We're watching http://www.bet.com/shows/bet-presents-love-happiness-an-obama-celebration.html and why is Bradley Cooper at this thing?

ha this is that thing that Chappelle was talking about at the end of his SNL monologue right

Yeah. It's nice to go in a time machine back to October.

His incredible, unshakeable faith in the meritocracy.

Given the constraints of an extremist opposition, there’s probably not much more Obama could have done on climate change. He sums up his achievements and the need to move forward in an article in Science, written by him, although almost certainly not actually written by him. This is the first time a sitting president has ever published in the prestigious journal.

Of course one can argue that Obama’s biggest weakness is thinking that anyone cares what is published in a journal like Science instead of playing the dirty politics that actually leads to power in this country. It would be nice if this country could have nice things, but what a pipe dream.

In that case, all this 'bipartisanship' talk makes me worry he'll let the plutocrats walk all over him in the name of unity. It's too early to tell, of course. The problem is, I'm guilty of being a little star struck by the dude and his speeches and advisors and stuff, so I'm probably missing important defects. So maybe that's a flaw, too.

Nice job screwing over the Cubans, buttface lame duck.

I don't have a problem with it tbh

I'm sorry for the emigres who didn't get the news

qft

tell it to the Salvadorans, Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans, Haitians, etc and see how many tears they shed for the poor Cubans.

i've managed to avoid most inauguration coverage today. if you'd like something else, this group of people assessing the end of obama is p interesting

marilynne robinson is worshipful, david bromwich is of course v critical

CL: You caught my attention in the London Review of Books many months ago just with the observation that he can sound like the president of the Ford Foundation, or something. It’s the sound of a vaguely anonymous board room voice, an intelligent mind among a lot of intelligent minds, representing some kind of anonymous consensus of the good people.

DB: Yeah. That’s sort of the good and competent elite who are meant to run things. I call him a Fabian non-socialist for that reason. The Fabians – H. G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw among them – believed in the reform of society by a group of technocrats, from above, in the direction of equality, but not with much consultation of the populace. And there’s nothing at all low about Obama, nothing the least bit vulgar or ill-bred. In fact, if he had just a dash of vulgarity it might increase the democratic quality of his charm.

deporting 3m ppl, assassinating citizens = lil bit vulgar

how many would you have deported morbs

twelve

all irish

o'postles

"So life in America was not always easy. It wasn’t always easy for new immigrants. Certainly it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily, and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more." — Barack Obama, 2015

nice try

He's not Donald trump

that wasnt the comp

the context and meaning of that obama quote is quite a bit different from what carson said

some folks got enslaved

lol if you think that's equivalent to what Carson said

lol morbs trolling u guys

pretty sure he got this from Breitbart. at least, i know they were pushing this comp yesterday.

Incredibly, an alt-right guy like me has never fucking once looked at Breitbart.

I hate this board

Morbs do you notice how Obama frames this point

are you familiar with the notion, in rhetoric, that the first point you make has precedence, so if you say "there were immigrants from Africa! also they didn't choose to come here" it's different from saying "there were people who were brought here involuntarily, but they can also be thought of as immigrants"

do you dig that from almost every reasonable perspective Obama's line & Carson's are only vaguely on the same page

the only point all the lefties posting this have been seeking to make are that the words alone, lain side by side, are similar.

"in their own way were immigrants themselves" nope.

I did not ever study rhetorical notions, i was watching Sam Fuller's Shock Corridor

the only point all the lefties posting this have been seeking to make are that the words alone, lain side by side, are similar.

oh has leftist discourse really degenerated to "some of the words are the same"

oh Christ, where can i lay a bet that the GOP is going to rule America til The End

the only point all the lefties posting this have been seeking to make are that the words alone, lain side by side, are similar.

that explains why you chose to post it on a thread called "what are barack obama's flaws?"

one of them is HE IS A BULLSHITTERRRRRRRRRRR

dude c'mon. baseball season is coming up. elevate yr game

let me just say, as he did around 12:30pm this past Jan 20, "good job"

I hear he thinks that you're pretty mediocre yourself tbh

Help me catch up everyone. Are we arguing about whether Obama is the real racist?

In his late 20s now and slightly older than most classmates, he had a compulsion to orate in class and summarize other people’s arguments for them. “In law school the only thing I would have voted for Obama to do would have been to shut up,” one student told Garrow.

I guess this guy thinks he is Robert Caro because this book is 1400 pages and apparently reserves Obama's entire presidency for an epilogue.

He pondered, he mused, he called senators, he wrote thoughts on a yellow legal pad, teasing out the constitutional obstacles, he consulted Michelle.

And he acted.

it's been curious for like a year now (and nobody says shit) that 45's half-brother hosts a fuck barry 'my half-brother' soetero twitter account ~

http://nypost.com/2016/07/24/why-obamas-half-brother-says-hell-be-voting-for-donald-trump/
