It’s been almost sick-making watching Obama-loving media members gush and fawn over his address to the nation Friday concerning race and the George Zimmerman verdict.

One nauseating example was Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift who said on PBS’s McLaughlin Group, “The President’s remarks on Friday are going to be read by future generations. They’re beautiful, they’re eloquent”

Eleanor Clift: ‘President’s Remarks on Friday Are Going to be Read by Future Generations’

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK/DAILY BEAST: I want to say the President’s remarks on Friday are going to be read by future generations. They’re beautiful, they’re eloquent, they speak to the pain of a lot of people in this country. [Pointing at fellow panelist Mort Zuckerman] You’re smirking while I say that.

MORT ZUCKERMAN, US NEWS & WORLD REPORT: I’m not smirking.

CLIFT: Sure looked that way right over there.

CLARENCE PAGE, CHICAGO TRIBUNE: No smirking, Mort.

ZUCKERMAN: Get a pair of glasses.

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Smirking is prohibited.

ZUCKERMAN: I wasn’t smirking.

CLIFT: He addresses the pain that a lot of people feel. He does not question the jury verdict. He talks about how we can go forward. He doesn’t, he says we’ve made a lot of progress. This is not a post-racial America. But if he didn’t speak out, what kind of president would he be? This has been the elephant in the room for the last week. He has an obligation to address this.

MCLAUGHLIN: President…

CLIFT: And I think a lot of people will identify with the remarks that he made.

Let’s be clear: Barack Obama could recite the alphabet and folks such as Clift would have orgasms.

Makes you wonder how any of them sleeps at night.

That old bitch is still alive?

[molson209]

When will Obama announce that he’s running for President in 2016 because his people need him and that trumps term limits

[vikzilla]

On how the Civil War II / Race Riots started???

i find it unbelievable how far we have come since my youth towards exactly what you describe. lets get it on, its time i'm afraid. how can an entire culture of people be so f##ing ignorant and demanding. eleanor cliuft is as dumb as they come. stupid bitch should be selling yarn to old women at best.

[A message]

Obama will be remembered as a racist!!!

He'll be remembered as The Traitor who sought to destroy America. Clift is a useful tool for the plans that are being implemented by the forces 0bama has aligned himself with to destroy the nation.

0bama is an evil man.

[molson209]

Obama will be remembered as a racist!!!

I know what I would do with the transcript of Obama’s little race baiting speech, it includes wiping my ass with it

That speech would be a joke if it weren't so sick. Obama could have been Trayvon 35 years ago? Gimme a break.

Obama was brought up in an upper middle class environment, given every advantage, with fancy private schools, ivy league colleges, traveling the world, chief editor of the Harvard Law Review, elected Senator of one of the largest states then elected President of the United States twice.

He doesn't have a clue about what it means to live in an inner city. Of course everyone, regardless of race, locks their doors, whether in an apartment or a car; and people are wary of getting into elevators with strangers. What a farce he is.

Why? Because he's half black? Because the liberal, union teachers will force the kids to read them? Why?

[corlorde]

“I did not have sex with that woman” is a timeless classic that will be quoted for generations to come. :D

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Just sayin’...

[ohiobushman]

I watched part of that,but had to turn it off for fear of my blood pressure going sky high.She is the most rude,snobbish lib on tv.You can almost see the kool-aid stain on her lips!!

[SERKIT]

And Larry Sinclair’s book will also be read for generations, so what?

[2ndDivisionVet]

[headsonpikes]

Those people be craving electrolytes!

And the President will deliver!

That’s what I’m talking about!

[leprechaun9]

They will probably be emblazoned on the walls of public toilets!

Unless they're in cursive...

[cardinal4]

With any luck, those words will be read just before the chapter that details his arrest, conviction and imprisonment.

and afterwards his deportation to some African shiitehole on some 3rd world shiitehole of an airline in the middle seat..

"“The President’s remarks on Friday are going to be read by future generations. ............"

Future generations will be able to read?
