I saw this article and thought the title was interesting.  I continued to read it, and I am now utterly confused.  Why on earth do you want your president to be angry?  Moreover, why is CNN using the “angry black man” card?  Yes, Americans are angry.  I’m angry.  But do you know what?  Anger typically clouds your vision.  Clearly, Obama has applied that to the way he handles things.  Actually, this is what I admire about Obama.  He is calm and collected, and his moves are always well-calculated.

I’m not even going to go into how absolutely asinine the “angry black man” quote is.  Actually, I will.  Who wrote this article?  Why on earth is it relevant to bring up fictional depictions of “angry black men”?  More importantly, why are we even making it an issue?  Right now, I’m a confused white guy.

I don’t get it.  I just don’t get it.

BP was granted “categorical exclusion” from an environmental impact analysis of “Deepwater Horizons” in April 2009 by Obama’s head of interior Ken Salazar.

From environmental-activism.suite101:

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) granted the British Petroleum project a “categorical exclusion,” a NEPA loophole that is designed for “minimally intrusive” projects such as outhouses and hiking trails. Without the exclusion, British Petroleum would have been required to produce a report that included a study of the probable damages caused by a blow out or spill.

The Center for Responsive Politics noted last week that candidates for federal office have received more than $3.5 million from BP and its employees in the past 20 years. CRP reported that the “top recipient of BP-related donations during the 2008 cycle was President Barack Obama himself, who collected $71,000.”

I smell a rat!

Who woulda thunk it?

I think it is really depressing how many Americans thought they were electing an honest guy into office when they voted for Obama.  However, as many people forewarned, Obama is just another politician.  There is honestly not that much that is special about him, aside from his natural charisma, which, quite frankly, should not count for much.
