When will we get it in our minds to unite? Unfortunately I dont see that anywhere in the near future. When our President is giving a national press conferrence and he refers to the republican party as "they". Doesnt seem like he is looking to unite us. I remember McCain calling Obama, "That one", during a debate. That was just wrong. Ma'am I also remember President Obama calling Senator McCain John without first asking if that was alright. I also saw Senator McCain refer to President Obama as Senator Obama at all other points that night. If you'd like to get into a debate on whether or not something is polite you yourself should use the proper mannerisms (ie President Obama and Senator McCain). And, a debate is meant to illicit emotions which could result in someone being impolite. A press conference is not meant to do that and the president went in with his words already formatted. There is a difference between the heat of the moment and a preprepared speech. You can't even compare Obama calling McCain by his first name with McCain calling Obama "that one". Yes you can, it was all disrespectful no matter how you look at it. Yes Senator McCain was wrong but so was President Obama. It is a bad reflection on both and even worse a poor reflection on our nation. I disagree. I feel that it's worse to call a black man, "that one". How does that even have to do with race? I'm sorry but you argument has no legitimate backing to it. By bringing up that somehow Senator McCain's comment had to do with race you are actually perpetuating racism. "That one" has nothing to do with the color of one's skin. I'm about as white as you can get and my father calls me that one all time. Its got nothing to do with the color of the President's skin. |

Winx stay on topic please, this is not a racial statement in any way and that one no way implies race.

I read, part of the tea party can include and encouraged is, mailing a teabag to Capital Hill. That could be coordinated too where there would be thousands delivered daily.

I didnt have a problem with Obama calling him by his first name.
After all they work together in the Senate and knew each other before the debates "that one", I dunno if its racial but it's still kinda denigrating and disrespectful |

What good mailing a tea bag... The ignored our actual VOICES during the campaign and the debate over the first bailout (anybody remember that...) I reckon the only way to actually get their attention is to MARCH up to the capitol. (in a friendly way of course). Let them hear the mass voices of a lot of pissed off people for as long as it takes to get them to WORK RIGHT or GO HOME. But I forgot... That would require a commitment from many people... It would require food, water, and an additude of. and might be our last chance to get R' Done peacefully. |

After all they work together in the Senate and knew each other before the debates "that one", I dunno if its racial but it's still kinda denigrating and disrespectful We have to stop agreeing here, it's getting on my nerves.. grin I too thought that was silly, when McCain worked with Obama I am sure he didn't call him by Obama's last name. Why would I call someone I have worked with by their last name all of a sudden. That was just silly, and personally 'that one' was just denigrating and meant to be, McCain didn't really care how his supporters or anyone took it as long as they took it to downsize Obama. It didn't have to be racial to get the point across. |

"McCain surrogates have taken to drawing attention to Obama's middle name, Hussein – a tactic that plays into racist assumptions that Obama is a Muslim with anti-American leanings, according to critics."
This is taken from the article posted by Winx. I never knew Muslim was a race. This is how ridiculous the race argument has become. McCain Lost.. Obama is President. Who gives a rats ass what happened during the election. We are allowing our country to be destroyed. Doing something about that is far more important than worrying about what someone said last year. For Christ Sake. |

For Christ Sake. You are right, what's going on now is more important. I have done things about it. I do think, btw, that ignorant people throw the Muslin word around in a racist way. |

I never knew Muslim was a race. It's not. Many different races subscribe to Islam. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all of the terrorists (from the ME anyway) seem to be Muslim. |

Enough of the us vs. them this happened and that happened during the election. Let us KEEP IT TO RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. The debates and elections are over people. No one cares anymore, its about today now and the future and what we paln to do about it as responsible voters and patrons of this country. He said this about this one or he said this about that one. This is our country as a nation each and everyone of us. How do you feel about your constitutional rights being infringed upon??
