When faced with a sword at his neck, he's got an amazing ability to deftly take the sword out of his opponents' hands and run them through with it.
Game. Set. Obama
I don't think it was in any way a racial comment," Obama told ABC News. "That's something that has played out in the press. That's not my view."
Translation: It was hella racial, but I'm not taking the bait. Let Hillary continue show her ass. I'm not showing mine.
Translation: Obama isn't acting quite like the nigger we need him to be. Darn it!!
Not even that serious.
What he's not doing is showing that he has the ability to tackle a problem, rather than just talking his way through or out of it. I'm almost convinced that if 9/11 had happened on Obama's watch, we'd still be "negotiating" with the Taliban.
It's not about him being "acting black," "being a nigger," or anything like that.
What it's about is that sometimes a president has to put his foot down and say that the talking's over; if you want to come at me, I'm going to come right back at you.
So in this instance, Obama is doing exactly what it is he needs to do. He's demonstrating that an all-out throw-down over every racial comment that's made to or about him, is not only counter-productive, but that won't be so easily distracted by it ... which is probably the criticsm you'd be leveling had he responded in the fashion you desire.
