Yes, you heard right. Instead of claiming responsibility for anything, this racebait was brought to you by a sitting President of the United States. And of course it'll be backed up by what Levin has coined the Pretorian Guard Media, which have become the stereotypical propaganda wing of this administration, as history has shown us throughout the multitudes of one dictatorial regime after another. Too bad we can't get the truth that more people dislike the man because of his destructive policies.Bloomberg: President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine’s website today.
“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition.
“Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he’s been in office.
Obama’s second term has been marked by controversies including a partial government shutdown in October, revelations that the National Security Agency has gathered personal mobile phone data and the troubled rollout of health-insurance expansion.
Now, I know many outlets will simply emphasize what Obama said about marijuana; but regardless of what side you fall on with that singular issue, I think we've got more to fret over and debate under the reign of this radical demagogue than that highlight being the takeaway from this interview. Like, say, a president getting whatever he wants, not based on the content of his character, but the color of his skin. I've gotta believe MLK would abhor this.
