In a new Obama profile in
The New Yorker, the President famously says that marijuana is no worse for people than cigarettes and alcohol. In the germane passage regarding race, Obama tells interviewer David Remnick:
"There's no doubt that there's some folks who just really dislike me because they don't like the idea of a black president... Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I'm a black president."
Showing pure contempt for the ideals that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. embraced, and on the day we have chosen as a nation to celebrate his life, the former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, chose to make a spectacle of herself on Facebook.
Per the Dumb B*tch's Facebook Page!
“Happy MLK, Jr. Day!
“‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.’ – Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card.”
BTW...47% of the Americans who voted in 2008 thought she should be Vice President of America!!!
I remain dumbfounded! Absolutely amazing!
