It's a "gotcha" world now gringa......there seems to be this pervasive need to bring everyone down to our own level, be it a politician or a hollywood celebrity. I am getting pretty tired of it, but recognize that is what sells newspapers, magazines, gets TV viewers, and draws people into blogs. We want to see them at their worst if at all possible because that makes us feel better about our own sorry non-celebrity lives. It is what it is. I was amused that the article/opinion piece used a picture of Bush helping Byrd, but neglected to show the one of him giving the German Chancellor a back rub......ahhhh the unscripted presidential moments......It's ok to print them, but maybe we should let people come to their own conclusions rather than force feeding an opinion such as the racist one in this piece.

This all began with someone crying race. Interesting how the very guy accused of such is the only guy stepping up to help. The Prez had plenty to say a few weeks ago...Now he can't be bothered to help a fellow black man and friend down the steps. Photo Op over. I gotcha world? Pot/ Kettle/ Black. Geez I can't remember how many times some of you have drooled over a mistake by that other party! It's a gotcha because we see for a moment past this mask to what the man really is. This is what you get when he thinks no one is looking. He is arrogant beyond belief. |

Yes, he chooses this life he leads. You choose how to interpret a snapshot. I don't know if it is disgraceful or not. I don't have enough information and neither do you. I still want to know how you made a racist conclusion. It is anything BUT rascist. Even the article didn't call it racist. Do you hate him SO much you are reading something that isn't even there?

not really there....? I guess time will tell won't it. I dislike anyone who through ignorance or willful action sets out to destroy our country. I have said very little about our current situation in this country so please don't go putting thoughts or words in my head or mouth. |

Let's look at this. Only one person could help Prof. Gates down the steps. It could have been Obama, isolating Crowley and making him look like the racist outsider, or Obama could graciously concede the position at his friends elbow to Crowley allowing the two men to have a public moment of unity. I think Obama did the right thing. |

Show me ONE post when I ever "drooled" over Bush and all of his infinite errors....... Show me! I may have laughed, I may have been embarrassed for him. I may have posted one or two.... although I never agreed with much of anything Bush did, the worst I ever called him was "Bush and Co." And that was because I NEVER FOR ONE MINUTE thought that EVERYTHING that was going wrong was BUSH. It was his advisers, his Vice-president, and myriads of others. I also believe that Obama had little power... he is the puppet as are most all of the Presidents. I do remember being VERY upset over Bush and his "one-finger salute" he was so fond of. Especially at the G-20 meeting. Where were you and your criticism of that? For all I know, he walked side-by-side with this man, helping him and when they reached the steps and reporters and staff were waiting, the other guy stepped in and said, "Go on, I'll help him now"...... I don't know and again - NEITHER DO YOU. |

I still don't see how you interpret it as "racist". Am I missing something? Can you just answer that for me without insulting me? |

Gringa, did I say that "you" specifically drooled or did I say "some" of you. There you go again....assuming and putting words in my mouth. |
