What other term nicely sums up Obama's over-the-top wealth flaunting behavior, and his fish-out-of-water reaction to sudden wealth and power?

I'm the one who started this thread, and I chose the title.

Nigger rich is a term for black people who go around buying things they can't afford, yet act as if they have lots of money, not what you've described above.

I think the article is about Obama spending funds America doesn't have, so the epithet applies.

I was responding to Matthew's comments, not the article.

And, for the record, I'm not afraid of the word nigger, but I normally only apply it to uneducated obnoxious American blacks.

"There are some who, finding themselves in a desperate difficulty, seem to assume that there can be no remedy except a desperate remedy. They choose the remedy solely because it is desperate; & will not even listen to any counsel unless it is a counsel of despair.

These, for instance, will generally be found among the enthusiasts who accept universal communism; their enthusiasm being tinged with euthanasia, & having a sort of sublime savour of ѕυιcιdє. There are others, at the opposite political extreme, who think that everything can be done still by old men bullying young men : by roaring in a raucous voice that all foreigners are fools; or by imagining that they can kick nations as they used to kick NIGGERS.......".

"We are born under a House of Lords, as birds under a house of leaves; we live under a monarchy as NIGGERS live under a tropic sun...." Both of these are taken from G.K. Chesterton, the one from Europe on the Brink, a column in the Illustrated London News, the second from the chapter "Empire of the Insects" from What's Wrong With The World.

Too bad that no one until now realised that Mr. Chesterton was the Snoopy D or whatever of his time, since apparently it's a word fit only for rappers.

The phrase was used in the article, and what's interesting is that only blacks are allowed to use such a term about a fellow black. If the article had been written by a white man, it wouldn't have been spread as far, including to my inbox. That's actually a sad testament to our collective state of imprisonment by liberalism and political correctness.

Where I come from, you call a spade a spade (no pun intended!)

I realize it was in the article.  If you wanted to post the article at all, there wasn't much you could do about that.  

I understand that blacks use this word.  Lots of people to lots of deplorable things.  That hardly makes it okay to copy them.  It seems to me that this is the sort of argument a whiny child would use, not a Catholic man.  

Where I come from, you talk like a follow of the Lord Jesus Christ, not a rapper.  All the time.

Oh really? And how do you explain the Lord Jesus Christ calling the Pharisees, the holy men of his time names like "snakes, vipers and hypocrites"? That was about as bad as it could get back then, far worse than calling anyone a "nigger" today.

And for what it's worth, I hear whites constantly calling each other that word everyday, it hardly has the same sting it did say ten, twenty years ago. the libs are behind the times on this one, they need to catch up these days.

Thomas Sowell said on Larry Elder the other day that the nigerians will riot in the streets if Obomba is not re-elected. Wrong -- the real fun will begin when he IS re-elected.

Our Lord called them hypocrites and all the rest becasue they behaved hypocritically.  He did not insult their ethnicity, which in any event was the same as His.  

And sure, some whites, especially young ones, do call each other that.  Do you really want to st the bar for Catholic behavior that low?

Fixed it for you.

actually, Obama is highly educated, that is the problem, he is a Messiah figure for blacks, most of which are taught early on to eschew education-formal or otherwise......when one of them does endevour, they are accused of "trying to be white" or some such nonsense.

Bill Cosby had noted this many times, a lot of stinging criticisms of his own community and rightfully so.....

He does not come across as being educated. And we know his degree from Columbia is a fraud. What education does he have?
