(Ceasar's Head) - This is not the first time that Mr. Obama has said something off the cuff
which has gotten him in trouble. Michelle Malkin, that absolute fox, with a brain larger than a
planet, has a list of gaffes and untruths the current White House resident has made (click here to read).
Whenever he strays from the teleprompter, he invites gaffes. But he doesn't do it because he's
stupid, as he quipped about the Cambridge policeman, he does it because the quip represents his
true feelings. And, yes, it IS Freudian.
Sigmund Freud was wrong about so many things because, instead of observing a large number of
patients, he used his own psychological bent to come to his conclusions. Of course, many of those
conclusions were either completely wrong or foolishly attributed. But like any broken clock, he was
right occasionally. One thing he was right about, and Erik Erikson proved with his research, was
that so called "Freudian slips" or frank slips of the tongue revealed what the unconscious (or subconscious,
if you're more into Jung) accepted as truth.
Does Barack Obama, voted 44th President of These United States, really believe that police, following
strict regulations which were established to fight racism and racial profiling, acted in a racially
offensive way? Does Obama believe that the same officer - who did not hesitate to lock lips with a
sweaty, male, African-American in order to breath the breath of life back into him (turned out to be
Celtics player, Reggie Lewis, but he didn't know it at the time) - this officer was in any way prejudiced
when he strictly followed the law the other day? If you believe Freud and Erikson, yes.
What does this say about our "post-racial" president?
It says he is racist. Very racist. Institutionally racist - as defined by college professors who teach
about systemic institutional racism. And this racism goes as deep as the very psyche of the man
we call Barack Obama. Of course it could be that he is only a little racist, and the professors who define
insitutional racism are selling us all a bill of goods.
Could the fuzzy characters from Avenue Q be right when they sing, "Everyone's a litttle
bit racist, sometimes.." ? But then, again, that would prove all those college courses to be a complete
crock. Who's to say? Have we finally come across the immovable racial paradox? Can you be
racist by not being racist? Or be tolerant by being racist?
Frankly, whether the president is a racist or not, and I do believe him to be a little bit so, his solution
of a beer summit is not a bad idea. I hope he does the same thing with his health plan - just let it go
and give the nation a beer, instead.
We all deserve a beer. I'll take a Thomas Hardy's Decennial Ale, please.
