NO. Clever strategy??? Are you crazy? That’s an insult to both Obama and the black community. In case you missed it I’m BLACK and your thread is highly offensive to me and most other African-Americans. Obama distances himself from those with radical ideas or harsh, inappropriate words, he doesn’t distance himself from BLACK people. Note that in your above posts, he is critical of black fathers who aren’t responsible. He would be critical of men of ANY race who didn’t live up to their responsibilities. Obama would never distance himself from someone because they happen to be black. Do you actually think he’s RACIST against his own people??
