Quote: Obama has never lived in a black community... - even as a community organizer.

[ In Reply To ..]
Quote: Tellingly, Obama has never lived in a black neighborhood. Maraniss reported in his book that when leftist activist Jerry Kellman interviewed Obama for a community organizing job in Chicago, he asked Obama how he felt about living and working in the black community for the first time in his life.

Obama accepted the job but chose not to live among those he would be organizing. Instead, he commuted 90 minutes each way daily from his apartment in Chicago's famous Hyde Park to the Altgeld Gardens housing project where he worked.

It was an early instance of Obama presenting himself one way while acting in quite a different way.
_____________________________

Earlier on this forum it was pointed out that Obama calls himself "black" and someone even said he is "ashamed of his white half".

Never mind whether that doesn't automatically disqualify him from pretending to be president of ALL the people...let's press on.

Obama calls himself black for one reason, and one reason only. As a black, it's been very easy for Obama to aspire to be the big fish. That's why he's trolled for his dinner on that side of the street.

But when it comes to where he lives, where he sends his kids to school and all of that - oh, well that's quite another story, isn't it?

So we "organize" the people in the slums, but at night we go home to Hyde Park. 90 good long safe minutes away from those slums! That's 3 hours a day commuting, and boy is worth it!

Now, even as I post this I'm quite sure some here still won't get it - and it can only be because they don't WANT to get it.

Let's not have any more about the Romneys, privilege and money, okee-dokee? You haven't got a toe to stand on, much less a foot.

Where's the board racist now? Obama biggest - racist of all:;

Every American should read these chapters before they vote.  We should post each of the 10 chapters for the next 10 days.  That shoud bring some very interesting debates to the boards!  Here's the Introduction:



Few if any of his predecessors took the oath of office with higher public hopes for his success than President Obama on Jan. 20, 2009.

Millions of Americans hailed his election as an end to partisanship, a renewal of the spirit of compromise and a reinvigoration of the nation's highest ideals at home and abroad.

Above all, as America's first black chief executive, Obama symbolized the healing of long-festering wounds that were the terrible national legacy of slavery, the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow. We would be, finally, one nation.

But after nearly four years in office, Obama has become a sharply polarizing figure.

His admirers believe he deserves a special place alongside Wilson, the Roosevelts and LBJ as one of the architects of benevolent government.

His critics believe he is trying to remake America in the image of Europe's social democracies, replacing America's ethos of independence and individual enterprise with a welfare state inflamed by class divisions.


In an effort to get a clearer picture of Obama -- his shaping influences, his core beliefs, his political ambitions and his accomplishments -- The Washington Examiner conducted a four-month inquiry, interviewing dozens of his supporters and detractors in Chicago and elsewhere, and studying countless court transcripts, government reports and other official documents.

Over the years and in two autobiographies, Obama has presented himself to the world as many things, including radical community organizer, idealistic civil rights lawyer, dynamic reformer in the Illinois and U.S. senates, and, finally, the cool presidential voice of postpartisan hope and change.

With his air of reasonableness and moderation, he has projected a remarkably likable persona. Even in the midst of a historically dirty campaign for re-election, his likability numbers remain impressive, as seen in a recent AP-GFK Poll that found 53 percent of adults have a favorable view of him.

But beyond the spin and the polls, a starkly different picture emerges. It is a portrait of a man quite unlike his image, not a visionary reformer but rather a classic Chicago machine pol who thrives on rewarding himself and his friends with the spoils of public office, and who uses his position to punish his enemies.

Peter Schweizer captures this other Obama with a bracing statistic in his book "Throw Them All Out," published last year. In the Obama economic stimulus program's Department of Energy loans, companies owned and run by Obama contributors and friends, like Solyndra's George Kaiser, received $16.4 billion. Those not linked to the president got only $4.1 billion. The Energy Department is far from the only federal program in which favoritism has heavily influenced federal grants.

To paraphrase Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt, Obama has seen his opportunities and taken them, over and over.

Rush and the other conservative talkers out there have been saying these things for years, but everyone kept calling them "mean", "liars", "jealous", "racists", etc. Well, well, well, the chickens are coming home to roost.
