Barack Obama is the Mulatto Mussolini.
He sat out the struggle
in Punahou School. His issue is with the United States of America, not with segregation, slavery, and what-not solved problems.

BigGovernment.com has uncovered a private memorandum written over three decades ago that offers a unique glimpse into Mr. Gingrich’s longstanding attitudes about race.

The private memo, dated July 1, 1980, was written by Mr. Gingrich on his official House of Representatives stationery and was sent to then-candidate Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager, Bill Casey, who would later become President Reagan’s CIA Director.
In the memo, Mr. Gingrich urges Governor Reagan’s campaign to reconsider its decision not to speak to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Convention.
“This is a great opportunity to prove that a conservative Republican can speak to the hearts and pocketbooks of Black Americans,” Gingrich urged in the memo.
The memorandum goes on to explain that a decision not to speak at the NAACP convention would insult African American voters and be a “tragedy” for the nation:
Many middle class Black Americans who would vote for Reagan will be insulted by his non-attendance. I urge you to schedule the speech and talk about Kemp’s Inner City Jobs Bill, which Kilpatrick and George Will have both endorsed as acceptably conservative.
Failure to attend the NAACP convention will be a tragedy for Gov. Reagan and the country. Symbolic events are vital. Thank you for considering this. The 1980 Gingrich memorandum aligns with comments the former Speaker has made more recently.
At a January 5, 2012 event in Plymouth, New Hampshire, Mr. Gingrich said that if he were invited to speak to the NAACP he would accept: And so, I’m prepared, if the NAACP invites me, I’ll go to their convention to talk about why the African American community should demand pay checks and not be satisfied with food stamps. And I’ll go to them and I’ll explain a brand new social security opportunity for young people, which would be particularly good for African American males, because they’re the group that gets the smallest return on social security because they have the shortest life span. And under social security today, you don’t build up an estate, but if you’re allowed to build up an estate, if your tax money went into your savings and it was your money, if something happened to you, your family got you restate, the difference in transfer of wealth to the black community would be amazing.
Those and subsequent comments have sparked controversy among liberal critics who have taken issue with Mr. Gingrich’s contention that President Barack Obama has been America’s greatest “Food Stamp President,” a reference to Mr. Obama’s unprecedented expansion of the food stamp program (officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
Mr. Gingrich’s 1980 plea that the Reagan campaign should reach out to the NAACP and make inroads with black voters was just the first of many he has made to GOP candidates over many years.
As ABC News has reported, in his book Real Change, Mr. Gingrich criticized President George W. Bush’s “failure to address the NAACP,” which according to Gingrich, sent a “clear signal to the African American community that Republicans did not see them as worthy of engagement in dialogue.”
Also, in 2008, Mr. Gingrich criticized those 2008 Republican presidential candidates who declined to participate in a black voter forum hosted by Tavis Smiley.
Still, while it’s unlikely that Mr. Gingrich’s 1980 private memorandum urging the Reagan campaign to speak at the NAACP convention will change the minds of those determined to play the race card against him, the document reveals that Mr. Gingrich’s desire to restore the historic relationship between the Republican Party and black voters extends over three decades.
I would like to remind all “Americans” that Barack Obama was never down with “The Struggle”
He is playing everyone.
This memo will be burried by the msm, RINOs, Drudge, Glenn Beck and all the usual suspects. It won’t hardly see the light of day.
They need to inject race into this election. That’s why Juan Williams tried and failed to play the race card the other night. The race card is about the only card left in their hand so they need it to be playable. This memo helps Gingrich’s position but it won’t stop them from slapping that card down every chance they get.
If the GOP spent $1 billion to put this out, blacks wouldn’t believe it, care about it, change their votes about it.
Time, bandwidth, pixels, labor hours spent on it are wasted, subtracting from many options yielding results.
I would like to have a race card bingo game for the election season. Maybe there should also be a class envy/warfare one, too.
I am even thinking of making a little sheet of square and checking one off each time I hear someone pull a race card. Then, when full, I will send it somewhere.
Oops. SB ‘squares’
Obama was raised as a “Privileged White Boy”
While you (the people) were struggling Obama was off to play golf in Hawaii, and had no problem getting Moochie her own 757 so she could get there 4 hours earlier to do a bit of shopping.
This guy sucks! I find him offensive in his lavishness while he votes down jobs and lower energy costs. (Keystone pipeline)
Race card bingo? That deserves a FrankR graphic. I hope he supplies one. :)
you know that one will be played relentlessly.
Cards you won't see Obama playing:
economic boom card
affordable gasoline card
the job creation card
the home ownership card
the American prosperity card
I hope he nails the NAACP for their support of Black Genocide, a/k/a Planned Parenthood’s racist, eugenic abortion mission.
Newt’s a long-term thinker. He’s playing chess while most of the rest of the Republicans are playing tiddly winks.
