Obama’s campaign is lucky that Obama’s mother is not alive to be asked these questions. I suspect that she’d have been Obama’s “Miss Lillian”, only a lot worse.
B.O. doesn’t what his daughter “punished with a baby” so abortion is ok. Why then is it not ok for a son to leave the scene to avoid being “punished with a baby”,also?
What struck me about the speech was two things:
1. When Bill Cosby said this same stuff the black activist crowd was ready to tar and feather him.
2. Obama is a bad poster child for this. sure, he was raised in a home with a strong male role model eventually, but we’re talking about a guy whose Dad abandoned him at the age of two, and who may be POTUS next January. That’s sort of like sending Gene Simmons (ludicrously rich; hot, loving wife; two smart healthy kids and an apparently a quite happy life) out to tell people about how pre-marital sex will ruin your life. Sure, it’s true that it’s a bad idea to screw around before marriage, but Gene’s a guy who beat the system, not a cautionary tale.
You ask an excellent question.
Obama should have pointed out that the real problem is all the Black males who brag about how many women they have [bleep]ed yet could not pick them out of a line-up and have no idea whether or not they even have any children save that the girl brings suit and forces a DNA test on them. As usual, he chooses to look at the situation from an upscale-suburban-elite POV and act as if the real problem in the world is the work-life-balance of overworked stockbrokers.
Time to stop putting out fires and start talking about fire prevention; time to stop valuing yourself by how many wimmin you have impregnated and, like, get a full time job of some kind, maybe?
Finally, "Johnny" (who was rather a trouble-maker and not very academically inclined) effectively ended the debate with the following proclamation: "I think if a girl don't wanna get pregnant, she don't need to be spreading her legs, and if a boy don't wanna get a girl pregnant, he don't need to be sticking his thing between her legs."
Pretty well sums it up.
I get the gist of your post but I don't think Gene Simmons is married. Also, I can't for the life of me believe why some women think this man is "hot" other than for his ca$h.
The Problem with Obama's Father's Day Speech
There were many problems with his speech. But for some odd reason the MSM/DBM missed it while they laid prone on the floor praying at his feet, to wit:
[How much *more money* does this mope want thrown down the toilet? How about ... oh ... a Bazillion?]
[Oh well, there goes another Bazillion for taxpayers to eat}
(Lemme see if I got this right, I seem a tad confused? First we PAY the Black single moms for being irresponsible and having a brood by different daddies, and now Barry wants to PAY Black fathers for doing - WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IN THE *&^&%$ING FIRST PLACE! Oh well, toss in another Bazillion suckers.]
[Holy Crap, this one's a Two BAZILLION dollar tab for PAYING BLACK MEN FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE. This guy's a loon!]
[I think we taxpayers are running out of Bazillions. Anyone up for a Gazillion?]
[Woo-Hoo!!! MORE *FREE MONEY* FOR NOT WORKING!!!!]
(Yeah you blithering idiot, because the taxpayers will be #@%&ing broke you ass, and they'll be no more, *FREE MONEY FOR BABY'S DADDY*]
Like I said, IMO there were a 'few problems' with his speech. But only if you're a taxpayer with a job.
No, Simmons isn’t married. He and Shannon Tweed have been living together for about 20 years. He even says that the secret to is and Tweeds happiness is the fact that they aren’t married, and that marriage makes people unhappy on balance. My answer to that is, “Speak for youself, buddy.”
Johnny is wise beyond his years.
Does he even know what MIA means?
“Johnny” really had more sense than the rest of those kids put together. I hope he has done well. The year I taught him he was living with his grandparents, but the next year he went to live with his mother about 300 miles away.
You make an excellent point and I’m surprised I hadn’t caught that myself. Yeah, it really is pretty silly to describe anyone shirking their responsibilities as “MIA” because you can’t be MIA while being away from what you’re suppposed to be doing.
God bless all those who truly are MIA.
I’ll mention it on my blog and give you credit.
dear scrawny shit: if you think blacks are angry, just wait till you tangle with a disenfranchised dad.
The problem with Obama, like most Dems, refuses to pinpoint the most important SINGLE cause of the cultural degradation in much of the black community. That cause is the destruction of the 2 parent black family. The precipitate cause of this tragedy was the welfare state created by LBJ and (mostly) the DemocRAT Party. But since Barack He who must not be middle named Obama wants to extend and expand the welfare state to all of America, he is careful to avoid drawing the correct conclusions. Oh he gives lip service to the notion of personal responsibility, but is extremely careful to avoid any implication of the DemocRAT Party.
When you point out that the Democratic Partys entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.
The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are for us. They usually go on to an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixons Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwaters principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territorys. The Democratic Party opposed 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the United States Constitution, reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnsons welfare state. When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesnt seem to register either.
The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just dont know what can be done about it. I am constantly engaged in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
