Debbie Schlussel: Obama Spokesmodel Pushes Reparations on Campaign Trail; Obama Doesn't Negate Statement
While Barack Hussein Obama, with his GQ visage, keeps trying to impress upon us the myth that he's the epitome of moderation, I can think of no better spokesman for him than the Honorable John Conyers. Conyers is the more honest version of Obama.
The extremist Congressman who hates America and Israel and loves terrorists and anti-Semites is now campaigning for Obama at the behest of and enlistment by the Prez-wannabe himself and his campaign.
And while on the campaign trail for Obama in North Carolina, Conyers
discussed one of his legislative passions, a controversial bill to create a commission to study reparations programs for the descendants of slaves.
When You Elect This . . .
You Get This . . .
The bill calls upon the federal government to acknowledge the "fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery" in America between 1619 and 1865 and make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies for this treatment. . . . The bill requests $8 million to study the issue.
So, is Obama in favor of reparations, like his new spokesmodel, John Conyers? In the past, he's only noted that he hasn't endorsed any reparations plan. But with Conyers pimping that idea while campaigning on his behalf, it's not hard to "do the math," "read between the lines," etc.
And others in the Obama campaign aren't exactly saying Obama disagrees with Conyers:
"Senator Obama believes that the most meaningful reparations would be to fix our broken schools, and make job training available and college affordable, and build affordable housing and get investment capital into our communities so people can start businesses," said Dan Leistikow, the North Carolina communications director for Obama.
Hmmm . . . not exactly an "I'm against reparations" statement.
Barack Hussein Obama . . . John Conyers in a younger body and a haute couture suit.
