On Race And Obama's Racism

I thought this was a great thought-provoking piece from Lloyd Marcus at American Thinker:

Please consider the validity of what I am about to say rather than having a knee jerk reaction dismissing it as being "over the top."   Folks, we have an irresponsible egocentric evil man occupying the Oval Office. 

The Democrats and the liberal mainstream media sold the American people on Obama, "the man."  Despite Obama's zero experience at running anything, they said a leader with his spirit and heart was"what we have been waiting for".

Fearful of criticizing our first black president, politicians politely say, "President Obama's policies have been unfruitful," while ignoring the huge elephant in America's living room.

The elephant of which I speak and America's major problem is "Obama, the man"; socialist, divisive and evil.

My dad says a snake can stay under water a very long time just like a fish. But eventually, it must come up for air. Why? Because, it is not a fish. It is a snake. Obama continues to come up for air revealing his true self.

President Obama said the Tea Party is racist. That's the unmistakable meaning of his statement that race is a "key component" of Tea Party protests. The liberal media, NAACP and Democrats have been relentlessly promoting this same baseless allegation. When final confirmation comes down from the highest office in the land, the Oval Office, that the Tea Party is racist; the allegation becomes "official" in the minds of millions. President Obama is slandering millions of decent hard working Americans who simply disagree with his progressive/socialist agenda.

Think of the repercussions. Obama's indictment of the Tea Party will birth tremendous racial discord across America in schools, churches, and civic life.  Obama's proclamation will cause Americans to double down on their already extreme caution when criticizing our black president.  Sadly, I suspect such intimidation is a part of Obama's plan; anything to empower his mission to "fundamentally transform America."

Make no mistake about it, Obama and company have successfully intimidated many white Americans into not dissing the black president in public.

I stopped in a fast food restaurant for a burger. Around fifteen white seniors were having lunch. I overheard them ranting about Obama's overreaches and socialist policies. Upon seeing me, a black man, they became silent. I was tempted to say, "Please continue, I hold-heartedly agree with you!" Too bad they did not notice my Tea Party Express t-shirt.

Barack Hussein Obama received more votes than any other presidential candidate in American history. So Obama alleging millions of Tea Party patriots are simply upset because America elected a black president is disingenuous, absurd and manipulative.

Obama is exploiting his race and sacrificing national race relations solely to implement his progressive/socialist agenda. Callously and strategically, the President of the United States is pitting millions of black and white Americans against each other. Lord help us, that is pure evil.

Quoting deceased make-up legend, Mary Kay, "Leadership spreads from the top down."

A fine black young adult whom I have known for years has always appeared to be racially color blind.  He idolizes Obama.  Suddenly, I have noticed this kid beginning to view everything through a racial lens. His latest absurd statement, "Friends" is a racist TV show because there are no black cast members."

While I admit this example is anecdotal, I suspect Obama's divisiveness is inspiring millions of Americans to choose sides along racial lines.

Before knowing the facts, Obama immediately assumed the white police officer was guilty of racial profiling in the Professor Gates case.  This suggests Obama has racial emotional baggage.  Such a luxury cannot be afforded the president of "all Americans."

Obama is not who most Americans thought he was and is exactly who the liberal mainstream media hoped he would be: their Great Black Hope for implementing their progressive/socialist agenda.

They will do whatever it takes to protect Obama; ignoring his character flaws, lawlessness, deceptions and lies. If Obama says two plus two equals five, the liberal media will defend it as being the "New Math."  We cannot trust the liberal media to tell us the truth regarding Obama.

Obama's inauguration brought tears to the eyes of millions of Americans. Blacks are only 12% of our nation's population, which means it took many million white votes to put Obama in the Oval Office. Thus, most of the American tears of joy were white.

President Obama is fully aware of this truth.

Obama willfully dividing Americans by exploiting his race for political gain is a despicable betrayal of the whites who elected him. But even more disturbing, it reveals the true character of the man running our country. America deserves much, much better.

I agree.  This goes back to my suggestion that Barack Obama is fundamentally an ideologue.  He has an agenda (remember, he campaigned on 'transforming America') and he will pursue it no matter what, even his own political future.  He once said that he'd accept being a one-term President if that meant he accomplished his agenda, and I believe he meant that.  When Bill Clinton suffered massive Congressional losses in the 1994 election, and thus faced a GOP Congress, he moderated.  That's why some of the things that happened during his Presidency (welfare reform, balanced budget amendment, etc.) were quite conservative in nature.  Clinton was, above all things, a savvy politician interested in his own power and well-being, and pragmatically chose to move to the center in order to score a second term.

Obama is not pragmatic.  He's an ideologue.  I do not for a second believe that he's going to moderate after the historic 2010 election.  He pledged to fight a potential new GOP majority before the election, he pledged to fight against the GOP majority after it materialized, and his actions and policies ever since have indicated no change in direction.  In one sense it's a good thing because America is really getting an under-the-undies look at full-fledged liberalism, and to America's credit, that liberalism is being rejected.  Of course, it's possible that, if Obama's agenda is not actively rolled back, he can push enough liberal policies far enough that America will never fully recover.  I think a lot of that will depend on the next election.

Regardless, at the center of everything Obama does is the idea of class warfare, envy, deceit, and divide-and-conquer, and the first line of division for him is always race.  His philosophy foreshadowed it, his words reveal it, and his actions prove it.
