ASo they wanted a good looking articulate black man as party chairman

Very racist of you.

SIZE="2"]Yes, LH, R, b, PS - we all know you do not think President Obama is articulate or good looking.[/SIZE]

Barry is very articulate, when he is reading from a teleprompter. And I dont vote based on looks, Im just not that "Progressive".

Barry is very articulate, when he is reading from a teleprompter.

Most public speakers, and most all Presidents, (that I know of) speak from
notes. Nothing new there. Obama also writes his own dialogue ,while most
Presidents don't, they have a speech writer. What they don't do is read
words written on the palm of their hands, like school children.

Blue I don't think that comment was racist, I think it is fact.
That is what the powers that be wanted and ES just stated the truth.
For a first black president we picked someone not too black, doesn't sound black, doesn't act like many typical black men living in the inner city.
I also don't think America would have voted for him if he was kohl black. OB is sort of a a mix not to dark not to light, so as not to offend the Archie Bunkers of this world.
Even blacks have a chaste system where they judge themselves on how black a person is. The blacker the less wanted by black men black women are. That is why many black women color their hair blond or red, straighten their hair. It is sad because they should embrace who they are. Michelle Obama would never die her hair blond, she is a beautiful black women and a wonderful role model for all women.
I am not trying to be racist either but many of us can tell if we are speaking to a black or white person on the phone by the way they speak. It's just a fact. Just like one can tell an inner city person person by their speech.
Same thing for a person in the north or south or west most of us pick up on the accent, does NOT make one better then another just different. People in Boston have a different way of speaking then people from West Virginia. People in Minnosota speak differently then people from Maine. And as far as the N word, the only place I hear that spoken is when I am downtown Cleveland. Blacks downtown refer to each other in those terms. Sad but true. A white person using the N word well I have not heard that in years except for Michael Richards and Mel Gibson.

Very racist of you.

Jon Favreau is Obama's speechwriter, has been for awhile now. Without Mr Favreau Barry is a mumbling bumbling speaker. At least Mrs Palin can get through a speech without "Umming" the audience to death.

The comment was based on the color of the mans skin, so yes its a fact that it was racist.

Interesting survey rankings of all 43 Presidents.

The mere fact that Presidents Clinon, Obama, and Johnson are ahead of Presidents Adams (both) and Reagan speak volumes about the political leanings and perspective (or lack thereof) of the survey group.

FDR? Mr. Big Government failure?

WILSON? Mr. "I interned more Americans than FDR did Japanese Americans during WW1?" WILSON? Mr. "Progressive Income Tax"?

Barack Obama #15, ALREADY? LOL

Its the greatest joke ever.... Certain people really believe such stuff. History is a cruel master sometimes. Facts are facts.... Regardless of how a group tries to change it.


Adams was a rather mediocre President... But he can justifiably pass the blame, partially on Jefferson. Our current Dear Leader and his merry band of idiots..... Worst ever, by far. ZERO "been there done that". And it shows.

[Lady's Human]

John Adams was the weakest of the original leaders no doubt, but he had assistance from many quarters in that, not just from Jefferson.

Again, he was shrill, opinionated, and undiplomatic, which played right into his opponents' hands.

TO rank him below LBJ and the current President, however, is a complete farce.

The College that conducted the poll is in NY. Do you know of it?
