Pouring More Gasoline

Now is a time when the President of the United States should be doing all that he can to lower racial tensions. Instead, Barack Hussein Obama uses incendiary rhetoric that further ignites passion. Obama told the Black Entertainment Television audience that racism "is deeply rooted in our society". Yes, we Americans are so racist that we elected a black to the highest office in the land- twice. When declarations by leadership aimed at cooling anger are most necessary, Obama does the opposite. Obama's babbling justifies the rage instead of tamping it down. Obama could have done so much to bring the races together, but in the event, divides the US between black and white.
