Is President Obama A Strong Leader Or Is He Just A Wimp That Is Afraid Of The Republican Party?

My opinion is, President Obama is not a strong leader he is too indecisive and weak.

1. The Henry Louis Gates controversy and racial profiling was an important issue  that was unique. The reason why is, white people cannot tell people of colour we have no right to be upset about racial profiling.  First, President Obama supported Henry Louis Gates, but then he backed off due to the media scrutiny of the white American media.

Suddenly, white people are trying to tell people of colour that racial profiling is not a serious issue yet they don’t experience it!

Regardless of what white liberals and conservatives believe, they cannot deny the fact President Obama is a black man. Prior to Barack Obama becoming the President of the United States if he was a regular black male and he was stopped by the police he would automatically be racially profiled.

Any black man or man of colour can tell you racial profiling sucks. I am so disappointed that President Obama  is such a chicken! He worries too much about upsetting the prejudices of white liberals and conservatives. It is such a joke that people who have no experience being racially profiled,  suddenly feel they have a right to tell a  black man his  life experiences don’t matter! President Obama needed to stand up for his friend and not be a chicken!

2. The Shirley Sherrod and Fox News fiasco was such a joke. Shirley Sherrod is a proud black woman she is a role model! President Obama should be making blue prints and learning from Ms. Sherrod! Ms. Sherrod  stood her ground, she did not allow the racist American media to stop her from speaking the truth about American society. Ms. Sherrod also criticized President Obama and she is correct about him as well. President Obama comes across as this weak black man who is so fearful of the Republican Party.

I don’t recall Bill Clinton being so afraid of the Republicans.  Fox News is a such a bizarre television station anyway.  However, I have to remember America is a very conservative country that isn’t very civilized. A civilized nation would not allow such  anti black racism of Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Fox News to go without punishment. The journalism standards of the USA press is not very impressive compared to other countries.

3. The September 11 issue and the opening of a Mosque at ground zero is just another example of President Obama’s incompetence. First, President Obama endorses opening the mosque but now he’s not. Of course, the Republicans are going to attack President Obama because his inner circle is so insipid!

Maureen Dowd a white female journalist for the NY Times wrote an incendiary piece about the lack of people of colour  in President Obama’s  inner circle.

It is clear that President Obama is so out of “touch” with communities of colour that his indecisiveness makes sense. The man doesn’t stand for anything, he worries too much about upsetting the so-called “liberal whites” when these people aren’t “liberal” to begin with.

4. The immigration issue is a joke because it only focuses on the American Latinos. Are Hispanics the only people in the United States that have problems with immigration? It sure seems like it. The United States is a strange country given the fact “Hispanic” is not a race anyway it is just a “cultural group.”  According to the USA census, most American Latinos are actually “white Hispanics”. Since most American Latinos are “white Hispanics”, why is this cultural group treated as though they are a race? It doesn’t make sense to me.  Why does the term “Latino” exist anyway? Aren’t white Hispanics also a part of white America?

However, since the USA census gives priority to this Latino cultural group and they are the largest “minority” group in America they do have political power. Meanwhile, other immigrant groups in America that encounter discrimination are ignored. Don’t other immigrant groups also matter? Why just focus on the Latinos?

5. Will President Obama provide support for gay marriage? I think American gays and lesbians should not hold their breath for President Obama’s support. I understand American homosexuals want the American President to get more involved. However, President Obama and his “white” inner circle are only focused on the “polls.” Since gay marriage is not a popular issue with the American majority, they will wait in vain for  this President to support gay marriage.

I think American gays and lesbians are a  bit naive, they believe because President Obama is an African-American he’s going to have “sympathy” and support homosexuals. Just because Barack Obama is African-American, doesn’t mean he is going to automatically have a  “liberal” view about gay issues. There are black people in America that are very homophobic due to their religious beliefs. There are also white people that are very homophobic they also believe homosexuality is a  sin.

Even though “Christianity” is a white religion anyway, that was forced on to the African-American slaves during slavery. It is interesting that black Americans are Christians despite the fact this religion was indoctrinated on to them!  So why do American homosexuals think a black President is going to support gay marriage anyway just because he is black? Wow that’s really stupid!

President Obama is not going to upset his  homophobic heterosexual voting bloc  by supporting gay marriage. I know it will be a tough pill for gay marriage activists in America to believe but this is the truth.

The American gay community is in for a rude awakening, it is clear President Obama plays politics because he is a politician. If gay marriage is not popular he won’t support it. However, if gay marriage was popular President Obama would support it.

Sometimes a real leader has to make decisions that are not popular with the white majority. Sometimes, a leader actually has to “lead” and do the right thing because it is right. Since President Obama  is a spineless coward don’t expect him to support gay marriage.

6. President Obama has taken the African-American community in the United States for granted. The quandary is, once President Obama got a taste of power he  distanced himself from black issues. Has President Obama forgotten to look in the mirror?  It may be surprise to white liberals, but powerful African-American politicians created and groomed Barack Obama. President Obama did not just fall out of the sky he got support from high-profile blacks.

I understand the pain and the anger of African-American voters and I am not even American! Some African-Americans feel betrayed by President Obama but they are also being unrealistic.  President Obama only cares about maintaining power he doesn’t give a damn about African-Americans and they should know this. President Obama also takes the African-American vote for granted since so many black Americans support him.

Black voters in the USA should be asking themselves this question, what has President Obama done for blacks since he got elected in January 2009?  President Obama flip flops on race issues all the time, he comes across as someone who is a bit clueless about race. How can a black president have an all white inner circle? Does this make any sense?  President Obama worries too much about what “white people” think about him. President Obama certainly doesn’t care about what “black people” think about him because he takes African-Americans for granted! Black Americans need to hold President Obama  more accountable.

President Obama is even more pathetic because he flip flops on race issues all the time because he worries about alienating his white liberal audience. Are these white people even liberal anyway? My perspective is, since President Obama is America’s first black President he should be using his place of privilege and power to make decisions he believes in  and stop worrying about being popular.
