Why is Obama Black? - Page 8

Here's a link to a very interesting Time photo essay on Obama's family. Takes a while to load, but I found it worth it.

Ah, you saw it.

I'd equate emma's post to that of the cellar. you have a normal post with an opinion (clean water) and then you add emma's post (mud).

Trilby · 12-02-2010, 07:53 AM

why hate on emma? Emma is simply you and your ilk, drawn out to its logical conclusion.

Don't shoot the messenger!

I don't equate the OP with clean water. There are a few bacteria in there: who really cares what "color" Obama is? If we're boiling it down, that is. Pun intended.

lol well put. i personally don't care what color our president is. what i care about is can he put a leash on the oil companies gas prices? oh and while we're at it lets let off on the fed and state taxes on gas too.

The problem with Emma's posts not being visible, is that it now looks like I dug up a two year old thread in order to call Cloud a racist bitch for no apparent reason.

lol.

Seriously. Who can afford to commute? It's ridiculous, and I bet there are folks who clear very little after driving to the the only job they are able to find. It's a bunch of hooey and it pisses me off: not just for me, but for the struggling poor who are just trying to work.

Recently, a supremely ignorant Minister - Iain Duncan Smith - commented on the fact that although there were no jobs in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales) there were jobs an hour away in Cardiff.
Thus speaks a man who has never had to endure a daily two hour commute on public transport for minimum wage.

I'm all for getting people back into work - it's such a boost to self esteem and relieves the economy and all that. But Cardiff itself has 9% unemployment. Even apart from the fact that no employer of sound mind would trust a low-level employee who lived an hour away and depended on public transport, when they have plenty of local applicants. Even apart from the fact that during any period of bad weather, said employee would be sacked for non-attendance, and even in periods of good weather would probably be sacked for poor time keeping because you simply cannot trust bus services...

MPs who live closer to Parliament than Methyr is to Cardiff get SECOND HOME ALLOWANCE AND TRAVEL EXPENSES. Try paying your own travel expenses when you're a waitress in Cardiff. Try getting a bus when your shift finishes at 00.00. Try waiting on an empty street for a bus full of drunks. [Yes, personal experience - in London not Cardiff, when working in the West End]
And above all, try raising a family when you have to leave home well over an hour before your shift starts and get home well over an hour after it finishes. Yes, people do it because needs must, but given that the Tories are supposed to be the party of "family values" I really can't see how they could promote such a strategy.

I am pro-work.
My Mum worked any number of crappy jobs to bring money in.
I, myself, have had three jobs at a time, and as soon as I am employed (still waiting on that damn CRB) I will try to find a second job.
I do not support the idea of people living their whole lives on benefits.
But I do think ignorant public school boys raised by families with money and never having had to struggle to pay bills should get some proper education before shooting their mouths off. And I think they should look at all the policies they are promoting (that of mothers raising children and the importance of the extended family for example) before coming up with arrangements that they would find intolerant in their own lives.

Fire away.

Obama isn't black. He's green. I saw it on CNN this morning.

One drop rule in his mind. He will never acknowledge his white roots other than a passing comment in a speech to win votes from the middle class. He is a study of Alinsky to the tee.

DENVER -- Brace yourself for higher gas prices.

The former president of Shell Oil announced Tuesday that gas prices are expected to rise to above five dollars a gallon by the year 2012. The reason is that the price of oil is expected to double by that time.

Oil industry analysts say prices have been rising nationwide for weeks and are already at more than $3 per gallon in many cities.

AAA reports that right now, the average gallon of gas in the metro area is at $2.75. Last week it was $2.69, and a year ago a gallon was $2.37.

The oil price information agency estimates that drivers will spend $305 dollars on gas this month. Prices are up nearly 14% from last year.
