During his current media bombardment, President Obama is wisely downplaying the charges of racism his allies have been making.
He told CNN’s John King that race wasn’t “the overriding issue” for the opponents of his health care plan. Not exactly an exoneration of his critics’ racial attitudes, but at least an acknowledgment that there is more than bigotry at work.
What Obama says is really driving the negative response to his policies is fear. Fear of “big changes.” Fear of “uncertainty.”
The president likes to equate the resistance he’s facing with that met by Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal.

The New Bad Deal. A neat trick. A Ponzi built upon a Ponzi.
His condescending blather inspires the NPR crowd which in numbers is zilch.
His Health Care program for Young people forcing them to Pay for Health Care is Social Security all over again ,Young people MUST Buy health Insurance whether they want to Or not ,they will use the Health System Less their money wiil be Subsidizing everyone else
Fear of transition is “You morons are too stupid to know what’s best for you. Yes, I’ve only been President 8 months and nothing I’ve done is worked except when I say they’ve worked and don’t believe your lying eyes, but this will work! And no new taxes, just like I said in my campaign. Oh the cost? That’s not a tax, that’s a IRS backed-you will go to jail if you don’t pay it-fee. Not a “tax”!”
Fear of the unknown is not only good but it's also healthy. Fear of the known is even more so, i.e. I fear what my hand will look and feel like if I place in on a hot stove. My point being that what we are talking about here is very “known.” Even the average American knows that the government does not have a great track record in running programs with any degree of efficiency. Obama is trying to sell every one a free lunch when most people know that there's no such thing. Hence, the skepticism he deceptively tries to write off as “fear.”
In reality everything Obama does is to divert attention from an encroaching Islamic takeover in America.
He makes extreme big rhetoric about an issue in an illogical manner and this draws attention from other slowly advancing incursions.
Islam wants America, Obama wants Islam to rule America.
Pelosi and her crowd will support anything that has the momentum to win so they can retain a power base.
In WW2 French women that slept with the enemy had their heads shaved, I think Pelosi should shop for some wigs.

The "racist" thing isn't working so well for his numbers, either...
What a hoot!
The empty suit is referring to his opponents as fearful of change while he makes the rounds on every broadcast outlet that will supplicate itself to his awsomeness. But the “brave” president is too cowardly to go on the only network show where he would likely face tough questions.
Our president; brave enough to face down the world’s nastiest while still too afraid of American newsman Chris Wallace.
There’s no need for Obama to say his opposition is racist - that’s what his lackeys are for.
He would gain nothing from saying it himself - in fact, he would come off as petty and small for doing so. All he has to do is sit back and ley the MSM, the race pimps at the NAALCP and his supporters in Congress do the dirty work for him.
Oh, and don’t think for a minute that Obama doesn’t believe his opponents are racists. He does.
What an attractive post devolve!
Too bad his underlying agenda is so ugly.
Looks like you were up in the ‘wee hours’!
