Whether people have the nerve to admit it or not, this lady hits the nail on the head as to the real reason a lot of people don't like Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States of America.

As such, he is due the respect that the highest office of the land commands.

Spew rumors, falsehoods and outright lies about his policies, about his birth place, about his intentions. That's freedom of speech.
Attack his wife's clothing choices, his children's pet, his mother-in-law's room in the White House. He is a public figure, and this is America.

And by all means question his health care agenda, the stimulus spending and his increasing the number of troops in Afghanistan. That's government of the people, by the people.

But to have public figures in Kentucky, representing conservative views, use the word "creepy" to describe Obama's plan to speak to all the nation's schoolchildren today is nothing but embarrassing.

Their attitude dishonors the office of the president, not just Obama himself.

Several years ago, I interviewed a Liberian couple who were living in Lexington with their son and who were hoping to live out their golden years in a country that provided a sanctuary from the wars they had fled back home.

They told me that the difference between Liberia and the United States is that here, there is a peaceful transfer of power after an election. In Liberia, they said, the loser wouldn't relinquish power, choosing instead to start a war or kill his opponent in defiance of what the voters had wanted.

We are doing the very same thing with words in this country since Obama became president.

I was not a fan of George W. Bush's presidency. I didn't think he had a good grasp of what the ordinary citizen needed. He seemed to prefer to go along with the big oil companies, with big business and with policies that kept them happy.

I never approved of his push for war with Iraq and thought we should have stayed focused on finding Osama bin Laden.

Still, never once would I have characterized him as "creepy" because he wanted to talk with schoolchildren. He was the president. My kids needed to listen to what the commander in chief had to say.

It's respect for authority. It's respect for the president. It is respect for our upbringing.

For reasons that every black person knows and many white people are learning, this president is receiving 400 percent more death threats than then-President George W. Bush, according to the Secret Service.

It's not all about Obama's desire to bring equity and compassion into the health care reform debate, although some people couch it that way. President Harry Truman tried to get health care reform several times, but he failed. President Lyndon Johnson signed a socialist program called Medicare into law. Neither drew as much ire as Obama.

It's not his pro-choice stance on abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court has had numerous opportunities to overturn Roe vs. Wade. In 1992, the 20th anniversary of that law, the Supreme Court had eight members who were appointed by Republican presidents who were opposed to abortion. Those justices decided to let Roe vs. Wade stand. They are the ones who can change the abortion laws of this land, not a president. But they didn't. Did the number of death threats they received go up 400 percent?
If it is about the deficit that the Obama administration has dug out in this economy, then there should have been a similar outcry and similar death threats for Bush, who quietly used a bulldozer to get the hole started.

But it is not about that.

Obama has been a magnet for these unfounded fears, these innuendos, these lies because he is black.

He has not done anything that would justify the outrage we are seeing in factions across this nation. Nothing. He hasn't had time. He has been in office less than eight months.

What this is about is that there are too many people who are afraid of what a black man might do because they have no idea what a black man is all about. The fear is unfounded and insane, fueled by our inability or lack of desire to interact with folks who are different.

I hear he'll lead this country into socialism or Marxism, as if he has the power to do that all by himself. When did the Constitution change?

Brainwash our children into voting for health care? When did we give children the right to vote?

Get them to persuade their parents to vote for Obama's policies? When did our children become the decision-makers in our homes?

What has happened to critical thinking in this country? Why are we following along with the first Pied Piper who blows an unreasonable note?

President George H.W. Bush spoke with schoolchildren in 1991 and advocated his educational policies. I didn't see a single parent, black or white, conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican, pass out from fright.

So you tell me why this president is so different, why people carry guns to his rallies, why ministers call for him to die and go to ****. What God do they serve?

Obama is talking about staying in school and getting a good education, and I hope the kids watch and listen.

Typical Davis article, it's always an race issue with her.

I will say this, if or when Barack Hussein Obama ever respects the office of the President of the United States, I will have respect for him, but not before.

How is he disrespecting it?

[Old School]

How is he disrespecting it?

Well let's start with appointing over thirty czars who answer directly to Barry himself, also they don't have to be approved by anyone, this is just another way of bypassing the house and senate. One former czar (Van Jones) is a self proclaimed communist.

What about his tour of Europe when he apologized for the United States to every leader he met.

What about his refusal to have a national day of prayer at the White House, but host a dinner celebrating the Islamic holiday month of Ramadan at the White House.

What about this adminstration trying to ram bills down our throats without them having time to be read or debated, basically scaring everyone into believeing if they are not past now the country will collaspe.

[CatDawg]

No matter which side you fall it does amuse me that he is suppose to fix everything in 8 months and everything that has gone wrong during those 8 months are is fault. While in 2001 when 9/11 occurred 8 months into the Bush administration it was Clintons fault.

[lil dog]

Why does everyone want to make this a race issue ? I could care less if the President is black or white, some of my best friends over the years have been black !!! What I have a problem with is his politics, I think that people throw the race thing in when they cant justify the things that he is doing, and I know that a lot of people will not admit it but he has some very questionable people that he has put in positions of trust, such as Van Jones, and others, that report only to him, but yet they are making big decisions for this country and we dont know anything about them, that isn't a good thing !! So for all the people that think that its a race thing....for me it isn't, it is truly the about the politics with me, JMO !!!!

[nky]

He's liberal- I can't get over it.

[Poseidon]

I do not care if he is yellow, color does not matter. I get tired of people pulling out the race card when people disagree with a minority. I would tell the writer of the article to get over it as far as him being black\white\yellow\green. He is a public figure and he is not going through any more than Bush, Clinton, or any other President before him as far as people picking at him. I do not think he is doing a bad job, and I think that being President is hard on the person and their family, but they know what the job entails before pursuing that office. Race is just an excuse for not performing.

I have never agreed with everything you write, but I always respected what you had to say, but SURELY TO GOODNESS I never thought that you would actually ever quote and agree with anything that racist idiot Merlene Davis would have to say. My gosh, I'm just not believing this one?

And I would say that 99% of Americans feel that exact same way.

I take it you are not familiar with the writings of Merlene Davis?

This isn't new... I remember Nixon having an Energy czar.
I don't normally reference Wiki, but I'm not going to spend a couple of hours researchiong this. FDR apparently had the first czar back in 1941.
Dub-ya had more czars than the previous nine Presidents COMBINED.
He had 500% more than Clinton did. He had 1700% more than his daddy.
He had more than Obama has now.
Did you complain then?

What about his tour of Europe when he apologized for the United States to every leader he met.

Good. After Bush's antics, he needed to. What kind of "Super-power" are we if we still can't find 1 measley cave-dweller after 7 years and how many man-hours?

What about his refusal to have a national day of prayer at the White House, but host a dinner celebrating the Islamic holiday month of Ramadan at the White House.

1st - seperation of church & state. leading to

2nd - who would lead the prayer? The US doesn't have an official religion. Wonder how many we have? Let's give each religion 5 minutes of prayer time. So 12 per hour for 24 hours allows 288 of 'em. That'll cover'm all, right??? I'm for that... but who gets stuck with 2:35 a.m.?

3rd - and again.... This isn't new... Bush had dinners too. Did you complain about them? He held EIGHT of them, you know.
Or, more specifically, did you complain about the one he hosted TWO MONTHS after 9/11?

:worthy::Thumbs:

[Cardsftw2010]

Dishonors the office of the president? The things other politicians said about Bush were far beyond disgraceful. Wether you liked, disagreed with, or downright hated Former-President Bush, he was still president. When did 'a respect for the highest office' become important? Oh wait, when a democrat got into office.

[Youngerthandirt]

Everyone wants to blame race on this President...........I don't, I just don't like his liberal views and policies.........plus, if anyone was racist........this writer is the postchild. I honestly can't believe someone would quote this "person" and then try to call others racist.

[Poseidon]

No, who is she?

[Mr.Kimball]

No, who is she?

She has been a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader for probably the last 20 years or so..

I can honestly say that I have never read an article written by her that did not a have racist tone to it, and it's in every single one that she writes. If a white person wrote articles like she does, you would never hear the end of someone wanting the Herald-Leader shut down and the writer's head put on a chop block. In my opinion, she is a complete embarrassment to not only the Herald-Leader, but to the total black community.

VH, I always said that a person is never to old to learn, and today I learned something new. In all honesty I never new of any of the previous adminstrations having czars, I tried checking out a few site and according to these sites W had anywhere from 12 to 35 czars during his tenure as president. The fact that W had appointed these czars still doesn't change my opinion about them, IMO a president should not have the power to appoint whomever they want into these positions without some type of conformation.

Good. After Bush's antics, he needed to. What kind of "Super-power" are we if we still can't find 1 measley cave-dweller after 7 years and how many man-hours?

.....and just think Clinton could have saved us all this trouble if he had taken care of your cave-dweller when he had the chance before 9/11.

How many times has the U.S. been attacked since 9/11?........ZERO, seems like they did a pretty good job of protecting our butts now didn't they!

1st - seperation of church & state. leading to

What would be wrong with having some consistency, either let everyone have their day or not let anyone have their day.

2nd - who would lead the prayer? The US doesn't have an official religion. Wonder how many we have? Let's give each religion 5 minutes of prayer time. So 12 per hour for 24 hours allows 288 of 'em. That'll cover'm all, right??? I'm for that... but who gets stuck with 2:35 a.m.?

Bush also had a national day of prayer every year. It's not a matter of having dinners it's about having dinners for one group and not another.

THIS adminstration? Now THAT'S funny.

I'm glad you were able to laugh, so you don't think we are having these bills rammed down our throats. Let's look back at the last 8 months, first there was the 787 billion dollar stimulus package that had to be passed now or the contury would fall apart. Once it was approved it took Barry 5 days and a trip to Denver to sign the thing. Then there was the Ombious Bill, then we had the auto bailout remember it to had to be done quickly so GM and Chrysler would not go bankrupt, we all know how that turned out don't we. Now we have the cap and tax bill that has already cleared the house without anyone reading it and don't forget the 300 pages that were added at 3am on the day of the vote. Let's not forget healthcare remember Barry wanted it approved in July. The Sentors themselves don't even know what's in these bills, heck even Obama said he didn't know what was in the bill.
What other adminstration has ever tried to pass bills of this magintude in their first 8 months?

Whats wrong with apologizing for the mistakes of the idiots who came before you?

America is not infallible nor it is perfect. We make mistakes. We have to strive to make America a More Perfect Union. Just as our founding fathers said.

To believe otherwise is to become a slave to the state. Then its time to welcome in some good ole Nationalism. Nazi style!

I know how steel is made. My entire family works at the steel mill. You don't have to destroy mountains to build Chevys though.
