Views of Obama By a Black Professor – Anne Wortham
by Side Street on Oct.19, 2009, under American Politics
Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul’s name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America .
I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy.. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival – all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician.
I would have to deny the nature of the “change†that Obama asserts has come to America .
Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared “progressive†whites who voted for him because he doesn’t look like them..

I am not fond of Ron Paul, but this woman is right on.

I left a comment:
Dr. Wortham tells a truth that is certainly painful for the Obamaites to hear.
Government interference into our lives spells degradation of personal freedoms. There is no other way to put it. The Obama doctrine rewards laziness and punishes entrepreneurism.
In the guise of “big bad corporations†and “the evil oil empireâ€, the lemmings of the Obama world have decreed that silly words like “Hope and Change†are going to turn things around and erase the punditry and scandals that characterize much of government today.
Dr. Wortham, truer words have never been spoken. Well done!
The comment is "awaiting moderation."
