Under the guise of commemorating justice, on the 50th Anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March in Selma, Alabama, Barack Obama engaged in his usual artful deception by exploiting the event to further his agenda.
While placing the subtext of blame upon the shoulders of racist white men, to make a self-serving point concerning illegal immigration Obama used black Americans as beasts of burden to haul the weight of his reprimand.
For starters, historical revisionist Barack Obama left out the fact that those doing the beating in Selma were members of the Democratic Party. The president dared not reveal that, 50 years later, both he and his political cronies are now politically and economically billy-clubbing the very people he pretends to defend.
Keynote speaker Obama opened the discourse by extolling civil rights leader/Martial Law advocate John Lewis (D-GA). Predictably, before long, Obama’s words started to sound more like he was discussing his own struggles as a ‘fundamental transformer’ than commemorating a half-century old injustice.
Identifying with freedom marchers at Selma, Obama began to compare the struggle for civil rights with the need for unnamed oppressors to accept his “idea of a just… fair… inclusive… generous America.”
At one point, the president went so far as to side with phone-buddy Kanye West by mentioning that white newsman Bill Plante confirmed Kanye’s Beyoncé vs. Beck and Taylor Grammy assertion when he said that on the day of the original Selma march, “white people lowered the quality of the [hymn] singing.”
Then, what came across as a leftist jab to the jaw of those who disagree with his illegal immigration policy, Obama said, “We are well-served to remember that at the time of the marches, many in power condemned rather than praised them.”

I’ve had the feeling for a long time. Did anyone else notice Al Sharpton peering over Obama’s shoulder in the march? Sort of an effort to keep some of the spotlight, if Sharpton would ever think of such a thing.
In order to listen to the black President without having your head explode, one must first suspend any and all knowledge of history and religion.
What I found the most sickening is GWB (and Laura) sitting with them clapping and smiling at John Lewis and Obama while they gave their political speeches.
We tolerated Obama for 6+ years now, that is way more than enough.
Mr. Obama is such a disappointment.
Obama loves black people!!! So much so that besides demanding millions upon millions of illegals invade the country, he’s also pushing to spend billions and billions of dollars on them! How about that all you inner city blacks who always vote Democrat? Besides destroying what little is left of your job market, he’s also going to pay illegals to do it Isn’t that great? Remember when we use to have a Republican party? In the the old days Republicans would be exploiting the hell out of that in the black communities. Today we get *crickets* *crickets* *crickets*
“In order to listen to the black President without having your head explode,”
I have found it best for my sanity never to listen to this resident speak.
If I find the need to know what was said, I will hunt down the transcript and read.
Never have I had such a visceral response to hearing anyone giving a speech.
I get physically ill listening to the dude speak, I do not know if it is my intense dislike of him, or his speech pattern.
He is such a fraud...his blackness comes from Kenya, with no “layover” in the American South. His people were slave owners! But the Low IQ folks thinks he looks like them. He isn’t qualified to speak in Selma.
Not only did he not mention this fact, but not one person in the broadcast media mentioned it this weekend.
Now THERE is the place for those "high horse" remarks he's so fond of.
"...what greater form of patriotism is there than the belief that America is not yet finished..."
If you will notice, every one of these LAME STREAM MEDIA types “SWOONED” and had an “ORGASM”, along with the black leaders of this country. They, all of them, have thrown history out the window. Let’s see what the real history said about SELMA and JIM CROW, and everything that was transpiring in the south at that time. YEP, it was the DEMOCRATIC PARTY in the south and every where else in the country was promoting all of this. But never mind, they have fooled these stupid people before, and they will continue to do the same thing.
You had a different expectation?
It makes for an excellent opportunity to educate the urban black folks on what they are facing. A grassroots effort, putting up flyers (not written in that foreign language cursive of course) simply explaining that which you stated and more, could possibly do more to get blacks off the democrat plantation, than any other measure in decades. The ‘trick’ would be to do such without a race war erupting.....
You’d think with Bowbama being half white, he’d really be confused and conflicted.
Why does every picture of this loser look photo shopped to me? There’s that weird looking hand on his shoulder again. It reminds me of the picture of him with grandpa in the park.
” What I found the most sickening is GWB (and Laura) sitting with them clapping and smiling at John Lewis and Obama while they gave their political speeches.”
The Bushes can’t get enough of the left in general, and Obama in particular.
