CNN Blames White People For Obama's Slow Action On Oil Spill

UPDATE - 6/9, 5:45 PM | Lachlan Markay:

One of CNN's primary sources for this piece has endorsed the notion that "Rev. Wright's anger about the domestic and foreign policies of the USA are well rooted – and documented – in the current reality of the USA." Details below the jump.

The excuses keep rolling in to explain why President Obama is seemingly detached from the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

On Wednesday, CNN.com reached a new low by blatantly playing the race card: President Obama is afraid to look angry in public because white people historically haven't liked angry black men.

This conclusion was offered by four supposed experts (all of whom were sympathetic to Obama), with no one else mentioned to provide any ounce of skepticism.

Apparently CNN's logic goes something like this: Obama grew up being afraid of offending white people, so he developed a natural aversion to public displays of emotion, which means his cool response to the oil spill right now is the final product of white bigotry.

1. Since he's half white, is there any chance that he could accept responsibility for just a little bit of the blame?

2. I have known since day one that he was going to find some way to blame this on ME.

3. He grew up being afraid of offending white people? Bullshit! His very existence is an affront to my sensibilities. I no longer even like the letters that spell his name.
