Of course I have to watch the ruler of the soon to be not so free world on The View. Highlight of the first segment is race. First off, he referred to the black race as a "mongrel" people. So now he is actually agreeing with the late Robert Byrd!! (see previous post) WOW! Then he said that white people were also mongrels but that somehow we are not as familiar with it. Now I'm insulted! I am a Finnish, Hungarian, German, and English mutt. I don't like your connotation Mr. Presideant. The Shirley Sherrod video clip was the hot topic. First the president talks about how the reptilian portion of our brains, when observing someone who looks different from us, is naturally cautious. But he attributed Shirley Sherrod's biases to the accumulation of her experiences. Very subtle Mr. President. I guess that this somehow discounts her racism and excuses her. He stated that we should get the facts straight before we make conclusions. Perhaps he should tell that to Howard Dean. Mr. Dean blamed FOX News for the firing of Shirley Sherrod. This is despite the fact that Ms. Sherrod was fired before her name was ever mentioned on FOX News. How about the story that is being perpetuated that the TEA Party used the "N" word as congress walked across the bridge in D.C. Breitbart still has his $100,000 bounty out there for any proof of such a thing. Yet the echo chamber of the mainstream media still reports that someone was dropping the "N" word. Is this the disinformation on which the NAACP based their official repudiation of the TEA Party. Let's get the facts straight! But the left relies on the simple method of repeating a lie over and over again so as to create the impression that it must be true.
Second segment: Stimulus ... Elizabeth complains about the notion of "saved jobs." Obama gives the example of how the states were aided by the Feds ... "saving" the jobs of teachers, firefighters, police, etc. These are not private sector jobs Mr. President. Then he moved on to the GM story (which are arguably private sector jobs). GM has put back to work 55,000 people ... and now are producing a car that nobody wants! Yippee Mr. President ... We have the VOLT! It's a car that runs on electricity. Remember during the presidential campaign Obama saying that electricity rates will "necessarily skyrocket." He said this as he was describing how he was going to destroy the coal industry. He's a great guy!!
The rest was a bit of fluff. Who cares if Obama knows who Snookie is?
