Even were Trent Lott as racist as Jeremiah Wright, the comparison wouldn't work. Bush didn't listen to sermons from Trent Lott every Sunday. Trent Lott was GW Bush's Senate Majority Leader He was in the same party. They collaborated together weekly if not daily. You think the Senate ML works for the President? Or is chosen by him? I repeat they were in the same party and collaborated regularly. In fact, its likely they had a much closer relationship than Obama had with his minister. If you remember, you all attacked Obama during his campaign for not being a regular church goer. Well, then what about Robert Byrd (D-KKK)? He was Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and until his death President Pro Tempore of the Senate, which made him third in line of Presidential succession, after the VP and Speaker of the House. Do we want to call Byrd Obama's Senate President Pro Tempore? Now you are throwing sht on the wall hoping it will stick. 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. A complete untruth. Why would you even say that? Because its not true and once again you are uninformed or lying: "The decision not to file a criminal case occurred before Obama was even in office.* This means that the case was downgraded to a civil case 11 days before Obama was inaugurated, 26 days before Eric Holder became attorney general, and about nine months before Thomas Perez was confirmed as head of the Civil Rights Division. From Media Matters: # Adams has admitted that he does not have first-hand knowledge of the events, conversations, and decisions that he is citing to advance his accusations; # The Bush administration’s Justice Department — not the Obama administration — made the decision not to pursue criminal charges against members of the New Black Panther Party for alleged voter intimidation at a polling center in Philadelphia in 2008; # The Obama administration successfully obtained default judgment against Samir Shabazz, a member of the New Black Panther Party carrying a nightstick outside the Philadelphia polling center on Election Day 2008; # The Bush administration DOJ chose not to pursue similar charges against members of the Minutemen, one of whom allegedly carried a weapon while harassing Hispanic voters in Arizona in 2006; # No voters have come forward to claim that they were intimidated from voting on account of the New Black Panthers standing outside the polling center in 2008; So, no matter how many times J. Christian Adams declares that the Obama administration refuses to protect the rights of white people — and no matter how many times Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh repeat it — it’s not true. blogs.ajc.com ------------------------ 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. You're splitting hairs. Racial favoritism was a factor in the decision making process as Barofsky said. The Obama administration did force the companies to cut dealerships. Would you clear the Bush administration if they'd done this? Not a chance. If there was racial favoritism, your argument is with GM, not Obama. And why is the right always complaining that the rights of white Americans are in jeopardy when they hold most most of the economic and political power in this country? Is fear and loathing of minorities inherent to American conservatism?
