Forgot to say...I had asked for clarification on most republicans being called racists...an my question was answered!....in kenya we have tribalism....during the last election...people killed each other cause of it...our home was invaded an nearly burnt down cause the self sworn president was regarded as being frm my tribe....even though he wasn't!...we have a long way to go....
�I�ve been away for a while and it looks like I returned just in time to chime in on a subject dear to my Heart!
In the last thirty years our government borrowed 6 Trillion Dollars (that�s BORROWED � not �sold Treasury Bills or printed money�, but BORROWED). In the first 8 months of Obama�s Administration he BORROWED 6 TRILLION DOLLARS! It is impossible to imagine that much money! The interest alone yearly is STAGGERING! China is getting RICH because of us!
Here�s another tid-bit. In the Nineties Obama worked for ACORN in Chicago as an attorney for them. His job was to brow beat�shame�coerce�to do whatever possible to convince banks to issue Sub Prime Loans (loans to people that could not afford them). Barney Frank and another Senator (name eludes me) threatened Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to do the same. Consequently, millions of loans were issued to families to families that had no money INVESTED IN THE LOAN and most likely were going to �fall behind� in paying�there by DEFAULTING! The Rest Is HISTORY�the beginning of the END!
I have never seen a President Ram Rod something down the American Peoples Throat that they clearly did not want! (National Health Insurance). Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like General George Patton! Obama has gone around begging forgiveness for our sins to the Bad Guys of this world�Kissing them on their lips instead of popping them in the Jaw!
Bullies know only one thing and that is Strength!
I wonder how much of his childhood growing up as a Muslim affects his thinking towards America?
Also�consider this �New Found Arab Spring� as a result of Iraq�s New Found Freedom! The neighboring countries see what Iraqis have (their FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY) and they want it too! This was something that the neighboring Rulers were afraid would happen if Democracy Succeeded in Iraq. This is why so much money and men have been �poured� into Iraq to combat ours and Iraq�s efforts.
Bush�s Administration may have made a fiasco of the first few years after Saddam�s Fall� but the result has been HISTORICAL!
No administration is perfect. But I have to say that of all the Administrations I have seen going back to John F. Kennedy�This One has been the WORST! And has done the most Damage which our children and their children�s children will be paying for!
Colin Powell was not chosen because he cannot �talk the talk�. It�s a shame because I believe that He would have been a much better choice to have been our First Black President.
I could go on for another 500 words but I feel I�ve said enough. Race has nothing to do with any of this other than my feelings about the First Black President should have been Powell.
Pray that we have better choices in the next election. Pray that Obama realizes that a Household that spends more than it earns will end up in DEFAULT and BANKRUPT! My Brothers and Sisters�we are so close�so close to becoming a Socialist Republic! I fear that is where we are being led.
I'm also sick of the race card being played in situations like this. I don't take issue with Obama because he isn't the same race as me. I am strongly against racism, in fact, due to the fact that I'm part hispanic and a lot of white people are racist against hispanics (not all, but quite a few are). I do take issue with Obama because of what he stands for and what he has done while in office.
I could care less what race our next president is, I just want someone who I can agree with on the important issues, i.e., the sanctity of marriage, economics, pro-life, etc. And right now, I'm concerned with our current choices for the Republican nomination. But thats for a different topic.
I agree STRONGLY with tulip, Laokim, Catty. 100%. And yes, i'm Mexican who did NOT vote for Obama. Surprise, Surprise. lol... Tulip, laokim, catty all three pretty much said what i've seen, and to think that people think that I didn't vote obama because of skin color or race, wow. Its very insulting and SO JUVENILE! ay yay yay. grow up. lol . Its not the skin color nor race, its obvious why I didn't vote for him, look at the leadership right now! I'm still looking for change.
obama being a "christian" and can support abortion... I have to ask the christians who voted for him KNOWING what he supported, why did you vote for him?
Cos in the end, it will be those who put him in power who will stand before God for voting for a leader who have murdered unborn babes, allowed homosexuality to be promoted even more and more... I don't care about the economy, I don't care about any of that,(If God can take care of the birds of the air are I not much better then they?) I care for the morals. Think it naive or stupid, but I know... I will not VOTE for a man to go into office who would smack/spit God in the face by allowing such evil action to take place. My vote counts, not only in this country but in the face of God. Thats just my thoughts on it.
i did make an error and vote for Obama once but, never again. However, the choice in the last election was not good. they did not offer a real choice. A couple of bumpkins or Obama.
Bush could have done something but did nothing for the economy. He allowed it to fall apart.
I disagree with how Obama is tring to fix the economy. But the economy in my area has improved a 100 fold. Jobs are coming back.
The bussiness going over seas is not a presidential issue.
Nkatty; still waiting for you to start a thread on Africa, what happened? Did the monkeys break into your tree house and steal your keyboard?
:ROFL:
Seriously, would love to hear more about Africa, my sister has been a missionary there in the bush for the last six months a lady even named her baby after her!
