“Brothers and sisters here in River City we got ourselves a real problem…”
Regarding Barack Obama’s myopia, I recently read an article covering an interview with Barack Obama’s sister. During the interview she attempted to answer the question as to why in the face of obvious continuing racial insults, Barack continues to cling to the argument that the public animus directed at him is not racially motivated but due to other reasons. She said that Barack attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school as a youngster in Hawaii. According to her this school is well known among the locals for producing graduates that are highly passive and submissive when confronted with racial conflicts with white people. She said she believes it is this behavior in Barack that many white people misclassify as being “super cool”. More below the fold.
Assuming Barack’s sister has a correct assessment of President Obama’s personality, and after an extensive nine month high powered smear campaign, the right wing MSM TV Hosts (Beck, Dobbs, etc) have concluded that for some reason, they have no need to fear any repercussion from the Obama administration, then we all are in a heap of trouble!
Jimmy Carter had to say it for Barack, because those rose colored Hawaiian glasses put on Barack’s young psyche has disconnected him from racial reality in America. Now I have met a lot of black men who felt and behaved exactly like Barack when it came to matters of race. But these men did not hold the responsibility of the American Presidency in their hands, so in this respect, their respective attitudes were at the most inconsequential. So as President Carter put it, “racism is once again bubbling up because some people refuse to accept the reality of a black man as President of the United States”. Carter’s response to a question about the surge in racism in America was essentially a clear unequivocal warning not only to the White House but to the Congress and State Houses all over the country.
When the question concerning President Carter’s statement that the expanding animus toward the President was due to racism was asked at today’s White House press conference, the Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “the President DISAGREES with President Carter and doesn’t believe he is being attacked because of his race. The President does not believe criticism comes based on the color of his skin”

Currently the issue is one of control!! No government anywhere in the world would allow direct widespread public expressions advocating insurrection and calls for overthrow of the Federal Government to go on as long as the Obama administration has without taking strong direct suppressive action. There’s a time for ice cream and there’s a time for castor oil, and unfortunately for the Obama administration its castor oil time.
I realize that some after reading the foregoing will snark and leave comments of disbelief calling for tin foil hats and such. To these folks I say, pray stay a little while longer and take my short trip down memory lane.
I am old enough to recall life in the United States during the Joe McCarthy period. Congressman McCarthy turned his dedicated mission to root out communism from every aspect of American life into a blatant grab for dictatorial power. Initially, McCarthy was laughed off as another Congressional clown wasting the taxpayer’s money on another stupid crusade. However, as his power grew and people started losing their life long careers simply because of a possible association that they may have had with some person in college or elsewhere, a person now publicly branded either as a communist or a fellow traveler. In order to make his dream into a reality, McCarthy knew that he would need absolute control over the American military, so he turned his anti-communist probe onto the General Staff of the U.S. Army. At this point the entire nation was nervously watching the drama unfold down in Washington. The Army desperately needed counsel and picked Harvard Professor, Joseph Welch, to represent them before McCarthy’s committee. For a nation cowered by fear, Joe Welch’s dry wit and encyclopedic knowledge of law broke McCarthy’s threatening grip upon the nation, and in my estimation saved America from a McCarthy dictatorship. Historically, Joe Welch was the right man at the right place, at the right time and he saved the nation. I have seen absolute fear grip this nation twice in my life and the McCarthy era was one of those times, so I know that this nation is highly susceptible to fear tactics.
I am certainly aware along with most of the Nation that the President’s plate and work schedule is overloaded with high priority issues demanding attention. But in the overall scheme of things, nothing, in my opinion, outranks the peaceful preservation of domestic law and order and internal security. The right of all Americans to go about their daily lives without the fearful prospect of encountering brutal mob violence is a sacred trust guaranteed by the Constitution; and the unique priority status of that right shall not, yea must not be bargained away or abrogated no matter how temporary in the commerce of political necessity or political expediency.
Without direct and immediate action to shut down this racially inspired growing micro-rebellion, the administration stands to lose control over law and order in many sections of the country in the near future. The current situation is made even more precarious by the teetering economy. If the economy experiences another downward spiral and employment climbs toward 15% nationwide, the ranks of the newly resurrected militias will explode with the rush of new recruits. The Obama administration needs to read the current issue of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report which details the return of the Militia Movement in the United States and its current explosive growth. This is serious stuff, remember the Oklahoma City bombing? Mr. President it’s time to take off those rose colored glasses and take a long hard look at America’s current reality.
