Obama was never anything but a "community organizer," he's never been qualified to be even a dog catcher or county sewage manager, let alone the highest office on the planet, and the last three-plus years have shown. He's been an unmitigated disaster at every level. If there weren't the lap-dogs in the media carrying him at every step, his positives in the polls would be in single digits. Ignorance will be the death of us all.
@BigDaddyCoolPR What racist joke? If somebody is referred to as being a big basketball fan? Huh? Obama plays a lot of golf too....is this also racist? Huh?
Sorry Don, this isn't Tonight Show with Johnny Carson anymore...your mean schtick might still work with simpletons in the Larry the Cable guy crowd but you are out of your depth with dry, intelligent humor, i.e. David Letterman. See that you'll be at our local Indian Reservation Casino in a couple of weeks...that is your audience.
Don Rickles is one of the few comedians who doesn't lick the liberals privates. Bill Maher the ultimate coward calls himself politically incorrect, what a joke. I've never seen a bigger mouth piece for the left.
@MROSEN62 Letterman like yourself and most of the people that watch him are bleeding heart socialists that want to turn american into the soviet union, Obama has done nothing and has put america into more danger. Don Rickles has more talent in his shit that you have in your whole body.
@partyspecialists The stupidity of your response is matched only by the pathetic bumblers who are contending for the Republican nomination. Apparently, their lies about Obama are being swallowed lock, stock and barrel by pea-brains like yourself.
@partyspecialists That little frog man's whole "act" was to insult invisible people in the front row of his audience..."the guy in the front here is looking around and saying Hey Doris , where is the buffet"!?
i just don't get the neg. comments on OBAMA. he tried to make healthcare affordable forpeople who could not afford it, end 2 wars initiated by GWB, mend fences with allies BUSH,JR. alienated, stablize an economy and save the banking system that JR. desimated (a repeblican would have done the same)..and yet he still can't get a break. i someties think it IS all about his race that people can't get past. that's a sad indictment on we as a people.
@bduhe219 Seriously... I'll admit he inherited a mess. But do you honestly believe he couldn't have pulled troops out of Afghan and Iraq wars sooner. Remember Obama had a mandate and the Dems controlled both House and Senate. Nixon let Nam drag on for over 2/3rds of his two terms. Don't you think both sides have been hawkish (...with the exception of Ike) for the past 60 plus years. And sorry, don't believe it has anything to with color, except green. Economy will be thee issue.
@gore53 when i mad the point about his color, it was to point out that if he had been white the issue would be different. he did an economis move that republicans would have done. ae for the afgan war...i would hope he would have pulled them out right away..put he was advised it would destabelize the region and in some ways that was correct. as you know, the dems are already viewed by many as a weak party on defence ( really they just deal with it more on the diplomatic end than reps.)...
@gore53 ...and the opposition would have slayed him. he would have been crusified even if it ha dgone well. vietnam was escalated much for the same reasons. as for ike...well that was eight years of under the table diplomacy and landed in kennedy's lap. kennedy listened to much of the c.i.a. and defence departments plans and took thier word and went through with much of their plans..disaster in his first year 9bay of pigs), there are more issues with ideology, than with the parties themselves...
@gore53 ...it's more to do with the ideologies. there are far fewer liberals (too bad), and too many hawk conservatives pushing defence dept. agenda. i am disappointed there is no insentive to push for peace and trade and communication with other nations. diplomacy used to americas strong point up until GWB. i think obama is under estimated as a one termer. the nation would never vote gingich, santorum...maybe romney. if the economy turns around better by september..obama may win re-election.
@bduhe219 Yeah, I think you've got it correct. Just the other night a neighbor and I were 'solving the world's problems' (a favorite past time). The guy is French and my age, both of us pushing 60, and we both remarked (nearly spontaneous) that there's a real dearth of quality leaders. No more great statesmen. No more great statesmen as we'd seen in our early youth.
@gore53 i agree completly. the days of diplomacy and "art of the deal" (not justy in businees), we have lost talking points and the desire to compromise. we all have to live on this blue ball in space and atempt to get along. to me that is not a sign of weakness, but of stregnth. if we continue to alienate the rest of the worlsd, we will lose our moral mandate to ensure human rights, equality and individual freedoms for the world. i would love to run for political office. not enough ppl like me.
@bduhe219 LOL Tell me about it. I'm feeling as lonesome as George Gobel as I 'mature.' It's like, "God, get me off this planet! Everybody's nuts except me and this 'bduhe219' guy."
@gore53 wow...someone else thinks i'm not nuts. lol..could it be true? could it finally be true? lol. i'm not quite as old as you, im 45 as of 2/19, but at times feel 84. i never knew i would live to be called old..but i'm beginning to see the summit and fel the downhill trek my come faster than the climb up...lmao!!
@bduhe219 To paraphrase the late, great Bette Davis: "Fasten your seat belt..." your life such as it is will soon greatly accelerate. But let's look for the life to come. God Bless ya.
@gore53 mmmmmmmm...a bette davis quote. i got one for you as well from ms. davis...:getting old is not got sissies:..i just hope whatever there is after we shed this mortal coil, is sweeter than this. i can only pray i have not disapointed GOD. if i did, i just hope HE is more forgiving and understanding than we humans. i hope HE has a sence of humor. LOL
@bduhe219 We do good. We do bad. That's not the measure by which God judges. He has provided a way to Him that removes ourselves (and consequently our pride, which, if you look around, is our main problem in the world). Believe we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Then trust that Jesus died for your sins. Mine, too, btw.
Hope you take Him up on His generous offer. A free pardon. By faith in Christ alone.
@gore53 you know, if i can be serious for a second, faith is a very difficult thing for me. there is the rational side that questions what cannot be proven and the optimist in me that wants to belive in what is not seen. the spirit is willing, but the mind is weak 9i guess). i am a roman catholic, and find solace in ritual, ceremony and the adoration of christ's suffering as an example of saxrafice for our felloe man. that is why, for me, conservatism is difficult. i cannot see another person..
@gore53 ..as purely an individual, but see them as part of a whole. what affects him, affects me. i cannot look at money as an entity more valuable than a human being. but i digress..lol..i believe in JESUS and hope that after my body has had enough, that there is a plain of pease, tranquillity or at least a rest for the energy or soul that inhabited that body. i fear death, because i don't know whats after this. i want to believe that GOD exist and awaits ALL HIS children..the bad ones....
@gore53 ...and the good ones. for me...love is unconditional and believe GOD does love all his children no matter what. i know this was a rambeling post...lol..but faith is a difficult concept for me and i struggle. never a struggle without an eye on GOD, but a struggle to understand and accept what is not seen and is not tangelable. i can only hope and pray that this life is not an end at death, but a new journey just in another deminention. i hope it is at least. i lost my very close aunt...
@gore53 ...in november..and the loss was very hard on me. i cried and prayed she would visit me in my dreams and let me know she is O.K. she did that a few weeks ago and she said she was alright and she could visit now and then when she was allowed. my dad lost his mother and he told me she did that for him also. i miss my oved ones who have pased, and hope to see them one day ion a different plain or dimention. i hope that same gift to you. (now let me cry again so i can laugh) lol
@bduhe219 Thanks for opening up and sharing your heart. I too believe in the whole, that no man is an island, we are all part of the main (to echo John Donne). I'm also acquainted with grief, having lost my wife years ago just after her 28th birthday. Bonjour Tristesse is a video on my channel about the night she died. It's a veil of tears here. But for you, the Good News is you believe in Jesus: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me has everlasting life. John 6:47
@gore53 i find comfort in knowing that many who have gobne before me walked that walk of faith. in the RRC we have saints and look to them as examples of what is is to walk in faith. i look to them as heroes and admire their courage and stregnth. i fall so so short of that stregnth in faith. will it ever be easy to believe? i don't know, but i take baby steps as i get older. i try and find the good in every man, even where there is little. i want to believe GOD does that as well.
@bduhe219 Read up on Saint Gregory of Nyssa. Greg believed, as I do, that God is not white hot burning anger appeased only by a pagan ritual of blood sacrifice. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Sin is not the issue. Christ brought justice to victory: Removing the separation of sin. Us from God. Us from each other. The same essence exists amongst the three Persons of God: harmony, joy, love and peace. He died so that we may have spiritual life with Them everlasting.
@gore53 WHEN IT IS ALL SAID IN DONE. AND THIS LIFE IS OVER. I MAY HAVE NOT BEEN A PERFECT MAN, FAR FROM IT. BUT I KNOW, THE WRONGS I HAVE DONE WHERE FREE OF MALICE, FREE OF VENDICTIVE INTENT AND FULL OF REGRET WHEN I CAME TO FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE WRONG I MAY HAVE COMMITED. WITH THIS, I SURRENDER MY SOUL UNTO god. IN THIS, I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY MY SINS CAN BE RECONCILED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR MY FELLOW MAN, WAS THE FIRE THAT FULED MY SOUL. WITH THIS....
@gore53 YOU KNOW..AFTER READING WHAT I WROTE TO YOU...I THINK I WILL SAY THAT AS A PRAYER EACH NIGHT. IT IS WITH THOSE WORDS I COMMIT MYSELF TO THE LOVE THAT I KNOW ID GOD.
@bduhe219 2 Cor 5:19 "That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
That's why Jesus came, to reconcile us to God. He has done this for everyone on the planet from time immemorial, cause NONE of us are perfect. If we believe He died for our sins we WILL live with Him, forever. Bank on it, and on His word alone. God does not lie. And... don't worry so much. Trust Jesus.
What an ignorant frog man. Never been funny especially as a bitter old creep. His "act" is usually to make fun of an imaginary person in the front row who is supposedly looking around stupidly. I feel sorry for him that comedy and the world in general has passed this doofus by and he doesn't seem to know it.
OBAMA IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY. PEOPLE NEED TO LIGHTEN UP TODAY. YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING TODAY WITHOUT SOME LIB HEAD CRYING. OUR COUNTRY WAS ONCE GREAT, NOT ANYMORE. HOW SAD!
It's not even funny -- sure, make fun of the guy, but wtf is the punchline? Someone says "the Iranians are attacking" and the President shoots a basket? What? Like he's pretending to shoot them down?
Real punchline: Rickles reminded a lot of people why they declined to vote for a grumpy old guy who's getting a little bit embarrassingly past his prime. Feel sorry for them both. McCain in 2000 was a formidable politician and way more up to the job than Bush the Lesser ever was.
@dackmont I can't stand the bamster, but I have to agree with you there. McCain had nothing to offer in 2008. Too bad he didnt win in 2000 when he threw his hat in the ring. I notice that he finally got the message and stayed out of the race this time.
So much made of so little. A comedian, people. He makes a living by doing two things. Making people laugh, and pissing them off. That is what they ALL do. Just laugh and move on.
At least Don Rickles has the guts to tell a joke at the expense of a president who the entire media thinks is teflon and "too cool" to be made fun of.
Congrats to our, oops , your president, for he has done a great job of separating what Lincoln brought together, OUR Country. Socialism creaps up on you as you can remember from school . Slowly and steadily until YOU have lost your freedom as well. As a conservative and ole fashed I loved our country they way it was- Meaning we were free. Now the minority runs what was suppose to be the majority ruling. Sad state we are ALL In . Congress needs to man up and do what the people want!
Oh, not this bullshit again. If you hate socialism, you have to hate public education, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, public roads, the military, receiving mail from the US postal service, etc. Do you hate all of those services that are paid for by taxes, which makes them socialism? Holy shit, I get mail and drive on government roads, I've lost my freedom! Life was sure better when we had dirt roads and sent letters by sea. That damn Obama screwed up everything!
@shelton705 yes education is something we can provide ourselves as individuals..roads and miltary we can not//theres a huge difference..libs use tax money to redistribute it amongst their cronies..like solyndra and the likes..repugs use it the way it was meant to be used..defense roads business fraud..things we CAN NOT do as individuals.but you are right obama has fucked up everything..the bigger the govt the smaller the people.libs believe in the "we" consrves believe in the individual.
@wolverines74 ... "W" had a lot more to do with stripping freedom, and kicking the int'l hornets nest than Barry has. Stay in Ann Arbor, freak. Love, Sparty
That's what the assholes should have done in the first place. That's why I don't wax nostalgic about the foundation of America. This country was founded by assholes that thought it was cool to treat blacks and women like shit.
Boy oh boy...people love to fight and argue over what men cannot accomplish!!!!! It's beyond their capacity. What has changed since the dawn of time? NOTHING, yet people continue to put their trust in these "men".
@atbglenn Like I said you idiot...Obama has done more for the country then Bush ever dreamed...And none of the GOP clowns running for president have a clue about anything...All they want to do is protect rich people and continue their attack on the middle class....If you were'nt such a parrot you would know that....By the way....staying in Iraq and going to war with Iran is stupid at best...Ron Paul is the only republican that understands that but the GOP ignores him...
@freein2339 looks like YOU are the parrot. "protect the rich republicans...attack on the middle class.." blah blah blah... go ahead tell me how wonderful and compassionate bamster is..."an economy built to last"..."making the 'rich' pay their fair share" The bamster is protecting the rich--- himself, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi... Oh yea and Geithner and rangel owe taxes they wont pay. The reason you agree with Ron paul is he is NOT republican or conservative He is Libertarian
@freein2339 Excuse me, but I'm not the "Adolph". YOU are and so's the the Bamster. I am Jewish and conservative. Bamster is a socialist, which is what your buddy Adolph was. If you still support the marxist disaster in the white house, after three years of result that are opposite the promise of his speeches, so are you. What have the republicans accomplished in 12 years? Nothing, not since Newt left congress. The repubs fell asleep and let far-left wackos run up debt and crash the economy.
@freein2339 Look, I don't wan't to argue with you over politics, but I've never played the upright, but I do play frettless bass on occasion. You sound like an okay guy to me, other than politics of course... I hate what's happening to this country, just my opinion. I'm a hard working American who pays over $20,000 in taxes every year.Obama's making it easier for lazy people to just sit on their asses and do nothing collecting social services from ME and others who pay into the system.
@atbglenn Obama didn't create this mess so how is he making it easier for people to sit on their asses.....???...The GOP has done nothing in the last 12 years...anyway..I see that you like Jaco and Alphonse Johnson...What do you think of Paul Jackson....???
@freein2339 The the only thing I'm familiar with that Paul Jackson did was Herbie Handcock's Head Hunters album. great stuff! His playing was awesome...
And Don Rickles was one of the very few comedians to laugh at The Obamessiah and to be enitirely correct about phony Barry...except BO is actually far, far worse. bestobamafacts com, thepeoplescube com, zombietime com, jihadwatch org, steynonline com, commieblaster com, breitbart com, michellemalkin com, horowitzfreedomcenter org, iowahawk tyepad com,
yeah with all of that what does this say about u? Bush did the same thing but i hear no complains so what does that say about u? read the bible dude and stop whinnying this is God's country everything happens for a reason not ur country nor mine GET A LIFE SEEK JESUS!
i see you don't know how to read do you? get a life dude ok like i said your are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else now do i have to say it again ? huh? or you just don't have nothing else to do? get a life go to church do something with yourself
then u know what then instead of complaining and whinnying about this president lying to you why don't you write a letter and explaining how u feel to this president! and fyi my people were forced to come over here and treated like second class citizens ur people were already over here so blame the axon Saxon Europeans who trick and lied to ur people only blacks that's not complaining is those Oreo s and they are in every race including urs! stop whinny do like the president says volunteer!
@tvap1122 yeah if u know what ur talking about look my man i'm not going tit for tat here ur are entittled to ur opinion just like me and everybody else ok God bless and keep walking
@meterman432110 Aww, the wittle guy doesn't like my opinion and now he's trying to play martyr! Funny how your trying to play good guy while your going around dissing everyones opinion because they arent on Obama's cock like you are and acting like your the only black person to ever suffer in the world.
@meterman432110 obama ain't got no guts at all. he lets the Chinese walk all over us, for starters. He's a spineless pig. You just like him coz he's black. To hell with what's best for the country, as long as you have your welfare check and government benefits.
Murphy and Rock can say NIGGA all they want but a white guy makes a basketball joke and it nearly starts a race war. I'm tired of blacks in this country setting a double standard for themselves. Guess what according to Murphy and Rock MLK and Obama are NIGGAS too. Well one is a half and half
@lonewolf13scott loy of nerve first off u don't know what blacks went thought in this country and still going thought so sir untill u walk in a black man shoes please tell it to the hand! but i do applaud your boldness and respect ur opinion THE PEOPLE"S PRESIDENT WILL BE REELECTED!
@meterman432110 No I dont know what they went through but I am Native American. We and we alone were targeted for extermination. We had our homes taken and forced onto useless tracts of land. The blacks have nothing to whine about until they have lived that and visited Pine Ridge. Google it and see for yourself. He is not my peoples president. In fact he lied to my people as much as Lincoln, Grant and Harrison did back in the 1800's. OBAMA THE LIAR will be removed
@lonewolf13scott Blacks are WELL aware of what Native Americans went through and you have our empathy! (no sarcasm) But to say 'Blacks have nothing to whine about'? Native Americans were ALONE targeted for absolute racial cruelty? Save your venom for those who TOOK your land and slaughtered your people. Not for the descendants of those brought here against their will. Perhaps you'd like Mitch McConnell as your president. Look at the face on the $20 bill in your pocket.
@KSmithism Good Job, Ksmithism!! Teach lonewolf to hate white people, especially white conservatives. Mitch McConnell is actually one of the few people in congress that makes any sense, he would make a good president. So whats up ksmithism, are you a descendant of "those brought here against their will"? Guess how they got here. African slave traders! They were already slaves before they were brought here. I saw Roots. Entertaining but not 100% accurate. The white slaveowners were democrats!
Too bad Rickles was wrong!!! Obama has more war experience than any of his rivals. And has done extremely well with the middle-east He is awesome and he is good at hoops. I'm proud to have voted for him as an independent moderate. if the republicans would actually DO something for the country instead of trying to defeat Obama, they might have a leg to stand on. They are sitting on the bench. Obama 2012 is my option! Cheers!
What it is, is this, I never think the comic is being racist...I always pictures the over reaction of the over sensitive person, whose race Rickles is talking about.
Is this crowd really that dense that they think this is a racial joke?? Every other photo op his campaign released was of Obama shooting hoops! That's just what he does! God, we read race into everything these days...
I remember Rickles bashing his own Jewish race more than the other race's he bashed and still very few people these days understand his humor. Check out the youtube's on Rickles roasting
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, etc... Oh, the good ole days! At least we Americans who understand old -fashioned humor can still pull up the Youtube video's of Don Rickles
@pockmarkedbuttocks Well, which is it? Obama is a Spic or a Mullato, can't be both! Yea, dicknose, you say you are white......PROVE IT!!! LET'S YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!
Yeah, well many of us thought Bush would have plenty of time to play on his ranch soon enough back in 2004, and look how that turned out... It also doesn't help that the current crop of Republican candidates are ignorant, evil douchebags. The only semi-normal one in the bunch is Ron Paul, which is why he'll never win the GOP nomination. The conservatives only select savages to represent them.
@vmcla Yeah buddy, we Catholics are gonna help evict the dictatorial Obamunist Regime. Seperation of church and state? Well, Stalin didnt like it either. And then B.O. has to help his minister Goddamn America.
Rickles bashes EVERY race and creed. Roasting and ripping on people is his specialty. How come Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy can make jokes about white people all day long and no biggie there? DOUBLE STANDARD.
@tonystewart14car Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy can joke about white people because they are blacks and black is considered a minority group. Minority groups have certain social protections such as taboos placed on the majority. In this case, white people who constitute the majority are considered in bad form if they make fun of black people.
@tonystewart14car The joke wasn't that bad or hurtful, just not that funny. If a racial joke is funny I'll laugh and I'm black. But to ask 'how come Chris Rock such can make jokes...' is a laughable question. ESPECIALLY with all the double standards blacks have had to tolerate. Joke 'double standards' and affirmative action is NOTHING compared to the shit that Blacks n Indians have gone through. Try to remember that next time u wanna claim some kind of 'White oppression'
@KSmithism Tell me, what reaction do you think we would hear if there was a startup W.E.T as opposed to B.E.T ? With the same programming pollicies? Or the United Caucasian College Fund? Or the NAAWP? Just a thought.
@johnrobel lmao Are u kidding me?! B.E.T. and such ARE THE REACTION to those 'what ifs' u just mentioned! Pick up a damn history book! lol Before u pretend that there's some kind of 'mass injustice against whites', Youtube PBS's Freedom Riders or Eyes on the Prize. There's NOTHING FUNNIER to minorities than hearing white people complain about the PETTIEST SHIT compared to having one's land stolen, slavery, Jim Crow discrimination, forced religion, genocide,......just a thought.
@johnrobel The reason 4 BET is that EVERYTHING ELSE was 'W.E.T.' as you put it! Reason 4 the NAACP was to protect rights of Blacks. Blacks were excluded from society! What are u gonna ask next? Why there isn't a White history month?(there's 11 of those by the way) Or why the 1st WHITE ballplayer's # isn't retired at every ballpark? Well into the 90's EVERYTHING on TV was W.E.T. and alot still is! Those things u mentioned were meant 2 help balance the unbalanced.
@johnrobel The entities mentioned are RACIST/SEGRAGATIONIST in thier verry concept. The point is, one group whines about injustice, while another gets accused.
@johnrobel What racists rhetoric? What kind of honesty r u expecting from me or anyone else who isn't in denial? The problem REALLY is that some Whites refuse to learn about racial history and then want 2 give opinions on youtube and sound really foolish. Find any literature or films on American race relations.You'll get you answers there. AND THEN see if you have the same opinions. Learn the facts, all the facts. If that doesn't satisfy u then you've already made up your mind.
Hey ksmithism, Don't lecture people about racism just trying to enjoy a joke from Don Rickles. The problem is that people like YOU refuse to learn history and the facts. Dont give us ** about 'correcting the imbalance'. The imbalance is that hustlers like NAACP, Al & Jesse have scared non-blacks for so long its reversed. The longer blacks keep listening to them, the longer they keep themselves hostage. Rickles is Jewish, as am I. WE have experienced prejudice for 3,000 yrs. and holocaust.
@imperial73 I don't HAVE a problem w/ the joke! If u actually LOOK you'd see that I'm responding 2 something some idiot went out of his way to write something ignorant to ME! As far as the Holocaust comparison, Nazis were DEALT WITH for those atrocities even 2 the point of executions! More blacks died during the slave trade than during the holocaust! (remember, YOU went there!) And NOONE so much as got a ticket for that shit! I KNOW history and am in NO WAY denying what happened to
@KSmithism ...the Jewish. But don't take your damn venom out on me, I was just correcting some idiot who was talking TO ME and I'm well within my rights 2 respond! And PLEASE refrein from stupid shit like implying that the Sharptons and such have us all brainwashed! History books and our own eyes point out injustices. And one more thing, we are quite aware of our shortcomings and understand that we can't 'blame the whiteman' for conditions we remain in! And I've never implyed that.
@KSmithism My beef was with this asshole who want 2 believe that Whites have somehoew been victomized by Blacks which is always comical to blacks considering the facts!(remember that word?) It was NEVER about the joke! See my other comments before you respond to a response that I NEVER MADE.
@KSmithism Whites ARE being victimized by blacks these days. Look in the news and you'll see that black youths are beating up white people and the media calls it 'flash mobs'. There's also the Panthers that have pledged to 'wipe white people off the face of the earth'. And Yes, Al, Jesse, Maxine Waters and Sheila j. Lee are nothing but race hustlers. The call Herman Cain an oreo -- black on the outside white on the inside. Disgusting. Whose land they take? None, yet. Just other people's money.
I think people are making way too much out of this. The audience didn't laugh because the jokes weren't funny, not because the jokes were politically incorrect. Even the best comics have an off night every now and then, and that was an off night for Don Rickles.
Liberals are terrified of offending blacks, gays and muslims. They pick easy targets like christians and conservatives and then think of themselves as edgy and provocative.
rickles couldn't do that joke today because it has turned out to be quite literally true.

i just don't get the neg. comments on OBAMA. he tried to make healthcare affordable forpeople who could not afford it, end 2 wars initiated by GWB, mend fences with allies BUSH,JR. alienated, stablize an economy and save the banking system that JR. desimated (a repeblican would have done the same)..and yet he still can't get a break. i someties think it IS all about his race that people can't get past. that's a sad indictment on we as a people.

@bduhe219 Seriously... I'll admit he inherited a mess. But do you honestly believe he couldn't have pulled troops out of Afghan and Iraq wars sooner. Remember Obama had a mandate and the Dems controlled both House and Senate. Nixon let Nam drag on for over 2/3rds of his two terms. Don't you think both sides have been hawkish (...with the exception of Ike) for the past 60 plus years. And sorry, don't believe it has anything to with color, except green. Economy will be thee issue.
gore53 1 week ago
@gore53 when i mad the point about his color, it was to point out that if he had been white the issue would be different. he did an economis move that republicans would have done. ae for the afgan war...i would hope he would have pulled them out right away..put he was advised it would destabelize the region and in some ways that was correct. as you know, the dems are already viewed by many as a weak party on defence ( really they just deal with it more on the diplomatic end than reps.)...
bduhe219 1 week ago
@gore53 ...and the opposition would have slayed him. he would have been crusified even if it ha dgone well. vietnam was escalated much for the same reasons. as for ike...well that was eight years of under the table diplomacy and landed in kennedy's lap. kennedy listened to much of the c.i.a. and defence departments plans and took thier word and went through with much of their plans..disaster in his first year 9bay of pigs), there are more issues with ideology, than with the parties themselves...
bduhe219 1 week ago
@gore53 ...it's more to do with the ideologies. there are far fewer liberals (too bad), and too many hawk conservatives pushing defence dept. agenda. i am disappointed there is no insentive to push for peace and trade and communication with other nations. diplomacy used to americas strong point up until GWB. i think obama is under estimated as a one termer. the nation would never vote gingich, santorum...maybe romney. if the economy turns around better by september..obama may win re-election.

@bduhe219 Yeah, I think you've got it correct. Just the other night a neighbor and I were 'solving the world's problems' (a favorite past time). The guy is French and my age, both of us pushing 60, and we both remarked (nearly spontaneous) that there's a real dearth of quality leaders. No more great statesmen. No more great statesmen as we'd seen in our early youth.

@gore53 i agree completly. the days of diplomacy and "art of the deal" (not justy in businees), we have lost talking points and the desire to compromise. we all have to live on this blue ball in space and atempt to get along. to me that is not a sign of weakness, but of stregnth. if we continue to alienate the rest of the worlsd, we will lose our moral mandate to ensure human rights, equality and individual freedoms for the world. i would love to run for political office. not enough ppl like me.

@bduhe219 We do good. We do bad. That's not the measure by which God judges. He has provided a way to Him that removes ourselves (and consequently our pride, which, if you look around, is our main problem in the world). Believe we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Then trust that Jesus died for your sins. Mine, too, btw.
Hope you take Him up on His generous offer. A free pardon. By faith in Christ alone.
gore53 1 week ago
@gore53 you know, if i can be serious for a second, faith is a very difficult thing for me. there is the rational side that questions what cannot be proven and the optimist in me that wants to belive in what is not seen. the spirit is willing, but the mind is weak 9i guess). i am a roman catholic, and find solace in ritual, ceremony and the adoration of christ's suffering as an example of saxrafice for our felloe man. that is why, for me, conservatism is difficult. i cannot see another person..

@gore53 ..as purely an individual, but see them as part of a whole. what affects him, affects me. i cannot look at money as an entity more valuable than a human being. but i digress..lol..i believe in JESUS and hope that after my body has had enough, that there is a plain of pease, tranquillity or at least a rest for the energy or soul that inhabited that body. i fear death, because i don't know whats after this. i want to believe that GOD exist and awaits ALL HIS children..the bad ones....
bduhe219 1 week ago
@gore53 ...and the good ones. for me...love is unconditional and believe GOD does love all his children no matter what. i know this was a rambeling post...lol..but faith is a difficult concept for me and i struggle. never a struggle without an eye on GOD, but a struggle to understand and accept what is not seen and is not tangelable. i can only hope and pray that this life is not an end at death, but a new journey just in another deminention. i hope it is at least. i lost my very close aunt...

@bduhe219 Thanks for opening up and sharing your heart. I too believe in the whole, that no man is an island, we are all part of the main (to echo John Donne). I'm also acquainted with grief, having lost my wife years ago just after her 28th birthday. Bonjour Tristesse is a video on my channel about the night she died. It's a veil of tears here. But for you, the Good News is you believe in Jesus: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me has everlasting life. John 6:47

@gore53 i find comfort in knowing that many who have gobne before me walked that walk of faith. in the RRC we have saints and look to them as examples of what is is to walk in faith. i look to them as heroes and admire their courage and stregnth. i fall so so short of that stregnth in faith. will it ever be easy to believe? i don't know, but i take baby steps as i get older. i try and find the good in every man, even where there is little. i want to believe GOD does that as well.
bduhe219 1 week ago
@bduhe219 Read up on Saint Gregory of Nyssa. Greg believed, as I do, that God is not white hot burning anger appeased only by a pagan ritual of blood sacrifice. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Sin is not the issue. Christ brought justice to victory: Removing the separation of sin. Us from God. Us from each other. The same essence exists amongst the three Persons of God: harmony, joy, love and peace. He died so that we may have spiritual life with Them everlasting.

@bduhe219 2 Cor 5:19 "That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
That's why Jesus came, to reconcile us to God. He has done this for everyone on the planet from time immemorial, cause NONE of us are perfect. If we believe He died for our sins we WILL live with Him, forever. Bank on it, and on His word alone. God does not lie. And... don't worry so much. Trust Jesus.

Real punchline: Rickles reminded a lot of people why they declined to vote for a grumpy old guy who's getting a little bit embarrassingly past his prime. Feel sorry for them both. McCain in 2000 was a formidable politician and way more up to the job than Bush the Lesser ever was.

@johnrobel The reason 4 BET is that EVERYTHING ELSE was 'W.E.T.' as you put it! Reason 4 the NAACP was to protect rights of Blacks. Blacks were excluded from society! What are u gonna ask next? Why there isn't a White history month?(there's 11 of those by the way) Or why the 1st WHITE ballplayer's # isn't retired at every ballpark? Well into the 90's EVERYTHING on TV was W.E.T. and alot still is! Those things u mentioned were meant 2 help balance the unbalanced.

@KSmithism All your racist rhetoric doesnt answer the questions. But in away it does, doesnt it? With racist objections. You have no honesty.

@johnrobel The entities mentioned are RACIST/SEGRAGATIONIST in thier verry concept. The point is, one group whines about injustice, while another gets accused.

@johnrobel What racists rhetoric? What kind of honesty r u expecting from me or anyone else who isn't in denial? The problem REALLY is that some Whites refuse to learn about racial history and then want 2 give opinions on youtube and sound really foolish. Find any literature or films on American race relations.You'll get you answers there. AND THEN see if you have the same opinions. Learn the facts, all the facts. If that doesn't satisfy u then you've already made up your mind.

Hey ksmithism, Don't lecture people about racism just trying to enjoy a joke from Don Rickles. The problem is that people like YOU refuse to learn history and the facts. Dont give us ** about 'correcting the imbalance'. The imbalance is that hustlers like NAACP, Al & Jesse have scared non-blacks for so long its reversed. The longer blacks keep listening to them, the longer they keep themselves hostage. Rickles is Jewish, as am I. WE have experienced prejudice for 3,000 yrs. and holocaust.

@imperial73 I don't HAVE a problem w/ the joke! If u actually LOOK you'd see that I'm responding 2 something some idiot went out of his way to write something ignorant to ME! As far as the Holocaust comparison, Nazis were DEALT WITH for those atrocities even 2 the point of executions! More blacks died during the slave trade than during the holocaust! (remember, YOU went there!) And NOONE so much as got a ticket for that shit! I KNOW history and am in NO WAY denying what happened to

@KSmithism ...the Jewish. But don't take your damn venom out on me, I was just correcting some idiot who was talking TO ME and I'm well within my rights 2 respond! And PLEASE refrein from stupid shit like implying that the Sharptons and such have us all brainwashed! History books and our own eyes point out injustices. And one more thing, we are quite aware of our shortcomings and understand that we can't 'blame the whiteman' for conditions we remain in! And I've never implyed that.

@KSmithism My beef was with this asshole who want 2 believe that Whites have somehoew been victomized by Blacks which is always comical to blacks considering the facts!(remember that word?) It was NEVER about the joke! See my other comments before you respond to a response that I NEVER MADE.

@imperial73 'Hustlers'? Ha Ha! Who's land did THEY take? lol

@KSmithism Whites ARE being victimized by blacks these days. Look in the news and you'll see that black youths are beating up white people and the media calls it 'flash mobs'. There's also the Panthers that have pledged to 'wipe white people off the face of the earth'. And Yes, Al, Jesse, Maxine Waters and Sheila j. Lee are nothing but race hustlers. The call Herman Cain an oreo -- black on the outside white on the inside. Disgusting. Whose land they take? None, yet. Just other people's money.

@johnrobel Exactly!! Hit the nail on the head. Because its politically incorrect to be white, Jewish, Christian or conservative.

I think people are making way too much out of this. The audience didn't laugh because the jokes weren't funny, not because the jokes were politically incorrect. Even the best comics have an off night every now and then, and that was an off night for Don Rickles.

Liberals are terrified of offending blacks, gays and muslims. They pick easy targets like christians and conservatives and then think of themselves as edgy and provocative.
