On Obama Worshippers (part two)

Feb 24, 2009 08:40

just sharing a little more of our conversation:

2:25:21 PM Ori: that's some cheap bullshit
2:25:37 PM Ori: i'm disgusted at that
2:25:44 PM Ori: not at obama, but at that broad

2:25:46 PM hubby: and now we know why jason will never be president

2:25:55 PM Ori: wtf was he gonna do now
2:26:10 PM Ori: with everyone expecting him to be a savior?

2:26:14 PM hubby: if he was wise
2:26:17 PM hubby: he'd say fuck it

2:26:19 PM Ori: eventually you become ensalved to the masses
2:26:27 PM Ori: enslaved*

2:26:28 PM hubby: because you can't be easily removed from office

2:26:36 PM Ori: true true

2:26:45 PM hubby: yeah, that's shitty of her to do

2:26:49 PM Ori: but there's the backlash of that

2:26:51 PM hubby: but what did obama expect?
2:26:58 PM hubby: backlash? so what
2:27:16 PM hubby: popular opinion does not define a presidency

2:27:20 PM Ori: i guess it wouldn't matter to you, but in one hour people would be saying
2:27:37 PM Ori: "yup that's how black folk do, they use you until they come up, then they never want to help they own"

2:27:53 PM hubby: that element is always there though
2:28:07 PM hubby: so he hugs her and whatever. now he gets to deal with the right wing backlash
2:28:20 PM hubby: just like the policy decisions he's been making

2:28:23 PM Ori: i know, but it is a difficult rope to walk

2:28:26 PM hubby: he has to deal with that backlash

2:29:21 PM Ori: this really is a question of what kind of black man is he? they allow this black woman who looks like the age of someone's mother, maybe michele's, and then have her break down
2:29:26 PM Ori: "no one's helping me!"
2:29:40 PM Ori: and everyone looks to him to see if he has a heart

2:29:43 PM hubby: I'd be smacking the crap outa my staff after that, I can promise you that

2:29:55 PM Ori: i hope he did

We get a little feisty after this, so I'll post that soon.
