There’s No Barack Obama Without George W. Bush
And I don’t mean that in a way like Barack Obama would not be a successful attorney or politician without George W. Bush, but there’s no way in hell America as a whole embraces a liberal black man for president without the absolute failure of its current administration.
He is the most unpopular president in the history of the country. He is master craftsman of ridiculous sayings, and has cuased most of the globe to hate all Americans because we ‘elected’ him on two occasions.
And yet, without his disastrous tenure as leader of the free world, our country would not be in a position to embrace common sense and vigor for change from a face unfamiliar to this point of a presidential race.
I heard Michael Eric Dyson say that Obama is treading a path laid by Martin Luther King Jr. and illuminated by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. To an extent of being recognized black men in the media, that is true. But Obama brings the calming nature of King in a time where racial flames do not abound. He brings a cultural awareness to a country more integrated into its principles by arts and entertainment.
He brings an energy for results at a time where Americans have grown all too tired of misinformation and blatant lying from the government.
So thank you, George W. In a twisted and sick way, you’ve accelerated race relations in this country by at least 30 years. In an evil and perverted way, you’re making America more appealing to the rest of the globe.
And for once, your ignorance is paying off for the rest of us.
