Doesn’t matter to Obama one bit that Ried is a nasty old elite minded overcompensating closet racist. He will use him to take down the country and take everyones freedom. Most of his agenda never was about race in the first place. Commies are just like that....they are users.
He is an old Charley Whitebread from a practically all white region (in his day when he actually lived there, anyway) and a religion which has few non-white members in that part of the country.
He doesn’t understand black or black culture at all, he just feigns “sensitivity” by pushing big-spending, liberal legislation that is supposed to help minorities but only serves to make them more dependent on government and the Dems.
