Is Barack Obama Three-Fifths of a President?

Shameful

The question, in all of its absurdity, must be asked: is Barack Hussein Obama three-fifths of a president?

Since the inception of the office of the President of The United States there has always been a level of respect that is given to the office if not the man. This has not been the case for President Obama’s tenure.

It is a common occurrence in U.S. politics that to the victor goes the ire. Most often 49% of the population does not agree with a particular party or candidate. There is a guarantee for citizens to voice their displeasure in the first amendment and it is one of our most cherished rights. But that right can and often is a double-edged sword.

During the presidency of George W. Bush, I along with most of the people I know

(who didn’t vote for him-twice) were calling him everything but a child of God. In our eyes we had good reason as the man made numerous gaffes on the international stage and in all fairness he was a horrible statesman, worse orator and presided over the worst economic and domestic period in American history since the Civil War.

Enter Barack Obama; perhaps not a staggering icon of experience but a reassuring voice of reason at a time when America was two minutes from midnight.

After nearly a decade of having, as near as anyone could tell, a brain dead “cowboy” running roughshod over the U.S. Constitution and the people it was enacted to protect, senator Obama won the reigns of a nation that was entirely out of whack and headed pell-mell for the cliff of oblivion.

Clevon Little as Bart

It smacks of Mel Brook’s classic western send up “Blazing Saddles”. Bart, the black Sherriff (Obama), is sent in to Rockridge (United States) and of course, is hated by the people even when he is nice and prevents the town from being overrun by Mongo (terrorism, economic ruin, etc…) by tricking and placating him. The sad part is that in Blazing Saddles, the townsfolk-as ignorant and vile as townsfolk can get-eventually grow to respect and admire Bart. Here in the United States, the reality is that the more president Obama does to help, the less he is liked.

No president in history, from what history of such events can be compiled, has been as disrespected as president Obama. The office of the President of the United States is the most powerful office on the face of the planet, the most important position known to man since the invention of society and our president is, in the eyes of many, a nigger.

It’s not that he is being disrespected as a politician or a law maker-which he is-but he is being disrespected in such a way as to incite violence among his supporters and supporters of civil rights the world over.

Keep it down!

The man won a Nobel Peace Prize essentially for having common sense. He won arguably the most coveted and respected award in the world for injecting hope, not just in the American people, but in the world! The Global Consciousness Project measured a response in its network equal to then greater than other events that have affected the world! Around the world he is heralded, at home he is a witch doctor from darkest Africa coming for your god and your guns.  

Lauren Victoria Burke wrote a piece for politic365.com that lists the 10 most disrespectful events in Barack Obama’s tenure. First of all, the list is not exhaustive and there are at least two events that have never happened to a president-ever. So, not only are there 10 “most disrespectful” moments (so far) there are two unprecedented events. The list doesn’t include the myriad Tea Party rallies and other demonstrations depicting the president as a big lipped aberration.

Actually happened

So again, the question must be asked: is Barack Obama a three-fifths president?

For the uninitiated, the three-fifths clause in the Constitution allows a slave to be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of taxation and representation in the Congress.

This congress has been woefully inadequate in passing any type of legislature, even bills that uniformly help the whole of the United States, and I wonder if it has to do with the president’s creed or his color. The opposition heaped upon this administration has exceeded that of any other administration when facing an opposition congress. So the question is: why?

Found the crazies!

Why are there people falling out in the street begging to get their country back? Back from where or from whom? The “Birther movement”-a blot on the flag-asking to see president Obama’s birth certificate, as if the IRS, FBI, Secret Service, etc were not thorough enough. Also, let’s not forget he had a driver’s license, student loans and was a United States Senator! If we’re being honest, the founding fathers were not born in the United States; wouldn’t George Washington’s birth certificate prove that he was born in a British colony? Absurd, right? Yes. It is. 

I’m not going to do the math for you; fractions were never my strong suit. But by all accounts this president, who has done more in his tenure than the previous president did in two terms, is being treated like a second class citizen. Why?
