African-Americans have been an integral part of the White House since it was built in part by slaves. In Family of Freedom: Presidents and African Americans in the White House, veteran U.S. News White House reporter Kenneth T. Walsh traces this sometimes fraught history from its roots all the way to the Barack Obama presidency.
As he began his second year in office, Obama's presidency was not going well. His legislation to overhaul the healthcare system was still bogged down in Congress. The unemployment rate, which polls showed was the top concern of most Americans, remained stubbornly high at about 10 percent, and much worse in many African-American communities. Obama's job-approval ratings had dropped markedly from the astronomical levels of his first few months to below 50 percent.

This is true within a shrinking set of people. Race is a hot button for me, and I just don't tolerate the PC talk. The pendulum swung very far in a "white is bad" direction and I don't equivocate at all on the issue now. I get in people's faces.
Congress needs to impeach him just for that remark.
Does 0 have to pay Jesse Jackson a royalty for that?
This line of campaigning is gonna fail when he’s up against Herman Cain ... a Tea Party favorite.
Only for leftists. 0bama needs a fat portion of the middle to get re-elected. And those folks don't have the same response (as leftists) to obvious race-card manipulations.
In simple English, he thinks, IF YOU ARE BLACK, you need to get a helping hand, in buying grocery, paying for babies born out of wedlock, keep things THIS way. Tea Party people are people who want to stand alone, depending upon their own strengths to pay as they go...so, I guess, Yes, the Tea Party is racist.
Right on!
It doesn't matter. Just the fact that it is overwhelmingly white make's it 'racist'. Of course the anti-white rhetoric & implications are in and of itself 'racist' which seems almost totally lost on the right. The left/Marxist know they can keep the right off center and force them to spend time spouting all kinds of nonsense defending the mere accusations.
It is the equivalent of Bernie Madoff calling someone a thief. Instead of either ignoring it or basically telling them to F Off way too many start tap dancing about their racial bona fides. It is funny in a sense because it is just like Pavlov's dogs. The left says 'racist' and the right salivates. The fact that Obama is heavily involved with all kinds of racial crap from Eric Holder & Rev Wright for example should disqualify him yet the right just keeps playing their game.
I am currently reading Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father”. I was asked twice in a day by two people who inquired if I had read his book, when comparing his outlook on race to that of Clarence Thomas, whose book I just finished reading.
It really ticked me off that I had to read the thing to make my point, because first, Obama is a pathological liar, secondly, he is a racist, and third, the guy is filled with hate. I have a limited amount of time, and from what I know, it isn’t going to tell me anything I haven’t figured out already from watching him, listening to him, examining his history and seeing who he associates with.
So far (about halfway)my impressions have been right on the money. A miserable, narcissistic excuse for a human being filled with race hate and anger.
It was a lot easier reading Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.
In Clarence Thomas’ book “My Grandfather’s Son”, he talks about his father telling him the difference between a rattlesnake and a water moccasin as he compares them to people. He said he preferred the rattlesnake, since you can tell it is going to attack and you expect it. Same with the scumbag Alinsky (Obama’s hero when he isn’t fawning over the memory of his Marxist father or his racist ex-”minister”)
Alinsky is the Rattlesnake. Obama is the Water Moccasin.
Only a racist would falsely accuse a whole nation of racism.
This, coming from the one who is obsessed with race and who hates this country.

Just some of the Tea Party racists that Our dear leader is talking about... Feel free to add to the list.
..and enemies, as he once stated
Obma is truly an idiot of this is what he thinks. I could care less what color one is I do care about being competent. Sking color means nothing competence is everything and on that count I have to say “FAIL”
Let’;s try that again....

Tea Party folks are protesting "divine decrees" issued from Mt Olympus...er the Washington, DC Imperial Class, who are obviously not mere humans and thus are not of the Human Race, ergo, they are of another race.
It is against this other race that we are opposed. You know, the old "Divine Right of DemocRATS and Unions"
Whatever happened to that promise that he was going to unify this country? He has managed singlehandedly to divide it more than ever. Set back race relations 50 plus years.
Something near 95% of blacks voted for Obama. But that AIN'T racist???
I agree 100%. Of course it is. Just as having a Black Caucus is or Eric Holder is or Affirmative Action is and all kinds of anti white stuff. But that is the point that race is being used against whites as a battering ram and being used to destroy our culture, history and heritage in the name of ‘racism’. It is being used on the right to politically keep whites in check while at the same time the left uses race to garner political power, set asides and all kinds of race based crap.
