POST-RACIAL LEADER

Our country is black-and-blue over the issue of race. People really just want the strife to be over and so we voted for a black man to prove the point that we have moved on. We believed him when he said the time was right for things to be "post-racial" and that we should "break the racial divide" and that he was the "uniter".

Now we are less than halfway into his window of opportunity to make those words a reality. How's he doing?

Here's what President Obama said on the Fourth of July:

"We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenets first declared by men of property and wealth but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America...civil rights and voting rights and workers' rights and women's rights and the rights of every American."

That's some slicing and dicing, Mr. President. Now America is sectioned like a grapefruit.

We offer our apologies to the Founding Fathers for the hit they took on the Fourth of July for being men of property and wealth. What did THAT have to do with anything? This president who collected 5.5M last year and owns a 1.6M house and speaks such words from the balcony of the White House and goes on dates that cost you and I tens of thousands of dollars...this man has some bulging nerve to mischaracterize men who put whatever they had on the line for love of country. Besides, his comment is not even correct. According to Wiki not all of the founders were wealthy. So why would he even SAY something like that?

When those founders signed their names, if the war had gone differently, it would have been their death sentence. When has this president ever laid something on the line like that? He even votes "present" when he cannot make up his mind on how to vote. What would happen if he had the privilege to sign the Declaration of Independence?

President Obama then went on to carve America into people according to civil rights/voting rights/workers' rights/women's rights...oh, and the rights of every American. Excuse me, but wasn't the whole point of Independence Day to celebrate freedom from tyranical rule that brought us together as "united we stand" Americans?

President Obama was raised and steeped in "rights" and "injustice". That created bruised fruit. He does not have the big picture of what our country is about, nor does he appreciate his own gift of liberty.

Lift your eyes, Mr. President. Your authority is an umbrella over all Americans. Tell your AG to prosecute crimes, not practice race-selective prosecution as in the Black Panthers intimidation case http://www.examiner.com/x-40779-Chicago-Conservative-Issues-Examiner~y2010m7d7-Civil-rights-panel-issues-subpoenas-in-voter-intimidation-case . Let go of that ridiculous lawsuit against Arizona, whose law upholds your own federal law and is supported by 70% of the American public (as evidenced by 500K dollars sent in to help AZ pay for the lawyers in the lawsuit). Tell your NASA chief that his job is not to prop up the Muslim world's ego. For someone touted as THE leader to steer the ship away from racism, you sure do have race on your mind a lot.

Each day we watch the eloquent portrayal that the President painted of himself...morph into disfigurement.
