    The only thing obama is good at is race hustling and pushing racial division.



    Glenn Beck returned from vacation on Monday ready to analyze the contentious aftermath of the George Zimmerman verdict, particularly President Obama’s unscheduled speech on race relations.

    He began by noting that the president almost never speaks without a teleprompter, and on the odd occasion the trusty device has failed, the president almost always begins to have difficulty speaking or simply refuses to continue until it is fixed.

    But during his speech on Friday, Beck said, the president spoke without the aid of the electronic device.

    “Why does this matter?” Beck asked. “Well out of all of the issues you would want the president of the United States to be fluent in — economics, jobs, foreign policy, individual liberty, the Constitution, anything — this president cannot speak off the cuff without a teleprompter or notes in front of him.”

    He continued: “But when it comes to the police ‘acting stupidly,’ or anything to do with identity politics, this man is ready to roll for hours. It’s his lifelong passion. The man who was supposed to unite the United States of America is an expert on the most divisive form of politics in existence today, that pits people against other people, placing people in little boxes and then convincing people that you’re only in that box because of those people over there.”


    Beck proceeded to ask why the president, and people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, are so outraged by the Trayvon Martin case but comparatively silent on “the dropout factories that are inner city schools” or the failure of massive government programs “that have left citizens begging politicians for just a few more crumbs.”

    Beck reflected: “I’m sorry but I’ve never seen a leader behave this way, ever. Leaders do not blame people. Leaders do not lie for their own personal gain – crooks do. Leaders tell you the truth, the hard truth, and then just when you think you’re at your lowest, a leader doesn’t lean down to you and say ‘You know what? You’ll never, ever make it without me.’ They never do that. They inspire you to reach higher than you ever thought you could. That’s what a leader does.”

    Taking a different approach, Beck asked: “Did any good parent that you know of ever encourage you to focus on the past? …To take from others because you didn’t get your ‘fair share’?”

    Beck, had a cogent point to make when he observed that "...the most divisive form of politics in existence today... pits people against other people, placing people in little boxes and then convincing people that you’re only in that box because of those people over there.”

    Sadly, he has turned off half his potential audience by reliance on ad hominem attacks and not infrequent arguments that are too obviously flawed.

    His methods don't differ much from those of Sharpton and Jackson, though their theses are starkly different.

    Beck's envious, his show doesn't have the budget for a teleprompter. So he's stuck using 3x5 cards.

    Ya, I noticed that. Obama struck me as quite lucid during his race relations speech.

    They should blindfold Obama then ask him to make a speech and see what he says.

    Mz. Obama wrote her PhD thesis on racism, Mr. Obama was a community organizer in Chicago, that's a marxist stirring up Black people essentially... It's all they know. F$%^ing attorneys can't fix a car, can't do math, I knew one that couldn't plant trees in a straight line! Seriously, the guy was a Muni Judge and he could not plant trees in a straight line, his wife had to take over for him...
