Of course the racism claim is an observation on my part. To validate that, one would have to go back and attempt to determine if a consistent pattern exists from a specific poster. It would be complicated and nuanced and couched in terms of degrees of certain an +/- statistical standard measures of error. I have problems with this president and think he should be doing a better job, even in the face of statements by a Senate minority leader who repeatedly said he wanted to make him a one term president. I think that leader was from the South, but I am not prepared to say it was based on racism.

I check statements politicians make on fact checking web sites on issues that are a concern to me. Occasionally the president will fall in the liar category. Or partly true.

Problem is with your statements "continual liar" and "horrible President" is that they are not helpful in contributing to an understanding.

I regularly watch the Sunday morning shows that focus on politics. Face the Nation, Meet the Press, this Week with Stephan Stephanopolus mainly. Sometimes Fox. I have never hear anyone, from either the leaning, conservative or progressive, label him as a "liar" or "horrible." It's ranting and not helpful. Well maybe on a rare occasion where such an emotional outburst would be considered irresponsible.

Over generalizations. What does continual mean? Every sentence, every day, once a day, once a week, once a month, only when speaking to congress? I suspect I could find data supporting the thesis that his percentage of lies fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum for all presidents over the past two decades of so.

I wonder whether you would consider Anne Coulter a bringer of truth. Just wondering. Be helpful in understanding your measure of fairness.

I interpret "continual" as anytime Obama's lips move. If that was Penny's intention I would say she nailed it. But I don't speak for Penny. She's very capable of defending or explaining her comments. :thumbup:

Why didn't you descend all the way and have them spitting out watermelon seeds.

Oprah has been off the air since 2011. But, when it ran:

"Audience Oprah's audience is also predominantly white: 5.9 million of whites watch Oprah, compared with 1.4 million blacks. Her reach among the Hispanic population is tiny -- only about 230,000 Hispanics watch the show daily. "

Major network news had a medically based report showing that obesity in our youth, spread across the entire ethnic demographic, is a major and urgent problem that needs immediate attention.

Penny? Thoughts? They do seem to go together. And the two of you are married in spirit. Ann Coulter could preside at the formal ceremonies.

I will take a chance and speak for Pounder and say that this is obviously your view of the people you speak of with a big dose of the racism that we are accused of having.
However, you will not find any racism in our posts without injecting your own opinions first.

Good to know you keep up with Okra, err Oprah. The numbers show how many brain dead we truly have in this country. Problem is they vote. Including your Hispanic number which is probably comprised of mostly illegals. Keep up the good work and be sure to send out regular updates. Your news on medical reports just means we have kids from all different ethic groups sitting on their fat asses playing video games and swallowing Big Mac's whole while mom watches Okra. Or Judge Judy. Or whatever crap is on these days. :roll:

Though all presidents lie, any is too many. http://www.heraldonline.com/2014/01/11/5570513/here-are-obamas-top-10-lies.html

But his are huge blatant lies that he refuses to take blame for. Does it matter if it is 1 a year or 1 a month? As long as he keeps saying things like "you like you doctor, you can keep him/her. Or the republicans are killing the middle class, or unemployment is going down." Between the ACA, Benghazi, IRS scandal, Fast and furious, etc. I think enough has been said. He does not ever intend to investigate anything that will show he is incompetent.
