In a recent article it was noted that a survey of Republicans 64% felt Obama was a racist who hated white people.
The survey, while conducted by a liberal front group and reported by a liberal hack does raise an interesting issue.
While you cannot judge a persons most private thoughts, you sure as hell can and should judge their actions.
President Obama spent 20 years under what he once called “mentorship” by an avowed racist minister, Pastor Wright, who several times honored Louis Farrakhan, who often wrote about an evil scientist who created the white race in a lab. While Obama at first reluctantly distanced himself from “his mentor”, after more and more light was shown on Wright, Obama aggressively threw his mentor under the bus.
Were this a conservative under the 20 year mentorship of a David Duke, racism would be assumed by all, left and right, making him unelectable.
I personally do not believe President Obama to be a racist.
I would like to introduce a new word to our lexicon, RESENTIST.
I believe our President has shown by his actions that he resents successful white men of European backgrounds and the foundations they stand on, namely capitalism and constitutionalism.
Over and over Obama has shown respect, even humility to the Muslims, Africans, Non-European Communist and has shown arrogance towards the leaders of white European nations. The stories are too many to list here, but a quick LexisNexis search will show any seeker that his arrogance has offended France, Italy, England, Germany and The Netherlands as evidenced by front page news in their countries. Yesterday French President Sarkozy landed on the front page of a major European publication, stating Obama insulted him and France, refusing a personal interaction and generally disrespecting the entire European Union, being the 1st president in recent history to “snub” an invitation to attend the US – EU summit.
I’m not saying he resents everybody, The communist and Muslims get regular flowers and candy for every occasion, and the illegal’s, unions and federal workers can always expect a personal Christmas card.
Racist, no. Resentist?

Here we go again now comparing the President as a racist because of his former Pastor’s comment. Some white ministers used to talk about God and hating blacks, that is why some of you whites still have hatred in your heart because it is deep rooted. This man was brought up in a white household, his grandparents are white hello. I for one depends on God not man. How can you hate your brother who you see and love God who you have not seen. Rich white men spread these untruths to keep the poor white and black separated so they can continue to get rich. Who is the most on welfare and foodstamps whites check your facts. And you yourself is racist examine yourself and actions then talk about me.
For all you Obama lover’s who still believe his birth certificate is real watch this video of his wife talking about his home country. My wife knows where I was born does yours? I would think after 20 years of marriage your spouse would.
Lets take a look and then send this link to everyone in your address book including all the people who have believed the lie’s. It’s hard to believe someone when you find out they lied to you, so send this to everyone.

If you still think we are not being lied to your beyond help.
Like I’ve stated before, “let’s not look for the negative in all you see”! She is clearly showing homage to his Keyan family, just like he calls Chicago home, when he was clearly born in Hawaii! How many times is he going to have to prove his birthplace? We can move forward because we tend to hold on to old baggage! Let’s all move on from this issue and let the dead horse lie! We are all brothers of one nation so I share much love with you! I pray that you find purpose in what ever you do! God bless you and yours and thanks for agreeing to disagree!
You say he is not a racist or a resentist, because of his beloved Grandmother, Uncle, and Mother who where all white. You are probably right,……Oh but your NOT !!!! Did you forget about the 20 years he spent in Jeremiah Wright’s Church… Oh forgot about that, and it was so nice that the media never really talked about that until he had to publicly denounce Wright. That was the politically correct thing to do.
Or how about opening up his college transcripts, opps can’t do that either that might show he was receiving foreign aid that non U.S. Citizens receive when in school, same as student aid for us US citizens. What about spending more than 5 million dollars to keep his birth certificate sealed. I don’t even have to say it was fake, the fact that he was trying to hide it means there was either a cover up or there was something to hide.
Obama guess what, every person joining the military has to show there birth certificate why wouldn’t you have to, to be the President? Arrogance’s, that’s all it is. It’s sad when the President would never pass the security screening required to be a secrete service agent who have to protect him.
And for anyone who thinks its all made up, I challenge you to go to you tube and search for Michelle talking about her husband from Kenya. IN HER OWN WORDS. Believe what you want, but if you think the gov. hasn’t covered up bigger things your living in a dream. What do you think the powers that be would rather have, a world wide embarrassment of a man not eligible to be president or allowing it and keeping it quiet? humm let me think about that for a min…..
But if your a Kool-Aid drinker you better not look at the video it might not sit well with you.
Racist, really! It’s 2012 and we are still on this? For this to be the United States of America, we are as divided as ever! We need to wake up and realize no one is any different than the next person, we all have the same opportunities as the next person, it just depends on your work ethic! Let’s move on from this race thing! It’s only a problem because we make it a problem! I love all people no matter what walk of life you’re from! God made us in his image, so neither one of us should be ashamed or look down on anyone due to their ethinic origin! I’m begging and pleading with you all we need to come together as one nation and get alone in peace and harmony! I’m praying for you all!
…. why would he be racist -_-?
I, as a current Junior at a public school, feel that Barack Obama is neither a racist nor a resentist. I feel that anyone can do the things he has done and not call themselves racist or know indeed that they are not racist or resentist. This man is indeed doing a great job at what he is doing. Instead of trying to tear him down and eradicate him you should try to follow up on all his actions to see what’s really being said and done. I feel that we as ONE nation should build up what we have but how can we accomplish that when our own PEOPLE are throwing in one affliction after the other. But again you want to say his a resentist. Obama is doing the things that could put us back on top.
A Junior? Well you are very well spoken. Your thoughts are well translated from your heart. A positive and unassuming thinker.
Let me adopt that mind set, and add in facts. Let’s for the sake of your approbation just address even one or two issues that may add another candle and allow us to see more, for good or bad.
President Obama promised what he called transparency. We The People, Americans, could see how and what he was doing in all areas of public discourse, and get rid of Bush’s “Patriot Act”, which allowed government unwarranted entry into private citizens papers, homes and communications.
He kept all aspects of the patriot act, he lobbied to increase secret police powers to enter (physically) private homes to set key recorder devices on computers and phones, with absolutely no judge or warrant, or notice to anybody. He hired what he called Czars to get around the Constitutional rules of having Congress check and approve cabniet members. He turned over health care and tax reform to democrat controlled congress to work out in secret, and then called for votes before anybody could read what they were signing, even admitting as much when corned on the issue. He pits people against each other to gain votes and power from special interest groups. He denounces the rich as uncaring, while own brother suffers in a mud hut on $1.00 a day, and his beloved aunt lives illeaglly in a ghetto housing unit, while he is a multi-millionaire.
That’s just his first few months in office. Show me his good heart, and his hope in change.
Obama is NOT A RACIST. This political sh** has gotten me all stirred up! I just want someone to win and get it over with! jeezus!
George
I simply asked if your comment applied to Bush as well. From your reply I see that it only applies to Obama.
J Byron
You are right. Back to topic. The irony is the accolades he received as candidate Obama when he toured Europe to bolster his international credentials. If I remember correctly there was big talk about his re-energizing our image internationally. Sarkosky is miffed publically, more than usual for a Frenchman. England was left out to dry. I don’t think it’s a resentment based on race. I think as you stated it’s a Narcicistic tendency that hasn’t surfaced in his character as much until lately. I could be wrong, but in relation to Wright I think Obama was just paying lip service to religion as opposed to actually listening to what the good reverend had to say. It’s fair to point out that since taking office the President hasn’t gone to mass or selected a church. I would think that a religious man would have that on his to-do list.
Et al,
Sadly the point of the article went into left field quickly by friend and foe.
The whole point was that our President may have internal resentment against “white anglo establishment”, as evidenced by the recent EU snub and countless disrespects toward EU countries, all the while grovelling and self depreciation to non-anglo nations and leaders.
It’s a poser to me if he’s not.
True leadership would have been to define the debate and not give the Speaker/Majority Leader free reign. What the American people wanted was for President Obama to step up and really define exactly what it was he was after, rather than trying to keep selling a bill of goods when absolutely NOBODY knew what was in the package.
When I go to an estate sale, there are often sealed boxes for sale. You have no idea what’s in them, and more often than not it’s nothing but a bunch of junk. I am no more willing to buy into the whole heathcare scenario (sealed box and no one is exactly sure what it contains) than I would buy one of those boxes at an estate sale.
Consti,
Again, trees for the forest- no wonder why you are so lost…Delusional….
W had his shot, for 8 whole years, and he failed miserably in the eyes of most Americans. He had 6 years with a GOP Congress and ended his term with a 14% approval rating. We looked back through the rearview mirror and made our judgement.
Youe comment about health care doesn’t even make any sense. Unless he could pass it all by himself and didn’t, or did not even bring the issue up or try, you might have a point. But neither of those were the case, so how is that a campaign promise broken? Any excuse to knock the man from you, which is EXACTLY what I was talking about.
George
“Let’s let the ones we’ve got in office do what we asked them to do first and stop riding up their backsides for trying to do what we told them we wanted them to do by electing them. Maybe then those with real vision and principles may see that they actually may get somewhere for caring and trying…”
Let me ask you a simple question then… did that apply to George Bush as well? Or just Obama?
“Unless I’m mistaken, healthe care reform, which has been a major priority for him this year, was a major policy plank in his election campaign.”
Something which he promised 8 TIMES to fully televise debate over yet only let CSPAN run 1 HOUR of the reconciliation of the bills. I would say that’s a campaign promise broken. And that’s just ONE example.
J Byron,
I think you hit the nail on the head. Narcissist for running off to pick up his Nobel then running off again to loose the Olympics bid. If he had any real character he would have refused the Nobel sine he was nominated BEFORE being elected. And he really deserves it doesn’t he since he is spending on Nuclear weapons now.
I did address your comments.
What “conspiracy theory” are you referring to? I don’t recall mentioning one.
Eric,
Your comments don’t even really address anything I said, especially given that they were written in context to J’s comments.
Unless I’m mistaken, healthe care reform, which has been a major priority for him this year, was a major policy plank in his election campaign. If it weren’t for the Party of NO and the misuse of the Tea Party by health insurance company lobbyists, he would have achieved that. It was not due to lack of effort on his part. That’s just one area from his campaign policy. Since when is a guy who hasn’t managed to do everything he promised in his campaign in the FIRST YEAR after 8 years of a opposing party administration while fighting two wars and a major recession judged as some kind of liar or failure?
You are suffereing from unrealistic expectations and I’m not even going to give the rest of your conspiracy theory airtime. Since all politicians are nothing more than puppets, we should not even bother to elect anyone and just hand everything over to the shadow interests that really control everything…LOL Why are you, or any of us, even bothering? LOL Why criticize Obama? He’s only a puppet- you don’t shoot the messenger…LOL
George,
Are you implying that Obama is not human?
The point is that Obama is not doing anything that he promised and/or for what he was elected to do. Don’t you get it? He is the most recent of a long line of puppet presidents who has a previously-established agenda that is being carried out at the public’s expense, literally and figuratively.
Anyone who runs for President understands that all of the mud-slinging comes with the territory. However, with Obama, it isn’t necessary to make anything up or even exaggerate it. The media can only take so many bullets for him.
J,
You have to be a bit self-serving, narcissistic or a zealot to deal with all the bashing and backstabbing that goes on in politics today. It is not for the gentle, the true altruist or one without ego. If we want “nice guys or gals” in office, then people like Consti, Rush, FoxNews and company, and Olbermann need to get off their asses and give them some room along with some benefit of the doubt without condemning them for trying to make things better. A person can only put up with being attacked but so much before they say “Screw this” to themselves. Look how many people only look out for themselves with far less provocation from even just the ones on here.
Our insistance on digging for dirt, real or manufactured, keeps decent people out of office, or good people who have flaws like the rest of us. We get the politicians we ask for. Look at Colin Powell and those like him- true public servants. They wouldn’t touch Congressional office or the presidency with a ten foot pole and I can’t say as I blame them. Why should they if it’s “damned if they do” try to do something and “damned if they don’t?” If no matter what you do, how hard you try and how good your intentions and motivations are, you are guaranteed to have someone screaming at you, calling you names and treating you like dirt, despite the many sacrifices you make. These people we have asked to serve in office are penalized for caring as much as they would be if they didn’t. For teying to work for the interests of others as they would be for lining their own pockets. Heck, it’s assumed that they are lining their pockets whether they are or not. And ironically, the people who scream loudest and ugliest are people who have never stepped up to the responsibility of public office in their lives.
You couldn’t pay me enough to run for public office and any decent person with eyes wide open and an iota of common sense- the very kind that need to be in office- wouldn’t either. Again, we get the kind of politicians we ask for. We vote for the ones who tell us what we want to hear, look like what we want them to look like or share the same opinion as us on one or maybe two issues. As a whole we don’t dig any deeper but pillory the ones that let us see deeper. At this point in time we don’t DESERVE any better because we aren’t ready for a real human being to serve in office and wouldn’t elect them even if they came along. And since no more than 60-65% of us vote anyway at the best of times, who are we as a people to talk anyway. Local elections and runoffs get MAYBE HALF of that in turnout. But you can find a lot more than 65% who have an opinion on what the pres or any other politician SHOULD be doing…and what they are doing wrong or how horrible a person they are.
Let’s let the ones we’ve got in office do what we asked them to do first and stop riding up their backsides for trying to do what we told them we wanted them to do by electing them. Maybe then those with real vision and principles may see that they actually may get somewhere for caring and trying…
D.
Interesting you know how much he loves the white side of his fam.
Because he let his black brother rot for years on a dollar a day in a mud hut well after he’d been a long time millionaire, and his poor aunt living in the projects in abject poverty.
Hell, I help my fam and I’m not a millionaire.
Your right, maybe it’s not that he has resentment against white establishment, maybe he’s just a self serving narcicist.
So you’re saying that since he is a millionaire he should take care of everyone in his family? Many people go broke trying to care for themselves and others, it’s not his responsibility to take care of his entire bloodline, that’s like you striking rich and taking care of everyone in your family, I guess next people are going to say that he needs to take care of his best of friends! Mc Hammer tried taking care of his entire family and you see where that got him! Obama takes flack for every little thing, now for putting his family first and not trying to spoon feed his family members on the often failed “if I got it you got it” street policy! We elected him as a nation so we should back him no matter what! This is the United States of America, in which we are as divided as any other country, we need to come together and stop trying to find any little thing to belittle the United State President! If you pay attention and do your own research and stop listening to these news stations and bias news papers you see that he has done well as president considering what he was handed over! He guided a stimulus package that prevented the US from Great Depression number 2! He extended benefits to all of those unemployed Americans, he passed a health care reform that has already helped millions, he has reversed the dont ask don’t tell policy of the military! Not to mention he ridded the world of the two most wanted terrorist, and ended a unneeded war! So I think he’s done an awesome job! Stop looking for fault and pay attention to the positive things!
“Resentist”
Is it that you resent the fact that he is the POTUS?
.-= dfunzy´s last blog ..Joker of the tea Party =-.
Obama racist? That it a silly notion. His mother. His beloved grandmother. His favorite uncle. The people who raised him.
His accusers should look into their own eyes and judge their own hearts.
Wow! Is that the daily Outrage?
I like that word – “Resentist”
