his skin color is the same as ours doesn't mean that he relates to the African-American experience in any way.
Here's hoping Herman Cain will be our next president. To me, he will truly be our first black president, as well as being a man I can be proud to call our country's leader.
They DO use Herman Cain's race against him. The liberal media can't deal with the fact that he's a black conservative. They want to put blacks on a political plantation owned by the Democrats. But we are not taking it anymore. A black outpouring to support Herman will be the biggest event in our history since the underground railroad, and you can bet on it. We're taking our culture and values back!
Look, its simple. The left or right leaning media respond to politics, not race. If Obama were Republican, both MSNBC and Fox would treat him like they treat other Republicans.
@His4Life
Any respect for you I might have had left vanished at "Obama isn't a real black". What the fuck, lady?! Okay, so your ancestors were slaves and Obama's were Kenyan leaders and white Americans. That somehow disqualifies him from being black!?? He lived for a short while in Indonesia, sure, but he's lived in America almost all his life. I'm white, and thankfully I share no blood with the out-and-out racists of the '60s and '70s, but I can tell you with confidence that they would not give a shit if kid Obama was the son of slaves or the fucking Prince of Mali.
Seriously, do you think that would give them pause in their bigotry? Do you expect them to say, "Hm. Here's the illegitimate mullato offspring of vile miscegenation between a n***** and a white woman, who's raised by his single poor mother, who has a Moslem-sounding name, and lived abroad in places I don't understand. Time to put on the sheets and burn us some crosses, boys! OH, WAIT!! He says his black lineage is descended from Imams and tribal leaders in Africa, not slaves here in America! Well, I guess we should treat him with deference and respect! In fact, we should treat him like one of the Good 'Ol Boys! Hey, kid! Wanna join the Country Club?" Yeah, I think not.
@His4Life (continued)
As for Obama "Having a negative impact on the Black community," uh, WHAT!? You're blaming OBAMA for high unemployment in the black community? What fresh hell is this? I shouldn't have to be the one to explain to you that blacks have disproportionately high unemployment because they are disproportionately poor because the rich in this country make it nigh on fucking impossible to break the poverty cycle that's been in place since Segregation, and particularly in the depths of a recession that THEY caused. Not without help from the Republicans, too, mind. Where exactly does Obama enter that equation? Furthermore, what could he be doing to help that he hasn't tried already(and been fillibustered by Republicans in Congress)? Helping the poor is the absolute best way to help blacks, and I'm not talking about fucking Welfare. I'm talking about giving ALL the poor, not just blacks, the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty. And that's what Obama's been trying, and failing, to do, thanks to a Congress that's been stabbing the country in the back.
And FUCK YOU for saying it's the DEMOCRATS that are the racists towards Herman Cain. They've done more for civil rights and minorities than the Republicans have ever done. They're the party that represents the interests of minorities, Republicans represent themselves, the predominantly white, moneyed elite. And for all the Republican's whining about Democrats playing the Race card, when Herman Cain's past was brought to light, it was the REPUBLICANS that IMMEDIATELY brought up his race.
That said, for the love of your God, PLEASE nominate Herman Cain. I want to see Obama win a second term by a landslide.
You know, I used to know someone who had two lawn jockeys, one black, one white. In retrospect, that's... curious.
Ok, critisise Romney or MacCaine or George Bush for that matter, without calling them white trash and you'll have a point. In the meanwhile, you uncovered yourself with the last sentence.
Confused?
