So was America ready for a black president?


So was America ready for a black president? Yes…well some more than others. As one might come to expect, conservative wingnuts stripped sheets off their beds and went parading through the streets with their guns at their hips shouting racial epitaphs. In fact, one even burned a cross on the White House lawn. If you read any of the articles pouring from the addled minds of the MSM, this is what you would have been led to believe if an African American won the White House. But it didn’t happen.

For the most part, the ethnicity of the President didn’t bother conservatives. We strongly disagreed with the President and refused to sit by and allow the country to be hijacked into a failed leftist state. We rose up and let our voices be heard. It was not Barack Obama’s race that caused us to act, but rather his agenda. For most of us, ethnicity was the last thing on our minds…but it was the first out of the mouths of the Left.

From all degrees of the Left, charges of racism began to flow. From the sewers of the Daily Kos to the halls of Congress: Republicans are racist; Fox News is racist; conservatives are racist; tea parties are racist; Rush Limbaugh is racist; Glenn Beck is racist; town hall attendees are racist; Michelle Malkin is racist; Andrew Breitbart is racist; Sarah Palin is racist; must I go on?!

With the blatant abuse of the race card, it seems as if liberals are not yet ready for a black president.

Why is it that in the liberal mind, everything boils down to race? From Harry Reid’s light “skinned” and “no Negro dialect” comments to Chris Matthews “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.” Is it the Left that is really fueling the flames of racism? I know the Right has its bigots too but do they have to go so far as to make up racist quotes from Rush Limbaugh?

If and when the Republican Party retakes Congress, you can almost guess how it will play out. “The people only voted us out of office because Barack Obama is black!” Post-racial indeed…Lord, help us.

Feel free to add your examples of liberal racism or race card abuse.

Good point. No it was not, at least the MSM.

Obama told two different stories, one to the Left in the primaries, and one to the Center in the general. Yet, the MSM raised nary a peep.

While the softball treatment of Obama helped him cruise to the election in the campaign, it set him up for ensured disappointment as a governing President. Rather than inspecting his two campaigns for conflicts, most of the 52% gave him multiple free passes and simply assumed that he was winking at them specifically. However, when it came time to choose between his two different stories to the Left and the Center, he had no option but to break a number of promises.

will never be factor again in deciding a president only whether or not he will be a good president.

 

America has been ready

for a black, red, blue, green – whatever President for years.

What America is not ready for is a Marxist President. Hope & Change were packaged as the salvation of the masses. The masses are
finally waking up to the reality of what Obama meant by “change”.

Obama meant – work hard and I will let you keep the “change” – send me all the rest that you earn and “hope” that you have enough to eat on.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

Of course we're ready for a Black President.

Or a Catholic or Mormon or Seventh Day Adventist one. Or a Jewish one. I’d be okay with a Hindu or Buddhist as well, not sure about the rest of y’all.

The problem I have with Obama isn’t how much melanin is in his skin, it’s how many anti-american ideas, and misunderstandings of what our country is about that are between his ears.
