NYT: "Obama isn’t closing racial divide..."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25696726/

:wtf:

Why is the media portraying the racial divide as a failure on Obama's part? How ridiculous and unfair is that??

Why the hell aren't they addressing the real issues of racism and prejudice that have NOTHING to do with Obama's actions, and EVERYTHING to do with THEM!!!

This is a simple and more benign example of the problem: That the MSM is actively perverting every story, no matter how incidental, into morally corrupt propaganda for their own purposes. It is disgusting and heartbreaking. :cry:

2. He'd have to eat a baby on live television to lose the support of most black people
On the flip side, if he personally punched Osama bin Laden in the nose, he still wouldn't have the support of some whites.

That's just how it is, and as far as the white opinion goes, it has as much to do with the D behind his name as the color of his skin.

And why is McLame doing so badly with the blacks, hmm? Looks like he's got a racial divide of his own.

3. John McCainGets A Free Pass On Race Issues - And Everything Else
The MSM is now going to fault Obama for the continued existence of racism? This is why its going to be an uphill battle. Because the MSM continues to publish these incredibly stupid takes.

4. Is this the same New York Times that lied us into war with Iraq?
For some reason, the names "Judith Miller" and "Ahmad Chalabi" come to mind...

12. The media is using every possible anti Obama story they can think of
Stories like this are what's really pissing me off, and exactly why I've been saying for over a year that democrats (and especially some DUers) are getting way too arrogant and overconfident that the White House is a 100% lock for us no matter what this year. The media has been slandering the democrats nonstop while giving republicans free passes on just about everything, so is it any wonder that Obama's poll numbers are dropping lately? I mean it's like running a bunch of stories about how George Washington was such a horrible person for being racist, owning slaves, and stabbing the British monarchy in the backs, and then saying "gee why is everyone's opinion of George Washington dropping all of a sudden, it couldn't possibly be all of those negative stories we're airing about him, it must be Washington's fault!".

13. Obama "only" getting 60% of the white vote: proves he doesn't connect to white people
McCain getting less than 5% of the black vote: proof that black people don't like white people.
