What Barack Obama is according to Thomas Sowell
A couple days ago, Thomas Sewell published an article on his Townhall.com blog about Barack Obama. Let me give you a heads up; it’s not one of those typical glowing article.
To give you a little background on Thomas Sowell, he is a prolific conservative writer whose books have focused on the economic, political, and often social aspects of our country. Oh, and since race doesn’t matter in this coming election, I won’t mention to you that he is black.
Now that you have some background, in the article Sowell basically criticizes Obama for being the stereotypical, two-faced candidate and not rising above party politics like he claims.
The irony is that Obama’s sudden rise politically to the level of being the leading contender for his party’s presidential nomination has required him to project an entirely different persona, that of a post-racial leader who can heal divisiveness and bring us all together.
The ease with which he has accomplished this chameleon-like change, and entranced both white and black Democrats, is a tribute to the man’s talent and a warning about his reliability.
There is no evidence that Obama ever sought to educate himself on the views of people on the other end of the political spectrum, much less reach out to them. He reached out from the left to the far left. That’s bringing us all together?
Is “divisiveness” defined as disagreeing with the agenda of the left? Who on the left was ever called divisive by Obama before that became politically necessary in order to respond to revelations about Jeremiah Wright?
Well, it seems that Obama might actually want chance after all, but its not the change you may think he is preaching. I think Obama is sick and tired of all this “moderate government” crap and wants to establish far left rule.
