America may see Obama's face...What does the world see?


Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. -
The quote at the bottom of the picture. From A course in miracles.


It is so interesting as to the blatant vitriol that has come out since Obama has been ELECTED president. It has worn the mask of a group of people that proclaim their patriotism, that is being placed in question due to one thing…his face.
You see his face is that of a black man, not biracial, not a descendant of a Kenyan, but that of a black man. To a small percentage of Americans, that is a horrible thing!
Actual quote from the patriots...


Hatred, is what brought this country to being.


Obama has opened that whole black issue again and set us back 50 years or more!


And Obama is not the President, it is Pelosi incognito!


Osama/Obama is the same, the only difference is the B and the S.


His wife is not proud of her country until her husband gets to be a presidential nominee!


Well, well. It is time to bring up something that has not been spoken…image.
Yes America, the world is looking at your image. You know the one that is post-racial, but lacks the racial sensitivity to know that a cartoon of a bullet-ridden monkey is inappropriate. The fact that you called a black man a terrorist, not just any terrorist, but the boogeyman of terrorist. The fact that our President's citizenship is being questioned, but the previous administration put America and its citizens on EBay to fund a war that was created on the foundation of fear and deception. There are a lot of countries that have questioned our moral high ground in the past, but now we are giving credence to the accusation.


I have fondly enjoyed the “America-love it or leave it” attitude that is the theme song playing in our country. But when it comes to wage increases for our "public-servants" in comparison to what the working class has received in the past 25 years is astonishing. No worries, Your government cares right? Senators and congressmen get increases as often as a MLB player get HGH.
We lack health care, a progressive educational system, and our infrastructure…let’s just say it SUCKS! But America has played partisan politics and attacked countries that couldn’t pull off 9/11 if they had Timothy McVeigh as the mastermind.


And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse…the economy went to crap. The banks are getting bailed out and we are taking the blame as well as picking up the tab. That’s right it is Americans fault…we got loans from banks by deception, right? I find this relatively amusing...
Don’t worry we can do whatever we want…we are America! We can owe other countries billions, they will get the money when we get it. They will never call in the markers. Our image is great…we won WW2 remember…resting on your laurels much?


Well as our government plays footsie with our economic future, a subset of White America is having a damn fit over a “black man” being president, its like a child being told it may have been the first born but its no longer the favorite. Well you know what that means...CLEAN UP IN AMERICA! The big baby is getting louder and louder...but the world is watching our fits! Makes the "democracy" stance we try to project look like a hypocrisy stance. Know this...the smart part America is not the only group fearing an assassination attempt...the world is watching our next move.
Lets not forget playing war with our soldiers as if it’s a video game. I wonder how long will it be before some other country decide to play along and becomes Joshua the next time we want to play the “global police”.


I know that Ron Paul is sometimes suspect but, what he says is correct....America needs to move out of its empirical stance and leave other countries alone. In the end, America looks like occupational bullies to the rest of the world…we've become Russia with a better propaganda machine. Taking this "Big Brother" stance on the world stage is not working and partisan, class, or racial blame is not a solution.


As for me…I'm Ice-T at the end of New Jack City…As for America...oh well...the world is watching…I would love to know what they see.

We all talk about the goverment raising their wages and not the public-servants but what can we as "the people" do about it? Is ther a small wedge we can put between the goverment and the good people that work hard for their money and do right by the good of all evils..There has to be something that can be done but what?? If there is anyone that can pull together anything to hurt the goverment in their pockets as they do to us everyday. please send the word out.I would knock on doors and ride to let everyone know. We as a community can't give in but as the "gas stations" banks, credit card companeys have us by the wallet, we as hard working people need to do something just anything.Are we as AMERICANS to proud to stand for what is right!! Or are we just to tierd of the same run around.....
