Barack Obama has denied his race is a factor in the bitter debate over his health care proposals in a series of television interviews.
"The overwhelming part of the American population" is much more concerned with how the health care reform proposals will affect them, Obama stressed, according to an excerpt of another interview released by ABC News. The "biggest driver" for the more intense opposition to his administration's proposals, Obama told the network's "This Week" program, is more likely to be from people who are "passionate about the idea of whether government can do anything right."
Why We're Talking About Race -- Again
By Star Parker
(September 21, 2009)
The current charade to paint ideological differences with our president as racially motivated dangerously pours gasoline on the burning embers of our differences. . . . But this is what Democrats want. They have lost the health-care debate on substance, so they want to make it emotional. They want to intimidate. And nothing intimidates and polarizes like race. . . . Cong. Jim Clyburn, third ranking House Democrat, and black caucus member . . . pulled no punches that our Constitution, which is the basis of his authority, is irrelevant to him. That it's all about political thuggery. Which is why we're now talking about race instead of health care.
American Reader says:
The latest Media drum-beat is that people wouldn’t be speaking out in opposition to Democrat healthcare reform plans if Barak Obama were white.
This is an intimidation tactic right out of the identity politics playbook.
President Obama has stated his belief that the healthcare reform debate turns upon ideology, and not upon identity (i.e., race).
Yet the media will not accept Barak Obama's statements when he steps to the music that he hears.They disrespect our President.
Even as the President speaks,
the media propagandists shout: "You lie!"
