Obama: Race a "Key Component" in Conservative Opposition
Pundit Press ^ | 3/2/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/02/2011 9:09:22 PM PST by therightliveswithus

In a new book, President Barack Obama is quoted as having stated that race is a "key component" both in the Tea Party's rise and conservative opposition as a whole...

But as soon as one might believe that the conversation is run of the mill, the President begins veering into different regions. For example, Walsh writes (emphasis mine):

"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."

And just as bad:

"A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to "take back" their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn't dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a "subterranean agenda" in the anti-Obama movement—a racially biased one—that was unfortunate..."

That President Obama could believe such things truly shows how out of touch he is. It makes me wonder what else he doesn't understand.

The Great Unifier is once again on a divide and conquer binge.

Obama paid attention in church. Playing the race card is used as a tactic in Liberation Theology.

Racists always see racism everywhere.

he doesn’t believe that. It’s just the way liberals attempt to marginalize their opponents.

This is why Sarah needs to run. She’s the only one who will call Obama out on all of this crap. All the others (I’m talking about the ones above 2 percent of the vote) will wilt like McCain did in 2008.

Race only matters to racists.
We hear about Christians in other countries who are killed for professing their faith in Jesus Christ. They aren’t ashamed of Christ and they aren’t bullied into denying Christ, even at the risk of losing their life!
How many professing Christians in our country voted for Obama despite his belief in abortion at any time for any reason along with each American’s need to separate church and state.
Christ had a message for people who were ashamed of him in this life. He also spoke of people who were “luke warm” about their faith.

I always remind Christian Obama followers that they chose Obama over their Christian values and beliefs.
The discussion usually stops there or I’m told not to judge.
When I look at the Democratic Party platform it occurs to me that Satan would use the same platform if he ran using his real name!

May the great Usurper keep to this line!
Happy are we who are not racist, but who support the Constitution and rational thought!
The Would-Be-Uniter lacks both affinities!
Liberal, self-righteous, self-important people will love it, but most rational Americans see right through this crap!

Well, if there’s a race of people with their Marxist heads up their @sses, then maybe so, since that would be the Libtard race - can’t stand ‘em.
