Obama Says Race a Key Component in Tea Party Protests

In a new book, President Obama talks candidly about race and the presidency

But Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent "Tea Party" movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough, he said.

Cheese with that whine, Cry Baby? He can’t accept that the entire country doesn’t get on its knees and worship him, because he’s entitled to it after all.

Window into that lying ugly soul. We all know he isn’t President of all the people, just his and Eric Holder’s.

Funny coming from this Kenyan beneficiary of affirmative action who was only elected due to white guilt. If he was white he never would have beaten Hillary Clinton. Millions of American women voted Obama due to some king of racial guilt. Most of the guys who voted for Obama had Gov’t jobs or unionized jobs or were effete East Coast liberals.

Hey BO how about falsely accusing the white policeman in Ma..
What about not prosecuting the black panthers for voter intimidation. How do you defend listening to Rev. Wrong for over a decade. I thinks this may be the kettle calling the pot black.

He directly insults over half the electorate not once, not twice, but repeatedly.

He’s just that confident in our inability to stop his tyrannical reign. There are dictators of 30 years who wouldn’t dare to do and say what this disgusting failure of a man is doing and saying.

Someone should tell him that we aren’t racist as we can’t stand the white have either.

By the way, how does he have time to write another book? Any other president would be consumed by the job. I guess that’s why he doesn’t have time to deal with pesky little things like the bad situation in the Middle East.

A total disaster and failure.

The ONLY reason he won the election is because of racist Blacks who voted 125% for him.

Sorry, did I say that 125% of them voted for Obama? I meant 130%

You know what they’re doing...

They continue to accuse the Tea Party of racism even though they can’t prove any of it.

Then they suddenly come up with a sign or a video (of a Democrat plant engaging racist behavior at a TP event.

And then we’re screwed. Pure Alinsky.
