obama

In March 2016, then president Obama met with Raul Castro, not in some neutral host country but at the Cuban "Revolutionary Palace" in Cuba. Yet, no mainstream media criticized Obama as pandering to or legitimizing a "dictator" and long time enemy as the media has to president Trump in his meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin in July 2018. Obama even appeared to try to give Castro a hug which was rebuffed by Castro but was portrayed in the media as Obama letting his arm go limp rather than letting Castro raise his arm in a "victory" stance. Watch the unedited video because the edited one doesn't show the part of Obama moving in for the hug.

As a presidential candidate I'm expected to comment on any significant event, this would include State of the Union speeches. I did watch the 2016 SOTU speech in its entirety. If you'd like to view it you can do so at this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/sotu

I will only highlight some of the comments given by Barack Obama. I will block quote the speech segment and then comment immediately below the segment.

Barack Obama was not elected as America's first post-racial or first black president. Obama is America's first revenge president. He was elected by both black and white Americans in hopes of dishing out payback for America's past of racial inequalities and prejudices. Many who elected Obama wanted him to get back at America. They wanted him to take from those who supposedly had been oppressing them and give it to the oppressed. They wanted him to "redistribute the wealth" and redistribute everything else they think was being withheld from them. To this end, Obama has been working ever since his election in 2008.

THE REAL FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT

Some day America will have its real first black president; or rather its first president that happens to be black. This president will not spend years trying to divide people while using false platitudes of making people "pay their fair share" but rather this real first black president will use his or her time in that honorable yet humbling office to highlight that before any American is any pigment of skin or any hyphenated group, every one of us is part of this one great nation. This first black president will not spend time trying to exact revenge (wink, wink) on certain classes or colors of Americans, but rather will spend time highlighting the fact that America really is the land of opportunity.

Barack Obama gave a speech on Sept 10, 2014 supposedly outlining his strategy against the terrorist group he once called "junior varsity". When a group can garner the attention of the president of America so much so that he makes a prime time speech about them, who would call them "jv"? Only Obama.
