Ever since his teleprompter committed suicide, our- not- so- silver tongued socialist rock star, Barack Hussein Obama, has been all out of sorts. (Perhaps he's in mourning for the loss of his most competent staff member.) When asked about the arrest of his friend, Henry Louis Gates, Obama proceeded to call the Cambridge, MA, police department stupid. It was the insult heard around the world. Obama then went into another tired speech about racism. (The funny thing is: Obama admitted not having all the facts but went on his tirade anyway. The kicker is one of the officers who arrested Gates was also black.)
Let's face it. The Gates misunderstanding wasn't racism at all. It was an attempt by Obama to rehab his sagging poll numbers by confronting supposedly rogue and racist police officers and try to regain his Messiah like identity. Just like the Stimulus package and North Korea, Obama got it wrong. The FOP in Cambridge didn't lie down and apologize, they demanded an apology from Obama. Gates himself was humiliated as well. He came off as an elitist Harvard jerk that just wasn't very sympathetic. Obama tried to turn Gates into Rosa Parks ,but no one bought it.. (Well, everyone not named Al Sharpton.)
The moral of the story is this: The Sixties are over. America is sick of being preached at about race. This is why most Americans cheered when Barbara Boxer was put in her place by Harry Alford. (If you haven't seen that on Youtube, you're just letting the best in life pass you by.) This is why, according to Rasmussen, only 43% of Americans approve of Sonia Sotomayor and her liberal war cries and 75% of all Americans reject affirmative action. Now, this isn't to say that America didn't have its share of racial problems and our past doesn't have some ugliness. Nor is this to say racism is completely gone. It IS a testament to the fact that there is healing going on because Americans are seeing themselves as AMERICANS.
