What would happen if Obama publicly screamed at people the way Christie does?

1. The media would respect him for his fiery, no-nonsense spirit

Just kidding!

Folks would get the vapors if Obama acted like Christie. They'd probably call 911.

It's only cool to be a jerk / hot-head / bully when you're a Republican

8. Only ok when you're white

2. Media and repug chaos,

some Dem bewilderment, some thanks.

3. I'd like to see Obama scream at the birthers and the fake benghazi scandal folks, etc...

It would make me feel good - LOL

[cyberswede]

4. I remember when the media painted Howard Dean as "angry"

...seems almost quaint now.

5. Scary, scary black man stereotypes. It would be completely counterproductive ...

... for most people and a certain percentage would come completely unglued.

In addition, it would go against his own nature.

7. Exactly. Any time he shows even a little fire...the media already goes there

It's just like How Jackie Robinson had to keep his cool in Major League Baseball when he became the first black man there. Different set of rules. It's bullshit, but it is true.

12. You're right -- the Jackie Robinson comparison is apt. nt

6. black thug gangbanger etc

9. The media would tape an "angry black man" sign to his forehead

When McCain or Christie scream at people like that, they are showing passion and are being straight talkers according to the media.

The media would never allow Obama to get angry like that because he's black. It would be unacceptable to them.

Yes, racism is still very real in America and this applies to the President.

What's amazing is how many people don't see it.

Thankfully most people here do.

10. They'd call him the Angry Black Man who was unstable to run the country.

[MADem]

11. Angry black man--can't have that, now can we?

If he were a woman he'd be "shrill" to boot!

[Skittles]

13. he'd be called an angry black man

probably uppity too

[ZombieHorde]

14. We would see white privilege in action. nt
