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.”

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.
