THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY ON "BLACKNESS"
Original message
Frankly, I don't get this current meme that Obama is just as bad as Bush...
Or that he's even worse.
But yet, I get the feeling that a few posters REALLY feel that way around here. For whatever reason? Who knows.
All I can say is that, not supporting the Democrats this November is the best way to make sure in knowing if President Obama is just like the Republicans.
Of course, that's NOT a scenario that I would support or expect ONE IOTA.
But I wonder, if that's the underlying message being delivered when people so readily equate him with the GOPers?
It's a big campfire, but like the scorpion primitive, not particularly interesting.

10. Actually, the equation is being made by Obama loyalists not Tariq Ali or his readers. Ali is comparing policies, not people. So yeah, heads could usefully be examined.
Beginning with Doug's stupid ex-wife's head, of course.

9. It's just sloppy thinking.
The current discussion began with a thread about Tariq Ali's new book which compares Bush's policies and especially his war policies, with Obama's.
That's been schlepped into "Tariq Ali equates Obama with Bush", something he obviously doesn't do or he would have no book. Something that obvious wouldn't be a book.
But the Thought Crime Police have decided it's more useful to turn DU against a potentially important critique of the war and totalize it into an attack on the person of the president, which is is not.
Defending Obama is somewhat easier here than thinking about the war so, it's not very surprising, really.

23. Gotcha. Most people have their own agenda/priorities so it's a good thing to try to focus on the facts they bring.
That's why it's wise to watch Doug's stupid ex-wife with a sharp eye; she has her own agenda, and so one has to be skeptical of the "facts" she brings the primitives.
Yawn.
