if you read correctly, you would see that he said that he is not about to say the President is not a liar....
Some folk just love to go out of their way to be negative.
I try to not pay them any mind. Especially when you read them and learn their tactics.
On the question of Obama, he's not only the much, much, much better candidate. But he's likely one of the best Presidents ever.
Granted, historically, the U.S. government has not been our greatest friend. But that's a huge, huge history lesson that has little to do with Obama particularly.
One thing to realize about "Obama Haters" is that they forget that the "First Black Person" is the pathfinder--or foundation, if you will. And they have to, have to, have to play it safe--because the race is on trial with them. For instance, if Obama were like Romney, a habitual liar, always confused, aggressive and angry, and a cheating conman (Imagine that he had a cheat sheet at the debate!!!), no Black person could be President afterward. It will be "Remember the snake Obama--do you want that again?"
Because White people keep notes. No one, for instance, speculated on how long Lehrer was moderating debates--it's well-recorded, each of them, and it's retrievable by all of us.
We don't keep notes like that. So when we see someone we say "Who's he?" or "Did I see you before?" whereas White folk know what color tuxedo they wore for Prom. In a Black Organization in Brooklyn, the Chairman reminds us that the Police Force always carries around clipboards, meanwhile, even for important lectures we never carry any.
The point to be made--some "Obama Haters" complain that Obama isn't Malcolm X. This is just naive. White people killed Malcolm X. What's the goal in comparing Obama to Malcolm X? More Martyrs? Or more Blacks in High Places?
Before Obama's Presidency, Wyclef Jean created a song titled "If I was President . . ." speculating that the first Black President would be assassinated. That was the impression of many in the Black Community before Obama was elected. He was brave to be the first. So few even believed it was possible.
He also managed to be an excellent President, reeling in a Global Economic threat, and he has the gray hair to prove it. He has been an excellent person to precede many other Black Presidents. There's no sense--looking at the broader picture--in critiquing him.
Certainly, his direct commitment to the Black Community has not been prioritized. But we must see the larger picture. He was one of Three Black Senators since reconstruction in the 19th century . . .. There has only been four since Reconstruction . . ..
Obama is a Black President. That should be enough for the Black Community, IMO. 'Cause "First" precedes "Second."
