Do u know what Obama Coffee is?

Oh give me a break. To say that the OP is even ISF forum newsworthy is a stretch, and there are a lot of pointless threads here. For the record, I think Obama is a truly awful President, and on foreign policy matters, he is extremely weak. I say this publicly. Do you hate that?

It's truly ridiculous how overprotective Obama supporters are of his fragile reputation. Many of these are the same people who smiled approvingly at Bushitler signs. I guess double standards are better than no standards at all, amirite?

Be sure to take a chill pill on that break.
 
Obama's like my coffee: hot and sweet. And he lives in the break room at my work. The analogy fails past a certain point. I'm pretty sure the Secret Service would stop me from poking a wooden stirrer into him and stirring vigorously as well.

So.... what is the racist part? Referring to Obama as black? Comparing his skin color to coffee?

That's my take on it.

Racism: You're stupid because you're black.

Non-racism: You're stupid. You're also black.

Given that we all know what the term means in USA race discussions, and "black" seems to be the standard term for that social/political race (as distinct from biological race), it's moronic to expect people to ignore facts that are obvious to anyone with a television. As long as they're not saying his flaws or triumphs are due to his race, it's not racism.

Turkish proverb: Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love. Not sure I want a president like that, though!

I've been trying to figure that out.
She didn't bring up his blackness in a negative way. But it's as close as one can get to a racist joke without actually going over the line.
I hate that she would be so publicly disrespectful of a sitting POTUS.

I could handle that if it was a republicker president - they all after Eisenhower deserve all the abuse they get and more!! Even from furriners!!

The Syrian "red line" is the classic example of weakness in international affairs. Lack of transparency despite claims to the contrary; the farcical spin that we are defeating ISIS yet have no plan a year later. His inability to even work within his own party. His constant resort to insults and his petty self-absorbed reactions. His repeated interference with the course of justice in non-national matters like the beer-summit and the Trayvon Martin homicide. Let's not forget his sniping and insults at the Supreme court. His unwillingness to take a stand or make hard decisions on issues like Keystone pipeline.

How is he not weak ?

Syria gave up its chemical weapons and we have not had a repeat. So how was that a mistake?

Transparency is not related to "weakness".

We have as good a plan against ISIS as one can have given the nebulous nature of them and current circumstances.

He actually cares about social matters! Oh the horror! How dare someone bring a light to things that should have been brought out into the open so long ago!

Yes and yes.

Racist Jokes 101: Any joke in which you could remove the racial/nationalist/minority element and have it still "work" (for certain definitions of work, e.g. this joke isn't even funny and wasn't back when Bobby used it to describe Adlai), then it's a racist joke.

"Ordered a cup of coffee yesterday but they make it too bitter, so I asked the waitress for a weak coffee. She shouts back to the counter clerk, "One Obama Coffee!" " Doesn't need "black". "Black" is included because he's that black guy in the white house and his blackness is the salient factor.

When I was a kid we had ****** jokes. Before we knew that they were ****** jokes, they were "Little Moron" jokes. They didn't need black people in them, but including black people just made 'em funnier, 'cuz black people are funny, especially if they're doing stupid things, right?

Black Coffee /= weak coffee.

Source? As far as I can tell, this has been passed around from a scene that Spike Lee shot for "Malcolm X". Denzel (Malcolm) murmurs it, kinda to himself, while he's preparing his cup of coffee during an interview with a potential recruit. Not that I want to doubt Spike's veracity, but he's been known to take poetic license. (It's a take on a famous speech Malcolm often gave, but it's not accurate, on the whole.)

Let's not forget that Reagan sent marines to Lebanon on a peacekeeping mission, then withdrew them when there was a terrorist attack against them. He succumbed to terrorists. Obama actually got a tangible result for his threats: Syria gave up its stockpile of chemical weapons in order to not be bombed.
