I have thought so for many months now. I thought no one else did until I read this interesting article, below. I DO very much think Obama is a racist, and I think the author of this article thinks so too and admire him for speaking "outside the political box.".
Iowa Rep. Steve King said he is performing a public service by accusing President Obama of favoring blacks over whites.
"I'm standing up against something that is or could become racism," King told FoxNews.com on Wednesday.
The Iowa Republican said he didn't misspeak when he told a nationally syndicated radio show on Monday that President Obama favors blacks over whites. King told the G. Gordon Liddy show that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder repeatedly demonstrate an unjust preference toward minorities.
King told FoxNews.com that his comments alluded to a July 2009 incident in which a white police officer in Cambridge, Mass., arrested a black professor for disorderly conduct.
Before knowing all the facts, Obama said Sgt. James Crowley acted "stupidly" when he apprehended Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. outside his home. Obama later said he did not intend to malign the police offer -- and invited the two men to a "beer summit" at the White House -- but King claims his initial remarks showed a "built-in defense mechanism" that favors minorities.
King said Obama's first public statement on the incident "brought up race in the beginning" and "concluded with race."
The three-term congressman repeated his claim that Obama has "a default mechanism that breaks down on the side of the minority."
