But why oh why is obama being mean to Thomas? Does it really matter if he was or wasn’t qualified in obama’s mind? What on earth does obama know about being QUALIFIED for a job?

Shouldn’t obama be showing some respect to a fellow man of color? A man who is on the Supreme Court, representin’, as they say, a role model for young people of color (and even young people, in general, imagine that!) in the USA?

Why does obama, the black man that he is and won’t stop reminding us about, have no respect for Thomas? It’s outrageous, considering that, normally, brothers got to hang together. Thomas is certainly more respectable than sharpton or jackson, isn’t he? But, wait, Thomas, is considered an ”Uncle Tom”, right?

Well, obama, I do believe your ambition and ideology be getting in the way of your judgement. Again. But I guess we should be grateful that the man doesn’t even recognize his own racism. That way, he shows it to all of us and we can see what he is.
