It's a shame that your final blog post was of one black man criticizing another black man for something as petty as the way the man speaks.</i><br /><br />I disagree. Words are powerful. It's not an accident that there no "chiefs" in europe. Nor are there any "jungles" or "huts". Think about it, and you'll see how words have been used to colonize. How they've been used to belittle. And how they been used to erase history.<br /><br />Anyway, I believe all Americans have the right to criticize our president. Just because someone has a D next to their name doesn't mean those of us on the left can't hold them accountable.<br /><br />Also, "all your skin folk ain't you're kin folk" -- case in point Justice Clarence Thomas. Let's not say Obama's race makes it wrong for other blacks to criticize him. The idea is absurd.<br /><br />RIP Undercover Black Man. I never came to your blog before today.

I never knew he was black until I read it - but I've known his work for years. Isn't that how it should be?<br /><br />Every word of every sentence of every phrase Mr. Obabma utters is thought about, vetted, considered and vetoed. If he were in a lesser office, there could be question about whether he speaks for himself of the American people. When you're the most powerful person on the planet, there should be little doubt about whom you represent.<br /><br />It is also certain that everything Mr. Obama does is amplified by race, and there is no doubt he can never be undercover about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-40103590414443432152010-03-31T22:48:33.314-07:002010-03-31T22:48:33.314-07:00RIP.

He is the president of a country that has factions that are constantly at odds with each other with him in the middle. You said there are two factions of electorate, pro-Obama and teabaggers. But there three: those who think he's not doing enough no matter what Leftist, those who think he's doing too much no matter what teabaggers, and those in the middle who want to believe he's doing the right thing, but need to be given assurance of it. To that group, he tells what he is doing so that they are comfortable with his decisions. The American people didn't send troops to Iraq... Bush did, and then he explained why he did it. Every president does it. They have to.<br /><br />As far as feeling anguish, if he didn't I wouldn't want him to be president. I live near Ft Bragg, and a few years ago I taught an eighth grade class. Many of the students (half of the girls) in my homeroom had fathers who were deployed at the same time. I had to teach about Ann Frank to those kids, who were afraid they would find out their father was dead when they got home each day. What did they feel? Anguish. What did I feel for them? Anguish. If the man who sends peoples' children, parents, siblings, mentors, etc. off to die for their country doesn't feel anguish in doing it, he isn't fit to lead. I hate war, and I want to know my president feels anguish over sending people to die. <br /><br />I understand what your saying about too many I's, but the president doesn't represent the US, he leads it. He is the only president was have, and when he makes a decision, or when he makes a promise, he is the only person in the land that can carry it out from that position. We've go a lot of senators, way more congressmen, but only one president. When he speaks on behalf of the office of the presidency, Collectively... it's still "I".Dwane T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218649785614098860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-41071467994556905072010-03-31T09:19:26.981-07:002010-03-31T09:19:26.981-07:00David, we will keep it moving in your honor.

People want their leaders to understand & sympathize with their problems, or as in this case, as troops to better understand why they're there. <br /><br />As for Obama's referring to himself, this is an old criticism that Language Log and others have <a href="http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2113" rel="nofollow">dismissed</a>. <br /><br />Me?

Remember that one..."I, feel your pain." <br /><br />Remember that one? It could be argued that the line alone was a president-maker. Used as a catchphrase, it made people feel that Clinton was empatetic towards their plight and led him towards victory in the voting booth. So I personally am not offended at all by Obama's oft use of that pronoun to hammer his point. <br /><br />In the case of Obama using it the other day, it shows that he sincerely cares about the troops and the people of the United States as a whole. And I, for one, am comforted by that thought after eight years of neglect with the Repubs. From what I saw, the troops seemed to not have a problem with it either, and embraced his presence there with enthusiasm. And yes, I do care about his anguish because I get a sense that he cares about and respects mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-11224640138066424302010-03-30T06:40:14.960-07:002010-03-30T06:40:14.960-07:00start to notice the way he talks

How does the way he chooses to express himself really affect your life? There are plenty of things to criticize him about that are way more significant than how he talks, IMO.

Its good to feel like someone in Washington is anguish about a decision to send us here and in Iraq. I believe this was a difficult decision for the CAC. I am proud to serve in this military even in difficult times. I have seen too many bro/sis in arms fall and it seemed that former administration didnt care at all but made decision without any regard to the troops. Thank God for a thinking man in the office. If you really want to know what it means to the troops here please come over and ask us for yourself and see what we go through from date to day. I have lost 4 friends here so I hope and pray that someone anguish over us being here but it seems that UBM.
