    I thought that was the 'white people do their most ignorant impressions of what it would be like to be black' forums.

    It was so silly for the first 30 seconds. Then it just got old, and you realize that there is a huge amount of ignorance out there.

    I thought the site was legit. I just saw the link on a gun forum they were making fun of it so I had no reason to think it was any kind of a parody.

    What exactly was the point of posting it in this thread anyway? The topic is about Obama reaching out to the Muslim world.

    Almost every post I read was a dumber version of TJ, or bigtexxx, where white guys try and post in ebonics in order to make it seem like a bunch of "scary" stereotypical black people feel like they can leech off the state now.

    Then there is also the group who act like they are communist and post about Obama hopefully being able to rig the system so that he can never be removed from power and turn the U.S. into a communist state and how happy they are about it.

    It's all people acting like the extremists worst nightmare.

    A new kind of politics indeed.

    You should have co-opted basso's thread nomenclature.

    Yes, because multi-tasking is beyond the capability of any president.

    "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy," -- Barack Obama

    “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect. But if you look at the track record, as you say, America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there’s no reason why we can’t restore that. And that I think is going to be an important task....” -- George W. Bush

    What does this post mean? You're attributing an Obama quote to both Obama and W. Do you have some source that shows Bush said the exact same thing as Obama did?

    He's apparently hoping if he closes his eyes and pretends hard enough, all the good things Obama has done in just one week in office could be attributed to Bush.

    It worries me when I start thinking like basso, but I thought it sounded a little like this guy:

    I'd like to think that when Obama has a lot more wrinkles and gray hair, we won't have enormous evidence that he didn't mean a bit of it, but with his acceptance of the Bush plan in Iraq and ramping up of the Bush plan in Afghanistan/Pakistan's FATA, I have serious doubts.
