Sunday, August 12,2012, President Obama delivered a speech at a campaign fundraising event in Chicago. He said:
"Too many folks still don't have a sense that tomorrow will be better than today. And so, the question in this election is which way do we go?"
"Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity is shared?" Obama asked. "Or do we go backward to the same policies that got us in the mess in the first place?"
"I believe we have to go forward," Obama said. "I believe we have to keep working to create an America where no matter who you are, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is, no matter who you love, you can make it here if you try. That's what's at stake in November. That's what is why I am running for a second term as president of the United States of America." (Emphasis, mine.)
Do any of you catch the irony here? We have a president by the name of Barack Hussein Obama. His absent Kenyan father was raised as a Muslim, and later converted to Christianity. He was raised by a poor single mother. He is black. AND HE WAS ELECTED DURING THE LAST DAYS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ...... before .............. the Great Hope and Change took place!
Did his skin color matter?
Did his heritage matter?
Did his name matter?
No. No. And NO.
How is it that none of this kept him from the HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE LAND? Therefore what, exactly, is at stake in November???
Why cannot the LEFT in general, see that we, the Right, don't give a d*mn where someone comes from, nor do we care what their name is, or their race, or their nationality, or their income level, or who they love, or their favorite brand of breakfast cereal .....
We care about their values. Repeat ... VALUES.
His speech blatantly illustrates the ongoing RHETORIC by the Left to label the Right as racist, homophobic, selfish snobs. Barack Obama HIMSELF, is living proof that the picture he paints of this country, is a lie.
Mr. President, you are WRONG. Your words are misleading, unfair, and confess YOUR NEED to keep racism, class envy, and prejudice ... alive.
Stop it now.
You nailed it. Amen, Sister!
ReplyDeleteWhat more can I say??? EXACTLY.
ReplyDeleteyou are so right Brenda! I love reading your blog. You nailed it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of what you said. However, he is not black, he is bi-racial. He is just as white as he is black. I have a bi-racial child and she is just as much white as she is black.
ReplyDeleteValid point. But if this country was truly as racist as they'd like us to believe, being half-black would have hurt his campaign. Color doesn't matter, whether you're all, half, or whatever. It just doesn't matter.
