Question Barack Obama; Is it just me...

[DaGaffer]

His mum is a white Irish lady! How does that make him a "black" president...mixed race yes. Black no. He's as much as a "white" president as he is a black one...

She was NOT Irish! Gah, I keep hearing eejits here talking about how Obama is from Offally and all that rubbish. He's about as Irish as I am French; which is a bit, but not very much. As for whether he's "black" or not, well, the Americans have rules about that, so the definition of black isn't necessarily related to the colour of your skin.

Which is the stupidest thing the Americans have come up with.

Don't disagree at all. But its how Americans still think (and despite it being illegal, why it still rears its head in the US legal system from time to time), which is why he's a "black" president.

No no, nothing at all, it was a good call, funny, i'm cracking up you know, still funny as hell. Honestly, it was like "zing!" and i keeled over with laughter.

Unfortunately your childish responses appear to underly deep-seated insecurities. People aren't laughing at you, they're laughing at the ability of another poster to spot an ambiguous use of English and highlight that it could actually mean something different than its intention.

This is a basic device of humour, and it always has been and always will be funny, depending on the language ambiguity in question.

In short, stop acting like a abused small animal and stop whimpering.

Sorry we are not all as perfect as you are and some of do make a few mistakes from time to time.

Sorry for making mistakes.

I'll try harder.

Well its about damn time someone realised that!

Sorry for making mistakes.

Good. I'll let you off. This time.

For your information who neglected to read until "ofcourse it was ", which gives completely the ackowledgement of f*cking up, i'd like to point out that i fully am aware of getting "owned", hensh i took the ironic overkill approach that is a well used form of humor as well, example in case: stewie griffin.

fluffy, fluffy, think of the fluffy!


*slaps everyone*

*spanks monkey*

 

[Mabs]

*spanks monkey*

is that a PC statement to make in a post about people of different creed and colour ?

*hides*

 

[TdC]

I can neither confirm or deny the colour of my monkey

 

[Ch3tan]

what we really want to know is if you deny having sexual relations with said monkey.

 

[Sar]

Ooh oh, i see what you did there. Like, person instead of president, funny. Haha. Yeah, you got me man. Totally. How silly of me. Noone probably got what i meant with it. Dude, thanks for that. IT's like...TOTALLY funny. I'm rolling on the floor here. What do the cool kids say? ROFL? YEah, i'm ROFL'ing my a** off here. Aha...haha....yeah.

*smirk*

 

[SilverHood]

Try living over here. It's insane. Can't open a friggin newspaper or turn on the TV without seeing his face. It's not like he's walking on water. Yet.

 

[Pfy]

same way whoever we vote for in our next election will tick the not Brown box.

Racist! *cough*

 

[Poag]

Long and the short.
If he doesn't nuke the world into the ground by 2013
If he does have some 'plan' for the rescession
If he is more foreign friendly than Bush


Then he is the second coming when compared to Bush :>

 

[Mey]

I care little for American Politics tbh but i'm glad i read this thread to see seel get owned! hehe.

 

[00dave]

Racist! *cough*

Haha yes I suppose I am after that statement, but I would like to point out that the capital B in Brown suggests a name rather than a description as my defence.

alternatively if I were old Toht:
lol yeah like you totally got me there, haha I see what you did there and its like totally hilarious, lol I'm like roling around and like my sides are hurting and stuff. I like totally understand the concept of sarcasm and stuff.

only kidding Toht

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It also does the exact opposite: by using the capital it could be construed as you grouping black people together into one ethnicity "Brown."



In future, first names are useful!

Did anyone catch the Daily Show tonight? I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything Hannity, O'Reilly and the rest of the Fox News crew do, but Jesus. They're not wasting any time sinking their teeth in. It's like they think he's the anti-christ or something.

[Chilly]

I now have serious respect for the marketing crew at veet

 

[cHodAX]

Am I the only one who thinks he got in because the black presidents on 24 were quite good?

Took the words out of my mouth, David Palmer was way smarter than this **** though.

 

[Raven]

I like him, he is black after all.

 

[Ctuchik]

Expectations are high for one reason, he's the first black person.

dont think thats the only reason. Bush never had a real plan when he was a president, Obama have one.

 

[Ctuchik]

I'm talking about the weight of expectation that commentators and most of the public (especially outside the US), have for him.

ppl outside USA expect that Obama fix all the crap Bush have been causing over the last 8 years. they expect Obama to actually DO something insted of just declaring war as if it were the only solution. or that he (and his lapdog countrys) atleast have REAL evidence when he declare war on another country.

 

[Sar]

dont think thats the only reason. Bush never had a real plan when he was a president, Obama have one.

Bush had a plan alright, and it involved carrying out the agenda of his Neocon buddies.

Which involved 9/11, the erosion of civil liberties and launching Gulf War 2.

 

[Sar]

Oh and the BBC are fairly pro-Isreal, which is a mistake as they began this entire conflict with the Palestinians.

Not that the Palestinians are innocent in it either.

 

[Ctuchik]

owell, here's hoping that Obama can make the US navy atleast find a crappy swedish sub

 

[Everz]

Who cares? Aslong as he overthrows the White Man there is nothing else to bother about.
