The poignant and sagacious David Remnick once more.
Obama’s election was one of the great markers in the black freedom struggle.
I respectfully disagree with the prose hose. Barack Obama's career has nothing to do with black freedom any more than Selma had to do with his conception. This is the story of a con artist being elevated to cult leader. Please, Mr. Remnick, please show us a black person whose freedom has increased under Obama. How did the "black freedom struggle" rise with Barack Obama's fortunes?
The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country.
You might also add that we resent being lied to with a fervor and frequency and impunity such as we have never before witnessed. We also don't like doubling and trebling of health care premiums. We also have a distaste for IRS harrassment and I for one dislike quantitative easing. And I will add, anyone who can type is intensely jealous of illiterates like David Remnick who land cushy jobs at "The New Yorker" for piling it higher and deeper.
“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,”
And some of us dislike you because you are an overgrown pansy. Yes, it demeans the presidency to dismiss legitimate criticism as racism. But worse in my eyes, playing the race card is chickenshit. You are supposed to be a leader. Compared to George Bush, your criticism is padded and sugar-coated and virtually nonexistent. When it does raise its gentle, apologetic head, it gets hammered down with the racist sledge hammer. Mr. President, will you ever be a man?
Tea Party at Perrysburg was able to wade through 23% of this sludge. She is a better blogger than me. I endured about 15% and I feel like I need a shower. Someone else can swim through the rest of this muck.
