BARACK OBAMA, RACE AND THE PR CAMPAIGN TO COVER HIS TAIL
Since taking office there have been more actions by Barack Obama that have angered me than pleased me. In fact the only thing that he has done that really pleased me was not something that he did directly because it involves his plunging popularity with the American people. While a direct result of what he has done it was not something he actually set out to do. But the plunge in popularity does please me.
Throughout his hyped campaign for the White House last year Obama portrayed himself as a black man who would be above race and in fact claimed that he would promote, "healing," when it came to race. He then took the oath after winning the Presidency and continued his mantra of being above using race and being a promoter of, "healing."
The first opportunity to prove that he was above race baiting came last Wednesday when he was asked what he thought about the arrest of his friend Louis Gates in Cambridge, Mass. and not only proved that he was NOT above race baiting and in fact took what should have been a local matter garnering little attention, making it into a national story that is dominating the news. Why ? Because he made it so.
Now that it is back firing and causing him considerable trouble both in the polls and in the false image he has portrayed for more nearly two years, Barack Obama is using the situation the he created as a public relations gimmick. During a press briefing that started his attempt to back track from his remarks about the arresting officer Sgt. James Crowley acting, "stupidly," Obama mentioned discussing with Crowley in a subsequent telephone conversation about coming to the White House for a beer. I originally thought that this was Obama trying to be funny.
This Thursday both Sgt. Crowley, Louis Gates and Obama will meet at the White House in an attempt to, "heal," the riff and smooth over the problem. The trouble is that it is a problem that Obama created and now he will use this as a PR gimmick to try and once again portray himself as the great healer.
The hypocrisy in this meeting places it as one of the most disgusting, manipulative attempts to deceive the public and anyone that buys into actually believing that Obama is a healer and not a racist and race baiter is not only naive but an idiot. He has opened a can of worms and now using that same can to try and cover his political butt.
His poll numbers are crashing, his agenda is failing, the center piece of that agenda, health care, is likely not to pass and now is trying to take the focus off of his own stupidity and using a racial issue of his own creation to try and rebound in the polls. Well that rebound IS NOT going to happen.
The American people are finally seeing through the hype. The American people are finally seeing the danger and lunacy of his agenda. And the American people also see through this racial, "healing," and know that it is only a political stunt that like his agenda will fail. The gloss is gone, the hype is over and what is left is an inexperienced individual who is destined to become a failure in the White House. He is on the path to that failure and his every move is widening that path with each passing day.

That was a stupid move by Obama to be sure, but at this point it is only to our advantage. His ratings are failing and 2012 is not looking very good for him. We just have to grit our teeth and hope that Congress can kill his bad policies and agenda.
Jennifer, as long as we keep the pressure up and his falling numbers are part of that pressure, his hands are tied as Congress will not try to hang on to Obama's popularity coat tails.
You express the same joy I have been feeling. It was long in coming. I will continue to press hard on returning America back to the ideals of the founders.
BO can't seem to help himself. He has to inject himself into everything. The phrase that describes BO; "It's All About Me."
While the libs are out there saying this episode should be a teachable moment (which is nothing more than an opportunity for them to engage in more brainwashing and absolve blacks of any responsbility) there was a real contrast with Obama's overt race baiting in this American Thinker article:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/baracks_teachable_moment.html
While Obama was fanning the flames of racism, a cop died in Jersey City, NJ trying to defend a community from violent thugs.
Instead of reflecting on the problem of violence, much of it involving the black community which is the primary victim, Obama choose instead to bash the cops who put their life on the line trying to save lives without any consideration for the skin color of the victims.
Obama is all about politics and himself as king.
It would be refreshing if he were to start embracing reality for reality's sake, but that's not going to happen, his ego and his agenda-dominated presidency wouldn't allow it.
I have little problem with that, as it will be his ticket to a one term administration and hopefully a conservative succeeding him in the White House.
You've got it right, Ken. I just wish Crowley would refuse to go to the meeting. He has been wronged by both Gates and Obama and all turning the other cheek will do now is make Obama look good.
