his 20 year relationship with Jeremiah Wright
How does that make Obama racist? Is GW Bush a racist because he hung out with Trent Lott?
A bad comparison. Trent Lott didn't preach a racist doctrine for decades and Bush didn't "hang out" with anyone like that or attend a church like that.
Excuse me. Trent Lott sparked controversy as late as 2002 when he made these racist comments:
"Political controversy ensued following remarks Lott made on December 5, 2002 at the 100th birthday party of Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Thurmond ran for President of the United States in 1948 on the Dixiecrat (or States' Rights) ticket. Lott said: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either."[3]
Thurmond had based his presidential campaign largely on an explicit racial segregation platform. Lott had attracted controversy before in issues relating to civil rights. As a Congressman, he voted against renewal of the Voting Rights Act, voted against the continuation of the Civil Rights Act and opposed making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a federal holiday.[4] The Washington Post reported that Lott had made similar comments about Thurmond's candidacy in a 1980 rally.[5] Lott gave an interview with Black Entertainment Television explaining himself and repudiating Thurmond's former views.[6]
Lott resigned as Senate Republican Leader on December 20, 2002. Bill Frist of Tennessee was later elected to the leadership position. In the book Free Culture, Lawrence Lessig argues that Lott's resignation would not have occurred had it not been for the effect of Internet blogs. He says that though the story "disappear[ed] from the mainstream press within forty-eight hours", "bloggers kept researching the story" until, "[f]inally, the story broke back into the mainstream press.""

Just as I suspected.
his administration's dismissal of charges against a racist black panther,
A known fact.
Don't you mean the Bush administration?
No, I meant the Obama administration.
Look up the history on that issue. The Bush administration dismissed the allegations well before Obama.
--------------
Decisions on which car dealerships to close as part of the auto industry bailout -- closures the Obama administration forced on General Motors and Chrysler -- were based in part on race and gender, according to a report by Troubled Asset Relief Program Special Inspector General Neal M. Barofsky."
A lie.
Not a lie at all. You just don't want to hold the Obama administration responsible for the results of their actions. You wouldn't do that for another administration.
You're lying. Barofsky didn't say what you originally claimed he said and it was GM and Chrysler that decided which dealers went and which ones stayed.........not Obama. |
