America is racist and xenophobic... but Obama got elected proving America is not racist and xenophobic. Didn’t he? In fact, Obama was never asked basic questions of the typical presidential candidate BECAUSE of his race. He got a free pass.
For example, when was this question asked:
“Senator Obama, you were according to your book mentored and befriended by Marxists and what most would consider social and political radicals according to your autobiography.
At what point did you disavow those Marxist teachings? On what philosophical basis did you do so? Do you repudiate Marxism today
and why?”
Or...how about a question like this:
“You have spoken proudly of your time as a community organizer in Chicago. How would you explain the continued social and economic decay of the areas in which your community organizing took place and how that record should reflect on your leadership abilities?”
“America is racist and xenophobic...”
Yea, I loved that line, too. How can a nation comprised largely of immigrants be xenophobic?!
