LAWMAKERS KNEW IT

(Jan. 4, 2017) — It seems illogical, irrational, even delusional for the political party champions of civil rights to go for the Hail Mary with a quarterback who had two legs that were broken, but that is exactly what Democrats did, and it makes me shake my head at Rep. Nancy Pelosi even more. It makes me weep for blacks who hoped their civil rights would be made stronger. It is a contradiction of terms to hope for civil rights by a walking, talking violation of political rights.
What Obama could have done if he had been constitutionally qualified! They say every champion has a weakness. My own prison sentence of eight years that began 24 years ago wasn’t exactly what you see people scrabbling to get put on their resume. (Although, in America.. maybe it should be as it produces a lot more understanding!)
I have now seen that regret in Obama’s own words much more clearly than I did before.
[In his final weeks in office, Obama addressed racism, maintaining in a CNN interview that it wasn’t a major component in GOP opposition to his agenda. But, he said, it was a factor for some Americans. “Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign, the other? Are those who champion the ‘birther’ movement feeding off of bias? Absolutely,” he told CNN.]
What I now see in that statement is that the GOP used Obama’s lack of constitutional qualification as the “LEVERAGE” to pin Democrats to the floor rather than risk Democrats recovering from an INELIGIBILITY IMPEACHMENT HEARING, and it sickens me.
I think if you read between the lines of what Obama said, simply because there was absolutely no cyanide Birther pill that made any difference at all with Congress, the courts, or the general public in the Electoral College; what Obama is saying in just a little different wording would be:
It wasn’t Racism that hurt me the most, it was my ineligibility that ham-strung me because the GOP constantly reminded me they could have my head on a spit, so I better do what they said.”
The United States government closed out the 2016 fiscal year that ended a few days ago on Friday September 30th with a debt level of $19,573,444,713,936.79. That’s an increase of $1,422,827,047,452.46 over last year’s fiscal year close.
The AP has run a story today that’s seeing traction entitled, with a clip I’ve highlighted:
“Obama racial legacy: Pride, promise, regret _ and deep rift.”
Read the rest here.
Bob68’s conclusion gets my vote.
I came to the opposite conclusion in 2009.
From the article, what Obama could have said:
“It wasn’t Racism that hurt me the most, it was my ineligibility that ham-strung me because the GOP constantly reminded me they could have my head on a spit, so I better do what they said.”.
It was actually the other way around, this would be more accurate:
Obama saying, “Congress will not stop me, they will never investigate or impeach me because if they do the truth could be revealed and acted on, and they would be charged with treason for allowing my usurpation of America’s presidency. They will remain quiet and protect me to protect themselves”.
And that is exactly what happened. The leverage was with Obama and his puppet-masters and both political parties are guilty of treason for giving America’s government and her military to the enemy. That’s why the Republicans used every excuse in the book to not impeach or investigate Obama. They rubber stamped most everything he wanted and ignored his many blatant violations of the Constitution to keep the charade of legitimacy intact and protect themselves from being held accountable for their part in the Obama fraud.
