Is Obama’s Campaign Manager Racist?
![]()
We have reached a point in this Country that any criticism of the President is considered fueled by hate and the person doing the criticizing must be a racist and/or bigot. I mean what else can be the reason of being critical of the President who in the eyes of the media and his Democrat minions can do and has done no wrong.
Case in point is the term “Obamacare”, used to describe President Obama’s signature initiative to reform Healthcare in this Country, hence the term OBAMACARE. Much like the Bush Doctrine or even Romneycare, it is simply a way to associate the author to the corresponding initiative.
However, the use of the term Obamacare has been met with not only rabid resistance but with outlandish claims that the term is racist, and those that use it must hate the President,and hate him because he is Black. I didn’t make the last sentence up, These people did:
Florida Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently said using the word “Obamacare” on the House floor was a violation of House rules because it is “disparaging” of the president.
ABC News’s White House Correspondent Jake Tapper told The Daily Caller he chose not to use “Obamacare” because it had a sort of negative connotation attached to it. “I generally try to avoid using terms that are considered pejorative and distract from the information I’m reporting,” Tapper said in an e-mail to TheDC.
Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, said “teabaggers” who have signs with the word “Obamacare” indicate whether they are racist or not. In a media appearance on the left-wing Bill Press Radio Show, Waters called on journalists to “be all over” Tea Party rallies to look for racism.
Democrat Rep. Carolyn Pease-Lopez strongly disagreed. She said the term (Obamacare) is derived from racism toward the president and Republicans are only using the offensive term because they have such a large majority in the Legislature.
Not only are these examples inaccurate, but as Waters used the definitely sexually offensive term “teabaggers” in her own irrational example, they themselves are guilty of double standards, being offensive, and for checking reality at the door.
But the biggest rebuke to this lunacy has come from President Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina who used the term Obamacare not once, not twice, but FIVE times in a positive way in an email to Obama supporters that urged them to stand UP for Obamacare, the supposed disparaging, racist, offensive and hate-fueled term:
Let everyone know: “I like Obamacare.”
What’s not to like? Obamacare means you won’t have to pay out of pocket for preventive care like cancer screenings and birth control, insurance companies can no longer drop people when they get sick or refuse coverage for “pre-existing conditions,” and women won’t have to pay more just for being women.
The bottom line is, the more people know about health care reform, the more they like it. So make sure your friends and family know that Obamacare is something to be proud of — and worth fighting for.
Say you like Obamacare today:
