10. Yes! He only cares about the black side of himself! That's why he's divisive and unfit to lead.

Or at least that's what RWNJs argued with me when he was elected in 2008. We went round and round about it. It's like this or so they said:

Black people think with the same side of their brains as females do. This means they can't lead the country. Since Obama is bi-racial, the white side of his brain is being messed with by the black half. The white side of the brain being male, and capable of higher thinking, blah, blah, blah, is suppressed.


The (ahem) white males making this case were quite in earnest, and of course, it wasn't 'racist' because they felt sorry of Obama being mixed up like that. They saw it as a matter of nature as the leaders of the CSA said the same thing about blacks and women. Not his fault, and they felt great compassion for him.

That produces the meme he is weak, indecisive, ineffective, easily bullied, gay and since he has that internal neurological conflict, with the female half of brain seeking to control him, he is crazy and dangerous.



'Just think, he has his hand on the nuclear button. He might go off his rocker at a certain time of the month, like Hillary would.'

Yes, they really do think that kind of stuff. They are very 'concerned.'

Some of them. The rest are just plain fascists. I am so glad I got a chance to vent on that, too.
