Obama looses control part 3

Did the Attorney General of the United States call America a "nation of cowards?"

In the White House press briefing from earlier today, linked to in my previous post, just after the 26 minute mark, a reporter asked a question where he quoted our Attorney General.... let's say "Obama's Attorney General", as saying "on things racial, we are essentially a nation of cowards". Evidently this unbelievable comment was made several days ago.

Where is the outrage? Where is the story?? Why hasn't such an absurd comment been given air by the media. Unless of course, their job is to filter the news, and cover up loose cannons for the administration.

This guy is not a spokesperson for the president of Cuba, or Iran, or Venezuela. If he made such a hateful public statement about the country he is supposed to be Attorney General of, if his opinion of the people who pay his salary is so low that we are so despicable to him as to be cowards, then he should resign immediately.

Here is the exact quote: "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

Where has this person been the last 45 years?? This is hate speech straight out of Jeremiah Wright's book of sermons. Probably what he really means is that he wants a different outcome in the race debate that American's have had, and that we continue to have. There are signs of bigotry in his statements, and someone who calls Americans cowards is probably very close to leveling that charge at one group of people above (or below) all others. Maybe there is one group that perhaps he feels haven't participated in the race debate to the extent that he thinks they should have. Because he's been waiting for some sort of apology. Some sort of "truth and reconcilliation".

I wonder if that commentary is frank enough for the AG.

Obama needs to tighten up this administration. The loose cannon quotient is off the scale just 1 month into his term. But the AG calling out his own country as a "country of cowards" is inexcusable. It doesn't matter what spin you come up with Mr. Obama, but Eric Holder must go. He is no longer qualified to hold any cabinet position for any American President.

Once again, Obama's top people and allies are completely out of control. Day by day, we see an underlying hatred for the rank and file people of the Untied States, and for the free market capitalist system, from Obama's top allies and cabinet members. Chris Dodd, Rahm Emanuel, and now AG Eric Holder, show us that with leaders like these, who needs enemies.
