Yes, that may be a rather harsh judgment, but i think last night President Obama showed the country just how racially focused he really is. I am of the opinion that his performance last night in "defense of the Health care overhaul" was a pathetic example of just how shallow and ideological this man is. His passion for "transforming this nation" is driving dramatic change that if implemented will transform us from a nation of the grandeur of the individual to a nation that thrives on the grandeur of the state. This is a transformation that flies in the face of the majority of Americans, and it must be an agenda that is resisted at every turn.
That said, President Obama proved , once and for all, that he is a black with a paranoia about his blackness. This man is not a "post racial President" he is a President who is driven by racial concerns. His comments in the "health care reform legislation press conference" on the situation in Boston with respect to Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. evidence his obsession with racial matters. It is a pathetic mistake for him to have commented on that incident, not just because he simply did not have all the facts, but that he simply positioned himself as completely biased about blacks and police activity. I truly do not have all the facts, and I have no idea what the real "story" is, but I know this, because I do not have the facts, I have no right to take a position on the issue. Obama is the President of all the citizens, not just the blacks in Boston, yet he gave the police officers no credit for having done their job properly. President Obama made a huge mistake, and if he were half the legal scholar he claims to be, he would never have opened his mouth on the topic.
This slip of his conscious thinking is very telling, and in my view clearly demonstrates that the Reverend Wright influence is profoundly present in the deep recesses of Barack Obama's mind. This racial bias, if expressed by a white would be called "racist." When Barack Obama says it, the press simply lets him ramble on and questions nothing of the comments. Sorry, but I think Barack Obama last night proved to one and all...he is probably a black racist, just like his mentor Rev. Wright. These comments infuriate me, not because I have a position on the incident, but because they were wholly inappropriate for the Chief Executive Officer of the country.
Dear Gerry -- I totally agree with your observations and comments about Barrack Obama (as indicated by your comments and observations). This man believes that he is equal to our enemies, when he comes to dealing with Foreign Chiefs of State; well he might be "right" for a short while, however...given that is now considerable activity developing between Mainland China, and the Taiwanese, I believe that Barrack Obama's thoughts are way off point. I am also disturbed that Barrack Obama is focused on providing illegal immigrants (largely from Mexico) free healthcare.
I don't know what you observe in Florida, but the Hoover, Alabama local police and the Alabama State police regularly arrest illegal immigrants for bringing in all kinds of drugs (mainly for youths) - via I-10, and I-20). In that regard, I wonder how this benefits our state (or any state for this matter...)however, it is quite obvious that the Hoover Police Department (who collects and deports the illegals), somehow provides funding for numerous Hoover Police Vans that roam our interstates, and side roads.
