View Full Version : The Obama–Brewer tarmac confrontation was wildly overhyped.

Jesse Jackson is right. In response to the face-off in Arizona between President Obama and Arizona governor Jan Brewer last week, Jackson said, “Even George Wallace did not put his finger in Dr. King’s face.” And it’s true; he didn’t. Similarly, not even Josef Stalin wrote two autobiographies the way Obama has. And even Genghis Khan didn’t have a Swiss bank (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) account the way Mitt Romney did.

Of course, Jackson’s non sequitur is a single note in the cacophony of asininity surrounding the wildly overhyped confrontation between Obama and Brewer. An MSNBC host (and putative expert in matters racial) said the photo reminded her more than anything else of the iconic image of Elizabeth Eckford, the 15-year-old black girl who was harassed in 1957 by racists on her way to a desegregated school in Little Rock, Ark. And liberal talk-radio host Stephanie Miller concurred that Brewer was “playing the fragile-white-woman-scared-of-black-man card.” Al Sharpton, Bill Maher, and Maureen Dowd sounded similar refrains.

Sorry boys.....I may not like Obama much. But Damn that shiznit with some Bitch sticking her finger up in ones face. I don't go for that BS. Especially with the Way The Media and Film is portraying women when it comes to the physicality of man. In today's world! :angry:

Course if Obama was a playa.....she would never have approached him like that in the first place. :afro:

Should she have pointed her finger like that? Probably not. That said, how does this become a racial incident?

:rofl:

I hadn't seen the photo nor been following the story. I doubt it's racial, there are plenty of reasons for these two to dislike each other. I know exactly what you're saying MMC.

Obama was mad at her. Something about the way she portrayed him in her book.

I think there might be a video of it.....as some said Obama walked away from her while she was still talking.

Brewer's side silhouette makes her look like that kid in the move "Mask".

I read that kid's biography once. It was even more depressing than you would think.

why is she so mad at obama?

mostly because she is trying to protect her state from illegals coming in and Obama took her to court and stopped her from doing so,

she tried to uphold immigration laws and he screwed it up..
