Obama to speak on birth certificate

Re: White House releases Obama birth certificate

What is happening here is that several posters who make up the right wing - perhaps even the radical right wing - are simply following the conservative marching orders to attempt to eliminate any discussion of race or racism in America. In doing this they charge the other side with the same sins theyare trying to pretend are not their own. They are taught that the best defense is a obnoxious offense.

I have seen it so many times on this board from the usual predicatable suspects that i could write the darn posts for them.

Some very wise poster hit it on the head: the right wing set this up so they could have it both ways and criticize Obama no matter what he did. For three years all we hear is the same tired old whine from the same tired old whiners ... "release the long form birth certificate". This despite a perfectly legal document which solves the matter. So now, because they have been such a major pain in the ass to the country, the White House does give them what they want.

So now what it is the whine: "Obama is Turmp's bitch".

I am tempted to say that anyone who follows that sort of hateful line has lost the last shred of their credibility and integrity. Sadly,in many cases, they had none to lose.

That's like when my sister was in South Chicago... that's where a lot of black people live and some parts are known for being rough, and the car in front of her suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. She said a bunch of guys jumped out of the car, the car drove off, and they all ran into a minimart.. they were wearing baggy pants, underwear hanging out, the stereotypical thug look, and she was worried they might be robbing the store... then she said she felt bad for thinking that. lol

Haha yeah. People of all races do that all the time - which is why I assume he said "our" instead of "their" prejudices. He was pointing out a reality. No big deal.

You all should be disgusted with yourselves!

If Trump were to run as an Independent, no doubt. I don't believe Trump can even run after a humiliating defeat like he was just handed.

No matter how you try to spin it, Trump put the birfer thing out there front and center -- and he just got smacked down.

Whether or not this will help or hurt him if he decides to run for the presidency remains to be seen. To say that he was defeated here is myopic. Trump won. The birthers won. Obama really blew it.

Not wasting time. sorry.

You said Obama called you a racist, then you said Obama accused all white people of sharing his grandmother's racism. But in none of his quotes did he accuse his grandmother, you or white people of racism. FAIL. You played the racism card and it got you nowhere. Too bad, so sad.

Except for the twice now that he has now, you're right, he has never shown proof of his eligibility.

almost 4 years ago bro. seriously, get over it.


Obama made a racist statement, and almost 4 years ago I made comments on it. now you want to hurl personal attacks at me. Sorry I insulted your president. :roll:
Click to expand...

I don't think we are attacking you... Talking about race is an sensitive topic, and you're blasting him because you think he looks racist. When people usually talk about race, it isn't uncommon to misunderstand what each other, or think something is racist and that's not the other person's intentions.

Other times people say racist stuff, and they don't understand it's racist.

I really don't think the president is racist... Do you honestly think he is racist? He was raised by his white mother, and he talks about her with love and respect. I think he honors her memory, and he hasn't created any racist policies.
 
HAHAHA. I'm more then amused that it took the Donald to force him to produce this. FINALLY. Damn now that's settled. End of issue. (Obama could have saved us all years of annoyance by doing this earlier).

He said, his grandmothers irrational fear of white people was typical for white people. Can't really get around that one now can we? :lol:

That is just so inappropriate. Especially today.
 
Perhaps somebody else said this, but is anybody really, legitimately suggesting that racism is a purely GOP/conservative/republican attribute?

Why hassle this president about his birth certificate, but no other president... :shrug:

Have to do something since the press will do nothing. Want to compare the press on gas prices Bush to Obama?

It's not settled - apparently some posters are here are ready to file criminal charges against him, although I'm still not sure what for.

no I don't think he's racist. and in full disclosure, if Redress wanted to be honest, he would admit I said that numerous times during the span of time he is harrassing me over.

Posts like these cheapen the real issues regarding racism in this country.

Obama wasn't laughing when Trump slammed down the gauntlet and forced Obama's hand. If Trump were a joke, Obama would be laughing... he's not. Trump trumped Obama and Axelrod, then to make sure they got the message, jabbed his fingers in Obama's eyes by taking credit and claiming it a proud moment.

On the way he lofted some good shots at the press for failing to do their jobs. All the antagonists on the left have their long knives out... they better watch they don't go tripping down the stairs and impaling themselves like Sr. Lawrence Olivier in Marathon Man.

I'm pretty surprised he's done this. Just shows that when Trump took hold of it, it became mainstream. If he was ever going to do it, he should have done it a long time ago. Indecisive. Knee-jerk. Not very leader-like, in my opinion. The strongest position would have been to do nothing. Personally? I think it harmed the office of the presidency.

IF you are saying what I think you are saying: Obama should have remained silent at this point, and making a statement now harms the presidency in that he is bowing to Trump or doing it in preparation of the election or seeking to distract from some other issue, or.......... AND that makes him appear weak.

Is that what you said? Then I agree Maggie

The only group of people who had the authority to question the President on this issue was the Congress of the United States. Obama should have never released that information -- unless he released it at the very beginning of the controversy...which is probably what he should have done. It was a bad decision to release it now. To say that those who think it was a bad decision have lost shreds of credibility and integrity is hyperbole to the max. (I love hyperbole, by the way.) The Office of the President of the United States is more important than the man. He blew it big time.
