Bill Clinton is President again...

[a completely inoffensive name]

Wow, from this one statement...

...you were able to read all of that into it. You even made a tenuous connection to "Birth of a Nation". Impressive.

Of course, he neither said nor implied any of that.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were his speaker. Whenever I challenge his statements should I go to you for clarification on what they mean?

Dave certainly needs no one to speak for him.

I was genuinely impressed at your ability to infer from that innocuous twelve word statement such a long, clichéd racial diatribe culminating in - wait for it - a reference to "Birth of a Nation"! It was truly beautiful.

Clinton himself has always embraced the title of 'first Black president'. Although I would assume he had the good instinct not to use the phrase himself. But he certainly embraced it and had it used to great political effect.

He is proud of it, and perhaps rightly so. He did connect with many Black Americans, they felt comfortable around him, andf he felt comfortable around them. Clinton's always had genuine Black friends, Blacks featured prominently in his personal entourage. As president, he did a lot to make them feel fully part of America.

Clinton Honored As 'First Black President' at Black Caucus Dinner

Former President Bill Clinton was honored as the nation's first black president Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Annual Awards Dinner on in Washington, DC.

The chair of the all-Democratic caucus, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.), told the crowd that Clinton "took so many initiatives he made us think for a while we had elected the first black president."

[...]

Clinton told CNSNews.com he was honored to be considered America's "first black president."

"I think it's a function of the work I have done, not just as president, but my whole public life to try to bridge the racial divide and the fact that even when I was a little boy I had friends who were African-American," he explained.

Clinton said that while he misses being president he has "a wonderful life now and I had the time that was allocated to me under the Constitution." He explained, "I have no regrets and I'm trying to go on and play a constructive role as a citizen now and I am quite happy with it."

He added, "I am happy in Harlem and I am honored to be thought of as the first black president."

I got four warnings for this thread. You can all suck it. All my posts were factual and because I pointed out the faults of a unqualified "leader" that the Europeans haved crowned a diety, I cannot post things that have been posted a thousand times before in the history of the backroom. Are you kidding me? Unbelievable. If any people should get warnings its those that have used mental gymnastics to paint my posts as racist. Who are the real racist? The people that state truths or those that only see racism in truth? Who are the ones that are truelly open minded? Not like any of this matters, its been like this since I first started posting in here. later....

The fact that we are still arguing the semantics of our melanin content says more about us than the melanin content.

I realize it's cliché and impractical to ask to move beyond race but damn guys have we not beat this thing to death?

Yes, well Dave, just because you are Black doesn't mean you should expect privileges around here.

I'm very dissapointed you couldn't resist pulling out your race card again.

Well at least he isn't pulling out the same "thing" you pull out every chance you get......

Thank you, it's almost as impressive as your ability to interpret any act of Obama as a failure. I'm sure when Santa comes by the White House to give Obama's children presents, you will be screaming about how much of it was on the taxpayer's dime.

Kinda like Clinton speaking for Obama, the original intent of the entire thread ... Did you ever watch the video of the "president" basically running away to go out on a date when my country is going the path of Greece and having a president from 3 administrations ago to answer for this administrations policies...

Now now, we get to hear Obama's opinion all the time. Sometimes it's nice to hear from other people as well.

The President came out and anounced he had an event to attend, and that he would let the press speak with Clinton over the topics they disscussed. He then left to keep his appointments.

Also, Obama won the presidency because he knew how to speak to people in a calm and understandable way, that let people feel that he understood and could master the situation. His opponents also all seemed to be towing along some baggage which isolated them from many voters that would have otherwise likely voted for them. It really had little to do with "Affirmative Action" or "Steroids."
