Admitted Blank Slate Obama misses the point….again--Second by second real time analysis by C. Edmund Wright:
Aside from the stunning announcement that a 9 year old girl in South Carolina has discovered a cure for cancer….mustard and relish sandwiches….Barack Obama totally misses the point of the Jeremiah Wright fire storm and called the Reagan revolution nothing more than a white version of what is going on in his and other black churches.
Obama continued to dig his Jeremiah Wright pit deeper and deeper, making it more delicious by claiming that many talk radio hosts have built careers simply on the race issue with claims of “reverse racism.” He did this to applause so tepid it sounds like the polite clap of a tap in bogey in an obscure golf tournaments first round.
QUICK LOOK BACK: Obama, in his autobiography, called himself a blank slate. Obama’s book, by the way, is called “The Audacity of Hope.” That very title was taken from the man who the blank slate calls his mentor, his spirutual advisor and a dear friend.
In other words, many of the blanks on this slate have been filled in by this very man…this Pastor Jeremiah Wright. It can be said, in fact, that more of this slate has been colored in by Wright than by any other single person. No one else in Obama’s past, present and likely, future, will hold the title of pastor, mentor, spiritual advisor and great friend for anything like a 20 year period.
Now, we are to believe that this is simply a case of agreeming or disagreeing with anyone’s “pastor, priest or rabbi.” Yes, as long as for any of us our pastor is also our chief slate filler, mentor, priest, rabbi, spiritual advisor and for the heckuvit….the inspiration for our autobiography. I will agree. For the 4 people on the planet who can say that, this is a proper analogy.
None of those other four are running for President. None of those others are a blank slate where it is so imperative that we as a society find out what it is that is on that slate and where it came from. Obama is who he is in large part because of what Jeremiah Wright has put in him. This we get from the facts of Obama’s chronology and from Obama’s book. It is non negotiable.
And the Jeremiah Wright infusion includes things like God Damn America and blaming America for 9-ll and accusations (and accompanying high fives) of the government of white people inventing AIDS for the express purpose of exterminating blacks. They blame white America for bringing in drugs for the same purpose. The Jeremiah Wright infusion is by any measure anti White, anti American and a perversion of the scritpures.
LOOK AT THE PRESENT: So now Obama is saying that he can’t “dis-own” Wright. That could be a stunningly bad bit of political judgement. It could be an admission that it is a lot of Jeremiah Wright that is part of Obama’s self proclaimed “unique DNA.” Perhaps a much bigger part than the Hawaiian and white part of his DNA that he sought so badly to cleanse himself of by being a close friend and follower of Wright to begin with.
And while that is sinking in, Obama is now changing the subject to Brown versus Board of Education and the problems that have not been solved in 50 years. You know, problems not solved by liberal policies. We went on to dally into welfare and basic services and parks and police beats and building code enforcement…as agents of black violence. Huh? This is beyond vacuous…it is logically challenged and just plain silly.
He added that the memory, anger and bitterness has not gone away in 50 years. It “does find voice in the barber shop and the beauty shop. Used to gin up votes along racial lines to make up for politicians’ failures.” Well yes Barack…that’s the point…you have told us you were above and beyond that.
He then added that there is similar anger in the white community. According to Obama, he says “their experience is the immigrant experience. They built it from scratch…and now they see their jobs go overseas and their pensions dumped.” According to Obama, this was the “anger over welfare and affirmative action helped form the Reagan revolution.” He claimed it built talk radio careers as well…singularly built those careers.
In contradicting himself, he said it is wrong to “dismiss as racist” these feelings among white people. Er, excuse me sir…it’s YOUR party that calls these people racists!!! Not to mention your pastor.
And of course, no good desciple of Jeremiah Wright will leave out the Victimhood 101 course. He then blamed everything on “the corporate squeeze” and “crumbling schools” (run by liberals, I might add). He then made no sense by saying that affirmative action laws must be enforced and then seconds later said it is important to realize that “your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams.” Geez. Do you think Jeremiah could have worked a tad of LOGIC into a sermon along the way?
Overall, I am estatic. I think Obama did nothing but continue to fan these flames. He also seemed extremely mortal and nothing like the airy above the fray post-racial candidate that cannot be stopped. He opened up many more questions than he answered. And those he answered, he did so with revised history or logic meltdowns.
Oh, and in other news. Healthcare costs solved. Cancer cured by low cost mustard-relish sandwiches. Film at eleven.
