Brewer Vs. Obama: Bookerista Perspectives

Tyrone:  "MSNBC, Cut The Nonsense" 

Asserts the conservative Republican blogger in Maryland: "As always with MSNBC, it's all race, all the time, 24/7. The other day Barack Obama landed in Arizona, and Governor Jane Brewer was there to meet him. They exchanged greetings-and then had a momentary exchange on the immigration issue and what Jane wrote about Obama in her book which Obama took exception to. Nobody in their right mind would have thought much of a governor and a president of two opposing political parties having a momentary exchange on an issue. The media blew it up to be more then what it really was of course, because it was Obama who was involved. However, one has to look at the equation involved through the eyes of progressives in the media. White Female Republican Governor + Black Male Democratic President = Another opportunity to make a non issue into a racial one by the racial antagonists over at MSNBC."

He continues his commentary about the controversy: "How can race relations in this country ever improve when progressives keep using race in order to stir up the pot in regards to political issues? The problem with race rests in the lap of people such as Melissa-Harris Perry. People like her branded Governor Brewer as a racist simply, because she tried to protect her state from being overrun by illegal aliens. I will repeat what I have always said about MSNBC. They barely have any viewers for a reason, and America is better off because of it."

Duane Brayboy: "As Thin As A Single Picture"

The conservative blogger in Georgia writes: "Some folks like Melissa Harris-Perry saw something a lot deeper in just 1/8 of a second of time. Perry is the same woman who said 'When birthers accuse President Obama of not having a 'real' birth certificate, they’re telling him to 'go back to Africa.' So for her, anything short of asking Obama for the privilege to kiss his behind is racist."

Mr. Brayboy continues his commentary: "So it makes complete sense as to why the Brewer incident became the unpardonable sin to Obama fanboys. Even when it comes to how he is to be addressed. At all times you are to use the word 'President' in front of Obama’s name. If you do not, you are disrespecting him. Never mind the fact that every other president in the past was and is still addressed oftentimes by their last name. But I get it. Obama is the first Black president we have ever had in this nation and we want to make sure that he gets all the pomp every other president before him received. I get it. I understand it. But 'equal' treatment as a president does include dissension (and in most cases when the cameras are not present, very bitter dissension). It goes hand in hand with the office. We here in the peanut gallery are left with stills, video clips and sound bites to draw sweeping conclusions about these little gods. Brewer’s mistake was being caught in 1/8 of a second demonstrating her dissension."
