Update Of 7/10/2016
Just read this America’s Worst President? I nominate Barack Obama, the anti-Lincoln., which, I believe, expressed some of my assessment about President Obama much better than I could. The title and subtitle of this otherwise very recommendable article are unfortunate!
Among many other things, the author reminds us that Obama and his wife were following the racist and antisemitic pastor Jeremiah Wright for over a decade. This pastor also officiated the wedding of Barack and Michelle Obama. It did not take long for Obama to get rid of his suddenly controversial pastor.
Pure Coincidence?
On Thursday, President Obama wasted no times to hold a news conference on the latest two shootings of black people by police officers! He did not even wait until more facts were in.
Within hours later, a black man with military training, in what appears to be out of hate for white people, killed, like a sniper, several police officers and severely wounded others in Dallas, TX.
Racism In America Is A Two Way Street
Ideologues and demagogues want us to believe it is a one way street!
It was up to the first black president to acknowledge this fact forcefully and do everything in his power to address it. His was the opportunity to pursue to banish the politics and scourge of racism once and for all. Unfortunately, in his eight years in office this president and his wife actively accomplished the opposite. Both reignited what could perhaps become the third Civil War in America.
President Obama, to my knowledge, never held a press conference when a white person was killed under similar circumstances (you don’t think this happens?) or never really addressed the issue of disparate high black on black homicides and disparate high criminal criminal rates among black people.
Briefly About Obama
This U.S. President is one of the most ideologically and racially biased president in decades. He is also one of the most partisan presidents.
I don’t mind an inexperienced president to be elected to office, but I do mind if the president wastes eight years to learn nothing from his many, severe blunders in domestic, economic, and foreign policies.
His stubbornness is beyond description and perhaps even unique compared to any previous U.S. president. E.g. a U.S. president cannot choose which U.S. Congress he wants to work with or not!
