Obama's first 100 days:

Showing up on Leno: Check
Making March Madness bracket: Check
Doing 60 minutes: Check
Increasing deficit: Check

"I think it's cool that he went on Leno and I watched the "60 minutes" interview as well last week. The guy is just so articulate and he is so well versed in something that is so new to him and I think he has a good team around him. It sounds cliché, but he makes me feel proud to be an American."

Debra Messing also told Tarts that our new President is not only meeting her expectations, but going far beyond.

"He is thoughtful and considerate and he gets all the information before he speaks which I think is a wonderful quality for the ruler of the free world to have," she explained.

The ladies of "Entourage" certainly showed their Obama-loyalty too.

"It's not an over night process. It's going to get worse before it gets better; we're all kind of in the same boat now. Everybody's broke and everybody's struggling and he makes me feel like I know him and that I know Michelle and that they?re like us and they?re out to try to save the USA. It's just an amazing period to watch him take on these challenges and everyday in the news to hear about AIG or possibly global currency changing, it's incredible. He's facing big challenges and he's got a lot of support and I'm just praying things get better," Debi Mazar said, while co-star Perrey Reeves added that Obama is a "wonderful leader" and she?s looking forward to his future endeavors.
What's wrong with those quotes?
They are completely empty and meaningless.

He looks good, he sounds good, he was on Leno etc etc.

NOTHING about his policies and actions. It is all about looks and appearances.

I?m just not crazy about your post and I heard all about this, and he?s gonna do that and change and change, so okay ? I'm still dressing for a bad post over here buddy and we've got bad posts at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate.

No, racism has nothing to do with being a Palin fan. Retarded is the only option. :laugh:

Like dbk asked above... Who called her a racist?

And who is calling anyone that disagrees with Obama a racist. Honestly - I havent seen any of that.

ah yes.... another one blinded by hopenchange...

That's nice... A one lined insult that means nothing... Let me ask you this again really slowly.

who... called ... Angie... a... racist.

Provide a link, or even a name, or just STFU.

How dare you bring logic into ATPN! :|

;)

The answer, of course, is that no one called her a racist. I disagree with a lot of what Obama is doing policy-wise, and no one has called me a racist yet. The tactic here is for Republicans to use faux outrage to disguise the fact that they don't have any better ideas and that, had he been elected, McCain's policies likely would have been scarcely any different.

you forgot his success at imperiling the smallest minority: the individual.

So does this mean that you'll be changing your stance on social issues and will stop seeking to imperil the individual the right to do what they will with their own bodies?

Well I figured this kind of thing was going to happen. I knew this was how it was going to be - if you disagree with ANYTHING Obama says, does, etc, then your racist. This is going to become a serious problem if not put in check. (Race wars, riots, etc). Of course, this is what the liberals want. They're favorite weapon on things like this is the ol' R word.

Son, you believe God popped reality into existance in seven days.


And you obviously are one who believes existance just popped out of, well, nowhere and nothing. So how 'bout you take your own advice about shutting the fuck up?

Which people have been accused of being racists because they disagreed with something Obama said?

Is it your position that somewhere in the article it lists someone who called Angie Harmon a racist? I'll save you the 30 minutes it'll take for you to read the article yourself.

It doesn't.

I'm not convinced that anyone, anywhere, ever called her a racist, but if somebody did, it's probably because she had just said something racist. That's the way it works. I have seen no evidence that anyone has been called a racist simply for disagreeing with Obama.

If it's such a "serious problem" that you predict race riots, surely you can find one factual example of someone who said something critical of Obama, and was called a racist on the basis of that alone.

Personally I'd like to say that KDOG is the most gullible person on P&N without being called a Nazi. I knew this would happen eventually, and we need to address it before a holocaust breaks out.

Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn?t like how President Obama is handling the job ? but she?s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday?s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don?t care what color he is. I?m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he?s gonna do that and change and change, so okay ? I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."

Speaking of dislikes, the starlet has also had enough of the double-standards in the media.

"I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience. I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ?What is our president doing? How unclassy!? But Obama does it and no one says anything," Harmon said.

And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.

"I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me."

However Harmon is definitely in the Hollywood minority when it comes to her criticism of Obama as other lasses at the Latisse party were quick to advocate their unequivocal support.

"The sort of criticism over the last couple of weeks is a bit unfounded, he's been in office for barely any time and I think he inherited a lot on his plate and he's doing a pretty remarkable job," quipped Mandy Moore. "I think it's cool that he went on Leno and I watched the "60 minutes" interview as well last week. The guy is just so articulate and he is so well versed in something that is so new to him and I think he has a good team around him. It sounds cliché, but he makes me feel proud to be an American."

I think she does protest to much...

Before the election, I read and heard a number of people, as Ms Harmon, connect their not supporting Mr Obama and his race. But I can not remember anyone saying that if you disagree with Mr Obama you are a racist.

But obviously he may not get support because of it...:roll:
Yes, this is old and before the election but for anyone to claim there wasn't the "racist" label applied to people that didn't support BHO is dishonest at best.

Sheesh. The NY Mag article accurately points out that one possible reason the race was so close was because there is a percentage of the populace who simply wouldn't vote for a black guy. Plenty of vids on youtube evidenced this fact. Racists do actually exist, you know. But that's not what we're talking about here.

What we're talking about is someone articulating a reasonable opposition to a position advanced by Obama and then being called a racist in response. Though I'm sure some lefty whacko might issue such a response, no one serious would.

Edited per RedDawns qualifying comment

I somehow doubt Angie ever said to anyone "I don't like the way this stimulus package is structured" and then had someone call her a racist.

What we're talking about is someone articulating a reasonable opposition to a position advanced by Obama and then being called a racist in response. That does not happen.

Do you really not see the difference?
Oh it happens but not by anybody that's taken seriously. They're the winnar111 of the left.
