I'm glad you think that. Great to hear.

Anyway, to be honest, I am surprised at the # of people who haven't heard it. Maybe it is just because I live in a southeastern state, but it just seems commonplace here.

It may be a regional thing. I think it depends on one's social circle, as well.
 
I've told this story on this forum before, but Ima gonna do it again...

About five years ago a white male local democrat politician was in my shop at the same time a well known black business owner democrat lady was. He chatted with her about Obama for a minute, giving him praise. As soon as the lady left, he looked at me and said "how we gonna get that nigger out of office". I was floored at not only the racism, but also the hypocrisy.

I've heard several people refer to Obama as "that half black president", and doing it a very distinct tone of disgust in their voice.

Every president has haters, but never in my lifetime have I seen this degree of hatred directed towards any president. I highly suspect that racism, is one of the main factors, but I think there are some other factors going on.

One is the Great Bush Recession. Bush left our economy in shambles, and republicans have an intense fear that Obama is going to leave office with a booming economy. They don't want that to happen. Some, like Rush, have openly said that they want our economy to fail - just to prove that Obama and/or liberal policies don't work. These radical right wing extremists would rather the US fail, than to admit that conservative rhetoric isn't perfect and that liberal rhetoric isn't all bad.

A successful Obama administration is an embarrassment to both racists, and those on the extreme right.

Wow... did he immediately know he misread the situation by your face?
 
No, never, Maybe by a black comedian.

No, I think this thread is searching for more than a few people calling Obama a nigger. There's more to it than that. Personally, I see racebait all over it.

I think you're making more out of it than you should.

I've heard of him referred to as the HNIC. Does that count?

If it does then what do I win?

In person, I have heard far more non-whites refer to him in such a derogatory fashion than whites.
 
Jokes general convetsation etc blacks whites whathaveyou.
For being such a terrible term its in broad use.
But I probably hear "f#*%in" obama more.

Mine are:

1) Jokes about killing him when he came here for the DNC
2) The n-word from friends and colleagues

No, my friends know I wouldn't appreciate it (actually, I don't know anyone offhand that would be ok with it).

How many people have been physically present when someone called the POTUS the n-word. Or, in other words, what I said in the OP.

If you're looking for a gut-busting resource hog thread this topic ain't gonna do the trick.
Now, replace nigguh with liuh and watch the DP lights dim.

Right. As we know, he did lie about being a radical Muslim, who is too big of a ***** to stand up to other countries, but is basically a dictator here in America.

What's with the "nugguh" and "liuh" nonsense?
 
Surprisingly no, especially in the area I live. Now I have heard him called just about everything else.

Not sure, but if you just look at the headlines of things he's said regarding Obama and the economy it's good for a laugh:

https://www.google.com/search?q=rush+limbaugh+wants+economy+to+crash+obama&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
"Doomed if Re-elected"
"End of Republican party if Re-elected"
"Economy will crash if Re-elected"
"Deliberately cause crash if Re-elected"
"Airliner crash is a good diversion for the media from Obama"
"Obama wants Americans to get Ebola"

LOL

So you don't have the link either. To be fair, you didn't make the claim.
