President Obama calls African-Americans a ‘mongrel people’
Seriously, if GW Bush had said something even remotely similar during his first 2 years, he would have been forced to resign.
That is no exaggeration.

Asked about what the questioner saw as an increase in racial tension Thursday, President Obama said a "tribal attitude" can come as a result of economic hardship.
"Historically, when you look at how America has evolved, typically we make progress on race relations in fits and starts," he said at a town hall event with young Americans.
He then suggested that the recession has played a part in driving racial antagonism while he has been in office.
"Often times misunderstandings and antagonisms surface most strongly when times are tough. And that's not surprising," Mr. Obama said, arguing that Americans are less worried when things are going well.
He added that anxiety over not being able to pay bills - or having lost a job or a home - sometimes "organizes itself around kind of a tribal attitude, and issues of race become more prominent."

Racism, a guy’s got to have a goal in life. I’m glad BHO has one. Race riots!
He’s thinking of Kenya, but doesn’t realize it.
No, Obama, America has never been tribal, with the exception of the Indians who preceded us.
Isn't there a TARP to fund his TRAP closing?
The American “tribe” is about to show it’s “attitude” in November.
Yep, race relations are the first thing on my mind! (;-)

He ,his wife and their pal Holder have been racist since the get go and now this phony comes out with this crap.

What, exactly, does Obama know about what Americans are thinking?
Not much, if this is any indication...
So says Chief Lying Bull.
Tribal? This fool its Political not tribal.... Obama is a Narcisstic totalitarian who will never come to terms that it is his agenda that is destroying the economy. Worst Recovery since the great Depression thanks to his and his lock step Congressional lock step rat policies.
I think you are on to something.
The “birthers” were obsessed where Obama was born. Every indication is that he was born in Hawaii somewhere.
The question isn’t where he was born, but where he was raised . . and he is third-world all the way, starting with his Muslim education in Indonesia.
Racism in America no longer exists.
We have Obama now.
Looks like a classic case of projection.
The Kenyan is going tribal. He just inserted foot in mouth. Good going -— moron
Does Obama think this sort of talk helps him whip up his base and will help the Democrats in November? In most of the blue dog and swing districts, there are very few blacks. I would imagine this would anger non-blacks.
Or does Obama just not care?
Headman of small Islamic Kenyan Socialist tribe goes tribal on Chamber of Commerce tribe. As similar attacks made on other bad tribes; this one ends sadly for the Headman, too.
The only thing causing any increase in racial tension is the lies being told by DemoRats and their Leftist Media LIARS.
Oh and BTW, I just happened to check out the Farmers Almanac, and also looked up the forecast for D.C. on the last weekend of October...Raining and cold. >Bo)
