Obama urges Americans to tamp down inflammatory rhetoric

[Alive]

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their cohorts and supporters in the right wing stoked a lot of hate in their time by murdering thousands of innocent Iraqis and others around the world. The hate, and with us or against mentality exploded in those years and the fire was roaring even before Obama took office. Of course, Bush and his cronies should all be executed for this but their hate-loving murderous fanatical Christian right wingers who support them will keep them away from the firing squad.

You can blame Obama for letting police departments turn militaristic and thug-like. You can blame him for not speaking out against he steroid addiction in most police departments. You can blame him for not doing anything for poor black people and not addressing the black issue more publicly. By the way, Obama is as white as he is black. Of course, because American still hasn't shaken its racist roots, most would only see him as black.

Reaffirming Obama went by the name "Barry" in prior years.

So? Nearly everyone I know, myself included, has gone through name-changes while growing up. Is the Republican Attack Machine (RAM) so bereft of attack material that it has to try to cast aspersions because of a person's childhood name? It gives 'scraping the barrel' a whole new depth. How about: 'scraping the mud under the barrel' Note to RAM; you may want to flit through Obama's dirty laundry to see if there are any brown spots on his undershorts. A whole possible wealth of material there.

Too little, too late Obama. He has no credibility and his racist colors have shown through during the last 7 years. He had a great opportunity and plenty of support in the beginning but instead will be the worst POTUS in my lifetime.

He's leaving office with the highest approval rating since Reagan. Unemployment #'s have gone down. The US hasn't entered a war in his the entire two terms. For the first time in the US's history, many people can get health insurance who ordinarily couldn't afford it. Pot is legal in half the states - which is easing away from the completely failed War on Drugs which has been dragging the US through the gutter since Nixon. Easing pot is also enabling millions of Americans a joyful way to relax and, for some, relief from pain and anxiety. Por legalization also enables a lot of regular Americans a way to make a few extra thousands of dollar/annually .....something which drives Big Pharma crazy and makes holier-than-thou Bible Thumpers want to punch holes in sheetrock.

Lest attention-deficit-of-pigeons Republicans forget: Obama took office 7.5 years ago when the US was on the brink of economic collapse and had just been thrown into two wars by its prior Republican president. Obama took on an ugly mess and did quite well. Who could have done better? Palin ?!? Newt? The Republican senator looking to give blow jobs in a Minneapolis bathroom? Romney and Ryan, who promised to increase military spending far beyond what the Joint Chiefs wanted? The best the Republicans have are sick parodies of themselves. Trump is the poster boy proving that factoid.

Nice post, I agree totally with you. If the Republican Party win the next election we will go back to the KKK time and the rest of the world are already worried about the trade and immigration.

Will you go off and sulk for weeks when Hillary wins like you did in the last election?

Do you recall what Boon Mee's prediction was for the 2012 election?
