The Olympics will not be held in Chicago. So has Obama failed Chicago? Not really: hosting the Olympics is a decidedly mixed blessing and this will be forgotten soon. Obama, however, has failed black America, and that failure may linger for a long time. The election of a black president, all other things being equal, is a good sign in American politics. All things, though, were not equal in the case of Barack Obama. He was not and is not wedded to the grand principles of American greatness. The blessings of citizenship are squandered on Barack Obama, just as the honor of being the first black president is wasted on him. It is not that American lacks great black Americans.
Clarence Thomas is a truly great black American. He felt the sting of real bigotry much more harshly than Obama. Thomas faced and then overcame the quiet anger than many blacks of his generation must have honestly felt. Instead of becoming an advocate for his race, Thomas became an advocate for constitutional government. He did not fall into the well of intractable grievances. Justice Thomas rose above them.

By being the suckiest president since Carter and screwing up the chances of any other future black candidate.... that’s how Obama has failed us.
Because of O’s failures and corruption, no black candidate will have a chance to be elected President for a hundred years.
Obama has failed ALL Americans
I think about that a lot. But, it was black America that turned out in droves and voted like robots for the most inexperienced representative of their race. It is shameful that they voted with their race and not with their brains.
As a woman, I would never blindly vote for a woman candidate, in fact I have constantly thought the world does not respect women enough yet to even warrant a woman candidate. I have always said no to that, but Palin may change my mind. Maybe VP first.
An article well worth sharing. Thanks!
Agreed totally. He's one of the smartest men in the world, and almost unknown because of the racist lefty press.
On a completely different topic, how did a fine, smart, strong good looking woman like Condi Rice stay single all these years? That's the only thing that's always troubled me about her.
I also meant to add in my comment that I agree with your post, too. 0bama’s failure will mean that guy like JC Watts or Ken Blackwell will never have a shot at the Presidency. It will be blamed on race, when it was really ideology, lack of experience, and gullible American voters who put him into a position where he was over his head that caused him to fail.
I'm not so sure it was all about race. If it was, a Condi Rice, Colin Powell or J.C Watts would have been voted for in the same percentages. Instead, the black Democratic block vote went for the black Democratic candidate. Party was first, race was secondary.
Margret Thatcher and Golda Meier did very well.
I would have voted for them. I am a guy.
Nine months later, that voting block has discovered that beyond this, Obama is a racist himself. When greeted with cop doing his job and an arrogant, elitist black college professor, he automatically assumes with no knowledge of the facts that "the police behaved stupidly."
Now, that white voting block is beginning to complain about the President's policies and plans, and of course this massive drop in the president's approval ratings has produced the expected knee-jerk cries of "RACISM!!!" from Obama's followers. You and I know this is only a reaction to his views, because if this shift is really racism, then it means that 30% of America actually had no idea Obama was black when they elected him.
But, it was black America that turned out in droves and voted like robots for the most inexperienced representative of their race.
Obama hasn’t failed black Americans, black Americans have failed America.
Well, duh! They're "not really black"!
And don’t forget Dr. Walter Williams.
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” For your country, you can ‘play by the rules’, i.e., stay in school and actually LEARN something, don't have illegitimate babies, take responsibility for your own life, stop thinking the world owes you anything, stop selling and using illicit drugs, GET A NON-GOVERNMENTAL JOB, pay taxes, etc.
Obama has failed ALL Americans.
Dang - I should have known someone else would post this before I did!
Glad you liked the post.
AT is always good to start the day!
Rush’s listeners never forget him. W.W. is one of the best sub hosts Rush has.
Now the country is in the pits.
