(30,481 posts)Not sure exactly when it reared its ugly head. When I hear things like this
"I suspect that, on Social Security, we've got a somewhat similar position. Social Security is structurally sound. It's going to have to be tweaked the way it was by Ronald Reagan and Democratic Speaker Tip O'Neill." - Obama being asked what the major differences between he and Mitt in a debate.
my racist side seems to show itself. You see, I think that what is said by the President actually helps to shape public opinion. I felt racist emotions when he let the public know that the republican presidential candidates position on SS has validity. It is a dark side of me that I try to hide from.
Arming bad people in Syria has also brought out my racist side. New found love for the Patriot Act. Yep, that does it. Whats she not telling you about her healthcare plan, It forces everyone to buy insurance, even if you cant afford it, and you pay a penalty if you dont. - Obama. Shit, at one point we agreed on that. But now that he has evolved I am a racist. My stance against NAFTA, dammit, racist.
Overall it is something that I have become over the last couple of years. Can't really pinpoint the date.
