| LOS ANGELES — Conversations must begin honestly. It is perfectly legitimate to analyze leaders with critical lenses. People fight and die for this freedom. Times are serious, and Obama may not be. The question of whether OBama is lazy evokes everything from discomfort to rage. Yet asking and answering questions provokes "national conversations" that President Obama cherishes. Racism exists (thankfully, such views are marginalized) and in the past. Calling blacks "lazy" is one way for racists to spread their message. Denying the connotation denies history. So how can calling Obama lazy not be racist?

Comments: He´s arrogant, lazy and incompetent. The only thing I would quibble with in the article is that he says 0bama is a "Hawaiian Christian" and not a Kenyan Muslim subversive. There is too much evidence to the contrary.

One has to wonder why the term "lazy" is considered racist.

Is Obama lazy? Well, Duhhhhh! He´s also un-American, has a Communist agenda, doesn´t know much about economics except how to spend us into oblivion, wants to take our guns away, has control over our lives, and the topper is that he is most probably a Muslim.
Is ´Hawaian Christian´ a fancy word for Muslim? Oh, yeah, nothing is right in America anymore.

As the symbolic first black president Obama had to succeed. If he failed or was only mediocre the public might begin to question the media´s decades of promoting the benefits of diversity.
So the media had to pretend Obama was successful even though he wasn´t. They did this by blaming other people or other factors for his lack of accomplishments. Also, he had to be re-elected or it would make America look intolerant. But now that he has been re-elected, and can´t run again, the media might begin to be a little more honest in its Obama coverage.

Lazy in terms of work ethic and intellect? His past performance (or lack thereof) speak louder than words.
He has coasted all of his academic and political career. Period. Most do not challenge his mystique because of his bona fides, his skin color and his charisma.
Sooner or later, his artifice will crumble. It´s fragile enough as it is and it will not be pretty.

Yes, he is lazy. He is also self-aggrandizing and petty. And he hates America and Americans. He doesn´t like black people, white people or any other race of people. He´s a misanthrope. He´s also greedy. And not too bright. He´s conceited and foolish.
Shall I go on? He´s one of the worst human beings ever to hold high office in the history of the world. And, no, I´m not exaggerating.

Many people some of us might call lazy are actually quite industrious:
1. The EBT crowd have to apply and go through all the work to get "free" money.
2. Criminals have to go to a lot of work and take risks to gain access to other people´s stuff.
3. Vote cheaters have to go to various polling places - usually all on one day.
4. zero had to run all over the country speechifying and lying like a rug to maintain his 1 billion $ a year little personal kingdom including the multi-million dollar vacations.
Oh the humanity!!!

I don´t know if he is lazy about things like doing housework, picking up after himself, etc. But indications are Obama is intellectually lazy, which I think is quite common among super-brains as well as dullards. Leftism is intellectually lazy. Leftists never challenge their own assumptions. Leftists rely on cliches, stereotypes and caricatures. The footage of Obama as a law instructor at the blackboard is shockingly sophomoric. His laziness means he hasn´t learned anything, he´s carrying on with the same old Community Rabble Rouser shtick.

Pretty successful for a lazy guy. Lazy is the opposition who can´t pin the tail on this donkey. He does everything but drive the truck across the border with the guns in it and his ´enemies´ can´t put him anywhere near it. In fact they can´t hold anyone responsible for a direct order from DC to AZ to sell deadly weapons to obvious drug cartel criminals. How does a ´lazy´ man pull that off? Scooter Libby went to jail over NOTHING and these guys explain on camera how they are not going to enforce voter intimidation laws because you are white and they are black. Yet nothing happens. Lazy? No.

Yes, he is lazy. It´s a job requirement for this group. Soros probably hand-picked him for that alone.

"Mainstream critics do not see Obama as evil, but then being evil would require effort."
that is a knock out funny line.
Was it Doug Brinkley or Michael Beschloss (both of whom should know better) that said that Obama has the highest IQ of any president in history. How on earth would he know that and on what is it based? I am not saying Obama is dumb but I haven´t ever heard him say anything I regarded as particularly intelligent. Does anyone seriously believed Obama has a higher IQ than say, Thomas Jefferson?

And we can reduce our deficit, stabilize our debt, and do so without sacrificing the kinds of investments that are going to be required to grow. During his remarks, the president spoke of the

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

The psychiatrist for suspect, James Holmes, had warned campus police that Holmes was dangerous and homicidal a month before the shooting took place.

Rep. Peter King of New York on Friday cast Sen. Marco Rubio as a hypocrite for voting against the the Hurricane Sandy relief package and expressed disbelief that the Florida senator would then turn around and try to raise campaign money in the region. Mr. King questioned how Mr. Rubio could vote against the $60 million in relief for New York and New Jersey when Florida has received loads of federal money for Hurricane victims. “Guys like Marco Rubio of Florida, with all the money that you people have gotten in Florida over the years, with every hurricane

Attorney General Eric Holder expressed “concern” Thursday evening that black men are unfairly served with longer prison sentences than white men and that America’s prison system demands overhaul. “Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long for no good law enforcement reason,” Mr. Holder said, in remarks to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.” Mr. Holder said in the Politico report

President Obama and other Washington politicians are getting a bum rap on TV news as money-grubbers and power-grabbers, views the president´s former top speechwriter calls lies, especially those aimed at his former boss. Jon Favreau told students at Harvard University´s Institute of Politics that TV portrays political leaders wrongly, and that the public ends up with a bad view of those in power. "I think that a lot of people turn on the news today, a lot of young people, and they hear people tell them that every motivation of every politician on either

Joyce Karam, Washington correspondent for pan-Arabic daily Al-Hayat, offers a sobering assessment on the Al-Arabiya website of the current administrations efforts in the post-”Arab Spring” Middle East. She begins by noting a how a minor recent diplomatic walkback highlights the White House’s contradictory policy: It was only fitting that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces another traditional trip to the Middle East on the same day that the U.S. embassy in Cairo withdraws its tweet advancing the case for Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef as he faces intimidation from the Mursi government.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
