And now some of those same characters are pissed off because Obama makes every effort to appeal to the right. Apparently, their delusion was even worse than I thought. They must have believed that Obama could appeal to conservatives while leading the country in a progressive direction. And yet the steadfast maintain now that they "never thought he had a magic wand!" so they aren't disappointed. No, they just follow their leader whither he goest and forget the roadmap they touted only months ago as he finds it politically expedient to change the cadence that they march to.

And FYI, the term "bimbo" has historically been a non-gender-specific perjorative.

Here's but one.:

Ass Why Hod, Bruddah: Racism in Hawaii

By Kalikiano Kalei

[...]

Even among long-time haole residents on the islands, these racial antagonisms are a very real concern in schools as readily identifiable haole school children and adolescents mix together with the darker colored offspring of Hawaiian, Japanese-Hawaiian, Chinese-Hawaiian, and Filipino-Hawaiians in the educational process...quite often with unhappy results. The antagonism seems to be especially pronounced among the younger people, despite the fact that perhaps some of that is a 'normal' part of the immature growth phase among all children.

Always heavily criticized for its limited successes in addressing learning difficulties, the Hawaiian public school system perennially verges on near-total dysfunction in terms of failing to meet generalized mainland academic standards of proficiency. It wouldn't be completely unfair to say that incidents in which haole kids are set upon or otherwise harassed at school by locals occur with predictable frequency these days; haole teachers imported from the mainland to teach predominantly non-haole Hawaiian adolescents regularly resign and return to the mainland, disappointed and severely disillusioned by their experiences with this uglier side of Hawaiian culture, after only a short exposure.

In short, racially polar antagonisms now exist quite near the surface, almost as a daily fact of Hawaiian life, even in many of the more heavily urbanised parts of the islands. While the situation is not anywhere as bad as it is in certain parts of larger mainland cities, where gang affiliations exert unhealthy influence on the ability of residents to circulate freely (and unharassed), there are distinctly delineated parts of all major Hawaiian urban areas where it is ill-advised to be a haole out alone, at certain times of the evening, night, or even day.

So I have a message for them, from all of us: Not this time. We have come too far. We will not turn back. We will not back down.

Back down from what? The Obama family Holiday Gift Catalogue photo-shoots? I think you actually have to hold firmly to a position before vowing not to "turn back" ... and, demonstrably, multiple times before pulling "this time" ex rectum.

This is comedy gold, though.

If this is how the Obama camp thinks we can energize the base -- by promising them a health care pony for $5 to the same Democratic Party that is home to the likes of Baucus, Nelson, Lincoln, Lieberman, and the rest of the obstructionist gang -- then we're in for a world of hurt in 2010.
