A New Way to Look at Opposition to Obama

At the blog Angry White Dude, the Angry White Dude (AWD) poses an interesting way to look at opposition to Obama. His post is titled "If President Obama Was White...", he decries the race card being thrown down and demonstrates the absurdity of it. He says, "If President Obama was white, I’d:"

• Wildly endorse the stimulus bill.


• Love all of Obama's cabinet picks.


• Happily endorse all of the czars.


• Be proud that Obama apologized to all of the Muslims.


• Agree that the police are racist.


• Support the release of Muslim terrorists and agree with the prosecution of CIA officials.


• See the great leadership of a president who said he would curtail the lobbying power of special interests but who engages with them more than anyone else.


• Beam with pride when Obama shook hands with Ortega and Chavez.


• Use taxpayer money to buy GM and hand it over to the unions.


• Killing the missile shield in Eastern Europe without getting any concessions from the Russians.

This post is a good read and I recommend it. If you truly believe the opposition to Obama is based on race, ask yourself if these same people would be happy to see this kind of behavior from a white president. If you can honestly answer "no" to any one of these points, you have proven the case against racism.
