Stir the racial pot, Barry

I reminded myself in posting last night that Barry is nothing more than a community organizer and campaigner in chief. He made his name, and his fortune, by stirring the community into a (usually racial) frenzy. This is his tactic, this is his B.O.'s m.o.

When I was still a clueless kid growing up in NYC, the Tawana Brawley case first turned me on to blacks who use race as a means to achieving a career end. Al Sharpton, along with his huge medalion and pompadour hairdo, convinced us that we were all racists because of the way Tawana Brawley was treated. Well- we know how that case turned out. But for some reason Al survived and continues to this very day as the leader of the racists movement in America.

That's party why I thought it so odd he spoke at Michael Jackson's funeral- not as odd as what he said- but odd that he was even there. As a kid, when everone dressed as Michael for Halloween and my mom, bless her, let me wait up until 11:30 to watch Thriller premier on Friday Night Videos, I never thought of MJ as black. Or white. Or anything. I liked his music. Period. Was I colorblind by birth and society made me see black and white? I often wonder.

But anyway- that's not the point. The point is what our Community Organizer In Chief said last night about the Gates arrest in Boston. His comments did what he does best: stir the racial pot.

Obama lives for societal tension- it's where he makes his coin. Poor v. Rich, Black v. White, Gay v. Straight- the community organizer, the Al Sharpton, the activist NEEDS to foster and subsequently exploit these tensions.

Ever hear of "divide and conquer"?

Obama's commetns last night were beyond stupid. They were insulting. And I bet Gates was a pain in the ass prick who deserved to get arrested. Because he was black? No- because he is a Harvard professor who is probably more arrogant than Obama. Is that anti-ivy-ism? Sorry. I'll take a seminar to cure my ignorance.

Obama has passed from arrogant to just plain stupid and his comments about cops and particularly about Officer Crowley are out of line. The office of the President of the United State, the White House pulpit being used to focus on one insignificant incident in Boston.

That is what Obama is good at: nitpicking, making mounts from black and white mole hills, tempests in tea pots, you get the idea. That is his forte. That is his career history. It's just so beneath the role of POTUS.

Al Sharpton will make his way up to Boston, I'm sure. The NAACP and Rainbow Push and Jessee jackson will make their way too. Shame on the professor for starting such a brohahah. Shame on the President for encouraging it.
