My Poor President

...

First we have the 'hub bub' over Nevada Senator Harry Reid's comments concerning Obama's assured appeal to voters (saying Obama's "light-skinned" and has "no negro dialect")and NOW we have Trump TV contestant,ousted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich telling Esquire magazine he's "blacker than Barack Obama". I read last month where during the 2k8 election where former President Bill Clinton told Teddy Kennedy (when he was soliciting the late Senator's endorsement Hillary Clinton's Presidential run), "A few years ago, this guy (Obama) would have been getting us coffee." Kennedy is said to have been so angry, that he decided to endorse Obama instead. Clinton's remarks are curious because former President Clinton has been characterized as so friendly with the black community that, at one time, he was actually called, "the first black President." I personally believe this was good ol boy "southern" politics. His actions speak much louder than his verbal 'faux pas'. Anyone remember Senator Robert Byrd's using the "N word" in an interview just a few years ago?

Why do people ignore these blatant errors in judgment yet, people criticize Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck as being mean spirited, hate filled racists having NEVER listened or watched their shows in their entirety or for any length of time? Hannity, though I agree with him for the most part annoys the $hit outta me sometimes. I do believe that Limbaugh has lost touch a little, as someone of his stature probably can't help. That's probably a GOOD thing. I really like Bill O'Reilly,though. He doesn't promote the right as Fox News does. Which to me isn't a bad thing seeing the "other" side has George Soros, most movie related people, most print media, and pretty much ALL of the television networks(Fox's 'FX' included).

I don't think we as a nation will not be able to fix what's wrong as long as we keep worrying about pointing fingers and pointing out each other's political or ideological persuasion. I would have thought by 2010 we'd stop worrying about our racial make up. Apparently,I am wrong.
