He is the beneficiary of barriers already broken, fact is I find it racist that such a fuss is made that a Black man has made it to the position of the POTUS, does race matter at all, after all Condi Rice and Powell were both black, big deal.
In my simple view it does not matter what colour you are, it’s what you think and can do that is important, and the problem is that what Obama may think is deeply worrying, the word ‘may’ is or course deeply worrying in that his background was deliberately obscured, we do not know what he stands for?
I personally cannot believe that a man who has so many unknowns and quite frankly many worrying contacts has made POTUS, a man whose church was some sort of Black supremacy church with links to the Nation of Islam, a man who is linked to the Weatherman terrorists leader Bill Ayers, a man who may not be even entitled to be POTUS, but that is another story…
However I am supposed to feel secure that Bush is being so supportive and trusting in Obama, a man who looked deep into the eyes of Putin and said that he could trust him and look at where that has got us, thanks President Bush, you make me feel so much better.
In France on Sunday 18th January we turn on the news and two days before Obama’s inauguration its already wall to wall cover, about this ‘historic moment’…, my wife and I look at each other in disgust and off goes the news.
The morning of the 19th January, cold of course, radio comes on, some Muslim talking about being produced by France, then another load of pap about how wonderful diversity is, followed by a load of simpering Obama love, off goes the radio. My wife heads to work, when she arrives she rings me, all they talked about on teh radio was diversity, we both make a pact not to watch the TV or listen to the radio for the next couple of days.
So here we are in Europe, ‘United in diversity’, more like ‘Disunited in diversity!’
In France we even have a President that suggests that the white race should deliberately breed with other races, what next forced marriages to enable this, personally I could not give a damn if people chose to marry a person of another race if that is their choice or if they find each other attractive, but the way this is highlighted smacks of fascism, same as so called positive discrimination, sorry what is positive about choosing someone above a better qualified person based on the colour of their skin or backward belief system, that is negative discrimination…
Excuse me LeFascists, Green Fascists and the like, I am not going to sit there celebrating your racist rubbish, “isn’t it great that a black man made POTUS…,” I don’t care, but I do care that a man who is possibly extreme left, a man who went to an openly racist church, a man who says what people want to hear, and lastly a man who mixes up something as important as his religion on TV is POTUS.
Hope and change, I prefer openly discussed and debated plans for developing the situation rather than putting my hope in someone like Obama, of course I may be proved wrong, but in 1997 the Labour party were elected on the basis of hope and change, that is hope and change that we can believe in…
