Bill Press On Iraq: Republicans 'Refuse To Give A Black Man Credit'
Sure way to stay schnockered between now and presidential Election Day: sling a shot every time a liberal plays the race card.
Latest example: on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this evening, Bill Press ascribed Republican reluctance to give President Obama credit on Iraq to the fact that "the Republican party is like some of the banks down South. They refuse to give a black man credit." Video after the jump.
Watch Press play the race card in the most egregious way. Can he really believe that Republicans would be any more forthcoming with praise for a white Dem president who pulled troops out of Iraq in a way that left Iran strengthened and emboldened?
PS: Would Press care to specify the southern banks he claims are breaking the law, or does he prefer to leave his libel floating flatulently in the wind?
AL SHARPTON: Bill is writing about the Iraq pull-out, calling it a promise made, promise kept. Bill, what will it take for Republicans to give this president credit?
BILL PRESS: You know what, Reverend Al? As one of my callers said this morning on my show, the Republican party is like some of the banks down South. They refuse to give a black man credit. Period.

Sorry, Barry, but your American Excess has been cut up.
I will give credit to the White House for staying with President Bush's original timetable on Iraq; they deserve nothing more.
And, if we've learned anything from Mr. Obama's first three years, it's that saying and doing are two very different things.
By the way, Mr. Press, shouldn't you follow a snappy one-liner like that with a rim-shot and an "thanks, I'll be here all week, try the veal"?

For starters, I'm totally burned out on this whole 'racist' theme..............that seems to be constantly pushed by the white-guilt, politically correct, wimpy-ass libs. But, more to the point, I REFUSE to buy into the false notion that Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama - the biggest scam EVER perpetrated on the American people in the history of the USA - is a legitimate or real 'black' man!!! It's NOT TRUE!!! And I lay that out, in no uncertain terms, whenever I am talking with any of the numerous loony libs in my area, and they bring up the 'race' card.
Boy Barry has very little, if any, history in the American 'black' experience, and the 'black' part of his DNA is the smallest percentage..............so why does he continually get the credit for being 'black'??? And since he's 50% 'white', why is that NEVER brought up??? And since he has a good-size percentage of Arabic in his bloodline.....................why isn't that being played up??
Hell, the MSM won't even allude to his mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooslem roots and tendancies.
So, Bill DePress, and the rest of you idiots losers................there's a reason why you guys are such morons, and you prove it everytime you open your stupid mouths. And yeah, Bill............Obama IS the 'killer'.................look what he has done to our country and our economy since he has been immaculated!!! And he is STILL doing it right now!!!!

Submitted by hoodad500 on Tue, 10/25/2011 - 7:57am.
Whenever Bill Press (or any liberal for that matter) is in need of a substantial point to make and can't come up with on (which is most of the time), he/they always stoop to racism (when defending Obama). We need to learn what that really means when it happens . . . we won the debate! In this regard, Bill Press is among the neediest of spokesmen for the liberal fraud/scam/lie of the day. There's probably a sign on his desk that says,"When you can't win with logic and intellect, call them something nasty and despicable!"
Memo to Bill Press: I am happy to give the president full credit for getting our troops out of Iraq and for the resulting shift in Iraq's allegiance to Iran, which will be the result. Will you, Mr. Press, be equally happy to call those of us racists who will also give him credit for that?

I'll be happy to give credit to Obama, when that credit is actually deserved. So far, the credit is undeserved, for we still have troops in Iraq, do we not? Well, he can't take credit for removing the troops when the troops remain, right? This isn't the first time he announced that he was going pull the troops out of Iraq. He said that same thing three years ago, and we're still waiting.
How much longer do you think it will take until Obama, yet again, announces that "some" troops will remain in Iraq, just like he did the last time he wanted "credit" for "ending the war in Iraq?" I give him until just before the pull-out deadline is reached. Then, voila, a new agreement is made and the troops remain! Of course the liberals will, conveniently, forget about his earlier announcement of a complete pull-out and praise Obama for his "diplomacy" and his "fortitude" for "staying until the job is complete," because that's what hypocrites do.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent has been sentenced to two years in prison for improperly lifting the arms of a 15-year-old drug smuggling suspect while handcuffed — in what the Justice Department called a deprivation of the teenager’s constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force.
