(14,087 posts)That's the most absurd thing I've ever seen written here. How do you "criticize" someone for being black??????
Do I criticize him for doing dumb stuff like suggesting CHAINED CPI to cheat folks out of their social security checks THE OLDER THEY GET???? The more helpless they get, the more he was willing to screw them???? Yes. I criticized him for that.
And how about this appointment of Ray Kelly? How 'bout leaving single payer out of his negotiations on the health care bill, and STARTING negotiations way to the right of what needed to happen? How 'bout unmanned drones killing people? Guantanamo. Rahm Emmanuel??? Joe Lieberman?
THOSE are the things I "criticize" Obama for. I have also praised him for a great deal of the work he has done....even passing ANY kind of health care bill was great. Helping hurricane victims, college students, pre-K kids....he's done a lot.
Personally, he lost me with the chained CPI. That, to me, was unexcusable.
