Obama's Press Conference: He Plays Race Card Again
atlas shrugs ^ | July 22, 2009 | Pamela Geller

The lapdog media in what can kindly be described as a docile press conference on healthcare lobbed Obama a race charged question giving him, yet again, another opportunity to whip the American people with the racism charge and demonize law enforcement as racist. He grabbed the opportunity on national television, in yet another seizure of the airwaves, to divide and create discord. Mind you this is Obama's fourth prime time press event in almost as many months - more than Bush had in his last three years (and the craven networks would not accommodate Bush's last one (while we were at war).

How very disingenuous. Are we to believe Obama is not familiar with what actually happened? That he didn't read the officer's report. Officer James Crowley’s official arrest report Or is it another opportunity to scream racism and further divide Americans. This is exactly what I outlined here in my oped piece at WND.

Here is what actually happened.Over at View From the Right: ......Officer Crowley, been called to Black Studies Professor Henry Louis Gates's home in Cambridge, Massachusetts last Thursday to investigate a reported break-in. A white woman in the neighborhood had called the police when she saw two young black men apparently forcing their way through the front door of the house. As soon as Officer Crowley arrived and got to the front door, he encountered, standing inside the door, none other than Gates, who instantly began yelling at him in an extremely loud voice that he was a "racist police officer."

Like frosting on a cake.

He delivers his health con speech and ends it with a planted question to tell his real constituents to hang in there for the reparations and that he’s still pulling for them.

During the campaign last year, Obama every two weeks or so like clock work would play the race card. He does this when he feels pressure. I’ll bet he played it all his life.

He is using race, and descendants of slaves, to browbeat Americans. The goal, as always, is to make the entire country slaves of the government. How tragic.

“Obama and his crew are all about “Race” and crying “
Racists”.”

...and the really funny/ironic thing about that is that the guy is actually more white than anything else!

Frankly I am getting sick of him blaming President Bush and crying about how he got the worst economic crisis in history BS I remember the gas lines under Jimmy Carter the double digit unemployment and interest, the Iran hostage crisis and on and on. The fact is Mr Obama is the President and he needs to stop blaming everyone else.
At my job I think my boss would fire me if I continued to blame the person who held the job before me for things that went wrong.
And as for his comment about the police department and the Harvard Teach he could have just said I am here to talk about health care he is showing his colors more and more everyday.

His Kenyan Daddy would be so proud.

America just sucks. Oh well.

And we need a Kenyan to tell us how much it sucks.

If America sucks so bad he should go back to Kenya.

Sounds to me like the whole incident was CONTRIVED specifically to give Obama another opportunity to play the race card in a nationally televised news conference.

His Daddy was a Kenyan, He’s a Kenyan.

We will never see his BC. It would only disqualify him.
