Subject: RE: BS: Obama Brushes Dirt Off His Shoulders
Fantasma,

The problem I find when I read through this thread (yes and follow the links) is that it is full of Hot Air and attempts to make sense of it.

"Come down off your high horses, people. It is clear you all didn't have ANY of this shit on your radar about Obama. If you did, you would be able to talk about it."


There's nothing to say.

He did it - it was funny - cool even - but sooo last week baby.

It won't start a revolution.

The most you can say about it politically is that it might have the effect of encouraging young people to get more interested in politics.

What it proves about you and/or other mudcatters is out of my radar.

We know that people here like folk cos it's a folk site.

Is that a surprise to you?

Do you think that people here expect a folk president?

Do you think people here are going to change their view of Obama out of Shock?

Oh my God - we didn't realize he liked ... aaaaaahhhh ... RAP!

Quick lets get chicken licken. ducky lucky, goosey loosey, etc etc etc and tell thhe president ...

... AAAAHHHHH ... Obama might be president one day!!!!!!

People on this site are (sadly for you) mutidimensional and not so easily pigeon holed I'm afraid and you will find consistently that attempts to do so will meet only with the type of responses you have received so far.

I asked you before what point you were trying to illustrate by posting the lyrics.

Same question, only differently phrased ...

... what are you on about? ...


Are you perhaps trying to say that Obama's use of Black Music is a cynical exploitation of his own culture to try and garner support from Black Voters?

How should he act?




Here is my extensive and well thought out response to the substantive aspect of thhis thread.

ready?


Thanks for the link.

... erm ...

.. that's it ...
