Obama: My butlers are extremely proud of just how far "We've Come!"

President Obama said in an interview on Monday that the butlers currently working in the White House are extremely proud of just how far "We've Come!"
Mr. Obama was discussing the new movie, The Butler. The President said that, while he was watching the movie, he "teared up just thinking about not just the butlers who have worked here in the White House, but an entire generation of people who were talented and skilled, but because of Jim Crow, because of discrimination, there was only so far they could go."
The President went on to say: "The butlers who are now here in the White House, when we first arrived, when Michelle and the girls just first arrived, they could not have been kinder to us and warmer to us. And part of it, I suspect, is they look at Malia and Sasha and they say, well, this looks like my grandbaby, or this looks like my daughter. And I think for them to have a sense that weve come that far was a powerful moment for them, and certainly a powerful moment for us. We love them to death. They look after us just wonderfully." VIDEO

I'm sorry if I come across as callous, but this POS and his Wookie wife appear to be totally focused on a "Black" agenda and, quite frankly, to H3ll with any white interests.
Recent past presidents, all white obviously, took pains to bend over backward to serve all people not just a select group. This guy has divided America in a manner that has never been experienced before. His Wookie wife, by her very public demeanor, exudes hatred for not America but specifically for white America.
Obama was (s)elected to office by a group made up of government dependant, white guilt, lo-info voters along with Obammy's brothers & sisters of color.
IMHO he does not represent the majority in America.

“We?” Who is this “we” of whom you speak? You were raised in the lap of luxury, Obastard. The finest private school in Oahu, the skids greased for you all the way through college and beyond.

... he "teared up just thinking about not just the butlers who have worked here in the White House, but an entire generation of people who were talented and skilled, but because of Jim Crow, because of discrimination, there was only so far they could go." So, I'm confused...is he saying his WH is still discriminatory or that his butlers are half-wits because they are Butlers?
