Our President makes people think the book the Bell Curve was valid more than he proves he is competent in office IMO.

We’re not worthy.

So Canada, YOU take him. That’ll show us.

Obama does have some serious problems. He’s black. Unquestionably, a lot of Americans hate their national leader being black, and, worse yet, a black who is the smartest man around.

This is why I have a kneejerk disdain for Canadians. I know it's wrong and I actually struggle against it. But I have yet to meet one who didn't think he had this country all figured out, and racism was ALWAYS an element of this "knowledge."

Canadians can't accept that just because they are a whiter, blander America, that doesn't mean they're smart enough to understand this incredibly complex and genuinely diverse nation. SO they go to old, old cliches.

Yo Canada? Those of us born after, say, 1940 or so grew up in a world where military experience, black post-war migration and more people going to college forced people from diverse backgrounds together. Whatever our errors or simple disagreements on racial segregation, we've all been living together a looooong time now, and we don't have the hangups you think we have from watching old American TV shows.

YOU're the ones living in the past, guys. Catch up. We can hate a black man and not hate him for being black, but for being a socialist. I know many Canadians don't see as such a bad thing, so it MUST be over skin color, couldn't possibly be over his individual ideas. I mean, no one could dislike a black person for his own individuality, you HAVE to dislike him for his skin color, right?

In other words, thinking we could ONLY dislike Obama because he's black reveals that the racist here is...you.

Yet the truth — admittedly a near-irrelevancy in politics — is that Obama headed off a near-depression caused by Bush and corporate greed and arrogance and stupidity, and by his stimulus package brought the economy back at least to consciousness.

I think the author is projecting his own short comings on Bush here.

I tried to Google his citizenship and most things say he's still a Canadian but I don't know how current they are.

Perhaps when reading one of his articles I confused his dealings with the INS as being part of pursuing citizenship.

“Canada didn’t write this article.”

Surely this was written as a spoof, or extreme sarcasm.
No one, other then mentally disturbed, ultra black racist, would go this far.

He's just too good for US.

Somalia perhaps is ready for his rule. That seems to be his goal here.

I guess this explains why we can’t get below 40% approval for Obama. Zombies.

An aide says Ozero is “unsentimental”?
I would say its more like he has no soul.

“an aide has recently described him as “the most unsentimental man I’ve ever met.” Ruthlessness comes easily to Obama,”

Well, the author did get one thing right. Obama is almost like a member of the old Soviet Politburo in that sense. I don’t mean that in terms of his politics, but rather in his demeanor. He is cold, aloof, and primarily concerned with strategic planning and the practical application of ideological theories. The more human elements of politics, it seems to me, strike him as trivial annoyances.

Moonbat of moonbats, or else the most arduous effort at irony that has ever been focused on the Bummer, failing for its very success.
