The number two man at NBC News believes Barack Obama's skin color gives him more legitimacy around the world than possibly any American leader in history.
For those unfamiliar, Mark Whitaker is the Senior Vice President that succeeded the late Tim Russert as NBC's Washington Bureau Chief, and currently oversees national and international reporting for all the network's news programs including the "Nightly News," the "Today" show, MSNBC, and "Meet the Press."
As part of the panel on Sunday's "The Chris Matthews Show," Whitaker said the following about Barack Obama (h/t American Thinker's Marc Sheppard, file photo):
I think it goes beyond the Middle East, and I think it's a bigger phenomenon which is the leader of the biggest democracy in the world is now a person of color and that is going to give him what political scientists would call a legitimacy in the street around the world that I don't think an American leader has had, ever perhaps.
Imagine that. Because Obama is black, before he even steps into the White House and accomplishes one darned thing he already has more legitimacy around the world than possibly every American president that came before him.
Isn't that racist? Isn't suggesting that someone is better or more "legitimate" solely because of the color of his or her skin a tremendously offensive concept?
Doesn't this go counter to Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream that his four children "will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" (h/t NBer Mike Bratton)?
How did such obvious racism go completely unchallenged by Matthews and the rest of his panel? After all, doesn't this mean that all the white leaders of Europe and in other parts of the world are now LESS legitimate than Obama just because they're not black?
Also quite astonishing, Whitaker's comments came during a discussion of why Obama's middle-name "Hussein" is actually now a good thing:
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Despite his best efforts, Barack Obama couldn't stop all that internet chatter from the radical right that he's actually a Muslim or an actual terrorist sympathizer. Even up to Election Day 12% of Americans thought Obama is a Muslim. At times McCain rallies even played on those doubts. Here's a conservative radio talk show host at one of those rallies.CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST: At some point the media will quit taking sides in this thing, and maybe start covering Barack Hussein Obama.
MATTHEWS: When Obama won, Muslims in Africa and elsewhere rejoiced. No surprise, and so now, irony of ironies, al Qaeda is worried, al Qaeda is worried that Obama’s global popularity will hurt their appeal around the world. David, I'm fascinated by this. To what extent do they see him as a son of that part of the world, being from a Swahili name, a father from Kenya, with that name, Barack Hussein Obama, how much do they see as one of their own and therefore a popular figure?
Imagine that. Throughout the campaign we were told by liberal media members that any reference to Obama's middle-name was racist. Now that he's about to be president, his middle-name is an asset that can be freely discussed:
DAVID IGNATIUS, WASHINGTON POST: Well, they don't know yet, but you can see that they're excited at the possibility that this really is a different kind of American president. How amazing his middle name is Hussein. Can this really be? And this is a world that has really grown to hate the United States. I’m sorry to say, in the numbers, if you read the polls, that this should worry all of us. So, you can see it in the statement recently by the number two in al Qaeda, Ayman Zawahiri, this racist statement describing Obama as a house Negro…What that shows me is that they are really unsettled by this. This is not the kind of president they're used to facing. In a sense, I shouldn’t say this, but Bush was comfortable for them because he was an easy adversary for them. Obama’s a very different kind of person. All across the Muslim Middle East I find these groups are looking out Obama, kind of revaluating their positions. You see that with Hamas. You see it in Syria. In Iran there's a great debate going on how about how do we deal with this guy, this force in America and world politics.
MATTHEWS: One reason for the rage from the east, and I’m no expert. All these years that have led to the terrorism, the undercurrent of rage against the west, us, is the sense that we have disrespected them, their culture, we have looked down on them. In fact, we have defeated them technologically in some cases. But there’s that sense that they feel they're reacting to the hatred of the west. By electing somebody with this name, are we going to diffuse some of that? I think that would be very hopeful if we could.
KATTY KAY, BBC: Yeah, I think it really does undermine some of that knee-jerk criticism of America. It's much harder if you're in the Middle East now to stand up and reject an American president whose middle-name is Hussein. It just, it just is.
Those who thought the Obama-loving media would become more impartial once he was elected were clearly kidding themselves.
Update 13:34 | Matthew Sheffield. In his setup for the discussion, Chris Matthews just couldn't resist tarring all Republicans with the "radical right" angle. The "conservative talk radio host" he referenced, however, was immediately condemned by John McCain and other Republicans for calling Barack Obama by his middle name.
Earlier this year during the primary season, Ohio talk show host Bill Cunningham lashed out at the McCain camp for "throwing me under a bus" for his remarks. Matthews in his haste to lump all of his right-leaning foes together didn't see fit to mention any of this.

Legitimacy???
November 30, 2008 - 14:05 ET by SentryDanLegitimacy??? Obama's has no more legitimacy than the Man-in-the-Moon. The color of his skin nor his middle name do not do it either.
I've said it before, BHO isn't black. At best his is only 1/2 black and that nakes him mixed race. A man who will not acknowledge his ethnic background on all sides, doesn't have much creditability in my book. A man who won't admit when he is wrong doesn't have much creditability. A man who would turn his back on his own family doesn't have much creditability. A man to professes to be a Christian but does not hold himself to true Christian values doesn't have much creditability. And a man who professes to be a constitutional lawyer and should know that the Constitution of the United States IS NOT a living document again doesn't have much creditability. And finally, a man who doesn't honor his oath as a U.S. Senator doesn't have any creditability or honor.
Remember folks, Freedon isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women how serve and have served in the U.S. Military Services.
For those who fought for it Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.

November 30, 2008 - 13:51 ET by Clear thinkerObama's Skin Color Gives Him More Legitimacy Than Any American Leader In History

Oh okay I'm gettin it now......
November 30, 2008 - 15:40 ET by connman"How amazing his middle name is Hussein. Can this really be? And this is
a world that has really grown to hate the United States."
And yet anyone in the campaign or media that dared mention Hussein in his name was villified. In some cases actually asked to resign their position within the McCain campain and also I believe in the HRC primary campaign. Now, that's Amazing!
"So, you can see it in the statement recently by the number two
in al Qaeda, Ayman Zawahiri, this racist statement describing Obama as
a house Negro…What that shows me is that they are really unsettled by
this. This is not the kind of president they're used to facing"
And when an American like Harry Belafonte called Rice and Powell the same thing he was racist too, right Dave? Were You unsettled about that?
Just wondering.
But at the end, Obama's campaign finally stopped running from it
December 1, 2008 - 07:17 ET by Indiana JoeIt seems it eventually occurred to the Obama campaign that they were the only ones claiming that "Hussein" was a slam on Obama, that they were the only ones saying that the inference that he may be Muslim, or at least acknowledging that he has a Muslim background was a bad thing. I realized that from day one.
By criticizing any reference to Obama's actual Muslim ties, his own campaign showed it's intolerance. Now, really late in the game, they've embraced "diversity."
Typical liberal hypocrites. Or, as I prefer, typlibocrites.

Whitaker must have some sort of a tingle running down...
November 30, 2008 - 14:13 ET by ThalpyWhitaker must have some sort of tingle running down his leg. It might be a trickle. "Where do we find such men?"
More than anything, I think
November 30, 2008 - 14:14 ET byMore than anything, I think this rant points out the SIMPLISTIC nature of liberal "thinking". People who hate us because their religious book tells them to are going to be fooled by a NAME? Seriously cracked "religious" fanatics who will see Obama unleash an onslaught of ABORTIONS once he re-installs our federal funding of international abortions, will be fooled by his NAME. Muslim clerics who spend their lives CORRECTLY teaching that sodomites go to hell and who have been actively "hastening" that journey by KILLING them, will nonetheless be fooled by his NAME as Obama kills DOMA and "Don't ask, don't tell". They won't even notice!
The DENIALS by Obama of ANY link to his muslim heritage, his open refutation of being a muslim won't matter as long as he has "the Name". Apparently the absolute bone chilling hatred that these animals have for anyone who has RENOUNCED Islam, as Obama has REPEATEDLY done, is lost on Liberals.
This is because "Liberals" lead lives chocked full of empty symbolism, hey, when "War is not the answer" is the sum total of generations of liberal thinking, what else can you expect? Especially if you've ever seen the empty look on their faces when you ask them, "Well, what IS the answer?" I've long thought this shallow thinking is dangerous, especially since they insist on believing that everyone is as reality challenged as they are!
Talk about empty symbolism! Liberals risk their stupid necks to save ONE tree, while MILLIONS of trees are being cut down all around them. We must all "go green", as they disembark from a private jet. They offer candidates who claim to be "christian" while strangely supporting EVERY SINGLE THING that Christ is AGAINST serene in the believe that you won't know they're LIARS, as long as they SAY they're "Christian"!
Now they think that blood thirsty savages led by a satanic ideology, that demands thetotal extinction of it's enemies, will be swayed by a NAME.
Que triste.
In the memorable words of Samuel L. Jackson from Die Hard III, after Bruce Willis asks him , "Why don't you like me", Sam Jackson says, " I DON'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA GET ME KILLED"!
Liberalism is a mental disease that makes it's adherents believe that everyone in the world is as trivial and insubstantial as they are.
And so?

I keep hearing/reading this, and want to shout back, "And we should care because, why?"
I think we, the U.S., should become Isolationists for awhile. Put the rest of the world on notice that, the rest of the world is on its own now. We won’t be helping with anything. If anyone attacks us, whoever we suspect is at fault gets nuked.
That’s it. Hate us at your peril, rest of the world.
Illegitimate
November 30, 2008 - 14:45 ET by nkviking75In light of the fact that Obama's qualifications are still not known, if they exist at all, and the fact that Obama's campaign played enough race cards to supply a Vegas casino for a year, Obama is as illegitimate as they come. He was largely elected because a great many people thought it would be cool to vote for a black guy, or because they feared being accused of racism if they voted against him. We can be sure that every failure he rings up will be blamed on someone else's racism. MLK Jr. would probably repudiate this man.
Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!
I guess...
November 30, 2008 - 14:51 ET by littlemissmuffinI guess George Washington, who received 100% of the vote, had no legitimacy???

God made all the different races on the sixth day and He beheld, and lo, it was VERY good.
Can anyone of us CHOOSE what wrapper we are contained in?
It's an affront to God and desperately pathetic.We are in for one hell of a ride.
Obama's color
November 30, 2008 - 15:34 ET by jackie3What is Obama's true color? I don't mean skin or ethics. I mean patriotic colors? To be honest, he seems a bit "reddish" to me.
The media is nothing more than a propaganda machine that is becoming more and more ridicules by the day. This article is barf inducing dripple. Obama's skin color doesn't make him more legitimate. The world is not rejoicing because we elected a black guy. They are rejoicing because we elected a community organizer with no real experience or qualifications for the job.
The world rejoices in our impotence to stand with as the sole super power. We have effectively taken ourselves down in the processes of this election.
We are being laughed at by the world; "Hahaha, america elected a putz into office. Look at this. They are so whacked they even elected a guy with 3 citizenships. Hurray, america is so screwed up now we can place our demands on this putz and get what we want."
The media hasn't figured out we're being laughed at yet.
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
True color?

Drunk On Power
November 30, 2008 - 15:50 ET by rammingspeedThese people are like the drunks at the bar who say anything that comes to mind, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how provably incorrect. Matthews and the rest are trying to build their case in support of Obama and the Democratic take over of the US. They're just stupid.
The reference to Obama having more street credibility around the world means thugs respect him more. That's what street cred is; it's based on the principles of the habitually disaffected to the downright criminal. That's just perfect. The thugs who hated us because we are successful will now like us because our president is black.
Liberals and MSM agitprops
November 30, 2008 - 18:31 ET by celatorLiberals and MSM agitprops think and speak using approved slogans. That's their entire method of discourse and reason. That process always leads them to the wrong conclusion about everything.
This item is a textbook example.
Race has nothing to do with it.
November 30, 2008 - 16:03 ET by Army BratSo why keep bringing it up? The folks at the various MSM outlets clearly never got the memo. Wotta joke.

Mention he's black,
November 30, 2008 - 16:16 ET by GregEMention he's black, pre-election, and you're racist.
Mention his middle name, pre-election, and you're racist.
But now...........those traits are the greatest things since sliced
bread. Nevermind that he's done nothing, because he's black and has an
Arab middle name. That's what counts.
It's official, the Obama presidency, without having to actually go thru the upcoming 4 years, is a success.
The Next Four Years
November 30, 2008 - 17:27 ET by JillCWIn the Bible, four is the number for testing and tribulation. If this guy isn't the anti-Christ, he's a close forerunner. That's why they pay hommage to him. He's scares the pants off them all. Additionally, the media is run by the money people of the CFR and they're the ones calling the shots on all the reporting. Even FOX News will have to tow the line a bit or Murdoch will lose his broadcasting privileges. Sheesh, welcome to AmeriKa.
no offense
December 1, 2008 - 09:02 ET by sentforth5but the spiritual significance of the number four in the Bible denotes creative works and always has reference to the material creation, as pertaining to the Earth, and things "under the sun" and things terrestrial.(The 4 winds, the 4 seasons, the 4 directions,N,S,E&W etc..)
Uh, I'm not picking on anybody, but THE antichrist is satan himself. Anti in Greek and Hebrew resolves to instead of and does not resolve to our English against, as in anti-freeze.
18 is spiritually significant for tribulation or even better, bondage.
40 would be for "testing", or probation like the forty years Moses led the children in Sinai.
Sorry, I swear I cannot help it.
Matthews
November 30, 2008 - 16:32 ET by jaywlMatthews is such a puke. He says "When Obama won, Muslims in Africa and elsewhere rejoiced. No surprise..." Before the election if that "conservative talk show host" had suggested that Arabs would rejoice at his election Matthews would have turned red and spit all over his guests, howling how racist and inappropriate that was. Now, well, No Surprise!
Then this: "Bush was comfortable for them because he was an easy adversary for them." Right, easy. They are dead and his is not. Easy. At least Matthews said he shouldn't have said it. Right,Chrissy, because it was STUPID!
Finally: "All these years that have led to the terrorism, the undercurrent of
rage against the west, us, is the sense that we have disrespected them,
their culture, we have looked down on them." Oh! Is that why these Islamic murderers have been killing non-Muslims for years. Have they really hi-jacked a peaceful religion or is this what the Imams are teaching their flocks is the true message of Muhammad? Are they killing westerners because we disrespected them, Chris?
Oh, please. The last
November 30, 2008 - 16:46 ET by motherbeltOh, please. The last thing we want is a President who makes Muslims in Africa and the Middle East rejoice.
I don't think it matters two figs to them if America finally has a black President, for the sake of equality or any social construct.
If they are happy about him it can only be because they think they will get favorable treatment from him. I'm not saying that they will get it; but they have to be thinking that they will. Why else would they care?
"Why else would they
November 30, 2008 - 16:50 ET by GregE"Why else would they care?"
Maybe they're racists. ;-)
Muslim extremists ...
November 30, 2008 - 17:35 ET by SentryDanMuslim extremists have been killing and enslaving people for centuries. If we look at the figures, these murderers have killed or enslaved more that 120 million people and it could be as high as 200 million people. That would be more than Hitler and Stalin combined, right?
Blacks keep trying to put the blame for slavery on whites. Whites certainly didn't help, but the blame really belongs to blacks and Muslims.
And now people (fools and this includes those in the MSM) have placed their faith in a man who has no accomplishments, no character, and no honor. For "The Chosen One" has promised them change. We don't know what kind of change but we have been promise it.
We would have had change whether Obama promised it or not. With every new president there is always some kind of change, he doesn't have to promise it.
And as far as Obama being responsible for anything (such as the increase in the DOW or good sales on Black Friday), well, he ain't responsible for jack s**t.
Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It has been bought with the blood and sacrifice on the men and women who serve and have served in the U.S. Military Services.

November 30, 2008 - 18:19 ET by bigtimerHardball has been preempted here for quite a few weeks now, as to what I just read, I am very grateful for that at the moment, I would've wanted to go through the television screen, these are very people who threw the race card out there every chance they could, not using his middle name, now saying things like the world will love us now, al Queda is going to back down, (yeah right...when pigs fly) because O is black is absolutely UNBEARABLE, INFURIATING, DESPICABLE, and a LIE!
By the way, now that we can mention his middle name again, do we have to run it by McC first to verify that...plus his big ears, must be safe territory to mention also, maybe we should check in with MoDo first to see about that too.
The majority of the msm are nothing but filthy creatures who are going to be the destruction of this country if they get the chance...and they are well on their way now...big-time.
Btw...Whittaker is a real peice of work, he does fit right in though, obvious he is just another part of the problem as far as me being able to even watch much of any NBC or sister stations anymore...can't do it...franly, I don't see all that much difference between him or Russert at all, politically speaking and what they did on msnbc anyway.

Memo to Whitaker, Ignatius, Kay, and Matthews
November 30, 2008 - 21:09 ET by Mike BrattonYour racism is abhorrent.
It is what Dr. King campaigned against.
Character is the only measure of legitimacy; skin color has precisely nothing to do with it, unless you embrace racism.
This is why Obama, as things stand, will do his dead-level best to wreck the country. He is an empty suit, devoid of character, and his backers consist primarily of cultists and racists.

Or OB could change his name to Nikita Kruschev so that the Russians stop threatening Georgia.
Frankly I am really puzzled that America has voted in a Muslim with a scary name for President! What were they thinking.
It wouldn't happen in any other Western Country.
What is in some peoples heads?
December 1, 2008 - 04:50 ET by Chattychitothis man doesn't know what he is saying.
That is by far the most racist thing I have ever heard.
Skin color doesn't give you legitimacy. you have to earn that. I wouldn't give to any man no matter what his color was unless he has proven himself first.
It is like respect you give it the first time free. If a man looses your respect then he has to earn it. But I don't respect or disrespect people because of their skin color.
Nor does skin color give any man legitimacy. you may give it to him freely the first time. but if he blows it then he will have to earn it at a high cost.
"Isn't that racist? Isn't
December 1, 2008 - 07:36 ET by Indiana Joe"Isn't that racist? Isn't suggesting that someone is better or more 'legitimate' solely because of the color of his or her skin a tremendously offensive concept?"
Obviously, Noel, you didn't get the memo. You're still suffering the delusion of the old paradigm. See, now, it's not racist to claim racial differences as long as you're claiming that difference to be a good difference (and you're not talking about the "white" race, of course). Claiming a "person of color" is superior to "whitey" is a good thing. And it's been too long in coming, just ask anyone on this panel.
It is now okay to claim that "all black people are good dancers," because it's a compliment. But it is not okay to say something like "all black people" if what follows is not complimentary. Even if it's more or less neutral, as in "like watermelon," that's BAD racism. But if it is a positive assumption, then it's GOOD racism. It's really not racism at all, it's more of an "awakening," or maybe an "obvious reality."
Isn't it wonderful how far "race relations" have come in this country? Nowadays, Jimmy the Greek could have probably gotten a promotion for his comment about how blacks are superior athletes, instead of getting fired for it. How "color-blinded" all us "crackers" were about what MLKjr. truly meant.
