    I am stating that he is not a black man. I guess we can agree to disagree, Mr. President.

    We certainly can, but again, most wouldn't classify him as white either, would they?

    Guess not, but there is no way in hell, he is black. I would classify him to be of mixed race. Anyway, I thought Clinton was the 1st Black President.

    We prefer "multi-ethnic".
    But again, who the fuck are you or I to say? He's this, he's that. It's bullshit, and NO ONE SHOULD CARE anyway. If you're worried about it, you have issues.
    You see that's the thing - too many people (the GAyR's and ELVi of the world) want desperately to label (they need to so they can figure out whether they're supposed to hate or not), and technically, newsflash - he can classify himself (because NO ONE else really has the right to) and identify with either, or...or none of the above. And guess what? You can't say shit about it.

    People who've suggested I need to "pick a race" have gotten free dental work.

    What makes a person black in your mind , Ultra?
    Because he is not a thuggish acting person?
    Being thuggish is a culture not a race.
    There are different classes in every race.
    Being educated and contributing toward society is what his family valued,
    Including his father.
    To put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.

    Hmm.. maybe, I should have said "he values".
    But, his family, including his father, did value education.

    He's not black enough.

    He's not white enough.

    He wasn't born here.

    He's not a citizen of the US.

    He's a SOCIALIST.

    He's deficit spending. (like he ever had a choice)

    He's putting goverment in charge of banks.

    He has a secret army.


    FUCK!

    I'm sick of these inbred motherfuckers.

    We had great health care until the prices started shooting up. Big Pharma is part of the big price problem and they are all giddy for universal health care. It's all about who you want to be fucked up the ass by. The private insurance companies or the govt. Private insurance companies can force you to do things the govt. can. I don't trust either but the govt. has more power to abuse.

    Only if you oppose him solely (or primarily) because he's black; which would also make you an idiot in addition to being a racist, but then they DO tend to go hand-in-hand...

    If you don't want to read the whole bill... here's a very good overview.

    http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/tri.pdf

    I would highly advise if you want to talk Healthcare Reform at least read and understand the actual bill in Congress... not the bullshit spewed about in the media!!

    Even if he had the perfect solution to health care morons like you would try to somehow paint him as a moron and give credit to Bush.

    Its hilariously ironic that Republicans are screaming about how much this costs when not 4 years ago they passed a health care bill that wasnt paid for just added onto the national debt.

    Republicans are the types that bitch about the pothole they just ran over, yet when the tax comes in that would pay for it you bitch about that too. You guys just love to whine about anything, then take credit when anything goes right.

    makes me sick.

    Yeah, if Repukes had their way, they would privatize the police and the fire department. And then when your house was burning down, you could stand there and watch all the trucks roll by, on their way to the mansion across town where some millionaire's cat got stuck in a tree, because the millionaire's "premium" fire care policy trumps your house.

    What's your problem with cats?

    The furry little pussies have a lot more use than Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld combined.

    Pussies should always be priority.

    Nothing against cats..... unless my house is on fire. If that's the case, kitty gets to stay in the goddamned tree a while longer.

    Well what if the people whose house was on fire didn't PAY THEIR INSURANCE PREMIUMS?

    What if they were republicans? Wouldn't that be ironic?

    Only the rich should enjoy any sort of insurance coverage.

    If the poor bastards can't afford insurance, then the kitty should be priority.

    The insurance company told me so.
