Personally, I think that most of the hate on President Obama is a race issue.
From the get go people have criticized him.
Has he really done anything even close to destroying the United States as the Bush administration did?
We were led into two wars under the Bush administration based on lies. We knew they were lying during Bush's first term yet the man was re-elected for a second term. Seriously, who were the idiots there?
We gave them the support ( I didn't vote for Bush) even though we knew the wars were based on lies.
Now we have Obama still trying to clean up the mess and all I see is criticism from everybody. Yes, I agree with the fact that not everything is a positive under the Obama administration but any way that you look at it its an improvement over the Bush administration.
Everybody acts all surprised at the wikileaks documents. We have nobody to blame but us. I have been overseas. I've seen the casualties.
It's our fault as Americans that we dont know what's going on out there. We're too busy worrying about who will be the next couple to get kicked out of dancing with the stars and Lohan's next court date to even think about the war crimes being committed out there.
America needs to wake the hell up!!! If we had paid attention for the past ten years to these wars as much attention as we paid to the last season of the Sopranos and Lost then maybe we wouldnt need wikileaks to point all this basic sh.. up!!!!
Anyway, back to Obama. Give the man a break. I personally dont think that he has had enough time to fix the mess that we were In when he took office. I mean seriously, we only know about the illegal wars. Can you guys even imagine the things that we dont even know about?
From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's white race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites. I am a black and Muslim to the core of my inner soul."
From Dreams of My Father : "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's white race."
From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."
From Dreams of My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black Muslim masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own ghetto language. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , the peaceful Muslim faith that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubious,Mohammad and Mandela."
