How Lame Can You Go?

I am so tired of President Obama and his wife being unfairly targeted and trashed by the media. It's really lame and childish. They have the stupidest arguments too. First they say that they think Michelle Obama doesn't dress conservatively enough. She shows her arms and legs more than the the last couple of first ladies. Big effing deal! Most of the first ladies have been like 60 damn years old so maybe their varicose veins had something to do with why they always looked so matronly, oh I'm sorry, conservative. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman showing her shape! Her clothes are not too tight or clingy and they are not too revealing, in fact she looks more sophisticated and professional than Laura Bush did most of the time.

President Obama is a good man. He is trying his hardest in a bad situation. He inherited all of this shit, he didn't make it. I'm sorry that he couldn't be all white (sarcasm) and please every last conservative on Capital Hill (May I remind you that some of these same 'conservatives' are the ones who sat back and allowed Bush to do this to our economy in order to line their own pockets and try to maintain political power for their party. Bush is a war criminal and should have been impeached and the only reason he wasn't is because 'Conservatives' ruled both houses). The media has been allowed to say some of the most disrespectful, rude, offensive, and straight up slanderous things about Obama and his family and they get away with it because of his skin color.

For example, if McCain had won the election and people in the media and other politicians who were upset about it had come and said that they wanted the new President to fail, then heads would have been rolling. Those people would have loss their jobs and been severely chastised and condemned for it. Saying that you want your president to fail is like saying that you want your country to fail. Very unpatriotic don't you think?! The fact that this type of behavior is even tolerated is just one more example of how even in this time of extreme progression, there are still those out there who see race as more than just a superficial difference.

Being a McCain/Palin supporter or being skeptical and critical of President Obama's policies and decisions does not necessarily make someone a racist. However, if you are criticizing the 44th President of the United States, make sure that you are doing it for the right reasons....and no other 'hidden' factor plays a role in you attacking him.
