Obama: Tea Partiers are angry that I'm black and they're broke -- Pres. Obama has successfully avoided reducing the complex populist outrage of the Tea Party to racial anxiety--in public, that is. Behind closed doors, however, he allegedly has no problem distorting the motivations of anti-government types. According to a new book by Kenneth T. Walsh, Obama expressed to guests at a private White House dinner party his belief that "many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough." When one of his dinner guests said that Tea Partiers were attempting to "stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president," Obama responded that the Tea Party did indeed have a racist "subterranean agenda."That's amazingly ignorant. The Tea Parties and opposition in general to Obama has never been about race. It's about policies and about opposition to socialism. Period.
It's not the black in Obama that bothers me, it's the red.

Oh, SURELY the Tea Partiers are raaaaacist--how about all those white Congresscritters they've protested All those protests as just so clearly raaaaacist; how can there be any doubt?
I for one have had it up to here with this racist administration and the chickenhearted buzzards who refuse to call them out on this despicable stance! From holder to his association over the years with radical hating racists, the President always manages in the end to show his true colors. Slam his Leftist policies, you’re a racist! Disagree with his complete incompetency in foreign policy, you’re a racist. Point out the open faced lies about cutting the deficit in his budget, you’re a racist! In other words, try to have a civil discourse with any radical leftist in this country today using facts and figures, you are a racist!
Debate and civil discourse. It’s where ideas come from! It’s a forum to, if not fix a problem, at least address it and come up with some consensus to at least try! As such, debate or discussion can hurt one’s feelings and/or illicit some rather harsh reactions. My point is until we as a people can discuss stuff without hate, until we can cast aside our own ideologies, our biases, etc. and approach a subject with open minds, there cannot be fixes. As a society we must work together. Listening is a fine art. Learning and changing one’s mind due to constructive criticism, and I want to emphasize that, constructive criticism is a sign of maturity and leadership. Can you even remotely understand this view Mr. President, or is your head stuck so far up your elitist ass that you as most politicians are too far above us mortals to bother worrying about it? From my little part of the world, it sure appears that way! One thing for sure in my view. You and your administration have done more to set back racial relations in this country than any other administration in my lifetime!
Debate is imperative for this country to survive. Criticism is good, provided it is true! As I said, debate must be accompanied by open minds. This must be conducted by using the Truth and Facts! This must be done by educating yourselves! Keep an open mind, but dig up everything you can from both sides. Then make an informed decision. As we go forward, we will be called fear mongers and worse! WEAR IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR. Radicals of any persuasion FEAR the truth and facts, so shout it out as loudly as possible. This is our country. Love for country and the ideals it was founded on IS NOT HATE as the hard left keeps saying. Opposing bad policy IS NOT RACISM as we are charged with! Fight the BIG LIE with the TRUTH! Our country depends on this!
When it comes to race, this president and his leftist cronies have cried wolf too often. Like Holy Coast said, it's not the color "black" that worries people, but the "red" that motivates these radicals.
I've heard some people say Obama's an idiot; wish that were true. But he knows exactly what he's doing, and that's the part that scares me.
