President Barack Hussein Obamas second inauguration was every bit as historic as his first not because it said so much about the nations 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.

A black man stood on the Capitol steps and took the oath of office as president of the United States. For the second time. Fourth time. the first time Chief justice Roberts screwed it up and it had to be redone the next day. than for legal purposes they had to do it yesterday and then today for the show.

” 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.”

I expect that the,Obama daughters are also being taught that hate. A tragedy.

The Seven Black Presidents Before Barack Obama Oh, please. It takes 15 seconds to look up John Hanson and find out that the first one of those is a myth.
But no, let's spread the crap.

Barry is not really black; he's a mulatto. His supposed father was mostly Arab with some black and his mother was white. That's hardly “down for the struggle” bona fides. He's a foreign, Muslim, Marxist and that's good enough for 98 percent of America;s blacks as they exact revenge on whitey.

Hurl!
Eugene, you and your MSM friends will be reminding us tomorrow and every day of your life that Obama IS Black and Conservatives are racist.
Many of your MSM friends aren't even waiting until tomorrow.

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. So true!

Sadly, you can't fix stupid.No, the moocher base of the Democrat party is not stupid - - the moochers elected the guy they thought would do everything he could to confiscate more tax dollars from their neighbors and hand over the loot in exchange for their votes. Shameless to be sure, and selfish obviously - - but not stupid.
(Okay, those normal-looking, traditional American families who work for a living and pay taxes yet inexplicably voted for the African communist... yeah, they're stupid, no question. Profoundly stupid.)
