Obama Nominates Anthony Foxx As Next DOT Head

Good points. I think Obama's "blackness" is just another tool on his mental thumbdrive of political pandering apps. He is more accurately a slightly tanned reincarnation of his white mother's burning hatred of America and its perceived effect on the struggling 3rd world micro-economies she adopted, combined with a truly messianic ego playing to a voter base of unparalleled naivete. And I wish more self-identified balck people would weigh in on the forums I frequent. Race hatred is growing in this country, fed by the imploding economy and fanned by media and politicians of all stripes. Open discussion is needed.

@Summicron 30% of Americans believe Obama is a secret Muslim, 13& believe he's the Anit-Christ and 4% believe Lizard people control politics (latest Public Policy Polling poll) and Sum people believe Obama uses his 'blackness' for political points. Funny that no one ever accused Dubbya for propogating his effervescent whiteness. Fun thing is 'Murica is an incredibly ignorant population, regardless of the subject. Foxx seems to be a good choice and the rest, time will tell.

@dolorean I'd agree with most any vile thing you'd care to lay at W's expensively booted feet.

dolorean: Funny that no one ever accused Dubbya for propogating his effervescent whiteness. You must have missed the pundits and hysterics - and not from the right - who claimed that the Christian George W. Bush was going to turn the United States into a big, evangelical version of Saudi Arabia. Or that 9/11 was an inside job. Or that the Koch Brothers are conservative activists who are out to rule America (never mind that they support gay marriage and legalized marijuana). Or that Walmart is responsible for every bad thing - short of erectile dysfunction - that has happened since the Dust Bowl.

@geeber Been trying to edit that comment Summicron, sory bout that, but TTAC editing wont load for some reason. @geeber, to your first point, really? 'Murica didn't become a more evangelical radical place since W's Presidentc? Beg to differ. Second, left AND right wing pundits both espoused 9/11 was an inside job. Tin-foil hat conspiricists know no political affiliation sometimes. Finally, I do believe Wally World is responsible for many things I would characterize as shameful, but would never claim it to be responsible for all.

@geeber I had a similar problem with the editor.

I agree. I come to sites like this for my love of cars. Sometimes politics plays a part in it(EPA, Bailouts) sometimes tits and ass are included (both babes). I dont care or give a rats ass about someones race, political leanings or sexual orientation. I just want to talk and read about F@$king cars.

@Chocolatedeath Find me a site about anything anywhere that doesn't have the same thing happening in its comments. And public discourse is only going to get more rancorous. Besides, this particulat story was about a political appointee, so it got political.
