Redecorating The White House.
« on: August 24, 2011, 02:53:13 PM »


President Barack Obama has taken a decidedly low-key approach to racial issues since he became America’s first black president two years ago. But in a hallway outside the Oval Office, he has placed a head-turning painting depicting one of the ugliest racial episodes in U.S. history.

Ya, whatever Barry. Certainly after the Resident of the United States has finished his one term his legacy will be being remembered as "The Great Uniter" who always took every opportunity to bring us all together as a nation.

Another ugly racial episode occurred when he was elected King of the World.

Well, you can look at the painting as a high point for vindicating and defending the principle of equality back in the day, or as a low point for a tactless and divisive display of the emphasis on race above all now.  It's all pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

Now you all know he hung that out there hoping someone would say something about it so he could shout "RACIST". ...and if you don't say anything he can shout "RACIST".

It's a win/win for him and a lose/lose for everyone else.

...and it also shows that back when things were supposed to be so bad for the black community that poor black parents some how were able to send there kids to their first day of school in nice clean clothes with school supplies in hand. Now days they show up the first day in some off the wall outfit, empty handed expecting whitey to furnish school supplies plus feed them them 2 meals for free.

Now you can shout "RACIST" at me.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
