I received a comment on my Townhall blog site concerning my recent comment, Obama, The Most Famous Unknown from a person who called himself, Jack, who stated, and I quote…
“Mr. Brotherton you sure do write a lot of blogs
as well as throw a lot of rocks.
It is one thing to comment
or have an issue with the president
and quite another to berate anything positive
that happens around the White House.”
Jack
Let me begin by stating, Jack, that if the President had done anything positive around the Whitehouse, I would be cheering and trumpeting his success. However, the most successful thing the President has done thus far, is to receive a Nobel Peace prize for something he might do in the future.
Now, I will admit that I am not a Liberal, I am a Conservative and proud of it. However there was a time I fell in line with the 90+% of black Americans who voted for Obama, those whom I believe did so, simply because he was black. Because there was nothing, I mean absolutely, nothing in his past that qualified him to be the President of the United States. However, he could give a good speech and he talked a great much about, what he would do, and how he would change the status quo.
So I ask you Jack, how you like that hope and change now?
Don’t get me wrong Jack, I know he’s just a politician, but at least I’ve always known that. But it was those like you who voted for a man who looked you in the eyes and lied to you constantly, while jumping off stage after a speech and telling his handlers that those like you where “drinking the juice”.
His words not mine Jack.
Jack, those like you believed that a typical politician, whose words flowed like milk and honey, could solve your problems and fix this “arrogant America” and magically, everything would be made right again. But, how right are things now Jack, the world is a more dangerous place now than it has been in 8 years. Obama promised the world would like us again…
But here we are…
· Unemployment is at nearly 10%, but Obama said it would go over 8% if we gave him Trillions of our hard earned dollars to put into the economy.
· Millions of jobs lost everyday, but of course Obama said, there are some being saved.
· Wars overseas, getting worse due to his inactions.
· Iran, whom he said should like us now, is now capable of building a nuclear weapon and Israel forbidden to secure themselves from that threat.
· North Korea, test-firing missile after missile, after detonating a nuclear bomb.
· Every Dictator around the world praising Obama while we leave our Allies to the mercy of those like Russia.
· Prisoners are still in Gitmo. Which is fine by me.
· Gay folks are still, well, gay folks without any more rights than they had before.
· Millions spent by our President to lobby for Chicago, only to find out that it was a waste of time. But millions have still come out of our pocket.
· Millions spent on companies to keep them from going out of business, and yet they still go out of business.
· The same surveillance policies enacted during the previous administration and protested by Obama before being elected to office, have been reinstated, under his administration. So was Bush right?
Do you want me to go on Jack?
This President lied to you and me, not to mention the rest of America. But there were those like me who looked into his eyes and had a clear picture of the man standing before us. Then there were those like you who, when you looked at the man, couldn’t get past the color of his skin and smoothness and elegance of his speech to see that he was nothing more than a man, whose self-serving agenda, wasn’t meant to help you or me, but him and him alone. A dreadful trait for a leader.
Jack, you also said, and I quote…
“You said your black man
in one of your previous blogs.
I also am a black man.
I know what kind man I am.
Do you?”
Jack
Jack, when you make such comments, you make the case for me and why those like me need to stand up and be heard, because you voted the way you voted, simply because the man was black. It had nothing to do with what he had done in the past.
And in answer to your question, as to knowing what kind of man I am…
An American Jack, who happens to be black.
