You can criticize the president anytime you want. The fact that you criticize him doesn't make you a racist but the term "the Chosen One" is racist and it was coined by racists during the last election meaning Obama was the chosen one from his race. This is America and free speech is protected but this is the MOPO board and it's supposed to be about movies and related. Not about how you hate the president. Brek's constant comments about "The Chosen One", the pricing Czar, the Green Socialist may be appropriate on a FOX News board but not here. FRANC

It's not necessary to do these little barbs, you guys. So I want to make this perfectly clear: Brek is not fond of Obama. Franc is. Neither of them seems racist to me. And I'm not racist because I called him His Highness. (or chosen - same thing). It's not a remark about color; it's a remark about arrogance and entitlement. Half my relatives behave like Obama. At the Thanksgiving table if you say, Oh G-d, my father and brother will answer! I've been an Independent all my life and I do see where you're both coming from. But please "... and your reference to The Chosen One is racist." is simply a non-sensical statement. Let me ask you this: I'm very happy with the Clean Air bill that just passed the House and the new automotive standards caused by Obama. I'm quite disgusted that he's letting the coal companies mine the tops of mountains and that he let Sarah Palin continue to allow the killing of wolves by ignoring the appropriate legislative fix. So, am I racist? Try this one: My OB-GYN is a black woman, whom I chose because she's good at what she does. My daughter married a black man who thinks she should support him. As her mother, I think he should've been flushed down the toilet in his father's load. Am I racist? I'm certainly a sinner, for I posted this on MoPo. I'm very politically oriented, but I don't post it to MoPo... as a rule. However, this Obama bickering has gone on for months now, folks. Whatever you all say about him is fine with me but please stop calling his opponents racists unless they truly are! It's just not fair. It's OK to disagree with the President, as it always has been, and it's silly to call it racist. In fact, it's ludicrous and I find it insulting to be called one. I have a lot of gay friends and sometimes we disagree. None of them has ever retorted that I'm homophobic! OK. I'm done.

You're inappropriate and your reference to The Chosen One is racist.

Make a little suggestion to have The Chosen One appoint a movie poster pricing Czar and see what happens. You'll have death threats and even be called childish. On top of that my David Letterman tickets got cancelled. I really liked Karl Malden. He reminded me of a serious Jimmy Durante.
