Better late than never. Barack Obama, perhaps the most pampered human being in American history, is suddenly obsessed with how some protected classes in this country are handed unfair privileges over more deserving groups.
“When anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that’s a problem,” Obama said Wednesday after the Eric Garner grand jury decision. “And it’s my job as president to help solve it.”
Not being treated equally under the law? Do you mean racial-preference programs like affirmative action, Mr. President? Will you be filing an amicus curiae brief against your alma mater, Harvard University, which is being sued for admitting members of some racial groups with inferior qualifications over more deserving candidates who do not belong to racially protected classes?
Didn’t Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dream of a day when the color of a man’s skin would count for less than the character of his soul?
Yet a humble immigrant like Dinesh D’Souza is packed off to a halfway house for 8 months for illegally giving $20,000 to a politician friend, while the Rev. Al Sharpton blows off $4.5 million in unpaid taxes and has a permanent red carpet rolled out for him at the White House.
Can somebody say “not being treated equally under the law”?
Over the past few days, this unequal application of justice in AmeriKKKan society has become a recurring theme with the president. On Nov. 24, after the Ferguson grand jury decision, Obama said, “There are issues in which the law too often feels as if it is being applied in discriminatory fashion.”
You ain’t kiddin’, Barry. Consider how in Massachusetts, we have waiting lists for public housing. Yet if someone without a Social Security number (an illegal alien, in other words) appears, claiming he’s “homeless” and has children, that illegal goes to the top of the waiting list, ahead of every American citizen, including veterans who fought for their country.
On Dec. 1, at yet another Ferguson roundtable, Obama said, “It violates my belief in what America can be, to hear young people, feeling marginalized and distrustful, even after they’ve done everything right.”
You know, like serving in the military. Yet when veterans move to Massachusetts, they have to live here a year before being considered “in-state.” There are no such waiting periods for illegal aliens, and of course, since most of the illegals don’t work (or at least don’t report income), they go to state schools for free.
There’s a new Gallup poll out there about the effects of Obamacare. Because of the billion-dollar transfers from the working to the non-working classes, people making between $30,000 and $75,000 are going to the doctor less.
But people collecting less than $30,000 are going to the doctor more.
As Randy Newman once sang, Mr. President, have pity on the working man. We ask for no special privileges. We just want to be treated like Obama voters.
