Administration Of Constant Embarrassment

holder-obama1The Obama administration can’t seem to stop scolding or apologizing his appointees for one mishap after another.
President Obama has chided his attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., for describing America as a “nation of cowards” when discussing race, wading into a tumult that flared over Mr. Holder’s indictment of the way this country talks about ethnicity. In an interview with The New York Times on Friday, the president said that despite Mr. Holder’s choice of words, he had a point.

In other words, it was a misunderstanding he inherited.

“We’re often times uncomfortable with talking about race until there’s some sort of racial flare-up or conflict,” he said, adding, “We could probably be more constructive in facing up to sort of the painful legacy of slavery and Jim Crow and discrimination.”

Just words.

This was supposed to be an administration of “change”. There was supposed to be transparency, compassion, that unlimited progressive wisdom we always hear about, but alas, these are attributes the American people have yet to see materialize.

Be it the almost daily gaffes by the vice president, an official vetting process that resembles Swiss cheese, snubs of foreign heads of state, foreign translations by the spelling-challenged, juvenile behavior in The White House, and a clueless approach to our economic evaporation, this Obama administration is a pending trainwreck we can believe in.

Now, IF the president really wants to have that race discussion, he should start it with his own party.

However, once he finds out the truth behind the “painful legacy of slavery and Jim Crow and discrimination” and the Democrat Party’s culpability with that legacy, this is yet one more promise that will go unfulfilled.
