No Use for Donk Twits
From behind the mask of moral salvation peeks self-serving racial rationalization.
Barack Obama — the self-anointed soul-fixing, nation-healing political Messiah — has lost his glow. That is the takeaway from the beleaguered Democratic presidential candidate’s “major” speech in Philadelphia yesterday.
For all of his supposedly unique and transcendent understanding of race in America, Obama’s talk amounted to the same old, same old. The Glowbama mystique has gone the way of the Emperor’s new clothes. Instead of accountability, we got excuses. Instead of disavowal of demagoguery, we got whacked with moral equivalence. Instead of rejecting the Blame America mantra of left-wing black nationalism, we got more Blame Whitey. Same old, same old.
For two decades, Obama tethered himself to a fire-breathing pastor peddling bitter Marxist “black liberation theology” in the name of God. Behind the “audacity of hope” was a grievance-mongering preacher animated by the voracity of hate. And understand this: The Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama were not merely passing “associates.” They were mentor and mentee, guru, and student, with fates and fortunes intertwined.
Good review of Obama's speech from a racial minority.
