Suppose He Was “Lily White”?

I'm sick and tired of being called a “racist” because I criticize our “Appeaser in Chief”, Barack Hussein Obama.

Here's a question I'd like to ask anyone who I hope will give me an honest answer to - suppose Obama was “lily white”, do you think he'd be president today? Is he our first “affirmative action” president? Forget about his racial makeup, would he have gotten as far as he has gotten, just on his experience and resume? What did he do in his life that qualified him to be President of the United States?

He started out as an adult as a Community Organizer in Chicago, whose main job it was to organize protests at banks by the poor minority residents (mostly inner-city black people) to get low cost mortgages (sub-prime mortgages). He also directed and advised the local chapter of ACORN, in and around Chicago. During that time, he landed a part-time job as a lecturer (not a professor) at the University of Chicago law school teaching about the methods and techniques of Saul Alinsky (the author of the book, “Rules for Radicals”). Since he had the bug in him for politics, he joined the rabidly anti-Semitic, anti-American church led by the rabble-rousing Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This gave him the entree into the realm of the movers and shakers of the Chicago political machine. He kicked off his political career with an introduction and fund raising event at the home of admitted domestic terrorists, Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. From there, his political career shot up to where he was elected an Illinois State Senator. It must be noted that during his tenure in the Illinois State Senate, he voted “present” “130” times, avoiding taking a stand on quite a few controversial issues. But, one act he did vote for, was the law that permitted doctors to end the life of a baby that had been aborted, but survived the procedure. Many have claimed that this law was a form of infanticide. He then gave a very emotional, highly charged speech at the National Democratic Convention in 2004 which catapulted him onto the national scene. In 2006, he was elected U.S Senator from the State of Illinois, after some hanky-panky on the part of his campaign against his opponent. After a few months as a U.S Senator, he decided to take his oratorical skills and “silver-tongue” and announced that he was going to be the first black president of the United States. The rest is history.

With such a nondescript record of achievement, how could he have gotten to the point of becoming the President of the United States?

There really is only one answer, he was a Democrat who was black (even though he was half-white - but considered black by the media). Never in our history has someone risen to such a high office with so little preparation and experience as has Barack Hussein Obama, Would he have gotten to that position if it wasn't for his racial makeup?

I know I'll be vilified and called a “racist”, again, but I'd appreciate it if someone would convince me that I am wrong in making that assessment as to why Obama is today called President.

Let the darts and arrows begin!
