How the white hat got stained

All they had to do was take a look at Washington’s former Mayor Marion Barry to see how Obama would turn out.

Please explain the specific connection between the two men.

[Venturer]

Both black, criminally incompetent , Both used Cocaine,Both used their cronies for important positions in their administration, both got almost 100% of the black vote, both racist, is that enough?

[presidio9]

Bill Clinton used cocaine. George Bush may have used cocaine. What I'm having difficulty with is why you compared Obama to Marion Barry, a crack addict and convicted felon. If it was primarily because both men are black, you are doing the rest of us on this website a disservice.

[stanne]

I see that.

[Venturer]

Sorry if you feel that way, and certainly since you say George bush and Bill Clinton used Cocaine, that makes the use of Cocaine just fine doesn’t it.

Barry’s time as Mayor was covered with corruption, as is Obama’s administration. Did you know that Barry a crack addict and felon now serves on the Districts city council?
You see he is still supported by blacks, just as Obama is.
If it’s a disservice to point that out, I am sorry, but it’s the fact.

Barry was a racist, dashiki wearing Community Organizer, just as Obama was. I assume you have seen Obama dressed in his African garb.

IMO if you ignore the fact that Obama is black you do a disservice to this website, you see it isn’t me who has called him black. He gave himself that label. He used it in a speech just yesterday.

I will give one thing to Barry though, He was a much better Mayor than Obama is as President.

No, nobody said that Chief. The name "Marion Barry" is only known today because he got caught on tape in a motel room smoking crack with a prostitute while he was Mayor of the District of Columbia.

You chose to associate the two because of the color of their skin. That is not helpful to the image of this website.

[Venturer]

You have a right to your opinion. I gave several reason, you picked race. That’s fine , you are entitled to your opinion

If I picked Barry because of the color of his skin I could have chosen Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, or Kasim Reed of Atlanta, or Dave Bing of Detroit. No I believe the corruption of Barry and Obama are much closer that and their acceptance among the black voters.

None of the other opinions you picked are very relevant. You picked Marion Barry because he is a disgraced black Democrat. Other than skin color and political party, the two actually have very little in common.

[Venturer]

How about the fact that Barry always asked Congress for more and more money?

LMAO —Never mind. You have your mind made up, let it go at that. You have established you Obama Bona Fides.

[presidio9]

How about the fact that Barry always asked Congress for more and more money?

And that makes him different from other Democrats how?

I get it. You are a racist and you're proud of it. Good for you. Pointing it out to you doesn't make me a liberal or an Obama supporter.

[Venturer]

Play that card Babe. LMAO.

[presidio9]

Actually, you played it yourself when you chose Marion Barry as the one person to compare the persident to. Truth be told, aside from the womanizing, he has far more in common with Bill Clinton.

Your racism only makes a difference to me in so far as it reflects negatively on the rest of us here. It does not suprise me that you don’t recognize your own views for what they are.
