Raina H asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

What do you think of Obama comment in Jacksonville Fla. last week?

Obama words==He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black? He’s got a feisty wife’.” So, if voters are against Obama, it’s racist, and if voters think experience counts, it’s bigoted. And by golly if voters think Michelle is going to remain proud of her country, they had better vote for Barack Obama,,,,,So tell me that not a racist statement

Update:

Zap == that what you ppl alway say when someone got you by the tail.

Update 2:

StealthShadow== I did not write it,,copy & paste .

Update 3:

As a matter of fact it was Obama words

    Here we will once again see the double standard..its fine for Obama to talk about race..but when he was called out on it --it was "racist"--this man is going to RUIN the country if he gets in office--it will no longer be America....if his supporters are so unhappy with America..the why aren't they just leaving?

    But, but,but , you see its O.K. for him to make racist remarks. Its the ole double standard at work here. If you really look at the answers you get, you will see how well Obama is doing at uniting people. There has not been this much division in America since the Civil War. Woe be unto anyone who opposes him. He is going to play he race card just as hard as he can and see it he can;t completely divide this country. His motto should be "Divide and Conquer". since that is what he is trying to do. Too bad it won't work for him.

    Fact: look at this very forum and look at the comments. That's exactly what you see and which Obama described. He merely pointed out the truth that people are criticizing aspects of his persona that are irrelevant to whether he is qualified to be president, which people were doing long before Obama said what he said. There's no racism in that. It's just the truth.

    I'll remind you that racism is the belief that one race is superior to another and/or the dislike of someone based on ethnicity.

    I don't see where in Obama's statement there is any trace of racism. Some aspects (such as age/experience) are valid points you can make against Obama becoming president, but many are irrelevant.

    Because, like a prominent Republican whom he reviles, he is nearly incapable of admitting that he can make mistakes. Also, he has a tin ear when it comes to listening to people's concerns. Yet his supporters fail to realize that this man is all too human, like everyone else.

    Obama hasn't led in Florida since the primaries began. He's never even had a prayer in that state or the rest of the South.

    That's why he's arguing he can make up for it elsewhere even though state polls paint quite a different picture

    i dunno but u should work on your singular and plural words and your " 's ". i notice u mess them up a lot. obama is just full of crap is all. dont listen to his rhetoric, it is bull spit

    u said obama words. it should be obama's words with a 's. then at the end u say "tell me that not a racist statement" it should be tell me that's not a racist statement". just pointing it out, don't get so mad. u just make yourself seem less smart when u use improper grammar.

    That is about right. It is a clever way to play the race card.
