Now the right wing New York TIMES attacks Obama. More proof to Bentway's assertion that Republican race-haters really have it in for Obama: Twisting Arms at BP, Obama Sets Off a Debate on Tactics NY TIMES By DAVID E. SANGER June 17, 2010 nytimes.com WASHINGTON — First there was General Motors, whose chief executive was summarily dismissed by the White House shortly before the government became the company’s majority shareholder. Chrysler was forced into a merger. At the banks that received government bailouts, executive pay was curbed; at insurance companies seeking to jack up premiums, scathing criticism led to rollbacks. But President Obama’s successful move to force BP to establish a $20 billion compensation fund that the company will have no voice in allocating — just a down payment, the president insisted — may have been the most vivid example of what he recently called his determination to step in and do “what individuals couldn’t do and corporations wouldn’t do.” With that display of raw arm-twisting, Mr. Obama reinvigorated a debate about the renewed reach of government power, or, alternatively, the power of government overreach. . . .

Republican race-hater David Gregory attacks the White House. On the June 18 broadcast of CNBC's "Squawk Box," NBC "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory had the nerve to say: "You've got nobody in the inner sanctum of the President's advisers who has ever run a business - who have never run a business. And that's a real problem. I think there's a level of recognition about that being a problem in the West Wing as well. But the rhetoric and the policy substantively, a lot of people feel, is anti-business and getting to a point where it could really discourage businesses in the United States and certainly the multinationals working here as well." These Republican, gun-toting race haters like David Gregory are now getting completely out of control. The Civil Rights divsion of the Justice Department must act immediately to put a stop to this blatant racism.
