Michelle's response was much nicer than mine would be, so I'll leave it at this: how DARE you call me racist just because I don't like somebody's politics? That's complete and utter BS and it pisses me off. A lot.

It's no mystery as to why we have never had a black man in the white house, any good black man that has spoke up for this country has been snuffed out and now that there is one in the white house this country is acting like a bunch of damn 5 yr olds. Bravo to you all. No wonder we are destroying ourselves when people still can't look past the color of a man's skin.
It's beyond sickening.
Tell you what, slick - instead of name calling and hopping way the smurf up on your high horse so far into left field you can't see what's what anymore, I'll give you something to think about.
There is NO better way to keep a demographic at the BOTTOM than giving them just enough to keep them going without giving them reason to aspire to be better. By giving handouts to people who are "victims of the system", we are telling them that there is NO reason to get an education, to get a job, to make something of themselves, for their own sakes and for posterity. You are telling them that they are entitled to handouts, because they are inferior to you. Why else would YOU need to take care of THEM? I am telling them they are no better and no worse, so they deserve the same thing I do - a chance to seek education and work and build a life off of one's own efforts. So who's the racist here, Captain Handout? Because it sure as hell isn't me.

but I do, I swear!! No, really! I even have a picture in my phone to prove it!
I was raised by parents who I would generally define as "liberal." My father attended Woodstock. My mother had all three of us before she was 28, my parents were married before they were 20, started with nothing, and have worked for everything they have now. They have worked their asses off for my entire life.
My mother's father was the son of an immigrant, and he died when my grandfather was 3. My grandfather was raised by his mother - and she worked as a cook, a maid, a nurse and many other jobs. My grandfather had to be sent to friends and family growing up because her jobs often required her to live at her employers, when he was 7, he had to bring his own dog to be put to sleep at the vet's office because the aunt he was to be staying with wouldn't let him bring the dog. When my grandfather was old enough, he started working for the Canadian Railroad doing surveying, and sending money home. At one point, there was a mixup with checks and the checks that he thought were being sent to his mom were sitting in an office. She was evicted from her home. When he got back from a 6 month survey, she was living in a room in the church, because in Canada in 1935, in a town of 150 people, the church was "welfare."
My mother's mother's family owned one of the mills that the the government took during WWII for "the war effort." After the war, the family business wasn't quite right again, so it was sold. Grandma was a teacher, served dinner every night at 6:00, and Sunday dinner was in the dining room on the china with the silver. Because "that is how it is."
My father's father was in the navy, like his father was, like his was. When he retired he worked for the post office.
My father's mother was in the ladies auxiliary, was involved in the national level, raised three boys and was a stay at home mom.
My point? I look at my parents - who started out as two teenagers who realized it was time to get married ( ) And somehow in 40 years managed stay married, raise three kids, stay out of debt, stay out of trouble, pay taxes, put their kids in public schools, put their kids through college, get all three going in the right direction.
My parents both came from "normal" families. They didn't have trust funds, and they barely had bank accounts when they started. When they had my sister, they needed food stamps at the very beginning. My mom made wedding dresses to pay for rent and food, my dad put himself through college with a full academic scholarship.
I look at the current administration and it just plain pisses me off. This administration is all about entitlement - everyone "deserves" everything. Bullshit. I think people deserve basic things, and medical care is one of them, but this is far beyond medical care....
Corporate bailouts? piss me off. You ran your company into the ground, so it went out of business. Tough crap. Make a better product and compete in the marketplace. That's how capitalism works.
Credit card bailouts? piss me off. You signed that agreement. You should have read the damn thing. You can see the numbers in the fine print, the interest rate is right there in black and white. You bought that crap, now pay for it. I have no sympathy - and I'm in the same boat, and I'm paying for it every day.
Every time I turn on the tv I see another government run program that SCREAMS "entitlement." Now there is one that will give you a cell phone and 200 free minutes a month. I'm sorry? WHAT? Who pays for that??? I do. You do. Somehow, I grew up without a cellphone. So did millions of other people. But now, the government has decided people are entitled to cellphones as some kind of "basic right of being an American."
So, in 40 years, from nothing, though hard work, my parents have made something of themselves... and taa-daa! The reward? Current government says "We get to take a HUGE chunk of that because we DESERVE it." why do we deserve it? well, because we SAY we deserve it! Because YOU have it, and the people who sit on their asses and "deserve a cell phone with 200 minutes a month" ... but someone has to pay for that!!!!
And quite frankly... I don't care what color the guy's skin is. He could be purple, with pink stripes...
This administration has become more and more entitlement based, and it sickens me. There are people who truly need help. And THOSE people should get help, but "needing help" in my world is health care, education, clothing, food and shelter. It's not a cell phone. It's not bailing out people who bought houses they couldn't afford in the first place. It's not bailing out banks who wrote bad mortgages. It's none of that crap.
He's the head of the administration - when I think of it I think of him.

No buts. Statements like your earlier one serve no purpose except to make you look like a fanatic.
Once you calmed down and posted rationally I agreed with everything you had to say.

I agree with all of it but i don't see how people can blame Obama for everything when the majority of it was bush's fault AND the fact that the president doesn't even have the most power. the senate and house do. I don't agree with everything obama does but i don't act like he's horrible and wants to destroy us all.
Obama is like every other present, he's doing the best he can.
obama could make a perfect bill for health care or anything else but it would still get shot down or twisted and changed when it hits the house and senate. So to blame everything on one man is ridiculous. There is wrong happening from both sides of the fences.
I've always found it to be sad that a country that is suppose to be united has always been split by 2 sides.
.I do apologize for my first post but I'm just so tired of the way people act, both left and right.
Bush was a pretty bad president but i don't think he wasn't a deviate and he tried and he did do some good things. Yet people act like Obama is the worse thing in the world, as if he's slaughtering babies on the front lawn of the white house
In a perfect world we would be able to give those things to those who go without(like cell phones for instance since u brought it up) and they would use that cell phone to get a job and better themselves, but obviously in reality they just use it to call friends and buy drugs and god knows what else. In reality you can't give people things they don't earn because they don't know what to do with it so they do the wrong things. Even things like food stamps are so horribly mistreated, in my town people sell their food stamps for drugs and alcohol.
You'd think people would realize that just giving people money and things doesn't fix anything and usually makes it worse.
