President Obama rejected on Kiss Cam, gets redemption
President Obama was booed at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. on Monday night after First Lady Michelle Obama rejected him for a kiss when the two were featured on the arena's "Kiss Cam."
The couple was in attendance for the U.S. men's and women's basketball teams' games against Brazil. President Obama seemed to lean in for a kiss, but the crowd began booing after the First Lady denied him.
Luckily President Obama got a chance for redemption.
About an hour later when the game was in the fourth quarter, the two were shown on the Kiss Cam again and the president was tipped off by daughter Malia, who was sitting next to him. This time he got a kiss:

Great success! They didn't exactly go all crazy sucking face like Georgia coach Mark Richt and his wife, but it was still a strong showing. Besides, President Obama has nothing to worry about -- we've seen much more embarrassing stunts on kiss cams before.

Maybe we can retire him this November, this way he can play another 100 rounds of golf, and go to as many other games as he wants.

Why are you called an instant racists by you two faced Liberals for seeing this Lazy Buffoon of a President for what he is . Remember how you ignorant Libbie,s Ripped Bush apart daily. ? Now is my comment racists? I think not! Just true, And ain't it the awful truth?
-
TimCo1, pretty pitiful isn't it? Just because you don't like the horrid job Pres. Obama has done makes you a racist huh? Like you said, it's ok to bash Bush for the wreck he caused but say no wrong to Obama, I find that pitifully stupid.
-
Obama 2012
-
Hurricane Bush-Cheney has no comparison in American history.It wins the gold medal for unmitigated disastor.
-
I agree TimCo1. Seems like when someone nails it right on the head, the only response they can come up with is the racist thing. Sad and ignorant of what's happening to our country.

I don't think you're called a racist because you hate the job President Obama is doing. You're called a racist because that's what you are. I hate the job lots of politicians, but I don't hate them because of it. I don't resort to name calling because of it. What you say about others reveals nothing about their character, but reveals much about your own or the lack thereof. This country is known the world for its racial intolerance. Travel anywhere in the world and that's one of the questions they ask. Are white Americans really as racist as they appear to be? the answer is a resounding "YES" some of them are. Not all of course.
-
Funny you call me a racist considering I voted for him. Kinda kills your argument. I don't like him cause he's done nothing good for us, not cause of his race. So grow up and stop being a troll. Stop pretending you know anything about me.
-
Right on. He never had the experience to run this country. He also was not a good senator because he missed 135 days. He is the mistake of 2008 and I read him like a book without the cover. What happened to the so called educated college students that they couldnt read him. He is not black but Mulatto. I am votin for Rommney who can change this country back to normal.
-
Stop! you did not vote for him. If you did, what you texted above would of said something else.
Obama, did not stand a chance. Once he became president the devils showed how powerful they are. Partly or mostly because of his race. Those GOP (racst pigs) plan it from the begining. Make him look bad! They did it! He could of did so much more for the country but the devils would not let him. I have never seem a president disrespected before until him.
As much as i would like to see him fight and serve another term the counrty is going to get worst. GOP will not let him do what is best for the country. They want and have control now so any one not white or rich can just forget it. The poor is going to remain poor. The middle class is going to keep paying a lot of taxes. The rich is going to get richer. GOP don't have the money they use to have. They are close to jumping off a bridge right now.
Most white people are funy. You guys want a white president so badly but what have they really done for you. Most white people are on welfare. It has not changed it has became worst. GOP could care less about you. they care about their pockets. This will probably be the only president that tried to help all people of all races. you could never say he was racist. You may not agreed with him on everything but who say the way the GOP is going to run the country is going to be any better. Gop is more busines type of party for the rich. DEMS more for the needy. what should of happened, both parties should of got together and came up with something that can help all people. GOP don't want that.
Obama is an intelligent man, yes! It is bull ****, everything he did was negative. Lazy, you try running the country, deal with racism, get disrespected at meeting, etc. You would need to go golfing too. Go to a ball game or have some entertainment come to your home.
All you negative people need to STFU!!!!!!
-
First off, Europeans and Middle Easterners are the most blatant racists in the world. Even in Canada racism is everywhere. A black man once said that he spent time in a Canadian prison and it was the worst prison he had ever been in due to the French speaking inmates beating the hell out of him everyday due to his race. Do not pretend like the US has a monopoly on racism. Also do not tell us how enlightened northerners are compared to southerners concerning racism. Now how can you determine who is truly a racist on this thread? You cannot because simply criticising Obama's policies is not racist. Pulling the race card everytime someone criticises him is the truly racist act. And calling people racist simply because they are white is not only stupid it is RACIST!!!! Yes you can be black and be a racist. So please STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Getting 96% of the vote of a particular race is not Racist ? LMFAO
-
No you are wrong there are other responses like LOOSER !!! the man in the White House for another 4 years !!! you are the one that is ignoring the facts the the mess we are in is due to the GOP.
-
Are you stupid or what?
Both Bush and Obama NEITHER EVER had a real job!
Everything was handed to BOTH of the them.. I you are too
bling and ignorant to comprehend real facts.. then I feel very sorry for you!
Obama has done NOTHING that he promised... has done EXACTLY the opposite of his promises! The debt has doubled! His Keneysian economics are a disaster of epic proportions!
I suggest you stop drinking the koolaide! -
He has done nohing because he doesn''t know how. College did nothing for him. Rezko gave him the money to buy his home he turned his back on him. I believe him to be born in Kenya and his mother called her doctor in Hawaii to issue his birth certificate because he was raised in Kenya and his father registered him in the Muslim school at age 2. The Federal Government doesn't want to check it out because they are sissies. And if you don't like someone's race you don't have to. That is not racist. Many blacks do not like whites either. Just listen to Obama's former pastor who is anti-american and a white hater. Obama went to that church for 20 years and you people voted him in office. Well, I don't care about the economy or that people are out of work. You got what you voted for.
-
I also suggest English grammar and spelling classes while you're at it! It's 'loser'... not looser!
-
I agree with one thing -- you and your type are "sad and igorant"
-
Yep -- you good old boys are right -- Gotta call a "spade" a spade" Upply "boy" don't know his place -- all that book leanng and talking like he is a man or somthing .. how he think he be -- white?!
-
I so agree!! Am so sick and tired of people spouting off that your racist if you say anything even remotely negative about Obama!!!! I was a registered DEM and I didn't vote for him. I didn't like him from the first few times I saw him speak. NOT because of color!!! BEcause he was so arrogant, so inisting that he was so far superior from the other candidates, knew more, deserved it more etc.. I didn't beleive his hype about all the change and hope, everything tha he was going to do better etc..Was not impressed with him dumping the church he went to for so long when it became controversial. I didn't expect much from him and I guess I have to say he certainly didn't let me down!!!
-
You don't sound logical ........ "Insisting that he was so far superior than the other candidates" ........... Ummmmm ...... What should he have done ? Say "Hey look world .... we are all just about the same up here ..... but I really want you to vote for me because I need a chance at life ...... No there is no difference between us , and I am not better than these guys ..... but I really need a job ...... so please vote for me ." That would be rather idiotic .....
-
LOL, i like that!
-
See is this is "logical" to you. Obama had no wordly experience, he was a community organizer, which means tax dollars are used to provide activities and help for those who live on welfare and food stamps. I'm not a Democrat but I would have voted for Hillary Clinton because she is exprienced, she knows how the rest of the world acts and reacts, one smart lady. Obama is an arrogant man, his wife said she was never "proud" to be an American. She is highhly educated, has had a couple of great careers, and she's "not proud?" WE need someone with exprience, worldly experience, business experience and experience in dealing with people. Obama has none of these qualities. ANd, by the way, the McCain/Palin ticket was a disaster from the start. Arrogance is never a good quality for anyone, except maybe in sports.
-
Nothing should be about color, it should be about ability, about preformance, about accomplishments, trust, intregity...when we quite looking at the outter and look at the real character of a man, maybe things will be idfferent....for example some say Jesus (Y'shua) was white, some say black he was Jew...bottom line is HE WAS and he had a chrisima (whether you believe in him or not) that no man has yet to have. Until then we will have COLOR.
-
This lazy buffoon as you called is our president now and for sure in 2012 and because of him I was able to have access to health care due to the law he passed in 2010 Affordable Health Care Act !!!
-
Of course you ALWAYS had the option of Health Care...you could have BOUGHT IT like the rest of us. When did Health Care become a 'right'? Idiot.
-
Wow1 i thought this site was about sports!?
-
You are able to have access to Health Care due to a law that hasn't even taken effect yet?
-
TimCo1 what is Lazy and Buffonery about the President? Seems ignorant to call someone that since that would imply that he hasn't done anything negative or positive. You seem to think that he's done quite a bit with passing the stimulus to stop the financial meltdown, and loaning money to the auto industry so it wouldn't fail, then theres that Affordable Care Act that got passed (modeled after Romney's Massachusetts healthcare plan, and he said so himself with it got passed, lol), that the Surpreme Court upheld, ended the war in Iraq, killed Osama Bin Laden and many other Al Qaida leaders, passed legislation to stimulate business growth even though the global economy issues outside of America are slowing that progress, should I go on?
-
Google Youtube: Andrea Mitchell and John Sununu's interview about 'outsourcing'...
Our 'OUTSOURCER' in chief Obama used a ton of the stimulus money that was supposed to create jobs here...
Obama created LOTS of jobs overseas ... hypocrite!
You libtards.... get your facts straight .... I dare ya's! -
Hate to burst your bubble but the reason companies moved overseas was because there is cheaper labor over there. Like when Mitt ran Bain capitol, he ran the "Sports Authority" which sold shoes made in China and had customer service in India. He could have sold American made shoes but then he couldn't afford all his houses and Bentleys.
-
Please you need to recognize this man as the Commander in Chief. He was the one who gave the order to kill Bin Laden. D'ont hate,appreciate !
-
Most of the comments are are Tea party sound bites and lies againist the most intelligent,most hardworking and greatest president of the USA!Calling the president "a lazy buffoon" is speaking foolishness,plain and simple.It is the shallow and narrow minded view of a typical ill educated right winger(no GED perhaps)Which rock have you been living under for the last 20 or so years.Stop the lies.Romney is a worse lair than Sarah palin and he calls himeself a christian( cult) that washes dead bodies in weird rituals.
-
Your spelling and punctualtion is horrendous! Where's your GED?
lair... liar
palin... Palin
himeself....himself
weird.... wierd -
I agree. How exactly is he "lazy"? Why? Becuase he is not diggiinf a ditch or doing hard labor somehwere (like othes of his "type"?) -- He does not "know his place"?? -- These words are the ones that suggest a "racist" tone Here, peole! He works just as much time as Presient Bush did before him (if not more) -- whether you approve of what he does or the results is a wholey different matte. What exatly did he do to you personally?!r
-
Because your words are in fact racist!
-
then u must be from the Bible Belt
-
We do pay...he gets his retirement from the government pay, although politicians do not pay into SS System.
-
He has done more for the working class than the Bushes ever did !!
OBAMA 2012 -
Seriously? Ohh you mean given more hand outs and reasons to stay unemployed. I get it.
-
Right, 'cause that $410 a week (if you are lucky and @ the top end of the rate) is going to make you rich! Why should anyone get a job (if the "Job Creators" were actually "create any --in this country. It is amzing that so many of your here know nothing about the facts -- but are so happy to share you lack of education with everyone!!!
-
Since when is the government suppose to make jobs? This is a right wing illusion to skirt the real issues.
-
You obviously have your head in the sand. There is a huge population of citizens that would rather take that $410 a week or less for as long as they can get it for FREE. Not have to get up and go to work. Stay at home and do nothing for as long as the ride lasts. My brother inlaw lived with me for 6 months. I didnt ask for any rent due to the fact that he let me live with him years ago while I got moved. He received that $410 a week, $1640 a month, the entire time. I asked him if he was able to find a a job on several occasions and was told "Why? I'd have to find something that paid $15 dollars an hour or more to make it worth my while". It isnt about getting Rich its about being lazy and wanting to be supported by others while doing nothing. BTW 2 weeks after his unemployment ran out he found a job making 50K a year as a supervisor. It wasnt that he couldnt he simply didnt want to.
-
You must have a good job! How is it a hand out? Some human being lost their job special! It is not easy finding another one. So, **** them! Let their family starve. If someone lost their job and they have been working for years. They should recieve some help. All the taxes they paid. Maybe you should lose your job and struggle. Someonespeical, you really are special!

I agree ! I have never seen so much anger towards a president until President Barack Obama has taken office. This is the reason why so many views are seen as racist, although they may not clearly be but he is quite a conversation peice. Hopefully when he is relected that most of the conservatives and tea party members and whatever other group thats out there will finally give him the respect that he deservse. And he will win this next election.
-
If you drive a Chevy you need to thank this Pres. Replubicans wanted to let Chevy Fail,Replubicans also promised more jobs if we put them back in control no jobs yet,and last but not least don't ever lose your job,repel Obama care,wake up from the lies floating across this country,if the economy was so bad you would not be posting ads on here.Wake up is it the economy or is it the so calld color of the man that has created more than 450 million jobs since 2008,no buildings are being blown up or down by foreign threats or no threats of anykind, wake before it is too late,when you put Romney in office you better start bck running and hiding.Thans about it why can't Romney attack the man but only attack the economy no President is responsible for hiring or finding you a job go out and find success yourself.
-
450 million jobs? To who? the highest unemployment rate during Bush's term was 6.3%. Obama's was 10%. Thats the highest unemployment rate since 1982. Only Romney can attack? Show me one campaign add Obama has put out that says what he plans to due policy wise thats different from Romney and will result in a better economy? What specifically has Obama done in the last 4 years to help the economy? Dont throw out random claims show me facts. Fact is all his campaign adds deal with a company Romney worked for in the 90's. Every one is an attack add that only claims what Romney did and that Obama is somehow better. Yet in none of the adds does Obama tell us what his policies will be that would prevent this. Lastly if you drive a Chevy you should thank the Chinese.
-
If you cut "public sector" jobs --as so many want -- does that not result in more unemployed people? Yo can not have t both ways -- more biusness making more untaxed profits while ess people working or working for less money does not help the economy -- more tax-paying Americnas working will help. Cut all programs -- except the ones YOU benfit from!!?
-
OBAMA 2012
-
Problem is that there are too many people that believe One side is better than the other. The spirit of competition I guess, however, the sooner we realize that NO MATTER WHICH SIDE WE VOTE INTO OFFICE, (if our votes even really matter) all we are doing is voting in a wealthy individual whose Ivy League education cost more than I will make in a decade! They are members of some secret club and they are just tickling our ears to get into office and do whatever they want once they get there! Bush plays golf, so did Clinton, so does Obama. They all go on vacations more than I do, and we are ALL PAYING FOR IT! Where is the teamwork of the AMERICAN PEOPLE??? No race, MULTI Colored, INDIVIDUAL YET TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!!!
-
The Presidet did not get a kiss- so big deal! Why is it so neccessary to attack the elected president t of the U.S. here? This is a sports site -- not a right-wing blog! I too am disppointment he has not done more to fix the mess that was left behinnd by GW Bush -- but Just because you might not jhave voted for him does not mean he was not elected by the majority of the Americna people -- Just like any other poltication before him.. Making negative remarks about Obama does not make you racist --making mean-spiried, dumb racist remarks does! Don't want to vote for him (again) -- that is your personal right -- but you really should have a better choice! Replacing a rooster in the hen house who is not producting up t your expectation with a FOX will not fix yoour prbblem -- he will appreciate the opportunity -- but you wont like the ned results!
-
Don't pay attention to these deliberately spelling, grammar, and intellect challenged voices that are all over the internet. Do you think the parasite neocons have neglected to insert negative messages in every communications channel they can access? These are paid political hatchet people whose only employment is to cruise the internet and look for any opportunity to influence otherwise empty minds with poison. That's why they all sound the same. And usually they use poor grammar and spelling deliberately because that is their opinion of Americans, they think such ignorance will be more reflective of REAL Americans and more convincing to the couch potatoes. Also, remember that this is fox 'news', the most politically biased and dishonest forum in all of our corrupt media. I'm no Obama fan. Ron Paul is my choice [Hang the Fed!!] but this kind of hidden poison is not how we want our country to be run. Out.

-
I'm surprised the woman even wants to plant her lips on the jug-earred failure's!
-
Don't you have anything better to do? At least try growing up.
-
This First Couple for sure are having sex in the White House they look at each other with the passion any normal couple will do if they frequently have satisfying sex, but I am sure you just don't know what it is I mean other than alone ;)
-
Thanks for proving you are NOT a racist! So how is it under that rock????

I'm pretty sure the people at the game wanted them to kiss...and he still tries to deal with stupid people...like you! Maybe if we all become terrified enough of what might happen if your type gets elected, we might get a clue and vote. We will be able to clean house and senate and get rid of all of the skewed freaks such as yourselves. Eventually people seem to understand that all they care about is protecting the assets of wealthy people. I wouldn't mind my taxes being raised to feed our people, care for our children/elderly, and above all, care for ALL of our veterans. And people like you will still be doing everything you can to make it as hard as possible for good people to get good things done. He is our President, regardless of what side you take. The office deserves respect along with the man. Why do his opponents have nothing to say except 'he wasn't born here, he's a communist...do you know what communist means? Fake? There seems to be a big difference between the overzealous, righteous, pompous asses in govt.,the Republican candidate, and the concern of the First Lady and President Obama. Open your eyes. Stupidity is an ugly disease that will get you nowhere.
-
Pussycat, just because people don't like Pres. Obama, doesn't make them racist you know. However, saying disrespectful names and little phrases are very juvenile and immature in my opinion.
-
Nicktaber the mayority of the ones that criticizes are full blown racist the others are bigots LOL
-
Pussycat -- you are correct --But unfortunately you can not educate folks who do not even realize they are uneducated. The truth and facts mean nothing to them! Sad, but all too true. They get their "facts" from FOX (not the real) news -- and belivre whatevet "hate" is feed them -- and do not consider the source of this "informatin" and what theone providing it have to gain by spreading misinformation.
-
Wow...Bin Laden attacks us! Bush.."damn him...lets start a war in Iraq"?????
-
Hey lets evolve, I got something Barry can kiss on' The Kiss Cam' and it ain't my elbow! P.S. This comment is not racists either STUPID.
-
He might not be racist ......... He might just be stupid . You know there is a lot more stupidity going around than there is racism these days.
-
MONKEY I see this is not a racist comment …..
-
these moron republicans can't think of anything intelligent to say so they resort to making sexual insinuations about our president, when that's all he did was kiss his wife IDIOT!
-
He should of taken Eric to the game. :)
-
Come on! First, this is not 'NEWS,' this is 'FEATURES.' I go to News I want NEWS. I want objective news do I have to go to Reuters for it? I can get all of this stuff I can stand on TMZ and ET. Second, We're in the middle of a (prolonged) election campaign, for crying out loud, and you're giving one candidate all this free 'face time.' I don't see any features on Romney and his wife! Talk about not-so-subtle bias!
-
nobmaever and others with nasty comments are just jealous of been governed by a black man. that is the bottomline. He will serve his secound term and a Latino woman will be the next president haha!! jealousies.
-
Think you sound alot more racists tham the people folks like you say are racists!!! I don' tlike Obama, I don't trust him, don't beleive he has done a good job, don't want him as pres for four more years. It DOESNT have a damn thing to do with his color. And he is half white!!!! IF a latino woman is qualified and believes that she is 1ST and foremost an American citizen representing ALL Americans of every race, creed, color, religion etc,, THEN BRING HER ON!!! IF I believe in hr politicsw etc.. then I will vote for her. Having said that I am sick of this attitude that seems to be becoming more pervasive that Latinos are taking back America, that soon white will be a minority and then will be discriminated against etc.. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS 1ST AND FOREMOST!!!!

Who's calling people racists ? Maybe I missed a post . Race doesn't have to do with anything with some people , and race has to do with the majority of the dislike people have for Obama with other people .....
-
People need to understand that disliking a president is acceptable. This is America. Alot of people disliked Bush and that was ok but dislike a president who happens to be black, and your a racist. Kind of seems like a double standard to me, you know?
-
Its an unfortunate double standard that helps no one and only furthers the divide. I hate the race card when its used inappropriately.........becuz when it is warranted, it will begin to fall on deaf ears. Its the cry wolf syndrome. But the reality is for every 3 very intelligent comments that will question his job performance, U will have one thinly veiled racist remark from some douche that sneaks in the convo that will completely throw off what could be valid dialogue.
-
Isn't that nice. They look so happy................................................................while the country falls down around them.

So you think that all of the things that are going on with our country are because President Obama took office? Lets discuss all of your talking points. Unemployment was at 13% prior to him taking office, taxes haven't been raised over the past 10 years even though we were in the midst of 2 unnecessary wars, inflation is a direct result of a global economy meltdown started by greed in the financial sector, foreclosures were already happening because of the mortgage crisis with the lenders selling credit default swaps that had no financial backing, and many loans were for homes that had appraisel values higher then the actual market leading people to think they were house rich until the bubble burst and they found themselves upside down on their mortgage, and lets talk about the ACA (not Obamacare) that was passed by the House and Senate and presented to the President to sign and has been upheld by the Supreme Court. The reality of that is that it is actually going to bring down the deficit not raise it as the scareticians would have you to believe, since it appears you've already bitten the apple of it's gonna affect me, lol!!! Get a grip cause you and I both know you not making $250,000 a year cause if you were you wouldn't be posting on a blog you'd be out enjoying your life. So tell me what do you think that he or anyone can do to help this situation that is actually a global issue not just a United States issue?
-
So you seem to think that he's done a poor job with passing the stimulus to stop the financial meltdown, and loaning money to the auto industry so it wouldn't fail, then theres that Affordable Care Act that got passed (modeled after Romney's Massachusetts healthcare plan, and he said so himself with it got passed, lol), that the Surpreme Court upheld, ended the war in Iraq, killed Osama Bin Laden and many other Al Qaida leaders, passed legislation to stimulate business growth even though the global economy issues outside of America are slowing that progress, should I go on?
-
Yes go on and on and on . You will still have your head in the sand. The man as a leader has gone nowhere. All his glory has been on the backs of other people. He is no better than his speech writer and telepromter. Maybe we should elect his speech writer.
-
White.....black....I dont care what color the President is. Critique him on his policies or disagreeing with his job performances...hey its part of the territory. All presidents gonna get lit up by one side or another.......but get an F-ing life when U start going in on the dude for being a USA Olympic game and joining in a lil' fun like the every fan that goes to a basketball game. Country has been screwed up for quite sometime.......a few hours out of the day is not gonna make or break us. Get real and piss & moan about some real issues.
-
Dude trust me.......had he not been at the game, while U woulda been happy with his shunning of a bit of downtime to see the Olympic team......someone else would be posting in ur place digging in his s%^t about him NOT attending the game, and probably a subsequent rant about him being unAmerican, It is what it is nonetheless. Even in the midst of a "crisis", as it were.....U would be hard pressed to find any President that didnt make public appearances. Its just part of the job.....and a catch 22 pretty much. If he holes up and "hides" until things are fixed....he's gonna get nailed by some saying "oh..he's ashamed to show his face becuz he F-ing up and cant face the American people!".....on the other hand, if he shows up to event(s), we get the other side saying "why isnt he holed up somewhere doing his job instead of parading around?!"
-
byebyeObama; His problem has been a Repub contolled HOR that has done everything it can to make him look bad. You gotta remember it was GWB and gang that got the US into the war in Iraq, and after the Repub controlled congress approved his tax cuts. If the Congress had said, okay we need to pay for this war so we'll bring those taxes back the country wouldn't have been in as bad a shape financially as it is. Bonehead Boehner and his tea-party Repubs can't see that though.
-
He had BOTH the House and Senate for the first 2 years...Democrat controlled...and what did you get? A year's fight over a Health Care plan that the 'majority' disagree with and that's GREATLY affected the number of JOBS available now and in the future. Please...when does the Bush whining stop and you take responsibility for being in charge NOW.
-
Amen Wilbur. Bush ended all vacations as long as we had boys in Iran. This country has been in a deep funk since Barry took over. Wan to get things going again? Elect anyone but Barry. Millions are waiting to see who wins in November. The no confidence vote is out on obama. Anyone else would bring the country back because it's not the polititions place to help the economy. It's the peoples. Even if you like the guy, nothings going to happen good until he's gone.
-
Do they know how to work out the problems? Does anyone know how to work out the problems? Yet you are right...let's focus on what is important!
-
byebyObama what has President Obama not done that he should be doing? I hear many of you speaking of him doing a "piss poor" job but yet you don't point out where he's failing? Would love to hear what he should be doing that you think he's hasn't
-
While Americans suffer ... unemployment, higher taxes, inflation, foreclosures, inability to sell their houses, the threat of Obamacare, etc. That photograph of the Obamas - is absolutely disgusting!
-
HavredeGrace so you think that all of the things you mentioned happened because President Obama took office? Lets discuss all of your talking points.

@ HavredeGrace:
Where were you three years.. Things are actually alot better..but people like you can not admit that
and the threat of Obama care..
What threat ...that people that don't have insurance will get some..Those same people now are still going to emergncy room and many die becuase they are afriad of cost. Let's see, when Bush started these two wars.. I did not hear anyone complain about deficit and not being able to pay for things. Obama is fxing the mess Busg started, and trust me , he will win...

Politicians need to be careful when kissing in public. It didn't help Al and Tipper.

If the house of representative would get off their do nothing A__ and do the job we sent them to Washington to do we would be a better country. Keep talking about repealing OBAMACARE and not doing anything else but getting FAT and helping their friends become more FAT CATS. Do the job you were sent to do is better the economy and stop all this bashing of President Obama.

What I find sad is that people don't think about the fact that no matter what color a president is and what he/she hopes to accomplish in the White House, there has to be support from the Senate and the House. No one can do anything alone. In the case of President Obama, wasn't there a bill he wanted to pass (that was initiated by the Republicans in the previous term) that was voted against once presented by our current president? I am not pulling a race card, I just want everyone to think about the fact that it is not President Obama who has runined a country. Our country has been going down for years. We are at the point now where many more people are affected so it's a real issue now. Shame on you! When those who had little were affected, not many cared, now that the middle and upper middle class are being affected it's a BIG deal.
What I don't understand is if we are Americans - all in this together - why is it so hard for the wealthy to pay more into the tax base. If Warren Buffet can complain that he doesn't pay enough tax, why can't others support the efforts of President Obama to raise those taxes. Instead, it's okay to continue to pressure the middle class for more support.
I believe our country is so hated because we are greedy, prejudice, and selfish. When we should be grateful for all we do have. When we see people who are suffering, maybe begging, remember, but by the grace of God, it could be you. Be thankful that it's not and don't ignore those who are down and out. Would it kill you to buy them something to eat? At least that way, we know where the money is going. President Obama ran his campaign on "WE can do it". What have you done since his term began? Have you done more than complain?
