Obama’s “mongrel” statement: A manifestation of strategy and indifference |
|
In the last few weeks much discussion regarding a unique matter involving race has surfaced within the African-American community. Such is the case, as President Barack Obama’s appearance on the daytime talk show, “The View”, in which he classified African Americans as a “mongrel people” has provoked feelings of displeasure among some members of the group.
Obama’s characterization of Americans of African descent as “mongrels”, germinated in response to a question spawning from the show’s executive producer and co-host Barbara Walters, in which the Head of State was asked to expound upon an issue regarding his ethnicity.
The President’s use of the term “mongrel” in describing African Americans, registers as a technically adequate expression, as it defines an individual in possession of genetic matter from more than one racial group. However, the word “mongrel” – historically used by white supremacists opposed to miscegenation – functions, more commonly, as an expression employed by dog handlers in classifying a specific species of canine. Consequently, such peculiar phrasing on the part of the President has resonated among many within some African-American quarters as a great affront.

THE LESSON OF DR. LAURA – IMPEACH OBAMA? |
|
By Frances Rice
Since
zero tolerance for those who hurt blacks is the lesson learned from the
Dr. Laura Schlessinger N-word controversy, then the question becomes
should President Barack Obama be impeached for the massive hurt he
inflicted on black Americans with his corrupt failed socialism?
There
is abundant evidence that Obama has repeatedly violated the
“Schlessinger Standard” that justifies driving from the public square
all who harm blacks.
In
his book “Dreams from My Father”, Obama describes what he and other
Democrats do to poor blacks as “plantation politics” – a strategy that
condemns blacks to dependency on government handouts and generational
poverty. Obama and the Democrats have built their power base on the
backs of poor blacks and want to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for
Democrats.

Dems may use food stamp money to pay for Michelle Obama's nutrition initiative |
|
Democrats who reluctantly slashed a food stamp program to fund a state aid bill may have to do so again to pay for a top priority of first lady Michelle Obama.
The House will soon consider an $8 billion child nutrition bill that’s at the center of the first lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative. Before leaving for the summer recess, the Senate passed a smaller version of the legislation that is paid for by trimming the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.The proposed cuts would come on top of a 13.6 percent food stamp reduction in the $26 billion Medicaid and education state funding bill that President Obama signed this week.d stamps have made multiple appearances on the fiscal chopping block because Democrats have few other places to turn to offset the cost of legislation.

US breast cancer drug decision 'marks start of death panels' |
|
America's health watchdog is considering revoking its approval of the drug Avastin for use on women with advanced breast cancer, leading to accusations that it will mark the start of 'death panel' drug rationing.
A decision to rescind endorsement of the drug would reignite the highly charged debate over US health care reform and how much the state should spend on new and expensive treatments.

Chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Christina Romer is retiring during one of the worst economic downturns our country has experienced. (Gerald Herbert/AP file)
It's no coincidence that Christina Romer, chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, announced her retirement the day before Friday's brutal unemployment report. With 131,000 more jobs lost in July, and downward revisions of 97,000 for the previous two months, it's easy to see why she would start looking for the exits.
