Obama Lied About My Dad (The Reagan Coalition wasn't built on Wright-Wing racism)
By Michael Reagan

Most of the media and their fellow liberals were positively giddy over Barack Obama’s speech Tuesday, all but comparing it to the Sermon on the Mount.
I won’t deny it was a masterful piece of oratory -- the man can be spellbinding -- but when you stop to consider what Sen. Obama was really doing up there on the podium, invoking the specter of slavery and Jim Crow and the era of “whites only,” it becomes clear that it was a con job designed to make the voters as giddy as he knew his worshippers in the submissive media would be.
The speech was meant to be an explanation and expiation of his guilt for his years of remaining mute in the face of the outrageous anti-Americanism spewed by his pastor and bosom buddy, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Until Tuesday, Barack Obama (you can’t use his middle name, which has now become the “H-word,” allegedly a code word for anti-Muslim rhetoric) had steadfastly denied he ever heard his friend and pastor make his hateful remarks. In the speech, however, he just kind of mentioned that… well, yes … he guesses he was aware of the Reverend Wright’s offensive rhetoric after all. Mea Minima Culpa.
He then launched into a defense of his friendship with the man he credited for bringing him to Christianity, and helping to form his social and political philosophy and set him on the path to a life of public service. Admirably, while denouncing Wright’s extremism, he refused to denounce the man himself.
Nobody expected him to declare Wright anathema and cast him into the outer darkness where there is weeping and wailing and the gnashing of teeth -- one simply doesn’t do to that sort of thing to a longtime friend, benefactor and mentor even if he has been shown to have slipped the rails time after time.
What was not expected was Barack H. Obama’s use of a litany of America’s past racist offenses to justify not only Wright’s blatant hatred of white America but his suggestion that it was a sentiment shared by most African Americans. And that is simply not true.
Nor was it true, as Obama charged, that the Reagan coalition was created out of white resentment for affirmative action or forced busing.
He charged that “anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime… talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism.”
Poppycock! These are not only outright falsehoods, but echoes of what Obama learned at the feet of Jeremiah Wright and now preaches as his own beliefs. He learned his lessons well.
When he suggested that my father’s coalition was based on anger over affirmative action and welfare he was peddling a blatant falsehood as egregious in its falsity as Wright’s charge that whites created AIDS to wipe out the black population.
Everything Obama said was directed at suggesting that while Rev. Wright should not have used such inflammatory language, he was somehow justified because of America’s white racism.
Try as he might, Barack Obama cannot claim the innocence of a lamb in his long years of worshipful association with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. He was either fully aware of the seething racial hatred that motivated Wright, or something of a blithering idiot who can’t spot a racist hater when he spends years genuflecting at his feet.
Barack Obama is not an idiot. He is a brilliant orator who exudes charm and arouses near-worship from his host of giddy, hypnotized supporters. He is also a committed socialist and a talented salesman for his brand of Marxist snake oil.
Beware of camels bearing gifts, and politicians promising utopia.
God bless Ronald Reagan. The lying, racist Obama. Go to Hell.
Obama says everybody BUT me is involved in Racism, Reagan, Geradine Ferraro, my Grandma, EVERYBODY but me AND I am the one to lead us beyond that.
Title fixed.
Ronnie was and is my ultimate hero.
Good for Michael Reagan, his father was the most refreshingly honest and gracious Man on the planet.
I am grateful that I was fortunate to grow up in his aura and I pray to God that we see another Ron Dog in my lifetime.
McQueeg ain’t it.
Obama has issues better resolved in a psychotherapists office than in the Oval Office.
Obama doesn't fool me for a moment that he is hiding his true feelings of whitey.
Why is it we hear nothing but good things about his black African father who deserted him and his mother but nothing about his whitey side of the family except the racists comments of his grand mother.
Sorry Obama but your read between the lines comments pegs you as a bigot and racist running on a ticket of hope and change.
Hope and change for who?
All the so called minorities of dark skin.
I can tell you Mr Obama that the Hispanics who live around me are not buying your lines of Bull Shiite about hope and change.
I guess it is hope and change after Pastor Wright has eliminated all the white honkies.
Hey don’t get cocky, I am sure you are on the list...
Ronald Reagan helped to free millions of people from Soviet enslavement. I have relatives in Poland who were killed and imprisoned by the communists. I recently met a woman, a Polish immigrant who was a prisoner of the communists. She told me she was kept in a 5x7 room for 6 years. She was tortured. They drove nails through her hands. I saw the scars. She and other victims of Soviet oppression were freed by Reagans efforts. They knew the kind of real oppression that the spoiled rotten Obama has never experienced. Obama is a flea compared to the great Ronald Reagan. He fits perfectly into the DemonRat Party. A party of fools.
“Obama Lied...”
You don’t say. A Muslim lying to an infidel? Oh, the horror. What is this world coming to?
He did all of that and alot more. He kicked ass with the Iranians in a day and he went on to lead this country of the Courageous to remember who and what we are and from whence our dignity came.
We are so fortunate to be here, to be Americans.. and alot of those brave men and women serving all over the world to protect this nation know that because Ronald Wilson Reagan chose to remind us how truly lucky we are.
A common lie taught in political science classes is that Reagan won Blue States like CA, MA, and NY by playing on the racial fears of White suburban women.
Aint nobody gonna mess with Ronnie.
All their lies will never change the truth about Reagan.

Obama wouldn't even make a good pimple on your Dad's ass, Michael.
God bless President Ronald Reagan.
Who forged the Reagan Coalition? As I recall Jimmy Carter and his legendary incompetence had a big hand in it.
More Blacks became upwardly mobile under Ronald Reagan than any other president.
I think Obama has Alzheimers, there’s 444 days of the Carter administration that I will never forget.
He should also google “stagflation”.
...Except that she’s not dead. Even worse!
