Will you accept that he is at least doing a respectable job?

No convincing here. He is doing great!

Hell, it makes me want to criticize him just to piss people off.

"Would everyone just please accept that Obama is doing good?"

Given the responses, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the answer to your question is "No."

This is one of the worst threads on NSG that I've ever seen. Congratulations.

For my next thread, I'll post my opinion, and the simple statement that everyone just accept it for two or three half-line reasons.

The problem is that you're not inviting discussion, or really, even allowing for opinions other than your own. I'm not racist, nor am I a redneck, and I don't care for his policies as yet. The economy will get better, it always does, regardless of his influence (not to say he can't help/hurt the progress) so to say "it's getting better" is standard of any low point.

In the spirit of Lenny Bruce, I'm just gonna get this over with so that we can leave the issue of race behind, once and for all. Ready?

*deep breath*

There's a nigger in the White House.

Okay? Are we over it, collectively? Good. Can we now get on with the legitimate criticisms and at least PRETEND they're not about the man's ancestry? Please?

Well since Americans have said that presidential candidates speak too intelligently for them too understand. (Quoting my teacher on this). I guess electing a comedian is what we needed?

Love can never be portrayed the same way as a tree or the sea, or any other mystery.
It's the eyes
with which we see.
It's the sinner in the saint.
The light inside the paint.

We are running towards this wall
So with the bang in the hall
Make sure to get a taste of your own blood
When it becomes a flood
Upon thine face.

Gee, you did? I hadn't noticed. :roll:

:palm:

Did you not even read anything else? I asked that we get on to legitimate criticisms and forget about Obama's ancestry entirely. That means FUCK his race, FUCK his birth certificate, and FUCK anything else that distracts from the legitimate business of running the damned country. Do you get it now?

Forgive the invective, but to miss the point that badly means you're actually TRYING to miss it.

What country respects America more outside of NATO. America is stil up to the same stuff it always tries to pull. Obama is more sneaky though than Bush.

You mean he is retreating.

People should be proud their leaders take their jobs as a joke?

What is sad is his race can't be forgotten, he used it as the driving force behind his campaign, and it was something used to deter him among the populace at the same time. All the while, people like you and I at times, hoping for complete equality and actual thinking. But no...no, too much too ask for.
