America's Great Divide

What made Obama unique and new wasn't that he was black or his name. What made him unique was that he was the first anti-American, American President. Obama sold racial healing and Hope and Change but he governed just like the hack Chicago Pol he was. He had no problem using the power of the Federal Government to attack his political opponents, he had no problem making appeals based upon race, and he had an army of surrogates that included the media that would savage anyone who criticized him as a racist.
All you need to recall is the way Obama and the Rats went after Palin in 2008 and it refutes the bullshit about Obama trying to bring us together. -

And El oh El on Palin. Making fun of her for stupid shit she said is totally worse than calling her a Muslim born in Kenya.
You are a giant pussy. HTH -
Lot of revisionist history in that documentary. The heavy lifting on what needed to be done to address the economic meltdown had already happened before Obama took office. The fact that he didn't throw a bunch of bankers and Wall Street types in jail had nothing to do with fixing the economy and why right-wingers opposed him.

Weird the way they left out of the clip Obama saying he didn't know all the facts but that the police acted stupidly. Obama turned that Gates incident into a racial issue. The cops didn't and the press didn't. Obama made that an issue for no other reason that the cop was white and Gates was black and then cries about the reaction of the right?
Also, no mention that Obama's claim that Obamacare wouldn't cover illegal was a lie. The OUTRAGE was over Saint Obama correctly being called a liar.
This documentary is pure partisan crap. -

If I were the cop in the Gates deal I would have told Obama to fuck off when told about the "beer summit". JFC. -
All the opposition to Obama is depicted as coming from anger and racism. And the gall of the motherfucker who's entire political party is now consumed with racial identity politics warning about voices urging us to fall back into our respective tribes is just too fucking rich. Obama spent 8 years hyping racial politics. The son of bitch hired Al Sharpton to be the head of his get out the vote effort and then turns around and condemns anyone who might play racial politics? Look in the mirror motherfucker, your entire Presidency was about racial and ethnic politics.

That was a good series. I'd recommend watching the Bannon, Reich, and Coulter interviews in Youtube. There was a pollster too. Frank Lutz or something. He gets kind of weepy. It's annoying.

To me it isn't that complicated. The left has continued to move further and further to the left, while criticizing the right for being unreasonable. Has the right not given in on Gay Marriage? Have the right not given a wink & nod to abortion for 50 years while objecting to "Shout Your Abortion" type libs?PurpleThrobber said:
I found it to be a good refresher of 'how' we got to where we have. 2008 was all hope and change and unity and hugs....and in less than a decade, reasonable people are pissed off at the extremes.RaceBannon said:I passed on this one because Frontline. The Throbber recommendation carries some weight but still undecided
America always seems to be divided when a GOP (allegedly) wins the White House. Its all butterflies and rainbows when a Democrat is there
Bi partisan is agreeing with the left and giving them what they want. Partisanship is doing what your conservative base elected you to do which is also divisive. And racist
Obama pushed the wrong buttons when he embarrassed Trump at the DC Correspondents Dinner. That's the day the world changed imho.
Also pretty interesting too to watch the clip of Ann Coulter on Bill Mahrer literally getting laughed at by the leftists when she predicted Trump would win. Like guffaws and knee slapping. Which shows how out of touch the left had become to a rising tide of discontent.
After I tend to my chicken, planning on watching Part 2 this afternoon.
It's the slow creep of socialism, with shit like Zinn's "People's" History of the US and the NYT 1619 project greasing the skids for the ultimate overthrow of the Capitalist system in favor of what the hard & far left thinks is better.
Unfortunately, the US is not the racist, xenophobic, oppressive nation the left needs to believe and propagandize about to get their wish, so the pendulum is going to smack their power-hungry little asses about every 8 years or so when they go too far.
Obama let too many "critical theory" educated termites into his Administration, hired his inept basketball buddy Arne Duncan to run the Dept of Ed, and appointed his flunky, unqualified, POS partisan buddy Erik Holder as AG. To many Americans, it showed Obama to be an ideologue, reckless, careless, and throwing his lot in with power-hungry, America-last group of assholes who lust for power and unwarranted "revenge" - but which really means getting power and riches at the expense of the voters they act like they care about.
I like Obama, still. But as a two time supporter, I can also say he was a pretty weak, ineffectual President, especially in his 2nd Term.
