What Is With Obama Trashing?

It's just American-style politics Bella-- and its been this way for more than 200 years.

It hurts a bit that the trashing of Obama is coming from fellow Democrats this close to the general election, but even that isn't new.

It is just the way things are.

It's still ridiculous.

Ignorance should never be accepted.

What are you going to do Bella? Ranting and raving is about all you/we can do and frankly, it's a useless exercise IMO, especially on an anonymous chat site. But you've got to know that the Rev. Wright debacle is what so many fearful people in this country have been waiting so long for. It legitimizes their intense desire to rip this Black man apart limb from limb because he has dared to run for the Presidency.

Nothing. Because there is nothing I can do.

And ranting on an anonymous website makes me feel better; makes me feel like at least someone is hearing me, even if they think I am full of **** and lies.

I do it for the same reasons everyone else on here does.

Does it really make you feel better? If so, then that's a good thing.

No.

Yes.

I don't know.

Sort of.

The sad part for me is that if you want to have a reasonable debate on Obama's side, you are called an elitist or an Obama-worshiper without regard to the merit of your argument. Still, as eb said, that is how the game is played. You can find a few people who will debate honestly with you, and a few who will never see the world your way, but will toss out interesting positions that you just can't seem to make go away. People on this board have made arguments that have swayed my opinion and provided me links to interesting articles I would have never seen otherwise. It is annoying to filter through the trash, but the gems are in there.
