Sam Donaldson, who regularly treated President Ronald Reagan with disrespect, feels he knows exactly why Neil Munro of the right-leaning Daily Caller treated Barack Obama with disrespect. During the president’s recent announcement that he had decided to make up laws by himself from now on, effectively granting immunity to some illegal aliens with a wave of his almighty hand, Munro shouted out a question rather than waiting for the president to leave the podium without taking any questions.
Donaldson’s reaction in part: “Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American!”
Well, the old hairpiece has a point. As far as I’m concerned there are only two plausible reasons to oppose President Obama: either because he’s clearly the worst president in American history, or because he’s black.
For me, it’s because he’s black.
Oh, I know, some of you are suspicious. You think that secretly I dislike Obama because he’s increased the federal debt by nearly five trillion dollars and given us our highest deficits since 1946 and yet has made not one serious proposal to reform the entitlements that are clearly causing the problem.
But no, so help me, I just happen to be put off by the whole brown epidermis thing. It gets to me.
Some on the left have unleashed wild accusations that I harbor a primal animosity toward Obama’s shredding of the Constitution, or his opposition to the ideals of the American founding. They think I look at Obama’s membership in a European-style socialist party (about which he lied) or his close relationship with anti-American terrorist William Ayers (about which he lied) or his twenty year tutelage under the racist, anti-American preacher Jeremiah Wright (about which he almost certainly lied) or the several attempts at government encroachments so overweening that they have been struck down 9-0 by a normally divided Supreme Court — and see all that as evidence that this president is less committed to the American project than any leader of this continent since King George.
Wrong! I’m just not down with this whole African-American business. I mean, the guy’s all, like, dark and stuff. What’s that about?
Listen, I don’t mind black people in their proper place. I can accept someone like Thomas Sowell, say, as one of the greatest political philosophers of our time, or Congressman Allen West as a shining example of the best and bravest men this nation can produce. But when it comes to running an administration of incompetence, corruption, arrogance and ignorance, well, doggone it, I feel that’s a job for a white man!
So to Sam Donaldson I say: “You got me. I don’t like Obama because he’s black. You I don’t like because you’re an idiot.”

Made me chuckle. I posted it on a site I thought might give me a time out. It seems they are not as dense as I thought.

I never liked him because anyone who submitted a blind resume to be president for a week with his background would be laughed at.
The liberals are so invested in doing "right" they can't.
Their hope of running around and saying they produced the first black president is rapidly running out of steam.

This morning, Justice John Roberts flipped and ruled Obamacare constitutional. I ain't surprised - there's too much money (trillions) involved.
IMO, the whole deal is about the fact that health care providers, especially hospitals, are unable to collect 40% to 45% of their billings. There's a lot of bad medical debt because hospitals are required by law to provide care but many people simply can't pay. In the past this system has worked fairly OK because health providers set their charges at astronomical levels so those of us who pay their bills and have health insurance more than make up for all the uncollectables.
NOW, the government comes along and says under Obamacare they'll pay all those formerly uncollectable hospital bills with taxpayer (and created-out-of-thin-air) money. Nobody's going to stop that kind of raid on the U.S. Treasury when free money is being passed out.
And THAT'S what that is about. Just sayin'.

The whole rotten system continues to amaze me. From one term full retirement, inside trading to the fact that they can regulate health insurance because its interstate commerce that isn't allowed to engage in interstate commerce???????????? It's no wonder you have to be lawyer to go to DC?
It past time for people to push their state legislatures to install some amendments. The feds will never leave the teat, but they can be forced to oblige through amendments started and ratified by state legislatures, while the DC elite looks on.
