Let's Try It This Way...Under What Instances, Is It Okay To Praise The President On DU ???

52. Ha!

Rather then referring to old white men you ought to get off your immature high horse and start looking at issues in terms of issues and realize that you're playing the same game as the Republicans in terms of stereotypes.

A lot of old white guys were championing civil rights equality, etc. long before the next generation was even a glimmer of possibility.

And if you're biding your time until you get a chance to "kill wall street" I'd say you're blowing it if you ignore the continuing entrenchment of the power of the Gilded Age Oligarchs -- a lot of us old white people have been sounding the alarm about that for years. . And you also a bit blind if you ignore the fact that many of your contemporaries are contributing to that process in their professional lives even as they champion social issues.

What is behind the dislike of much of what Obama does is not because he is liberal on some social issues, or is an African American, or any of that. It's because he is contributing to a wrong turn towards increasing Corporate Power and decimation of the economic safety net for average people. Ad so many democrats have done, they package Republican economic policies in a more appealing social package.

That's the problem. Some old white guys conribute to the probkem, but so does anyone who gives them a pass and says it's okay to do things like sell out the Internet and pass secret right-wing trade agreements
