Obama's "Different Belief System"

Obama's "Different Belief System"

In a lengthy interview, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes dropped a big bomb on President Obama saying, without clarification, “He just has a different belief system than most Americans.” That’s a truism known to conservatives for years.

That line came after he said, again without elucidating “He just got kicked from Mumbai to South Korea, and he came home and attacked Republicans for it” which, I guess, Ailes didn’t feel warranted further explanation. Even the MSM is in agreement that the president’s recent $200 million a day junket to Asia was a diplomatic dud and, as for blaming the GOP, that’s been Obama’s modus operandi since Day One, along with the administration’s penchant of hinting that any and all criticism of Obama is racially motivated.

It’s going to be more challenging to blame Republicans and racism for his new childrens’ picture book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, dedicated to Malia and Sasha. The Washington Post opines that the book, with a drawing of the First Daughters and the First Dog, Bo, on the cover, might be exploiting Malia and Sasha, although all profits will be given to military charities: http://tiny.cc/es3xq

Aside from the logical question of how a sitting president finds time to write a book, even a childrens’ book, Of Thee I Sing, which borrows that portion of its title from a 1931 musical, political satire and Pulitzer Prize winner by George and Ira Gershwin, supports Ailes’ contention that Obama marches to the tune of a “different belief system than most Americans.” . . .
