Dear America: President Obama is not (100%) Caucasian.

Get the fuck over it.

Over the past few days I've been mulling over the merits of posting a ranty rant of rantiness about how I'm becoming more convinced with each passing day that Republican obstruction of the stimulus bill is due in large, large part to the fact that Obama is black. Due to this more than the fact that they're sore losers pissed off at losing all the (often immoral, if not illegal) privileges they've amassed for themselves since the Reagan years. (If you want me to justify their "concern for future generations with anything more than a parenthetical aside, you need to stop reading this lj now.)

With all the stories about Republican malfeasance emerging in recent days I'd almost convinced myself that race didn't have much to do with it.

Then metal_dog5 linked me to this, and all I could think is, Et tu, New-York-Fucking-Post?

Seriously, country. Not everyone is white. In fact, many of those people who aren't white are even intelligent, eloquent, moral, and have what it takes to lead nations. Get the fuck over it all ready.

SERIOUSLY.


That will be all.

Actually, no, I didn't know about "Obama bucks," and it's probably a good thing too because holy jesus, reading about it now infuriates me. That that bitch could call Obama racist for pointing out that America has always been run by old, white, christian men is just...FOASDUFIUDCNVK;ALSDUFIODYUF!"!!!!

As to your last question, I WISH I KNEW, although I'm heartened by the fact that Obama seems to be more the stern parent than gloating winner. Hopefully he can turn things around and refocus the government on what it *should* be doing: governing.

Of course! He's a racist because he's pointing out something that is, indeed, a fact. And because he's not white himself he's a racist merely for bringing it up. MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

As am I, as am I. On the other hand I'm somewhat disheartened when I see the Republican's fighting it so hard. I mean, I understand difference in ideals and politics but. Could they try a little harder? Just a little bit?

Overall though, I think that if anyone can get through to the bigheads in Washington it's Obama.

And I mean "try a little harder to work together". :P
