View Full Version : Obama’s Racial Politics

Snip

In a recent speech before a Latino audience, President Obama, in blasting congressional Republicans, recalled that he had run for office because “America should be a place where you can always make it if you try; a place where every child, no matter what they look like, where they come from, should have a chance to succeed.” The obvious conclusion from his increasingly frequent “look like” trope is that his critics predicate success in America on just the opposite criteria. That is, supposedly racist opponents do not wish every child to succeed, and so it certainly matters to them a great deal (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) what Americans should “look like.”
Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama complained about a description of her White House infighting in an otherwise favorable account of the first family, written by a New York Times reporter. She suggested that the book’s criticism was unfair because “That’s been an image that people have tried to paint of me since, you know, the day Barack announced, that I’m some angry black woman.”
Oddly, the first lady did not cite anyone who, in fact, had tried to stereotype her as an “angry black woman.” To be sure, “people” have characterized her as “angry,” given her prominent role in the 2008 campaign, during which she repeatedly found herself in dramas of her own rhetorical making (saying Americans were “just downright mean”; never having been proud of America before the nomination of her husband; etc.). But no one suggested that her overt anger derived from being either “black” or a “woman.”

The long tradition of mudslinging continues. When one cannot find enough to criticize in a politician he attacks the family of the politician. This is truly a pathetic display of partisan nonsense. For shame!

In a speech before a Latino Audience.....pretty much says it all. Any concerned about how the left does make race an issue with latino voters? Considering they are the ones expounding on how the right is Alienating latinos all the time.

Just what has he done for Black Americans or African Americans? How has he done anything for them?

Well truthfully it is the Demos that incite racial politics. Which IMO the MSMedia should be hitting them with those questions like they do those in the GOP. yesterday medved had some guy callin that was black and he want on a Rant about the GOP being racists especially Gingrich. Then right there on the air said he wished they would get killed in some sort of plane accident. Wishing death on them live on the radio!

How does this ease those tensions when those that frame the debate or discussion or are reporting and are guilty of doing the same damn thing?

Mister D

They sure do. The GOP has nothing to lose by doing it. They are accused of it anyway.

I object to the repeated attacks on Michelle Obama. The Right did the same thing to Hillary Clinton and yet they were quiet about Laura.

Outspoken First Ladies are usually subjected to criticism. They should be. No one elcted them to anything. In any case, it has nothign to do with her race.

So Chris Matthews believes the way Gingrich said "Juan" when replying to his point as "racist". Honest to God, these people are nuts.

Obama defeated Hillary, not the right.

She has a chip on her shoulder. Read her college tesis and research some of her college mentors. They're all in the Rev Wright crowd. No thanks. The USA can do better than these two.

It's the disrespect she shows the American people and our culture and heritage. She's all down on acting white.

Michelle Obama and her husband are well trained in the art of racial politics. You can see it in her thesis and by his refusal to release his college papers and test scores that reveal AA.

America, the press didn't do their job in 2008 and you were duped. Now you have no excuse.

No doubt. The post-racial nonsense was just that: nonsense that only a white liberal could believe. BO has been racially conscious from a young age.
