POPSObama's Great Race to Change America By Victor Davis Hanson
But he has earned almost no bipartisan support for his proposed legislation. After six months in office, he still blames George Bush for much of the country's problems. When Attorney General Eric Holder called Americans "cowards" for not discussing race honestly, when Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor claimed Latina judges would make wiser decisions than white male judges in some cases, and when the president himself said police had "stupidly" arrested his friend Henry Louis Gates, the public saw more of the old tired identity politics. And despite promises of a new ethics in Washington, there are still tax avoiders and revolving-door lobbyists in the Obama administration just like in any other past presidency. Third, there is a vague sense of foreboding about the future and the direction the country is going. The amount of money George Bush proposed the government borrow at the end of his presidency now looks small. "Trillion" has replaced "billion" as the common . . .

POPSHey Henry, How Is It Down There Under The Bus? Clifton B., a conservative blogger, thinks the dust-up is about Professor Gates' sense of class privilege. Obama too seems to revels a wee bit too much in his authoritah. He has made little references to his superior status from time to time." Tommy Davis, a conservative Republican in N.Y.: "Whether you are an educator or a caught criminal, all citizens are supposed to cooperate with standard investigative procedure. Just because you are a published professor --- Mr. Gates --- doesn't mean a cop should 'know you who are.' Don't make your situation out to be racist just because you are subject to the law!" Veronica Foxx, a conservative in D.C., wonders: "If It Had been a Black Police Officer and a White Professor Would Anyone Be Having this Conversation? I believe What the Police Officer Did was HIS JOB. Maybe Obama Should Stick to his Job and Stop Trying to Take Care of Another one of his Budd ! Retire The Race Card Please! Not Saying There Isn't Racism In America . . .
