I just finished watching president Obama make his statement about Iraq and Ferguson, Missouri at the White House. I was struck by the bizarre nature of what he was saying compared to the reality around the country and the world.
Obama ended by listing a series of problems faced by young men of color; he included everything from their being more likely in some place to end up in prison than in a good job to their being suspended from school at higher rates than others across the country. Obama talked about all that needs to be done. But think about that for a moment. Think about it!!!! Where is it that police and African American youths seem to come into confrontation? Where is it that so many young men of color end up in prison? Where is it that there are high rates of school suspensions for African Americans and Hispanics? The answer is not hidden in the mists. These things happen in America's most liberal areas. In big cities like Chicago, there have been Democrat mayors for the last 50 years at least. Philadelphia last had a Republican mayor in the beginning of the 1950s. Baltimore is another Democrat/liberal stronghold. In city after city, the African American community elected mayors and school boards who promised compassion in the liberal mold. Decade after decade of promises were followed by all sorts of government programs that have not worked. Do we really need a new job training program when there are over 100 in existence already that just don't work? When will these people come to realize that the liberal Democrats who promise them the moon actually deliver essentially nothing. After fifty years or more of liberal programs, will these voters finally wake up and understand that the liberal philosophy just does not work? President Obama has been in office for nearly six years. During the first two of those years, Obama got everything he wanted; the Democrats were in total control of Congress. What major program did Obama get enacted to help minority poor folks? Even more important is this question: what major program did Obama propose to help minority poor folks? That is the key. The leader of the Democrats who could have gotten anything he wanted through Congress proposed absolutely nothing. NOTHING!!!!!
It is time for all Americans to realize the bankruptcy of liberalism and the Democrats both. You see, Obama did not just lie about Obamacare and how people could keep their policies and their doctors. Obama lied about caring enough about the poor to try to do something to help them. And that is unforgivable in my book.
