Can Obama Play the Race Card?

To acknowledge racism in ourselves is a strength, not a weakness - for it exists in all of us: black, white, brown, yellow. Fear of those different from ourselves is part of our human condition and, if I were an anthropologist, I would probably understand it as a survival instinct. To bridge the divide this causes requires honest appreciation of the impulse, before useful compensating actions can be devised. Denial of its existence is non-productive. I wish Obama could occasionally acknowledge the racial component, and simply point out that it will be dealt with as we can, without getting bogged down over intent, extent, existence etc. My druthers would not last long in the DC coliseum, so I give him slack in this [as with all I wish he could do], but not to address racism head on, misses a golden opportunity afforded by electing a black man as President.

When will the Left learn?

Libya to Flaunt Lockerbie Bomber at Celebration

Yes. This time it was Scotland. But the strongest objection our Prez could muster up was that the bomber's release was "highly objectionable".
Really? "Highly objectionable"?
Heaven forbid we insult anyone with what we say, our dead citizens and their families excluded.

And what did people think Libya was going to do with this event? Listen to the West and be quiet about it? They will do the same thing that certain Paterson NJ residents did when the twin towers went down: Dance in the streets and throw candy in the air.

Lessons, lessons, lessons...

There is an old Russian saying that goes something like this:
Garbatovo magila ispravet.
Only a grave will straighten out the 'terminally misled'. ("Garbatiy" actually means hunched over.)

We can talk until we're blue in the face. For the far Left, it doesn't matter. The only thing left to do is VOTE when the time comes.
