But I give the guy a one time pass for his stupidity. He's "Green" (pun intended) and wet behind the ears. He just graduated from college last year. When I graduated from university 46 years ago, I was a dumb f*ck too.
I think you are being naively generous. The biographic note at the end indicates that he was an active supporter of Obama. That could, of course, mean misinformed: but given the complete ignoring of the actual history involved, coupled with that active support for one pledged to "change" America, I would not give him that pass.
