Why did this offend some...too close to the truth?
This political satire was perfectly on point. It was not racist, it was perfectly in line with what freedom of speech was intended to protect. As noted above, the concept that ultimately his legacy is one of turning things to crap is too true for his followers to accept - and like with any criticism of this president and his policies, attributed by his followers to racism.
No, it was not nice - as the young girl complained. Frankly, so what. Obama’s arrogant attitude and actions are not nice - and we have to live with and pay for his decisions. Was he nice when instead of actually negotiating with Republicans he simply tells them “I won” or “We won - get over it.”
When it comes to racism, this child needs a little education about who makes remarks based on race - such as Obama saying:
“We dont mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.
