Obama Channels Mike Nifong
Whatever Happened To Not Wanting To Meddle?
Obama purposely set fire to the race issue by eagerly answering a planted question at the end of his Wednesday night Obamacare infomercial, raising the issue of racial profiling by racially profiling a white Cambridge police officer as, surprise, surprise, a racist. Even while admitting that he didn't know the facts about the arrest of his distinguished homey, Professor Henry Louis "Yo Mama" Gates, Obama opined that the Cambridge police acted "stupidly".
Then he doubled down, claiming he didn't know what all the fuss was about- all he did was accuse a white cop of racism without a shred of supporting evidence. "Think nothing of it- I do it all the time."
This episode again reveals the chip on Obama's shoulder that became evident when he called his grammy a "typical white woman" and showed up again Wednesday in painting the arresting officer as a stupid racist, a characterization that he now cannot afford to back down from, because, as we all know, Messiahs don't apologize. Can't afford to. But it's pretty obvious who really "acted stupidly" here, and that's president McJugears.
So even as Obama phones Jim the Cop to blow smoke up his cracker ass, he still does not apologize for, well, you know, calling him a stupid racist and all. Without knowing any of the facts, and after again demonstrating that he is never more than a heartbeat away from using the race card. And why not? It's worked for him for years- "community organizer", remember?
Prejudging without the facts, based on racial bias, based on racial stereotypes: I thought that was exclusive to NASCAR fans, ain't that so, lefties?
A post-racial president?
Yo mama.
Ace: Breaking: Obama Phones Officer Crowley; Calls Him Good Police Officer and Good Man; Allows He "G[ave] Impression" That He Was Maligning Cambridge Cops
Yeah, pretty sure Jim the Cop knows full well who he is without Obama telling him.
Just One Minute: "With two wars and a faltering health care reform effort, maybe President Stupidly should not be bloviating about local police matters, especially when he does not have the facts."
Power Line: The President As Hack Ideologue: "It is sad, though not suprising, to see our president fall into the familiar trap of ideologues, namely basing their view of what happened in a highly individualized event not on the facts of that event but rather on their prejudices...THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO ACT STUPIDLY: Today, Obama said that with all that's going on in the country with health care and the economy and the wars abroad, "it doesn't make sense to arrest a guy in his own home if he's not causing a serious disturbance." This is idiotic. Whether a person was justly arrested in connection based on a given incident has nothing to do with what's happening with health care or in foreign wars. Is Obama trying to say that the arrest would have been okay if everyone had health insurance, the economy was prosperous, and we were out of Iraq and Afghanistan?"
Or something.
