Janeane Garofalo said on MSNBC that the tea parties on tax day were "racism straight up." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o_xSAdB2aY
She also said these people were only protesting because a black man was in office. Give me a break. Why can't people just hate his policies? What does race have to do with it? I'll admit that there are racist people in America but that doesn't mean that every person that protests President Barack Obama's policies is a racist. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I am not a fan of Obama but it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin. Garofalo seems to think that Obama the savior can only be disliked by racists and rednecks.
What makes someone that protests a PRESIDENT's spending and tax policies racist? I think it's ridiculous that liberals blame every problem on George W. Bush or on racism. Get a grip. Obama is a radical and many people recognise that.
Why can't liberals just take credit for their mistakes? Congressman Barney Frank is not entirely to blame for the country's financial problem but he largely responsible for it.
A Harvard law student asked Frank if he thought he deserved any of the blame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rYt4yrsj38
Frank raged on the student and said this was republicans attack on liberals. Give me a break. If Frank thought he wasn't at all to blame then that's all he had to say.
Instead Frank made himself look like an idiot by getting upset and not answering the question. Frank should have the character to admit the current economic crisis is partially his mistake and just say he made a mistake. If he believes he made no mistake than he should've just said it.

Take A Bow
President Barack Obama went on his first trip overseas recently and has received quite a bit of criticism for bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WlqW6UCeaY
The White House Staff have said that Obama wasn't bowing but simply lowering down to reach the king's hand. I don't think bowing to the Saudi king was that big of a deal. I don't think he should've done it but I think he's made other mistakes that are much worse.
I think the more important part of this whole thing is the blatant lie. Anyone who watches the video can tell that Obama is bowing to the king. I think that Obama and his staff are insulting our intelligence. If he bowed to the king he should just say it was a bow and that it was a mistake if he believes it was a mistake but don't lie to the country.
If Obama was merely reaching down to shake the king's hand, then why didn't he bend over that much when he shook Queen Elizabeth's hand? She's only 5'4. It's ridiculous.
It reminds me of when Obama said he didn't know about Reverend Jeremiah Wright's extreme and radical views against America. He sat in Wright's pews for 20 years! To say he didn't know these things, insults our intelligence.
My biggest concern with Obama is that I don't think he can be trusted. He made a number of different statements about his relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers. In Obama's defense, it did finally come out that he launched his political career in Ayers' living room.
Obama once again refuses to be honest with citizens of the country he's trying to run. I find it comical that while overseas he apologized for America's arrogance and various other things. Maybe Obama should apologize for his own mistakes instead of the country's.
