Great question, Tara but I doubt any of them will actually be able to answer you because they know that what is really driving the opposition to healthcare reform has only to do with Obama's skin color. Sad but true.
There's an answer that deals with the substance of the topic.
What am I missing? Why would someone who is "against bigotry" for all people make a comment like this blaming Barack Obama's skin color?
Yeah, that "damn" white half!! You all are the racist ones! Obama doesn't even know how he is going to pay for this, health care reform IS needed, however it has to be something that will bankrupt the country. Even the CBO, states it can't be paid for. Do some research!!!
URI93,
Yes you missed something, lol! It's not me who has a problem with his skin color it's Republicans. Personally I think his skin is beautiful shade of warm caramel.
WeinMom,
What makes you think that it is the Dems who are racist and the Repubs? And just who do you think Dems are discriminating against anyway?
Also Obama has explained how most of this will be paid for and one of the major ways is the deal made with pharma which you can read about here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/06/health/policy/06insure.html?_r=1
Only 1/3 has NOT been explained how if will be paid for but YES that does need to be addressed and is in the process of being worked out.
Btw, I research all the time and have even read the bill which is avaible on the House website. If you haven't done so as well I encourage you to read it for yourself.
Brat75, Is that you in that new icon? If so, you really should change it back. You look too flat chested. Sorry, but you do. Not a flattering picture. Friend of the Frog - Honesty is the best policy
Dear Armybrat75,
Although it is true that there are still people that are racist in are country, I believe that the true reason there is such a fight over health care is nothing more than MONEY and CONTROL, and lets not forget POWER.
Tara,
You are sadly mistaken. The mistakes that he has made, the lies he has told, and his inexperience has nothing to do with the color of his skin. However, when you keep that mindset, you yourself are promoting racism. Next time Obama is on the air, close your eyes and listen to him. Perhaps then you will recognize that wrong is wrong regardless of it's color.
