So when will it be okay to criticize Obama without being called racist?

Any time I say something critical about Obama, people call me racist and say I don't like him just because he's black, which is absolutely ridiculous. I would have never voted for the most liberal and inexperienced candidate in US history regardless of his skin pigment. Any white candidate running for president with his track record would have never even made it past the primaries, but people got WAAAY to wrapped up in the fact that he's the first black candidate ever, which he really isn't, he's biracial and is half white, and was raised by the white side of his family.

Anyhow, he's just signed into law the single most expensive, irresponsible, pork-filled bill in American history which has almost nothing to do with actually stimulating the economy, and yet the media still acts like he's the second coming of Jesus Christ. Now I could have actually respected Obama if he had vetoed the bill and told them to go back and make serious revisions before he would sign it, but no, that would be way too much to expect the most liberal president in US history to oppose his own party.

So are you still going to call me racist or will you actually look at what I'm criticizing about him?

Wait, people are calling you racist :?? They're probably not too smart. Nonetheless, you shuold probably wait 1-2 months before criticizing him. Hell, he won't be a month in until tomorrow.Video_Game_King

Not really. That's like criticizing the guy at work who just joined a few days ago. What the hell do you expect, he hasn't been around too long, and he still doesn't know the ins and outs of his jobs. Wait a few months to criticize him, since he'll know better by then.

Next time someone says that just slam in their face "you're a racist for bringing up the colour of his skin, what I said had nothing to do with it". It should leave them dumbfounded.xTheExploited

Stop the clock! Was anyone keeping track? It's been maybe a day or two since the last topic like this. Has to be a record right? On-Topic: The stimulus bill was necessary because the previous president ran our economy straight into the ground. The non-stimulative parts of the bill are roughly 1% of the overall bill. This ground has been covered before. I am not going to call you a racist. However, I AM going to say that you're jumping the gun a bit on your judgment of the effects of the bill. It is way too early to determine whether or not the bill was a good one or not. The fact of the matter though is that the consensus of pretty much every single mainstream economist in the country was that some sort of stimulus package was absolutely necessary, and that it had to be a huge one to have any real impact on staving off a depression. It'll probably take AT LEAST a year or two to figure out if this was the right combination package or not.nocoolnamejim

Actually, he DIDNT run our economy into the ground. It was a combination of all of them since Jimmy Carter. Also, remember the housing market collapse? Which party tried calling it and which party said "shut up, you dont know what your talking about."

Ill leave it at that.

possibly not but that makes me feel a little better cause i felt that i was the only one on this site that thought that way:?

NY Post is being boycotted for a cartoon that appears to compare Pres. Barack Obama to a chimpanzee. I haven seen it my self but I find it funny that its racist now but with G. Bush is was all fun a laughter comparing him to a ape.AgileNate

Easy...comparing a black man to an ape has overt racial tones going back hundreds of years. It was even considered normal in the US just 60 or so years ago to say a black person was no more equal to anything than an ape. Comparing Bush to an ape has more to do with Bush's supposed lack of intelligence. Plus, history will show that white people have never been compared racially to an ape.

As for criticizing Obama...I do it all the time but I do so without putting his race in the criticism. If one criticizes Obama on his policies and idealogy and is being called a racist then those making the accusations have issues.
