Just wondering if the historic event today would be as big a deal if it were Condaleeza Rice (R) or Colin Powell (R). Or is the hulla-ba-lu about the first black DEMOCRAT President? Just wondering
 
It seems that if there is an R next to their name, their not really black enough.
 
Here's the reason why.

The media is all cranked up because he's their boy.

I think Goldberg went a little overboard this time, but Bias was pretty good and pretty fair.

Best regards,

Why give him a week? The wise ones have already "correctly" assessed the Obama presidency as a failure.

Any further discussion is simply a waste of breath. They are so knowledgable. We should all be impressed.
 
I remember a few years ago talking politics with a friend and the issue of a black president came up. I said to him " mark my words Jack, we will see a black US president in our lifetime, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the first black president of the United States will be a Republican"! Man was I wrong, I'm glad I was only betting donuts, had I bet the house I'd be living under a bridge 'cause the Bimini top on my 210 Select ain't wide enough! I agree with the comments here, black republicans ain't black enough! I wish BO well, but once again I'll bet dollars to donuts, that for the first two years of his administration (if not more), he'll be taking credit for everything that goes right and blaming Bush for whatever goes wrong!
 
If Condoleeza were elected, there would be political cartoons of her as a slave girl aunt Jemima type or a parrot subservient on a white man's shoulders just as they did to her when she was the first black woman secretary of state. Do you remember any celebration during that confirmation process? Of course not - there wasn't any celebration. YES WE CAN!

If it was Powell, there's be some celebration there because he's just as big a lib as Obummer, only he actually has experience in the federal government, so they'd maybe go a bit easier on him because he's not a blank slate that you can write whatever you wish upon. But he's an R. YES WE CAN!

From Clarence Thomas, to Mrs. Rice, to Alan Keyes, any conservative that wasn't a dummycrat has been subject to the most vile racist attacks by the very party that claims to abhor racism and embrace openmindedness. YES WE CAN!

No, sorry - today's turnout would have been full of personal attacks had Barry an R next to hiis name Vs a D. Instead, we have the cannonization of a dangerously ignorant novice, and the band continues to play on even as the ship sinks further. They've made identity politics a successful model - not surprising in a country that rates Dancing with the Stars as it's number one TV show while the History Channel enjoys ever dwindling audinces. YES WE... I hope they don't.

There's no question the mainstream media (I'm getting so tired of that phrase, can we find another one, please?) are in thrall to Obama. Even today's Wall Street Journal has a special Commemorative Section on his inauguration. Did they do this for Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, or Bush 43? I imagine it's because the Journal's publisher, Dow Jones & Company, has been bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

But now it will come down to business as usual for Congress. Harry Reid has already issued notice to Obama that any proposed legislation will have to meet with Reid's approval to stand a chance of passage.
 
If the media would just get out of the 'Race" business and just get into the "people" business. I would bet that if the USA is still around 1,000 years from now, this crapola will still be being flung into the fan.

I am only waiting to hear the new media "Mantra" slant on why inner city people cannot make it better in life. Let's see as the media so often states there is now a Black POTUS, but watch that will not be good enough

So new disadvantage slogans will have to be in order. :huh:

Err ah...ahum "excuses" made.

LOL! Yes, any legislation that passes must meet Reid's strict criteria. They must screw the poor, screw the rich, screw the middle class and all without Vaseline.

Hell, at least we got the foreplay screwing in our primaries by having our candidate selected for us by libs in Iowa and NH...

At the rate we're going - Judges legislating from the bench, the majority of the people on the govt. dole controlling elections, islamofascism on the march and people too politically correct to scream 'STOP!'

America will be lucky to see another 100 years. It's really sickening that more people don't snap out of it.

I may give them a pass on that one, after all it was an historic event. Despite my differences with him on oh, just about everything, he is in fact the first black President (besides Billy boy) and there is no separating that fact from history. Other than that you will never NEVER NEVER hear me defend the medias' clear bias to all things not conservative, slightly left, left, radical left and secular progressive.

Fully agree it was historic - but do you really think the reaction would be the same if it was Clarance Thomas, Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell (all black) taking the oath? No way.

As I said before, the first black female Secretary of State was portrayed as a slave girl and a parrot on Bush's shoulder. Totally racist and disgusting.

I'd buy the 'historical' argument if they were just as excited about other black's accomplishments, but they are not - unless they have a D next to their name.
 
Am I correct in saying that he is not even 100% African American as the others mentioned are?
 
He's not African at all - he's Arab and White. African Arab, but you don't call Egyptians Africans.

I associate "Arab" as a middle Eastern ethnicity.

Kenya is a wee bit south for an Arab country, isn't it?
