She called out Mitch McConnell for having the goal to have Obama lose in 2012 and pointed out how the debt limit was repeatedly raised during the previous administration.

It's very obvious in this debt ceiling debate.

That's why Obama shouldn't give an inch!

And lies told by the incumbent who never spent a dime of our tax money without first making sure that his friends got a cut.

i've been a member in DDU since 2000. When i came here i stayed because it was unity and the discourse was something we all recon with. Now its like not only the country has been taking over by the new MAFIA CALLED CORPORATE..but now idiots here that can't get the reality that we have a black PRESIDENT such as yourself.Obama is not perfect nor was bush. Why chestise Obama for trying to help and not bush who fucked it up in the first place. Stop using you bigotry in place of common sense.

"So when Sen. Obama voted against the debt ceiling hike in 2006, along with every other Democrat in the Senate, calling it a lack of leadership by the White House, was that racist too?"

How is that racist?

"Obama voted against the debt ceiling hike in 2006, along with every other Democrat in the Senate"
Do as I SAY not as I DO? Raising the debt ceiling is stupid now, as it was then,. you attack that poster for "using you bigotry" when none was present.

Obama is just continuing the same agenda as Bush Jr. and The Clinton before that,. (white men I point out) its the corporate bankster agenda, the one that takes the wealth form the many and funnels it into the fat ugly faces of the very few. It is not racist to point out that not a lot real has changed since the change of presidents.

What should be done, is to stop paying interest to private banksters for the money created by the government promises to pay it back. As that is how money is created. There is no reason that the people together to do their will, i.e. 'government', should be beholden to PRIVATE BANKSTERS for the creation of money,. the people can do it themselves and the debt and the sick interest componded on it should not be handed over to private do nothing users. The solution to the debt scam,. is to STOP playing the banksters game! Money was not always created this way, nor does it need to be,. interest free money should be the only money used by the people,. why the hell should rich bankers who create money from thin air be collecting interest for doing nothing??? If you don't understand what I am on about research 'money as debt'!

of race relations in this country.:dunce:

she is only asking the same question we've been asking on DU since Obama was elected. Was she playing the "race card"-well, okay if you believe that-but so are the R's and Teabaggers, and convervative media etc etc etc.

Him being black is a big problem for some people in this country who are still bitter over the civil war and the civil rights movement.
And we are supposed to pretend that it is not a problem because they don't call him a nigger or a boy and insist that he sit in the back of the buss.
those people that did those kind of things are still alive...and many of them have not changed their hearts.

getting rid of the middle class. The only person that is trying to help the poor, old and retired is Obama. I support him and I'm white from south Ga.

seems to be an overabundance of di$ruptor$ getting their weekly pocket change today.

Ain't it funny how Teabagging whites suddenly "discovered" them after Obama was sworn in?
