Okay - let me get this straight:
- Obama has been in office less than three weeks and right-wing blogger Malkin declares his presidency a disaster; Newt Gingrinch pronounces him Jimmy Carter the second
- Ex-Vice President Cheney implies that Obama is deliberately and ignorantly discarding Bush Administration measures and policies, which will result in increased danger to the U.S.
- Former Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card declares that Obama's changed dress code for the Oval Office (shirtsleeves okay) shows a lack of respect for the dignity of the office
All of these criticisms are completely unprecedented in their scope, source and tone from any previously lodged against brand new Presidents in the past. All past Presidents have been white - Obama is black. Therefore, such criticisms must originate in the racism of the critics, i.e., these Republicans.
Okay - this may be a stretch. But think about it - Malkin is understandable because she is always filled with vitriol against Democrats of any hue. But Gingrinch and Card are mainstream - what is it about Obama that gives them license to spout off as they have? I wonder . . .
