"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

that wasnt the comp

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:28 (nine years ago)

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

salthigh, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:39 (nine years ago)

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

frogbs, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:42 (nine years ago)

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

evol j, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:59 (nine years ago)

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

I hate this board

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 19:02 (nine years ago)

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

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

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

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 19:39 (nine years ago)

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

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:01 (nine years ago)

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

The Perks of Being a Wall St R (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:33 (nine years ago)

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.

evol j, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 20:16 (nine years ago)

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 ~

reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 20:22 (nine years ago)

it's widely rumored that that account is run by chuck johnson

goole, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 20:24 (nine years ago)

ok idk about 'widely' but i've seen that come up a bunch

goole, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 20:25 (nine years ago)

cJmalik shouldn't have sold out to CJ :(

reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 20:27 (nine years ago)

He's 44's half-brother.

pplains, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 21:20 (nine years ago)

abraham lincoln asked a woman to marry him before mary todd lincoln but then he found out she was a fattie and dumped her

true story

increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 21:55 (nine years ago)

he's 45's half-brother more than he is 44's, considering the shit he talks

"Jager, who in “Dreams From My Father” was virtually written out, compressed into a single character along with two prior Obama girlfriends"

"Polly Perkins is a composite, like New York Magazine does"

After today's WaPo story, I expect his fealty to bipartisanship and the noble motives of his enemies will be his most damning flaw. And it proved dangerous.

you know his moderation is really an admirable quality, though its effects on policy were mostly mixed. with time i appreciate his foreign policy approach more and more -- especially as it's become more clear that clinton was behind many of the missteps -- but domestically yes, it got him played

k3vin k., Saturday, 24 June 2017 02:29 (eight years ago)

it doesn't matter; this is what this country deserves

mookieproof, Saturday, 24 June 2017 02:38 (eight years ago)

"It got him played" suggests he was a passive actor.

the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 24 June 2017 02:44 (eight years ago)

i don't think this is right, though. the problem was they expected clinton to win like everyone else. avoiding a stink from trump about the rigged election was prudent on that basis. if they had realistically expected trump to win, the calculus on giving him fodder would have been different.

In some ways it's comforting to know that everyone underestimated the collective stupidity of US voters, all the way to the top, and in other ways it's very frightening

Karl Malone, Saturday, 24 June 2017 03:02 (eight years ago)

oh no, barack obama failed to anticipate the nation electing a charlatan television reality show host

mookieproof, Saturday, 24 June 2017 03:16 (eight years ago)

I still don't understand that thinking, but it doesn't matter -- too late.

This is hardly true, and a fair bit of a cop out. The driving force behind Libya was France, for instance.

Frederik B, Saturday, 24 June 2017 03:58 (eight years ago)

clinton was responsible for making foreign policy decisions for the u.s., not france

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Saturday, 24 June 2017 04:59 (eight years ago)

No, Obama was the commander in chief.
