Freeper brilliance on Obama chastising the SCOTUS
"The man has almost no experience in the law arena, other than showing up at Harvard. What arrogance."

I guess all of those years of our president being a constitutional scholar and law review editor never happened.

1. That's not the point. The use of the word "arrogance" says it all. nt

6. I interpret to be that they still can't stomach the idea of a Black man being POTUS.

Edit to add that I don't think any amount of experience would qualify him in their eyes. Because he's Black.

27. I think some of them still can't get past "Hussein"
To them that's a dirty, evil name because the only other Hussein they've ever heard of was Saddam Hussein. So just by the coincidence of Obama also having that as part of his name they declare him an evil Muslin (sic).

22. That's how I read it too.
Edited on Thu Jan-28-10 03:48 AM by JoeyT
They think all liberals are arrogant. After all, we think we're better informed than they are.
Explaining that we actually *are* better informed than they are just pisses them off.

I read the freeper's comment as meaning: "I'm happy being pig ignorant and I demand everyone else be as ignorant as I am."

23. Yup.......
can't have that "arrogant" Black man tell WHITE PEOPLE what's best for them. :eyes: Racism is still alive and well in this country. Well, for a certain faction, anyway. I'm hoping that faction continues to shrink to the point where - to quote William Crystal -, "it can be drowned in a bathtub". ;)

12. Arrogant--it's one of their most favorite words to bash him with. Funny they never noticed W's
arrogance. I guess arrogance with ignorance is OK.

18. Yep. On top of being more stupid than potting soil, they're also racist @ssholes.
It must just about kill them to see a brilliant black man leading this country.

knuckle-dragging

two-fingers-worth-of-forehead-having

mouth-breathing

gray matter impaired

etc.

8. like any of those
idiots ever showed up at Harvard. But what more can I expect from a group who thinks that going to 5 colleges and taking six years to graduate with a BA in Communications is their savior?


Good grief, can these people get any more intellectually bankrupt?

11. the fate of our nation is in OUR hands...
Harvard law, man of the people-- not democrat, nor republican. Not liberal or conservative, just a centrist, in the truest sense of the word; the man has not wavered on where he says he comes from, and I would say that this speaks volumes to his consistency. I'm sure there are corporatist lackeys in both parties, mucking it up with the reputation and financial power that they wield. But you know what? WE can take that power, by not being afraid. The devil cant buy you if you're not for sale. We the people might not have the political clout, or the ridiculous gobs of money they do. But we do have our voice. And together, that voice is louder than any corporation or group of corporations. We are the people, and to back up this Ideal from the very bottom-- the framers, the plumbers, the painters, the domestic call center agents, the dot commers, the restaurant workers, and everybody whom this nation thrives because of --is what we need. This ideal, that we, the people, (this includes everyone, the little & big guys and gals)can make a difference. Organize, get together and talk about what we can do to back up what Obama talked about tonight. We cannot expect him to just fix it for us, it will take participation from everyone. Its somewhat akin to making a little kid clean up their messy room: you cant do it for them, (talking about the culprits here) you have to make them participate, but you gotta help them so they know they're not alone. With the love and understanding they were unprepared to give us. We have to be the bigger people.

So freepers, teapartiers, neocons, and corporatist, republicans, democrats, liberals, libertarians and anyone else with EARS TO HEAR, hear me: ITS TIME TO GROW UP AND WORK TOGETHER TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS CALLED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

I love you all, simply by virtue of the fact that you're here, now. Let's get this done.

When you can show me where a Corporation signed the Constitution, show me that John Hancock, I will regard the fuckers as "PERSONS" otherwise-Screw the USSC decision. Epic Fail.


I totally agreed with the President, and grateful he speaks for the American PEOPLE.

20. "Showing up at Harvard"
Wouldn't surprise me if that was some kind of affirmative action comment.

26. Well, he was an Illionis state senator, and a U.S. Senator, two jobs that are LAWMAKER jobs,
Given that, I don't see how "The man has almost no experience in the law arena" is true at all.
