Then in the 7th paragraph he finally gets to his first piece of concrete evidence- the whole Louis Gates/Cambridge police thing. Remember that? Barely? Oh yeah, gigantic issue that really turned the country on it's ear and will be a huge campaign issue. Oh wait...
Then we have this gem:
Quote:
Sen. Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) has said the president told him in a closed-door meeting that he would not move to secure the border with Mexico unless and until Congress reached a breakthrough on comprehensive immigration reform. That's another indication Mr. Obama is willing to continue to play politics with hot-button issues.
ZOMG WTF BBQ. How dare the president play politics on hot button issues. What a big meanie. We all know republicans have never, and would never, do anything of the sort. Oh wait...
And then:
Quote:
As the Washington Post reported last week, two top White House strategists, speaking on condition of anonymity, have indicated that "the White House plans to use the immigration debate to punish the GOP and aggressively seek the Latino vote in 2012."
Holy hell. Does this man have no shame??? Pure scandal. How has the MSM ignored this horrible cynical ploy to use immigration as an issue with Latino voters. What a scumbag.
And then the coup de gras - the hot button issue on everyone's mind:
Quote:
On an issue that has gotten much less attention, but is potentially just as divisive, the Justice Department has pointedly refused to prosecute three members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation at the polls on Election Day 2008.
wat
Then we have some random chick not connected to the administration rambling about racism, then some point about black unemployment being high, then some whining about Obama calling out insurance companies and Wall. St. Heaven forbid, a democrat call out corporate excess. What is this world coming to?
And finally 3 more paragraphs of rambling assertions.
Utterly worthless article. Shocking the WSJ would come out with a puff piece against Obama. Seriously shocking. Someone should let Rupert know about this so he can tighten up the ship over there.
