Sam Donaldson, who regularly treated President Ronald Reagan with disrespect, feels he knows exactly why Neil Munro of the right-leaning Daily Caller treated Barack Obama with disrespect. During the president’s recent announcement that he had decided to make up laws by himself from now on, effectively granting immunity to some illegal aliens with a wave of his almighty hand, Munro shouted out a question rather than waiting for the president to leave the podium without taking any questions.
Donaldson’s reaction in part: “Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American!”
AdvertisementWell, the old hairpiece has a point. As far as I’m concerned there are only two plausible reasons to oppose President Obama: either because he’s clearly the worst president in American history, or because he’s black.
For me, it’s because he’s black.
Oh, I know, some of you are suspicious. You think that secretly I dislike Obama because he’s increased the federal debt by nearly five trillion dollars and given us our highest deficits since 1946 and yet has made not one serious proposal to reform the entitlements that are clearly causing the problem.
But no, so help me, I just happen to be put off by the whole brown epidermis thing. It gets to me.
Some on the left have unleashed wild accusations that I harbor a primal animosity toward Obama’s shredding of the Constitution, or his opposition to the ideals of the American founding. They think I look at Obama’s membership in a European-style socialist party (about which he lied) or his close relationship with anti-American terrorist William Ayers (about which he lied) or his twenty year tutelage under the racist, anti-American preacher Jeremiah Wright (about which he almost certainly lied) or the several attempts at government encroachments so overweening that they have been struck down 9-0 by a normally divided Supreme Court — and see all that as evidence that this president is less committed to the American project than any leader of this continent since King George.
Wrong! I’m just not down with this whole African-American business. I mean, the guy’s all, like, dark and stuff. What’s that about?
Listen, I don’t mind black people in their proper place. I can accept someone like Thomas Sowell, say, as one of the greatest political philosophers of our time, or Congressman Allen West as a shining example of the best and bravest men this nation can produce. But when it comes to running an administration of incompetence, corruption, arrogance and ignorance, well, doggone it, I feel that’s a job for a white man!
So to Sam Donaldson I say: “You got me. I don’t like Obama because he’s black. You I don’t like because you’re an idiot.”
sat·ire /ˈsætaɪər/
1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.
Since we’re going to be accused of this anyway, might as well capitalize on the fun.
I guess Herman Cain opposes Obama for the same reason.
Me, too, but with slightly different reasoning. I don’t oppose Barack because he’s black, but because he, Michelle, Holder, Valerie, et al are BLACK (capital B). That is, their racial identity comes before just about anything else, and certainly before their shared feelings with me about the common good in American society.
I guess we should finally admit it!
We ALL hate Obama because he is black, OK there I said it.,
If only the democraps could put up a white guy who would increase debt by $5trillion, and spend more than all previous presidents combined, and ignore the constitution, and only obey laws he agrees with- well then that would be OK
but a black guy? uh-uh.... no way
Only us whities can destroy the country
Obama is a halfsies, Half black and half white. One man proving under one roof that both races can be incompetent
LMAO
Might as well oppose him because he is Black.
If you oppose him you’ll be branded for that being the only reason.
I oppose tribalism, which is how Mr. Obama is governing.
I don’t even consider Obama black. I consider him a foreigner.
He’s a half-white guy that grew up in a Muslim culture and on islands. This race stuff is insufferable.
I imagine a screen-shot of your thread title will be making the rounds through the interwebs to prove that FR is indeed racist.
Not so sure that only white guys can destroy the country but hey, let’s give them a chance. They can’t do any worse than the Black guy and his buddies and buddettes.
I was always amazed when I worked in Nigeria that they have a knack for making even new stuff look old and trashy.
Oh well, la, la, la, la.
Love it!!!
And that's being kind.
Jimmy Carter Accuses U.S. of ‘Widespread Abuse of Human Rights’
I Oppose Barack Obama Because He’s Black
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, if liberals can oppose someone because they are white, or Christian, or rich or....
Then using liberal logic... it must be OK to oppose Obama for being black.
Bravo.
lmao......love it.
Lol!
No! I oppose Barack Obama because he's white.
Listen, I don’t mind black people in their proper place. I can accept someone like Thomas Sowell, say, as one of the greatest political philosophers of our time, or Congressman Allen West as a shining example of the best and bravest men this nation can produce. But when it comes to running an administration of incompetence, corruption, arrogance and ignorance, well, doggone it, I feel that’s a job for a white man!
So to Sam Donaldson I say: “You got me. I don’t like Obama because he’s black. You I don’t like because you’re an idiot.”
Just be sure you don’t say ‘first black president’ and ‘worst president ever’ in the same sentence. Ooops.
All this talk about disliking Obama because he’s black is a compelling enough reason to dislike him. But I have an emphatically more intense rationale for disliking him. I dislike him or better yet I abhor him because he’s a n... n...., n...,n....., n....., no-good, wholly unqualified, good for nothing, nobody
“I Oppose Barack Obama Because He’s Black”
“No! I oppose Barack Obama because he’s white. “
Hey, kids- you’re both right!
(Reminds me of a very old SNL skit: He’s a floor wax AND a yummy desert topping!)
Obama’s half black so I’m a half racist. LOL!
Oh, just for the record, my wife is an American of African descent.
5.56mm
I liked Herman Cain, and wish things had turned out different. Alas he turned out to be someone I couldn’t support in the end. I won’t countenance Bill Clinton’s behavior whether it relates to him or a person I am considering supporting.
As you intimated, Herman is Black. I couldn’t care less. It’s what he does or supports that matters to me. By the same token, that’s how I judge Obama.
Sam Donaldson is the same prick today that he was in the Reagan White House Press Room. He deserves to have someone walk up to him and punch his lights out for about thirty minutes. I wouldn’t advocate it, but thems are the facts.
I still laugh at the reality of it...
Obama is (considered) to be half Black and half White. Therefore he is considered Black.
George Zimmerman is (considered) to be half Hispanic and half White. Therefore he is considered White.
The irrationality of the Left knows no bounds.
P. S., No matter the race of your wife, I am glad she sees Obama for what he is.
Not implying it was of no significance her race..., it is icing on the cake considering her thoughts about him.
Take care bud...
Note to Donaldson — the ken doll wants his hair back.
I’m not sure which side of Obama I hate more. The white commie side or the black downlow side.
“You mean he’s a black white man?”
“No. He’s a white black man. —said of an albino African tribesman in the film “Stanley and Livingstone” (1939)
That's why Republicans are running Romney.
If one supports Herman Cain & Allen West but not Bam that person could be a 1/3rd racist as per that
dip$h%t Donaldson.
According to the liberals, Clinton was the first black president. I hate Clinton, not because he was the first black president, but for the same reasons I hate Obama. They were/are both arrogant pri*ks who only think of themselves and their power. They hate America and want to destroy it.
Carter was the worst president America ever had, but Obama has even outdone Jimmy. I hate Carter because he was weak, hated America. Helped our enemies (and still does) and endangered the lives of the Iran hostages. He also gave power to those in the Middle East that hate America and empowered them to attack us at every chance.
I don’t hate these buffoons because of their skin color. I hate them for their liberalism, socialism, anti-Americanism and the damage they so willingly do to our country.
My understanding of crime stats is that Hispanics are counted as “white” if they are the perps and “minority/hispanic” if they are the victims.
Herman Cain must be one of those black white supremists...
best/only Chappelle skit I liked.
Thank you, Andrew Klavan. Thank you. Please keep writing and servo1969 - please keep posting this man. If we can laugh at dem attacks - rather than trying to defend ourselves, we win.... Thanks again to both of you.
LOL, today I wouldn’t doubt it a bit.
“Who is the coolest guy
That is what am
Fast talkin’, slow walkin’
Good lookin’ Mohair Sam”
I was extremely amused to hear a political chat wherein one person stated, I voted for Obama to prove I'm not racist but now I’m going to have to vote for Romney to prove I'm not stupid.
And neither half is African american
George Zimmerman is (considered) to be half Hispanic and half White. Therefore he is considered White.

Don’t forget Bill Richardson (D-NM), who in most ‘casual’ pictures looks like a typical Irishman, but when necessary they ‘make him up to look’ and he exploits his Spanish heritage.
He was a comer till he threw the Clintons under the bus, but then again he was being opportunistic and didn’t realize the “AA” in the White House didn’t need or desire many “H’s” so he settle on a Lezbo Supreme Court Justice and after ‘teasing’ Richardson with VP, then naming Biden, then basically offering Rich SecState, then giving to HRC (paybacks are hell- guess HRC was just interested in ‘bumping’ Richardson).
Guess Richardson’s ‘White 1/4 didn’t get along with OB’s 1/2 White.
It is all so confusing, and YES, this is a helluva good campaign, just all of us admitting we are racist takes a weapon out of the Libs hands.....

He’s only half black, so you oppose only half of him?
“this president is less committed to the American project than any leader of this continent since King George.”
I liked that line.
read it
The first broadside, the Alinsky-ing of the Race Card. Good job!
Old Sammy Donaldson is none too “Swift,” as Klavan points out.
half black....
I know it was satire, but guess what else was?
