Did Harvard’s Professor Gates sink Obama?
On July 21, Dick Morris commented in The Hill that superficially, the
United States appears to have a presidential system, but in fact it
more and more resembles a parliamentary form of government. When a
president loses the approval of the majority of the voters and polls
reflect that his ratings have fallen substantially below 50 percent,
he loses his power. Then on Saturday, the Rasmussen Reports Daily
Tracking Poll reported that for the first time 49 percent of voters
say they only somewhat approve of the president's performance. This
was the second straight day that his overall approval rating has been
below 50 percent among likely voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent
disapprove.
Now that Cambridge intends to “open a dialogue” — they love to have
this kind of “meta-narrative about race,” as one New York Times
columnist put it — in the elite college neighborhoods where the
president has spent most of his adult life, it will continue to grind
him down. He’ll be at 45 percent by September.
After July 21, when the Boston papers first reported the arrest of
Professor Gates, there was plenty of time for the public to sense that
whatever else happened and whatever we would learn in the next three
days, this was a classic contretemps between the Two Bostons: Harvard
Yard and Fenway Park. And as a classic form of single-combat
psychological warfare, there could not possibly be a more
unequivocally perfect symbolic representation of Harvard in our time
than Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University
Professor and Director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and
African American Research. And there could not be a more distinguished
representative of Fenway Park than Sgt. James Crowley, an honest cop
who taught classes on racial profiling and who supported the president
“110 percent” but refused to back down to him.
Purely from a marketing point of view, Obama’s knee-jerk
identification with Professor Gates when he didn’t have all the facts
was terrible strategy. A samurai would never open a chink that wide
for the opposition to exploit. And he took his audience for granted.
Just as Letterman did. And it showed Obama’s instinctive
identification with a small and cloistered elite and one which William
F. Buckley Jr. considered so self-important and deluded that he said
he’d rather be governed by the first 50 names in the Boston phonebook.
Obama instantly alienated himself from the vast world of common folk
he so hopes to save. And next week’s trek to Nantucket/Martha’s
Vineyard, storied for late-night, drug-addicted, burned-out Saturday
Night . . . types will bring more fuel for scorn. Back in 1977, long
before it caught on in Texas and Alaska, the two detached ocean towns
actually tried to secede from the boorish, coarse, brutes and Morlocks
of Red Sox Nation to form their own fashionably stoned hippie
wonderland and overwhelming majorities voted to secede from
Massachusetts and possibly the nation. But that was a different time;
a time when the generation’s folkloric muse and mentor declared,
“everybody must get stoned,” and half the country, including Obama,
was.
It will not make things better for Obama when he goes to bask with the
same disaffected Eloi of Harvard Yard at Martha’s Vineyard.
Is Obama a snob? Does he see himself only as a title in caricature and
dress up as snobs do? As Kerry does. As Barbara Boxer does. Does he to
himself feel he doesn’t belong where he is, as snobs do? Is his only
talent giving speeches? Why is he so associated with pretenders? Why
would he seem uncomfortable with plain, original, solid folk? People
like Al Roker or Tony Dungy. People like James Crowley.
I simply can’t imagine him disappearing alone in a smoke-filled Legion
Hall and finding his way to the bar to sit and talk to the old
soldiers who are drinking already at 10 a.m., as I have seen Wesley
Clark do.
Is that why Jesse Jackson and the regular-folk Chicago preachers hate
him? |

Is Obama a snob?
Blacks who achieve some status in life naturally become snobs because
in their own culture, they are the absolute top of the heap. When you
look at Obama and Gates, their station in black life is rarefied to
say the least. The weird thing is, they are so sub-consciously unsure
of their true value though (affirmative action can't have helped
here), they become very defensive (Gates) when they feel their
position's security is being threatened or questioned. |

The first right thing I think you've ever said... affirmative action
wasn't a factor... they earned their accomplishments on their own with
good, old-fashioned hard work.

The cops were threatening Professor Gates? How so? How was his
position's security threatened? Were the cops going to fire him from
Harvard?
Your racism and stupidity knows no bounds.

Aaahhh, more racism and fewer repugs. I'm happy about the fewer
repugs but the racism is a bit much. |

The cops took him into custody. That should give you a clue. Yeah,
they were threatening, they threatened him with prosecution and a year
in jail.
The fact that Dr. Gates lived in a segregated society and still
achieved greatness should tell you something.
Oh, you could admit your racism. |

Gates clearly believes he's above comporting himself like a regular

Kevin, I think you misunderstood my reply to Racist Rich.
I know the cops took Professor Gates into custody. Rich wrote,
"...they become very defensive (Gates) when they feel their

He made it sound like, to me anyway, that the cops had the power to
cost Professor Gates his job, for example.

How the fuck do you know what Professor Gates 'clearly believes?'
You barely know what you 'clearly believe.'
Please tell the rest of the class how you know what Professor Gates
believes.

How does Dr. Gates (note the Dr., that's how respectful people refer
to some one who took the time and effort to get a doctorate) behavior
vary from a "....regular citizen."? He was on his property. He
bought and paid for it. And a cop was on his property, that he bought
and paid for giving him grief.
So tell us, racist, what do you think Dr. Gate should have done? |

How can "those" black hate white people?
How can they? Dr. Gates was born into a segregated society. A
society run by white people. That should give you some clue.
Geez, your a racist. And you never succeeded like Dr. Gates did. You
aren't the head of any thing, much less the head of a Harvard
division. Face it, you can't stand the fact that an African-American
has left you in the dust. |
