President Obama

[Philly Mike]

regardless of what he did, he has not be in any spotlight as of the past whatever, and i still don't care about what he said. Seriously does it make a difference? So what, its hypocritical, big deal he is stupid. Regardless of what good anyone has done they can still say something dumb enough to erase any good they have done. Look at the fact that Jackson was around with MLK but he is now a dumbass.

The biggest point I was trying to make is the fact that people saying stupid things like this doesn't get brought up because it really isn't that big of a deal. How is this going to change your life? If you make a racist statement around someone who gets offended does it really matter? You will probably never see that person again in your life anyway. So what if they say it nothing happens. If you work with someone and they say it at work they can get fired just as quickly as you would. Outside of a professional setting it really makes no difference unless the statement is being spray painted on to a house or something like that.

I am mostly puerto rican, if someone decides to go and call me a spic I don't care I just let them think they are better. If someone gets offended by something of that nature they are just petty and on the same level as the person trying to do the offending.

There is no reason to get bent out of shape because someone makes an offhand statement, it will change no lives and effects you in no way.

By that logic Senator Trent Lott should have kept his job in the senate leadership. Just an offhanded comment that was taken out of context.

Well pretty much no one should be fired for things that are taken out of context. but there is a difference in being professional and casual. Even though his comments weren't really bad.

This is the exact stuff i am referring to when i mean people shouldn't be bent out of shape. Being an independent I could care less what either party does, personally I feel each side has a bunch of ultra Conservative, or extreme liberals. Not saying that there aren't any people in the parties that are reasonable but there are plenty to make me not want to be in either party.

It is bickering like that which makes the whole election process so annoying.

lol this thread is reminding me why I used to hate politics.
