On FOX, Limbaugh says of Obama's Gates answer: "President Obama is black. And I think he's got a chip on his shoulder"

Yes, we do have exceptional health care, but our coverage is lacking

Which, for some odd reason, the likes of Limbaugh and others have been parsing words. They are redefining health care coverage (aka healh care) as doctor care. My health care provider is not my Primary Care Physician, its my insurance company to whom I pay an obscene amount of money to every month and do not see a dime of it back.

So yes, while the Unites States of America may arguably have the best Physicians in the world...we certainly have arguably the worst cost/coverage system for care in the world

The insurance corporations are already rationing health care...

big time. ...How can they satisfy Wall Street if they don't?

Exactly! We have the best heath care RESOURCES in the entire world, by far, bar none. But our DELIVERY SYSTEM is arguably the WORST in the industrialized world.

I bet rush can name the element (racists) but can't prove Obama doesn't like them. In the end it's all just an opinion...

Why else would he even comment on this case? If this was a white guy, would Obama have talked about it?


Obama was asked about the case at a press conference and he responded. He did not just volunteer a comment on the case as you suggest.

Sounds to me like you have a chip on your shoulder about "elitists" at Harvard. I can see that among the right wingers who have achieved nothing more than a high school diploma, such as Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck. Not a whole lot of brain power there...

zam, if Obama doesn't answer the question, Limpy would be asking why he didn't answer. Personally, I am glad he answered and gave an honest answer. This is too much for the Right to handle.
I have a question for my fine ConLogic thinking friends, do you believe this is the first time this has happened in this country, especially below the Mason-Dixon line?
And why can't someone disrespect a police officer in his own home?

I believe the cop was doing his job...but that job ended when he bumped up against the Constitution. Where are the Conservatives? Individual rights are calling. And to think further, the ACLU may chime in if asked..and before long, Limpy and Seannie will be blaming ACORN.

Why else would he even comment on this case?

He was responding to a question. Are you just pretending to be stupid?

Everything you wrote is about as senseless as the behavior of the stupid cop.
Do you realize the Press Conference was about to end before Obama got a question about the Professor incident?
The point is, Obama was asked a question and he responded with an answer. Do you believe Obama had intentions on commenting on Gates at a Healthcare meeting? You lose credibility when you say "why else would he even comment on this case".

You worte: "If this was a white guy, would Obama have talked about it?"
If Obama was asked about it, just like he was asked about Gates, I'm sure he would have given an answer. The point you miss is that Obama didn’t offer or solicit the question, he was asked, and again you lose credibility because you make a stupid assumption.
This whole incident is about race and to deny it is to be in denial. The dumbass white cop treated the homeowner like a criminal even after he proved he was who he said he was, AND he ended up arresting the man (charges later dropped further demonstrating who was wrong), This would not happen to a white homeowner, nor would the office keep his job if he did something stupid like that.
You may not want to accept this, but there was NO NEED for the cop to hang around to ask more questions. Had he done something stupid like that to a white homeowner he would have been TOLD to leave his house, but the fact is, the cop would have never treated a white homeowner like a criminal, especially after the truth came out. You know that, and I know that, but you will try to defend the indefensible anyway. These too, erode any credibility you may have had.

>>Sounds like Obama has a chip on his shoulder. Why else would he even comment on this case?

Because of his law background?

>>If this was a white guy, would Obama have talked about it?

If this was a white guy he would be Limbaugh and the NRA's latest victim of big government.

President Obama have a chip on his shoulder.He has knocked the chip off the republicans shoulders and slapped them up side the head.Since we are using childhood fight analogies.You know what it means when the other fellow chip is still on his shoulder, he has knocked your chip off,and slapped you up side your head.That means you getting your but whipped.

"If this was a white guy, would Obama have talked about it? No."

If this was a white guy, would it have happened? No.
If this was a white guy, and it happened, would Obama have been asked about it? No.

I think it's safe to say that everyone here knew what your opinion of this case was before you even heard of it.

Especially after a flight from China and then not being able to get into your own home.
