Eastley should stick to radio, where the format is determined by producers, instead of trying his hand at blogging. According to ABC journalist Tony Eastley, critics of Obama are just racist.
The euphoria which existed in the United States when the bright, young, eloquent former lawyer, Barack Obama from Chicago was elected was remarkable; but it was by no means unanimous…
Wink, wink, everyone else is racist for opposing such a ‘bright, young, eleoquent’ person. And who are the critics: ‘hardline conservatives, zealots and oddballs.’ So given that Obama’s approval rating is currently at 48 per cent, the other 52 per cent that oppose him must be a bunch of ‘hardline conservatives, zealots and oddballs.’ Talk about impugning a nation.
…Widely read American columnist Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times that she was now convinced that some of her fellow Americans could not accept that their leader was a black man. Maureen Dowd’s comments could be set aside if it weren’t for the thoughts of a well-regarded US statesman and former US President, Jimmy Carter.
They certainly were not sought by the White House.
Well-regarded only be the loopy left. Carter’s comments were rejected by the White House, which accepts that just because someone disagrees with the administration does not make them a racist; something lost on Eastley. It also begs the question why tax-payers are having to pay for this overtly left-wing blog?
