He is definitely a puppet, and has occasionally let his frustration in that role show (like many affirmative-action beneficiaries, he initially believed he was special - then he ended up in a room surrounded by whites using words he couldn’t understand). The whole “gay marriage” thing wrankled him; after publicly opposing it, his white bosses corrected his attitude and he cheerlessly pushed the party line.
The amnesty thing must hurt as well; blacks are hurt much more by this than whites (who are hurt as well, but to a lesser extent in the short term). I’ve seen whole departments that had been predominantly black in the past morph into primarily Hispanic work areas, without a black worker in sight.
I think you’re wrong. Obama was for gay marriage before he was against it—while it was politically expedient for getting elected. He’s such an ideologue that making illegals citizens to boost Leftist voting and drag down white Americans suits him just fine. I imagine he sees the good that will come from majority Marxist voters will outdo any bad from Hispanic competition for low-skill, black jobs.
