Obama and the Race Card

A must-read by Clarice Feldman, The American Thinker: "Know When to Hold 'Em."

In my view, Obama still doesn't know when to hold or fold his race cards. Neither does the NAACP. They've been bluffing the dummies so long they think they can get away with it forever. And they are wrong.

Feldman details that Obama is far from the post-racial figure he claimed to be.

He's a racially divisive figure.

Last year, during a
speech in Strasbourg, Obama chastised America.
President Obama said the US had “failed to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world”.

His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country’s action while standing on foreign soil.

But he sought to use the mea culpa as leverage to alter European views of America and secure more troops for the war in Afghanistan.

He declared that there had to be a fundamental shift on both sides of the Atlantic. “America is changing but it cannot be America alone that changes,” he said.

Addressing a crowd of some 2,000 mainly students from France and Germany, Mr Obama said: “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.

“Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”

When it comes to issues of race, OBAMA has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

When will Obama apologize for the harm he's doing to the country in terms of race relations?
