Barack Obama: High Class Hypocrisy
Something that recently popped into my head…
Remember everyone’s favorite Barack Obama moment, when he said that the Cambridge police acted stupidly, despite admittedly not having all the facts, and it being basically none of his business to comment upon? (see 1:30)
And of course the famous follow-up (especially between 2:00-3:30):
What’s the take home lesson, boys and girls?
When a celebrity or public figure butts in where he doesn’t belong, and publicly embarrasses or insults someone, apologies are not really necessary, it all really serves as one big teachable moment, and all can be solved with a beer.
Right?
Let’s take another example:
But it’s OK, right? It’s a teachable moment for all of us. Kanye was probably frustrated because a white person won, and African-Americans have understandable angst after generations of suffering. Obviously Kanye and Taylor should get together with Beyonce at the West house for a beer.
Hey, wait a second…

Okay, while browsing through the Blogs on Religion, I came acroos your article, which doesn’t read a lot like anything based on religion at all? In fact, as a Christain, I’m a bit stunned that you would disrespect a child of God and our President this way, right along with a list of videos…to prove your point, I assume? By the way, what exactly IS your point anyway? If Obama is the epitome of high class hypocracy, then your article my friend is the epitome of self righteousness, which is a much bigger disgrace to the United States. Fear based hate always leads to those who abuse the truth, but then again, hope and faith always wins in the end. Sorry, I missed reading a blog on religion.
