Earth Shattering Breaking News ! Right-Wing Blogosphere Ablaze ! The tide has turned for a big 2012 GOP / Tea Bag presdential win ! Greatest Discovery ! ~ 1990 Obama interview ~ Obama Hates America ! *Breaking* Face It, He Hates You … Obama in 1990~ *We’re Going to Reshape ‘Mean-Spirited’ and Selfish America* http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...to-reshape-mean-spirited-and-selfish-america/ From Maddow Blog ~ 'Less mean-spirited and more generous' http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/16/10716627-less-mean-spirited-and-more-generous Last week, quite a few conservative detractors of President Obama thought they'd uncovered a major story ~ 22 years ago, Obama hugged a Harvard Law professor at a pro-affirmative action rally. Alas, the story was a dud, and the "controversy" quickly faded into obscurity. But don't worry, some of these same critics of the president have a new outrage, intended to shock and appall decent people everywhere. Apparently, in 1990, Obama told the Illinois Daily Herald, "Hopefully, more and more people will begin to feel their story is somehow part of this larger story of how we're going to reshape America in a way that is less mean-spirited and more generous." Is that it? Yep, that's the whole story, such as it is. From this quote, one prominent right-wing site told readers about Obama, "Face it, he hates you." Apparently, those who want a less mean-spirited and more generous country should be assumed to hate America. My reaction upon reading the right's take on this was identical to that of No More Mister Nice Blog's Steve M., who also recalled a speech from two years prior, calling for a "greater tolerance" in America, and a "kinder, gentler nation." The speaker was George H.W. Bush, and the venue was the 1988 Republican National Convention. (Video Inside) Steve M. added, "[N]ow that I think about it, 'a kinder and gentler nation' is pretty much the same thing as a nation that's 'less mean-spirited and more generous,' isn't it? " Actually, yes, it is. Frankly, the hug was more interesting. I can appreciate why conservatives are eager to undermine Obama in an election year, but this latest effort is woefully weak. That the right is still digging through old newspaper clippings, looking for damaging quotes from a college student more than two decades ago, is just kind of sad. Barack Obama 1990 Interview: Harvard student tackles racism at it’s core via Ironic Surrealism ~
Desperation makes some people do such idiotic things! This "discovery" is almost funnier than the last!
Let's see the rest of the "Obama tackles racism" article. Not just the part that is bubbled into view. No one needs to be "generous." People need to stand on their own, especially considering the levels of debt he's committed us to. Not all of us were beggars and we don't appreciate paying for it. Just from that one quote, he's exposed himself as a typical expressions like that do not promote respectful debate please refrain from using them or have your posts deleted or edited who does not value personal responsibility.
Like the Right-***** showed us with a couple $trillion bailout for the banking system that coincidentally saved a big part of their OWN stock values and investments? In fact, All of the expressions like that do not promote respectful debate please refrain from using them or have your posts deleted or edited are "beggars" who take NO personal responsibility AT ALL! Suddenly, NOW its time to "shut off the government spigot!" Now that the stock market and bank accounts are bailed out, everyone ELSE in the country can just go to the gutters!
