Barack Obama Surprisingly Mute on "Teachable Moment"


interview with Kenneth Gladney


"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", or WTF? comes to mind when contemplating the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. It wasn't that long ago, that the President interjected himself into a small and local police matter, where he admitted that he did not have all the facts, to have a national "teachable moment" about racism when Henry Louis Gates Jr. was taken into custody, without a hair on his head being harmed.
This last week, Kenneth Gladney, a black man was beaten and kicked, apparently by white men, for merely exercising his freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

Kenneth Gladney was selling Gadsden flags, the historic symbol "Don't tread on me", when he was tread upon by union thugs, who assaulted him severely enough to put him in the hospital. They also called him by the "N" word, which would constitute a "hate crime" according to most good liberals, yet, somehow, this did not rise to what President Obama considers a "teachable moment"! Has Obama uttered public word one on Mr. Gladney and the treatment he received? If you are aware of any such pronouncement, please let me know. The silence is deafening.

It seems the difference in whether or not this is a "teachable moment" depends on whether or not you are a friend of the President, or whether the friends of the President are kicking the crap out of you!
