Last night was historic. For the first time ever, a President was heckled during an address to both houses of congress. The office has never neen shown this type of disrespect before.
Why the special treatment of Obama. Deep down and, maybe you don't like him because he's black? Maybe, because he has a funny name? What is it? You were nasty to Clinton, but none of this outrage. |
So, when you can't discuss this on an intelligent and mature level you resort to calling people racist? Really? Is that how you want to play it?
I don't like Obama because I don't think he is qualified or ready for the position he currently holds. I don't like Obama because he seems to be lots of talk, and little substance (when it comes to taking action). He is an ok orator. He definitely has charisma and charm.
I liken it to the following: I've had doctors who had poor bedside manner, but they were the best MDs. I didn't hesitate to put my life in their hands. I've had Drs. that were really nice, super bedside manner--but I didn't know if their charm and charisma was a cover for the fact they weren't the best of MDs.
In my opinion, Obama may be one of those people who compensates for his lack of knowledge and experience by being exceptionally charming and charismatic.
I work with 4 other ladies--ranging in age from 21 to 50, and we run the gamut from "raging" liberal to ultra conservative. None of us are thrilled with Obama. And amazingly, our discussions on why we don't like him don't include the color of his skin or his unique name.
