He's president, he's black — get over it
Lexington Herald Leader ^ | 9-8-09 | Merlene Davis

Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States of America.

As such, he is due the respect that the highest office of the land commands. For reasons that every black person knows and many white people are learning, this president is receiving 400 percent more death threats than then-President George W. Bush, according to the Secret Service.

It's not all about Obama's desire to bring equity and compassion into the health care reform debate, although some people couch it that way. President Harry Truman tried to get health care reform several times, but he failed. President Lyndon Johnson signed a socialist program called Medicare into law. Neither drew as much ire as Obama.

It's not his pro-choice stance on abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court has had numerous opportunities to overturn Roe vs. Wade. In 1992, the 20th anniversary

Folks, I was born a little before W.W.II and I have been a bit of a news junkie since before Ike.. so I sure remember the 60s..

any favorable mention of the Tenth Amendment was considered support for Jim Crow and therefore RACIST!

Reacting to the riots and looting by expressing a longing for law and order was met with contemptuous sarcasm, i.e., law'n order -- and of course, screams of RACIST!

What's the wisdom to be garnered from the "cried wolf too often" story?

Obviously we are burdened with millions who cannot learn but what is their incentive to learn?

As long as the victimhood industry is sooooooo lucrative -- and I might add, can be a virtual guarantee of a job for life if you are in the "victim" class -- there will never be an end.

Hmmm.. why do I have this sudden urge for pancakes and syrup?

Because there's no better way to prove someone who calls you a racist wrong than by making a stupid Aunt Jemima crack?

Get back under your rock.

This chart has no correspondence to reality because it conflates linguistic background with genetic background.

Death threats are issued by irrational people.

Merlene’s column is (we assumed) directed at the rational. The irrational won’t read it or care.

So what exactly is her motivation?

This is probably a real dumb question but I'm honestly perplexed. Can someone please explain to me these 'reasons'??

Merlene is the registered black bigot with a chip on her shoulder at the Herald Mis-leadthem. She hurls out the race card so much you would think she works for Sharpton or Jackson and gets a commission each time.

Yeah Merlene, he’s black according to you, SO WHAT! Again who perpetuates racism? LIBERALS.

No Marlene.

He is only due a level of Courtesy (as in Customs and Courtesies due the holder of the office of the President).

He, like every President before him, must EARN the Respect of the American public.

The polls now being provided almost daily seem to indicate that he “can't get no respect” -— even if Aretha spells it out for him one letter at a time (you being such a seasoned senior citizen, should remember Aretha, right Marlene?).

Say Marlene, you got a job lined up? You'd really be better off working that resume than writing pap like this.

Say goodnight Marlene. Make it like we never knew ya.

They probably said that about Idi Amin too until he started eating people.

Well Merlene his mother was white so you I'll give you half credit for your column. At least he is blacker than that cracker you people claimed was the first black president.

How are you going to view it, Madame, when it turns out that he is a giant fraud, elevated to power by persons knowingly participating in the fraud, and is not legitimate?

Is outright “fraud” part of the “old school” that you speak of?

My kids needed to listen to what the commander in chief had to say.

The Pres is not the commander in chief of the American people, much less of American children. He is the commander-in-chief of the American military. Only.

I owe, and give, him the respect his office deserves. I have little respect for most of the positions he promotes.

That said, I think the uproar over this speech is overblown. He is not going to brainwash all American children in a 20 minute speech.

If he says something that is inappropriate, give him hell for doing so, don't freak out before he says a word.

Respect is not deserved, it is earned, and Obama has not earned it.

Bottom line, toots.
