“Why not worry about the good things you do instead of deciding how others should?

Just a thought.”

“Check the unemployment rates in black communities, all the unfair justice against blacks, that higher death rate for almost everything for blacks because of lack of quality health care, the mortgage crisis also hit blacks with specific predatory leading aimed at them. Obama he believes slamming blacks for all kinds of stuff like fathers leaving the homes etc. However he doesn't slam white folks who's divorce rate is over 50%. Mr. Obama believes in trickle down economics for blacks. It doesn't work. If you are going to preach at us help us. He doesn't have to call it "a helping the blacks plan" he can wrap it in a "urban or inner city" code words like whites do when they are talking about blacks but don't want to sound racist. Yet he does nothing.

Oh, the gay thing. He's done only one thing for gays and lesbians, DADT is still in effect, and so is DOMA. Gay partners still can't see their loved ones in hospitals, etc. etc. So being black and being a lesbian it isn't quite as funny as it is to you.

...and no, I don't smoke crack.”

“Whatever. That's not what all blacks do, stop stereotyping your own people.”

“I agree with your comments completely.

I'm black
I'm a woman
I'm left handed
I'm a lesbian
and I'm a progressive... who keeps telling myself give the man time while I can't stop myself from feeling very disappointed in many things that are happening with administration. He can lecture blacks on responsibility but will do nothing about jobs, unfair justice system, DADT, DOMA, escalation of the war, and this sorry health care plan.etc. I'm starting to believe he doesn't give a darn about us.”

“It may be added to....in 40 or 50 years. Look at Medicare.”

“"Obama is a disappointment!" I feel you on that.”

“"comprehensive health care legislation through congress?"

Comprehensive for whom, the insurance companies?”

“It's hard to argue with your comment.”

“It's not a bailout it's a payoff.”

“Basically.”

“Please explain.”

“I sure it doesn't escape you that you have the choice of owning or not owning a car so you aren't force into anything.”

“Why? Everything a kid does isn't about being a bad parent. The kid slipped out of the house during sleeping hours.”

“Absolutely.”

“Awesome post.”

“"If you want to sleep with more than one woman then don't *bleeping* get married."
My dad's advice to my brothers.

Tiger is free now and shouldn't get ever get married again, just bang all the chicks you want tiger and keep hitting that golf ball, dude.”

“She just told it like it happened, why are you getting all defensive? lol”

“"Throughout his career, his temper and poor decisions got him in trouble...."

Seriously, the guy just died can they wait a day or too before they start trashing him?”

“If he was President he would be wheeling and dealing and forgetting what he ran on, just like most of the others.”

“This is a little known or acknowledged contributor of unemployment for those in their 40's and up. Companies know they are more expensive and don't hire them. It's almost impossible to find a job in this age group right now.”

“Yeah Ok, but let me tell you this...if Dean became President he wouldn't be the same Dean. Don't fool yourself.”

“There is still the conference committee process, which means this isn't over yet. I agree with Dean that Dems aren't tough enough, because they simply are not. However I believe knocking off the bill is a bad move. sense the House Bill has a lot more of what the progressives want and we may still get a pretty good bill. I also understand Dr. Deans frustration with the stripping of the Senate bill.”

“Seriously?”

“"But we still have an opportunity to set things right during the conference committee process."

At this point it's our only hope.”

“I'll make the necessary calls! lol”
