President Barack Obama says Virginia's governor made "an unacceptable omission" when he proclaimed it Confederate History Month without mentioning slavery.
"I don't think you can understand the Confederacy and the Civil War unless you understand slavery," said Obama, the nation's first black president. First lady Michelle Obama is descended from a South Carolina slave.

I am 46 yrs. old, I don’t think a day goes by were I am not reminded of slavery!!!!!!
What did you expect Virginia to do, celebrate the slaves?
It shouldn’t be left out of any history of the Democrat Party either.
This muslime pervert needs to be shipped back to Kenya
If it was a Democrat governor, Zero would have kept his mouth shut.
After all, it was the DEMOCRATS who were in favor of slavery.
“First lady Michelle Obama is descended from a South Carolina slave”
Is that why she received affirmative action favors her entire life?
I think we’re all going to be understanding slavery if we don’t stop this man - politically speaking, of course.
The President failed to add that he is descended from Arab slave traders.
Obama doesn’t have a shared history with Americans. He should mind his own business.
Just say it BRrack. The state acted stupidly.
And BTW. Doesn’t his name sound like a bodily noise?
As you can see, the state run media creates an issue and asks the President to comment on it. He really should not be involving himself in local/state issues. And his response was a typical response based on years of the liberal education he received from the affirmative action schools he attended.
You can’t understand Islam - including today - without mentioning slavery.
BINGO
The way things are going now, I guess the warlord-in-chief wants to have new slaves.
President Barack âHistoricâ Obama is turning into an embarrassing whiner. Yuck! Memo to âHistoricâ Obama: I hear about slavery often. Talking about unacceptable, it is the people you have appointed. Unacceptable to have scandal ridden Eric Holder as AG. Unacceptable to have a tax cheat as head of IRS. And why the fuss re revealing your birth certificate?
Touche’! Pubbies need to “wave the bloody shirt”, whenever Democrats try to call them racists.
GOOD answer
