How Obama Glossed Over His Greatest Failure

What amazed me is that Obama mentioned it all.

Deep into his predictably Panglossian State of the Union speech on Tuesday, the president reminded the audience of the vision he shared at his breakout 2004 convention speech – namely, that there not be a "a black America or a white America ,  but a United States of America."

Pundits, he conceded, faulted him for failing to deliver on this vision, but curiously, Obama did not say the pundits were wrong. Instead, he criticized them for their cynicism, their failure to take his vision seriously. This, of course, was nonsense. The great majority of those who did not vote for Obama, pundits or otherwise, wanted him to succeed in making America "one people" as pledged.

My only complaint about this article is Jack's continuing to refer the the Obola sons who torched much of Ferguson, assassinated two NY cops, and murdered two innocent white kids as "protestors" when they ought to be called "terrorists," indeed terrorists who were created and encouraged by Obola himself.

The Hippie Counter Culture is in charge of the executive branch and the Black Panthers are making the decisions about police procedure.

Dr. Pangloss called. He's offended at even being associated with this canaille.

Obama, blaming someone else (pundits), for another one of his colossal failures. Obviously the sun rises and sets in his own vision of himself........therefore he cannot be blamed for anything going ‘wrong’, even if the result was the one he wanted to begin with.

What else to expect from someone who’s character is all CON-tent.

The silver lining critics saw in an Obama presidency was his potential to confirm the viability of the American dream and the value of a two-parent family. Had Obama succeeded in confirming either, he could have gone a long way in easing racial tension and healing the pathologies plaguing black America. Unfortunately, Obama failed. He failed because he was afraid to try.

Exactly right.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t think he was afraid to try, he preferred fanning the flames of racial animosity to trying to extinguish the flames. He is a race baiter just like Sharpton and Jackson.

Obama is as interested in easing racial tensions as any grand wizard who hates people of another color.

He isn't interested in one America. He wants to punish the "other side".
