The black president no longer

President Barack Hussein Obama’s second inauguration was every bit as historic as his first — not because it said so much about the nation’s long, bitter, unfinished struggle with issues of race, as was the case four years ago, but because it said so little about the subject.

Reflect for a moment: A black man stood on the Capitol steps and took the oath of office as president of the United States. For the second time. Meaning that not only did voters elect him once — which could be a fluke, a blip, an aberration, a cosmic accident — but then turned around and did it again.

Fllo me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Shame on every last Sumbeach who voted for this Muslim Communist.

[Izzy Dunne]

I'm glad that the nation got to the point where we could elect a partially black person to the Presidency.

It's too bad that it had to be wasted on such a hateful, spiteful, petty, small, loser.

[Carriage Hill]

DITTO!

[Rennes Templar]

Wouldn’t it be great for America if we had a good black President.

But here we are, talking about legacy, not race. Which is simply amazing.

That is the last sentence of this screed. What he wanted to add on was

"And I simply can't relate to that. Race is central to everything in nmy worldview!"

[A_Former_Democrat]

No longer the “Unity” Pres__ent either, Eugene.

In fact he never was. It was all just smoke and mirrors to dupe enough white people

[jospehm20]

Yes it is.

[TigersEye]

I look forward to the election of the first American black president.

which could be a fluke, a blip, an aberration, a cosmic accident

Or massive cheating at the polls, with nary a bleep from the RINO candidate.

Obama has set race relations back at least 50 years.

He has fomented racism among blacks to the point it might well be the end of real progress.
How can there be peace between the races when blacks are taught that their every short-coming is the fault of whites?

The Obama/Holder message is that it is okay for blacks to hate, resent and envy whites beacause whites are evil racists.

And it is okay for blacks to be parasites on the taxpayers because whites owe it to them.

[skeeter]

What a boring, insipid editorial.

Sounds like Robinson's heart really isn't in this attempt at gloating.

[fatnotlazy]

If I hear that word, “historic” again today, I'm going to ralph. This inauguration should be a source of shame, not pride.

[ClearCase_guy]

Meaning that not only did voters elect him once — which could be a fluke, a blip, an aberration, a cosmic accident — but then turned around and did it again.

But we are still irredeemably racist, right?
We're still oppressing the poor black folks, yes?
We still filled with hate?
We do still owe lots and lots of reparations, right?
Nothing has changed? We're still evil?

[a fool in paradise]

The NEXT black president will get there on merit alone.

That will TRULY be historic.

[crosshairs]

not because it said so much about the nation’s long, bitter, unfinished struggle with issues of race

The only good thing about the first hussein regime is that it once and for all, clearly showed who the real racists are in this country, and it aint so much whitey.

The inauguration of Failure video 14:58

[a fool in paradise]

EVERY presidency is historic, not just the ones won by this black bastard son of a bigamist.

With every election, history turns a page and the other path is not traveled.

But some people are so damn fixated on race, that it colors their entire world view. Their mamas brought them up wrong. Told them day in and day out that no white man would ever see beyond their skin color. That is simply child abuse and the generational spreading of hate.
