Playing the race card is nothing more than a way to avoid responsibility.
I’ve got a great idea that will benefit everyone. It’s very simple. Stop playing the race card! It’s demeaning to everyone involved.
During the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, some liberals were telling us that people who were planning to vote for Republican John McCain or Republican Mitt Romney over Democrat Barack Obama were racists. Ordinarily, I would consider such a comment so mind-numbingly stupid that I wouldn’t waste time commenting on it. But those comments have continued well after the elections, so they should be addressed.
When I would encounter white liberals who expressed that ridiculous opinion, I would ask them a question that went something like this: “In 2016, if Condoleezza Rice were the Republican candidate for president and Hillary Clinton were the Democrat candidate for president, and you voted for Clinton, would that make you a racist? And while we’re at it, if Rice were running against a male Democrat for president, and you voted for the Democrat, would that make you both a racist and a woman hater?”
Needless to say, I never received good answers to those questions. When liberals have nothing else to fall back on, they play the race card. Now, even our president who should know better is playing the race card to justify his dismal approval ratings.
Obama recently told the New Yorker magazine, “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president.”
Yeah, that’s it. Their disappointment in you couldn’t possibly be because of the unending scandals that have occurred under your watch. They couldn’t possibly be upset with you because of the horrible healthcare legislation that you’ve shoved down their throats. They couldn’t possibly dislike you because you repeatedly ignore Congress to push your unwanted agenda on U.S. citizens. No, it must be because of your race.
Do you believe that our “Christian” President, Barack Obama made a legitimate point in that interview, or was he just fishing for an excuse to explain away his poor performance? Hope to hear from you about this.
What is it that Boehner and McConnell have been threatening and doing and taking credit for during most of Obama’s term in office? Oh yeah. “We’ll make it a failed presidency.” And why, do you think, that has been their only goal and accomplishment?
God Bless OBama.
If Obama is so run amok, why doesn’t Congress stop him? They have the power to override any Executive Order. They have the power to impeach him. Why don’t they?
He cannot be impeached because he is
Illigitamately seated .
We are a Nation occupied by the enemy. Not only are we occupied, but occupied in the Highest office in the land!
He &his illegal regime must be removed, charged, tried & sentenced for crimes against The United States of America &Her people, crimes against humanity .
If one wishes to know the character of a man, see the people with whom he surrounds himself. He is NOT the President of the United States of America. He is, in fact, The TROJAN HORSE. He is, in fact, the enemy.
The color of his skin is of No consequence, but where his heart & loyalties rest ARE the issue.
He was & is no more than a community agitator, now on a global stage.
He & his illegal regime must be removed & real American Leaders elected so that the Shining Light of FREEDOM continues to burn brightly to light the way for those who seek the American Dream.
God Bless America & all who keep Her safe &Free
Try to remove Obama from office and there will be riots within 24 hours. Martial law will be declared within 48 hours.
I never thought about that way but I think you may be on to something .excellent point Harry
Very good Emma.
While the policies of this administration have all the earmarks of socialism his philosophy is more that of a fascist. His disregard of the Consitution, which is the law of the land whether you concur with it or not, is the act of a despot. His decimation of the ranks of high level officers in the USA’a armed forces might just well be an indication of what he has planned for our Country should the Republicans take control of both the Senate and HOR following this Fall’s election. Remember he initiated an executive order giving himself more power should he enact Marshall Law.
It is to late for impeachment he should be charged with treason for all the crap he has pulled,he doesn’y know the first thing about being a Commander in Chief or a leader he is doing nothing but bring this country down.Obama is a spine -less jelly fish he can’t even come up with a plan and if he is going to come up with one when will that be, when we have ISIS in our streets,why should have to wait till the rest of the world is on board with us, they either are or the aren’t but ISIS has to be removed from this earth before it destroys it ,it is a cancer and you don’t just cope with a cancer you remove it all or it will kill you.
Dear Frank,
You are right on the mark! No one ever wants to say it out loud, but it seems the majority of blacks … are the most hardcore racists of all! Of course, the majority of blacks are liberal Democrats, too.
I would vote for Condi Rice in a New York Minute, but I think she has made it clear she is not interesting in the headaches of running.
Personally, I wouldn’t care if our president was white. black, red, brown, green or blue!
BUT, if they were destroying our American Dream and way of life, raping the Constitution, socializing every facet of our system every time they opened their mouth … as Obama has done …. I hate their guts too!
God Save America,

DON,T WORRY ABOUT BABY JESUS THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM .HOW ABOUT YOUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF SALUTING A MEDAL OF HONOR VETRAN WITH THE LEFT HAND AND CAN NOT EVEN LOOK AT HIM THIS SHOULD BE ON EVERY NEWS STORY IN THE WORLD YOU CAN TELL I THUMBED MY NOSE AT THIS IDIOT THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO
Amen to that!!! He is a traitor to traditional American values and basic morality (he endorses abortion and gay marriage for examples) and he is one of the clearest examples of domestic enemy of the constitution you could every come up with. In addition he is a socialist/Marxist. I find it really hard to except that so many “Americans” (?) can be so blinded to those evident characteristics based on his actions.
Removing Obama from office leaves us with Biden…who is no gem. He’s more of a Blithering idiot. It’s funny how the race thing was used to usher him INTO office. The first black president! Aren’t we progressive! People were not hearing what he was saying…at all. He advocated change because that is what people wanted to hear. In this day of electronic records you can find some VERY disturbing talks he had given…he is clearly socialist. How he got in the SECOND time is beyond me..as at that point you run on your record…which was abysmal. People aren’t paying attention. So long as they get their STUFF from the gov’t, they will allow any erosion of their freedoms at all. I would be fine with impeachment..or even a charge of treason. What is most likely to happen is a shift in Congress this Nov . This would make him a lame duck and minimize damage until he could be kicked out. There are SO MANY mistakes he has made…but his Health Care Plan…affordable…yeah, right…is hitting people where they live and waking them up to his ineptitude. He has also harmed the USA on the foreign policy front too. He doesn’t know what he is doing. It’s obvious. We need a statesman in that position, not a self righteous fool who doesn’t respect the Constitiution.
I really don’t care what the color of anyone’s skin is. I want to see your resume. A community organizer with a short stay in Congress is not automatically presidental material. I have seen nothing in both terms that he has done to build us up as a nation. It looks like he is Hell bent on destroying us.
Frank it is a Democrat thing. A logical and reasonable person wouldn’t understand.
A wise heart inclineth to the right while a fool’s heart inclines to the left. And this concludes our lesson for today Boys and Girls on politics!!
While I truly believe that Obama is an “idot” (one letter short of idiot)… he’s not a complete idiot (he’s missing a few parts)!
I really have a difficult time understanding why so many people are advocating impeaching Obama when the current political leanings in the Senate most likely will curb that effort. Since he has committed so many acts that are solidly in the realm of treason… why not go after him based on that premise? After all, the penalty for impeaching him would simply be a slap on the wrist and send him to his room without dessert. The penalty for treason, on the other hand… is DEATH!
The only down side of that would be that he can’t be made to re-pay all the money he has absconded with or restitution for all the pain and suffering he has been the cause of to SO many people!!
Treason is defined in the Constitution as giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. That doesn’t fit Obama. He just hasn’t done his job as President, and that’s not a reason for impeachment. The Constitution says he must have committed high crimes or misdemeanors. Plus a Democratically controlled Senate will never convict him.
