On the day Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, I announced on my national radio show that, "While I did not vote for Barack Obama, he is my president, and I wish him well." I added that I was delighted a black man had been elected president of the United States, that perhaps this would not only help black-white relations get even better than they were but also help put to rest the notion of a racist America.
As Politico wrote in 2014, Al Sharpton, perhaps the most consistent race-baiter of the last half-century, "Became Obama's go-to man on race." According to The Washington Post, Sharpton visited the Obama White House 72 times.
Obama is idolized by liberals and leftists because he was an activist liberal whose goal, in his own words, right before he was first elected, was "Fundamentally transforming the United States of America." And because they love his cool, even-tempered, regal style.
George W. Bush, for example, never said a critical word of Barack Obama, despite the latter's frequent attacks on Bush's presidency.
Even The New York Times, in 2009, when it still published occasional articles that deviated from the left, featured an article by Helene Cooper, its then-White House correspondent, titled "Some Obama Enemies Are Made Totally of Straw." In it, Cooper cited example after example of statements ostensibly made by others, but actually made up by Obama - which he then proceeded to shoot down.
Really? What new legal immigrant thinks that way? Or is Obama dishonestly conflating legal with illegal immigrants? The answer is, of course, he is.
Obama's speech offered very little of substance about the man it was directed against, but it said much about the man who delivered it.
