Why Do Some Consider the Term "Novelty President" Racist?

There is no guy before him. Obama is the only president we've ever had.

No. He's the only token president we've ever had. Be honest.

Anything happening with gun control?

You should be given an award for the most ineffective troll Wordforge has ever had. Interesting, though; you're here, and no one has mentioned gayness or gay related business yet....

Far too much.

Is the inherently racist? No.

Can it be racist in context? Yes.

Is it boring, unoriginal, and indicative that the speaker/poster has nothing substantive to say? Almost inevitably.

Like "Probe"?

Wow, a joke about "Probe." That's so edgy. I can't believe you went there. What's next, some bits about airline food and how white people drive like this, but black people drive like this?

Start that thread in MC, and on behalf of the late Gene DeWeese, I'll show you how wrong you are.

Keep tossing it into the conversation in the RR, and I'll advise you to be screened for early-onset Alzheimer's.

I thought you hated "Probe".

Now, I know it was mediocre, but at least it had a reference to the Borg (not by name) in it.

Then you're as wrong about that as about almost everything else. Now, how long do you plan to keep derailing your own thread?

My position on this is well known, if unpopular.

I wish I could say you're the only racist, homophobic "Christian" we've ever had, but that would be a lie.

I was gearing up to have a rational argument, supported by facts, until I realized how successful that would be, so rather than waste time and effort I'll just point out that, when Bush took office, gas prices were escalating, and we were headed towards a recession. The whole .com boom had gone bust and Enron, Tyco, and a number of other large debacles were unfolding. Then we got hit by the largest terrorist attack in history, which lead to some long overdue (but expensive) neglected housekeeping regarding the growth of Islamic terrorism.

In spite of all those challenges, the economy was growing by 4.4%--a healthy rate--unemployment was a low 5.4%, and gasoline was selling for $1.89 a gallon.

Say what you will about Dubya, but compared to Obama he was a freaking genius.

That would be a pleasant change from your recent M.O. Too bad you're either so thin-skinned or so devoid of facts and rationality that your widdle hurt feelings won't allow you to continue...
