“Tell that to Bush and LBJ. Why the deal with Big Phama? Why are the details secret even still from Mr. Transparency president? Cheney and the oil cartel pulled that strategy before. The secret meetings to divide the oil fields of Iraq with American Corporations. Can’t let the public know about that. Change you can believe in? Why has he got 95% of what he wanted and there is no public option or single-payer or Medicare buy-in, but there is mandatory insurance with fines. ??You need to cut what you mentioned and look at facts. Look who he picked as advisors will tell you exactly what class he is representing. Where did he put the bulk of his recovery money not with the people and jobs.... with Wall Street and Banks due to the Friedman economists he employs as advisors? The very people who helped create the problems. President Obama is not removed from this process and since he got what he wanted wake up to who he represents. He can threaten to veto this bill and demand some form of single payer or public option). He can then warn those democrats that don't support the party platform the consequences in the 2010 elections. This is politics as usual not the”Change you can believe in” . I want my vote back.”

“HCR and I hate that term, Health Insurance Reform, is more accurate was hijacked and derailed by his own party not the opposition. He deferred to Congress on this and there were too many chiefs as the saying goes. The President had enormous political capital and failed to use it properly. Now a great deal of it has been lost. He can't seem to push any legislative agenda that his own party doesn't load up with pork and benefits to the special interests.”

“No POTUS in recent times has had such a majority in Congress. His own party does not respect him. Face it, he is a weak POTUS.”

“Beers are nice, but a little ARM-TWISTING goes much farther.”

“And the president is just an observer? Who's throwing crap around now?”

“How dare you suggest me walk a mile in another mans shoes. I'm not Asian, I'm obviously black, and I think as an African-American (living in the South) my shoes have seen their fair share of miles. You have a good point about "no consequence." I think as a society we have a lot of work to do. What he did was definitely in "bad taste" but when we let small things like that define us, we have problems. Focusing too much attention on this does, in my opinion, take the spotlight off the major issues that we need to focus on when it comes to race (i.e. equal treatment in the justice system ).”

“A lot. Johnny Cash would have never done this.”

“...then please don't date black women if all you seek is to blanket all of us with that ONE experience...

...don't act like you did black women a 'favor'...”

“I've had horrible experiences with white men-- professionally and romantically-- but I understand that they're not all the same. No one should judge you for their past experiences with white men, and you shouldn't judge all black women the same because you went on a date with a j3rk.

However, with your attitude, please do all black women a favor and avoid us like the plague :)”

“LOL...yea, so don't bother to ask another one...because as we all know, so goes one black woman, so go them all...right?”

“fanned”

“My hairs only stand up when people like RUSH make those type of comments. I know plenty of whites who are genuinely concerned for the plight of blacks out of a desire to see them excel, and out of a basic concern for humanity. People like Rush do these folks no justice at all.”

“There is a psychological term for what Rush is doing. I think it is transference. Republicans are masters at this. Rush is actually the one who is upset about Tiger's white mistresses, so he pretends that it is a black problem and not his own.”

“EXACTLY!!! I don't need a "pill-popping' conservative, white man who has problems with "black quarterbacks" and to tell me what my "frame of mind" is. I find that ridiculously offensive.”

“2, 3, 4,.......................”

“Elin is not going anywhere. She tamed the Tiger with a golf club. They're going to live happily ever after.”
