Is Obama The Last Black American President?

Hat Tip to Faultline USA

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

Obama is, in fact, America's first black President, but he may well be America's LAST black President.

Why?

Racism.

No, I don't mean the practice of racism, I mean, instead, the CLAIM of racism.

We've had 5 years of abject failure by the Obama Administration and a refusal by the democrats to take responsibility for the crashing and burning of their progressive agenda. They continually blame racism for Obama's failure.

If one even disagrees with Obama's direction, he/she is promptly called a racist.

Well, we are sick of it. We have had it up the the gunwales and then some. So, we're not going there again, for a very long time, if ever.

Look. We gave it a chance. In fact, America bent over backwards to accommodate a black president. Many of us think, myself included, we bent way too far.

Obama's Administration was to have been a "feel good" presidency for the political left. They could point to a black man in the White House with vest busting pride and stroke each other over their open-mindedness and their diversity and all the leftist hogwash they regularly spew through the left wing propagandists in the mainstream media.

On inauguration day, 2009, they immediately circled the wagons around Obama with the intention of defending him ... no matter what.

Well, it has now been five very long years of "no matter what." Yes, they are STILL defending him, but they have grown weary, and their jobs are now endangered as a result of their unquestioning loyalty to an obvious Marxist president. The jobs of the press corp are not so much endangered as are the jobs of the democratic legislators in the Congress.

The press can bleed readers and subscribers for a fairly long time before having to cut their losses. Politicians can't bleed voters in like manner. In the past couple of weeks the democrats have been hemorrhaging voters. Thus their throat constricting fear.

As Election 2014 hoists itself over the horizon, panic has seized the hearts of many, if not most, of the democrats in the US Senate and the House. With good reason.

Americans are fed up.

It takes a lot to stoke the spark of rebelliousness in Americans. We put up with Great Britain a long while before rising up and throwing off the king's yoke. Once the American passion for freedom has been fanned into a flame it soon grows into a firestorm.

The democrats are staring down the barrel of a fiery maelstrom straight out of Hell itself ... and they know it!

Those on the right -- AND the left -- no longer feel constrained and are speaking boldly against America's first black President's lies and broken promises, promises not made in good faith to the American people.

In the past few days as I watched and listened to the democrats railing against their very own Obamacare law, William Shakespeare's words as spoken by Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude, rolled through my consciousness: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." (Hamlet, act III, scene II) The democrats words sound hollow and insincere as did the words of the Player Queen to whom Hamlet's mother was referring.

One must wonder how all this sniping and back-biting -- and a few flat-out frontal attacks by those who have spent the greater part of the past five years defending him must feel to our deeply narcissistic leader. Obama's skin may be black, but it is seriously and legendarily thin.

Obama and his supporters would do well to remember that no matter what they may call it, this is NOT racism. It is POLITICS and it is a bruising, bitter, blood sport when played in the American political arena.

Black politicians, especially those interested in running for the highest office in the land, should learn that as long as they have coattails their fellow politicians (of the same political persuasion) will happily ride them to acclaim and even victory. BUT -- stumble so that it reflects badly upon them and they will happily hang you with those very same coattails and leave you swinging to and fro in the wind. Mr. Obama has to be feeling the falling away of the many layers of protective insulation he has enjoyed for five years now. It cannot be a pleasurable feeling.

So, our advice to any black politician considering running for President of the United States: insist that your followers, your supporters, your entourage, never allow the word racism to pass their lips. Americans having endured eight years of that lame excuse will not even allow the shadow of that politician to fall upon them.

As I said above -- we've had it with being slammed by accusations of racism when it is noting more than good ole American politics.

Trayvon's America

 

A jury of 6 women listened to testimony from witnesses for over a month.  They digested the information, the evidence, and came to the conclusion that George Zimmerman acted in Self-Defense.  Not once was "Stand Your Ground" brought up.

What we are seeing is so-called Black Leaders (Race Baiters) seeing a way to raise money, to gain new government programs and try a form of gun control, have been stirring up the semi-literate black population and get them to riot.  The trouble is that the local police haven't gotten the word and keep stopping them from rioting.

Blacks will not be happy until George Zimmerman is hung, drawn and quartered.  The Federal government will find a liar to bring up racial charges against Mr. Zimmerman.

I wonder what would happen if White people started to riot?

The Race Card Has Been Played!

Today Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic presumed nominee for the office of the Presidency of the United States, Junior Senator from the great state of Illinois, and the first African-American to win any parties nomination has announced that his opponent, John McCain will use Obama's race against him to win votes.

"The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy.

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run,” said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. “They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. ‘He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?’"

Never once in the whole campaign have I or anyone else ever heard or read that John McCain comment on Obama's race or religion. If anything he has been a gentleman and refused to allow his campaign to stoop to such low levels.

But the Obama camp, which is already complaining of dirty tricks being used, has begun to stoop down to the level of the sewer. It was the Obama campaign that used dirty tricks to destroy Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House. And now they will try to use the same tactics against John McCain.

"They’re going to try to make me into a scary guy,” he said last week. “They’re even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?" And so that drumbeat – 'we’re not sure if he’s patriotic or not; we’re not sure if he is too black.'

"I don’t know, before I wasn’t black enough," said Obama. "'Now he might be too black. We don’t know whether he’s going to socialize – well, who knows what.'"

This is called playing the Race Card. And you have read it hear first. Obama was the first one to use it.

This is a tactic used by Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton to blackmail corporations, schools and towns into doing their bidding. Obama learned the lesson well from those two and from his mentor is victimhood Jeremiah Wright.

What Barack Hussein Obama said today was not that my opponent will use my race against me, but if you don't vote for me, you are a racist.

No Senator. Not voting for you doesn't make me a racist. It makes me a well-informed voter who has looked at your record (or lack of it), watch you flip-flop on almost every issue, examined your idea of foreign policy, looked at the background of your advisors and senior campaign workers, examined your idea of an economic policy, listened to the hateful speeches of your wife and pastor and found you not what I want in a President of the United States.

Not a Presidential Candidate who easily uses a racial slur against me. Especially in your famous book: Dreams from My Father where you wrote:

Whether because of New York's density or because of its scale, it was only [there] that I began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America's race and class problems joined; the bile that flowed freely not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia's bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes.

You want to use the 'N' word Senator, you can. But no Jew will ever use that word. The one I highlighted myself. I find that word offensive and personally insulting. There was no reason for it and apologizing will not help in this matter.

It is you Senator that is playing the Race Card. I've been expecting this for months now. And it is you who has shown himself to be the racist. A vote against you is a vote against racism, not for it.
