Obama: Criticism Leveled At Me "Doesn't Have To Do With My Race In Particular"
Real Clear Politics Video ^ | August 29, 2013 | Ian Schwartz

GWEN IFILL, PBS NEWSHOUR: I interviewed Taylor Branch, the civil rights historian, for part of our series on the March on Washington yesterday, and one of the things he said was that you suffer – you are a victim of partisan racial gridlock. That’s the way he put it. And you talked a moment ago about that a little bit. I wonder whether you think that’s true, and if so, what, if anything, the first African-American president can do to break through that kind of motivated gridlock.

He's part black, part white, with pinko policies.

The LACK of criticism has a lot to do with one half of his race.

....that kind of motivated gridlock

At the risk of sounding racist - you know damn well someone wrote that question with that phrase in it for her.

Now he is campaigning to cover all if his bases. If Obama is representative of black leadership in government, the he has set the black race back to before MLK. If he is what black leadership is all about, why would we ever want to vote for another black man or woman? So he covers his bases by now using his “white half.” Thank heavens for the few examples of Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott and Dr. Ben Carson. Hmmm, I didn’t see them at the MLK memorial. MLK would have invited them first I bet.

Hey CLOWN: Your race “in particular” or in GENERAL has *NOTHING*, and I repeat NOTHING to do with conservatives’ criticism...your hatred of Christianity, the Constitution, and capitalism is what drives us to oppose you.

I couldn’t care LESS whether you were red, yellow, black or white.
