Obama & His Desire for Hollywood
Jun 11, 2012 09:46:15 #
Why would a President give to Hollywood all the vital information the Seals used in capturing or killling bin Laden unless he wanted to be a part of the action. Now, you know, they will have some actor to play Obama in that movie... Does anyone want to bet me this will be so. I also believe the movie will be finished before the election in November to boost his ratings so he can serve another term......... wanna bet? This man is hungry for attention... any attention he can get. It's sad to watch a grown man do things to draw praise to oneself in such a fashion. He does enough of that in watching him walk... it's called the black man's strut!!!

I'm not a fan of Obama, but I have to ask; "is there anything constructive in bringing this up on a photography-oriented site"?
The Obama haters will agree. The Obama kool aid drinkers will disagree. No point in bringing it up, in my opinion.
And there are whole websites devoted to worship or condemnation of the guy. If I really were frustrated and wanted to vent, I would do it there.
Obviously, this site allows these types of discussion; but I just have to wonder if it's worth stirring people up (on both sides).
I rarely comment on these political discussions (for the reasons mentioned), but I had to (for some reason) this time.
This is not a condemnation of the post. I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort. I doubt it will change anyone's mind.

I guess if you're assuming that the goal is to change anyone's mind. :)
I'm leaving, it's going to get hot in here.... :)

So many have left UHH because of the Chit-Chat..I for one wish it didn't exist. It is here because Admin wants to create traffic here to sell your browsing history from your computer to Marketers.

Mattie, do not be frightened away. The Chit-Chat forum is specifically for non- photography threads.
Nothing wrong with your post, so you have nothing to be apologizing for.

I agree 110%. This is non photography chit-chat. It is the people who complain about a topic not being photo related who are out of line.

You have no idea what this software is capable of.

Mattie....You and I agree on Obama..I have posted in defense of your posts several times. I just looked at your profile and since joining last September you have yet to post just one image. Why is that? All you're doing is stirring the pot in 2 of the 3 topics you've created. Sure I stand up for my beliefs. The problem is you start the fights. Les Stockton hit it on the head. What is the point? Let it go. There are many forums to create arguments that noone wins. I have started to wonder why you are really here.

Mattie, "The Blackman's Strut" Really!!!.
That's where you want to take this discussion?
Whether you like the President or not, resorting to racial epithets is totally uncalled for.
Shame on you!

shaking my head... Mattie ~ when you make comments like this it makes it really hard to believe that your blatant dislike for President Obama does not stem from racial issues and makes it even harder to take anything you say with any grain of seriousness.

Just to clarify...my dislike for Obama has nothing to do with his race..I supported Herman Cain before his past transgressions were revealed. This election is not about race. Mattie I will no longer support your posts.

I calls 'em as I sees 'em! That's what he has.. maybe I should have said his 'swagger'...... there ... is that better? Did you ever stop to think all of you who have criticized me to my FACE, if you think this hurts my feelings... think again! I am entitled to my opinion just as you are... right?
And I can voice it just like you have done, right? So if it pleases me... why should I care if it pleases you? I am not running a popularity contest here, I am just posting my views as I see them..... I dont expect you to like or dislike them.... right? Nor am I asking your permission if I can post them either!
