Website title:

...is that he is half-Black, which in racist America makes him all-Black. It's his achievement and also the nation's. It hasn't meant anything in terms of political leadership but everything in our image of ourselves: at last enough of us were either able to overlook race or emphasize it is a positive way...as far as quality of leadership....we've had nothing but turkeys and lackeys for decades so what difference does it make that we got one more...but that he is a Black turkey means a great deal and it earns Obama a rightful place in history.

...what' we've been experiencing for the last three or four presidencies is a replay of the Civil War...the battle then and now for State's Rights over centralized, federal government. The South resents the interference of the Federal government into their inbred and backward societies...they resented it when Lincoln went to war to end slavery and they resented it when Johnson called in the National Guard to enforce desegregation....this tax-tea-party-big government bullshit is a continuation of that same battle.

...and almost to stick in their faces even more the nation went and elected a Black man as president...and you KNOW that's what's driving this...this is the reason we have politics over actually governing....tea-party racists see the federal government as the enemy, as they and Bush and the neo-cons saw the Constitution as the enemy.

...give Obama due credit, but no more. He isn't our savior. We are the only ones who can save ourselves and we're not interested...not yet. We desperately need Bachmann or Palin or Perry...any pin-headed racist will do...but not Mr Hopey Changey again...he just delays the inevitable.
