The White House keeps calling tonights publicity stunt a “teachable moment”. What in the hell is a “teachable moment”? Who is going to learn from it? Will the President learn not to interject a ignorant comments into situations he knows nothing about? Will it teach a college professor that using the race card will not be given a free pass any longer in America? Will it teach a media that they cannot invade private peopels lives just so they can become part of the story?
Somehow I don’t think that is what the White House means by teachable. What the president and others want America to come away with this stunt he has arranged tonight is that racism is alive in America, that we need to examine who we are, but let’s be clear they are not talking about all America, they are talking to a certain segment of America, the only segemnt that people like Barak Obama and the professor believe are racist.
It is sad that the President of the United States, the man who is suppose to represent ALL of the people of the country, his recent actions has brought a bigger divide to the country and he really needs to think about what he has done, he ran on a campaign of change, was his change to bring racial division?

Barack Obama and Professor Gates really need to apologize for the racist remarks they have made that has flamed a situation that should not have gotten as far as it did and what they have done to private citizen,Lucia Whalen, a citizen who is head and shoulders above either of them. I can understand a college professor making ignorant and hateful statements but a president is suppose to be smart and above such actions. It is clear by his remarks that he did listen while sitting in the pews of Pastor Wright’s church and he believes what he heard.
Seeing Barack Obama in charge for the last 6 months we have seen a man who is overwhelmed and unable to handle the office he was elected to.
America has 3 plus years of this lack of leadership and it is going to be a difficult time for all Americans.

Bill Maher is a disgusting human being, ok that may be a stretch to call this slug a human. He says America is stupid, he is sort of right there, the people that watch this bozo, spend money for his shows , they are truly stupid. One of the funniest parts of his little hate speech is where he said the same stupid people who watch him recently elected a brilliant president, once again proving he is correct, there are stupid people here, but we are not stupid country. You really have to wonder how stupid people are that would think Maher is the least bit funny or insightful. As a actually funny comedian would say, “Here’s your sign.”

The Obama universal health bill is slowly approaching death. The likelihood of this disaster getting passed are smaller and smaller everyday.
Democratic Congressman John Conyers questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Can someone explain why people in this country tolerate this kind of arrogance? They are trying to shove a bill unto people that they have no idea about, don’t care to know and really don’t care what type of damage they bring to this country. What should be required is all members of Congress will be required to be covered by this plan, think THEN they would take an interest in the plan?
They cannot be allowed to pass such an important legislation without know what in the hell they are voting on. Anyone who votes YES on this bill if it ever gets that far admits they have no idea what is in the bill need to be removed from office. They are not doing the job of working for the American people.

Last night showed that Barack Obama is not capable of being a leader of the greatest country on earth. For 50 minutes he talked in circles saying nothing new and not offering any kind of real explanation to his health care plan. He took softball questions from a glassy eyed press corp that allowed him to skip over specifics.
But we have become accustomed to his press conferences where he uses a lot of work and says little to nothing during that time.
What really brought out his weakness was the statement,
“Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof he was in own home,”
Here is a man who said he did not know the facts, was not there and yet determined that the police acted STUPID, are you KIDDING? You are the president, you are suppose to represent the people of the United States, but what we saw last night was a man who still has the skills to only be a community organizer, a man who does not understand the job he was elected to and the responsibility of that job that the people elected him to.
A man who understands what being president means would have just answered, what was a asinine question to begin with to ask a president, with a simple, “that is a local issue and we should just see how it works out.” But not this guy, it gave him an opportunity to play the Democratic race issue that is so popular with the party who needs racial divide in order to hold power, it gave him an opportunity to once again point out a fault in America, it gave him an opportunity to disrespect the men and women who put their lives on line everyday.
It’s sad to see what this man has dome to America in such a short time, from his early “America Sucks Tour” that he had when elected to his lack of respect he shows to the American people, it just makes you wonder what we will be like when he is voted out of office in 2012.
