OBAMA’S RACE OBSESSION
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action weighed in today on the controversy over the firing of Shirley Sherrod, a black Agriculture Department official abruptly dismissed for alleged racist remarks captured on edited video footage. Once the full video was aired and her speech was put in context, officials realized that they acted prematurely and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack publicly apologized. President Obama phoned Mrs. Sherrod yesterday to personally express his regret over her treatment by his administration. The following is Rev. Peterson’s statement regarding this matter:
“The Obama Administration has a serious problem with race—they’re obsessed with it! Once again they tried to exploit what they thought was a racially charged situation and it backfired on them. Far from being a post-racial president, Barack Obama is the most racially divisive president in history. Here are a few examples:
“Neither President Obama nor any top administration official repudiated the NAACP for their lies and slander labeling the Tea Party movement as ‘racist.’ In fact, First Lady Michelle Obama embraced their platform and delivered the keynote address at the NAACP’s annual convention on the eve before they passed their anti-Tea Party resolution.
“Recently the Justice Department dismissed voter intimidation charges against the racist New Black Panther Party—showing that this administrations will not prosecute black racists despite overwhelming evidence presented to them.
“Last July, President Obama accused the Cambridge Police Department of ‘acting stupidly’ when they arrested Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates who is black—once again Obama was on the wrong side of a racially-charged issue.
“These examples show that Obama is very much a man with a racial obsession. His administration uses race as a wedge to distract and divide Americans while they advance their radial left-wing political agenda.”

Yes, iwas just at a memorial for Border Patrol Robert Rosas from Campos, killed 1 year ago on the border! What a n outrage. A minute man, Brit Craig spoke (Lady Calif’s Hubby) and said it is the beginning of a war. And we keep giving them land (Pinel AZ) ike Israel is giving up land to Palestine! Incredible
That must have been a sad memorial. I hope it wasn’t a case where he was not allowed to protect himself. In any event we MUST SECURE our borders.
Do you happen to have a link handy showing that we are giving them land?
“In Arizona in Pinal County they have put up signs warning english speaking people, not spanish that they land is too dangerous to enter.”
Unbelieveable. When will it stop. We need to get CONSERVATIVE Republicans in power.
Do you have a link to that story on the BOND site?
I couldn’t find it there, nor at google.
I looked for this title: OBAMA’S RACE OBSESSION-Jesse Lee Peterson
