Obama the eloquent healer, the candidate of hopey changyness, the guy running for messiah, describes his grandmother as "A typical white person."
Think about it: can you imagine any Presidential candidate, in any context, describing anyone as a "typical black person?" Or a "typical Asian person?" Worse, what Obama said was that the "typical white person" views others of different races with fear and suspicion. Obama appears to be digging himself in deeper and deeper.
You know, I honestly don't care – at all – what color someone's skin is. I'm sick to death of identity politics and I really don't want a president who is a champion of that sort of thing and who stereotypes others based on their physical attributes.
Such soaring rhetoric just lost a few more voters for Obama. That particular set of words soared right up and got sucked into the intake of a jet engine.
UPDATE: Anthony noticed this bit of rhetoric, too.
Those who profess that "we are all equal" will then have to explain why Obama is exempt from any accusation of being an "equal opportunity" racist himself?
Frighteningly, Obama is a fraud (Krauthammer) , and an America-loathing defeatist, just like his wife, and Pastor.
Aalong these same lines… I’m damn sick of blacks wanting racial equality while calling themselves African-Americans… imagine the hew and cry if I went around calling myself a Caucasian-American, or Welsh-American or English-German-Welsh American… maybe… just maybe…
It’s time for those doing the howling, to shut up, get over it and move on! I am sick of it!
This "typical white person" finds Obama insulting at best, a racist bigot himself at worst.
