Michelle Obama had a real eye-opener of a line at the Democratic Nation Convention Tuesday night when she so poignantly recognized that “being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are.” And she is most certainly right — only not in the way she might expect. Being president has not shown Barack Obama to be the man she so adamantly describes in her speech. Instead, being president has revealed Barack Obama to be divisive, hypocritical, and quite frankly untrustworthy with America’s future.
Divisiveness
President Obama strode in on an uplifting message of unity and togetherness. Who can forget his powerful assertion in 2004 that “there is no black America, there is no white America, there is only the United States of America”? Michelle Obama tell us that she loves “that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard — especially when it’s hard.” This does not sound like the same Obama who promised unity but instead was revealed to take sides and divide the country at many turns.
When in a press conference saying the police acted stupidly in arresting Harvard Law professor Henry Louis Gates without knowing the facts and laying the blame on race, Obama was not living up to his promise. When our president accused the rich in this country of not paying their fair share at the expense of the less fortunate without acknowledging that they pay more than half the taxes while some Americans pay none, Obama took the easy route of divide and conquer instead of explaining the hard truth.
