A Canadian's view of our disrespect of our own President. Interesting.

60. Kennedy, Wallace?

false equivalency. Of course that was about race, but NOT........wait for it......the color of the POTUS as it is today, 50years down the road. From the days when I had to fight to be able to vote in this corrupt system because of my race, Kennedy was helping me fight Wallace. Two white men fighting for and against black people's civil and voting rights. Obama is trying to help us all, yet he has not been given that benefit precisely because of his race. Liberal tag being a stone around his neck? Sure that is partisan politics. IF he had had the loyalty of his Party, and not so many goddamn 'blue dogs' working in concert with the RW and who would have shown some courage, Pelosi and Reid come to mind, we as a Party might not have had to take such a big bite of the corporate apple.

All of you can try to distract and deflect from the truth of RACE being the stone around Barack Obama's neck with a little truth of your own about the partisan end of politics, according to you, thrown in to make it seem like it is Obama's fault nothing has gotten done in SIX years of RW gridlock. Clinton started the Third Way. He moved our Party to the right to turn us into "socially liberal-fiscally conservative" DINOS to try to get the onus of Monica out of the spotlight and make it seem like he was getting something done. Deregulation of media, glass-steagall and on and on to the absolute joy of the RW and to my chagrin as a progressive.

No it's not about the L word, that's smokescreen BS, IT IS ABOUT COLOR in this racist, bigoted culture that permeates everything from a black man walking into the streets and getting executed for that transgression to the "dog whistle" politics that has been practiced by the RW in vitriolic manner for the last SIX YEARS. I will never back away from the fact, IT'S ABOUT RACE!!!!!.

I've been around the block a few times myself.
