After being called the "N" word his entire presidency, President Obama uses it

++President Obama gave an interview covering racism on a private radio station in a garage. He was whimsical in that the station was near his college, Occidental, and said he would never have dreamed he would be President and give an interview in a garage studio. 

++But then the outrage begins. President Obama reminded us that while it is no longer OK to use the "N" word in public that does not mean racism has disappeared from America. It exists in structures and a culture after several hundred years. Point Taken.

++Since the Right have gone into contortions to explain away the killing at Mother Emmanuel,they jumped on President Obama as "rapper-in-chief" and just trying to polarize America as we are now united in mourning the slain at Mother Emmanuel. Who's we white man? 

++President Obama will eulogize Clementa Pinckney at his funeral. Pinckney and Obama were sold friends. I am sure the President will be accused of pandering.

++Speaking of pandering,the GOP presidential candidates did flip-flops on the confederate flag today. It was like dominos--seeing Jeb,Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham reverse course to demand that the flag be taken down. Jeb even admitted the killings were racist. Gov. Haley also said that the flag must be removed from in front of the capital. 

++The killer's inspiration--the CCC--it turns out gave donations to this year's presidential candidates. Scott Walker,Rand Paul, Marco Rubio all have said they would return the money.

++As the tide turned on the confederacy, Rush Limbaugh reminded his audience that the flag used to be supported by the Democrats. Fox News even had a guest saying why is it that Republicans defend a Democratic flag? Anyone hear about the Republican Southern Strategy? 

++So the killing were all the Democrats and Obama's fault. Amazing spin. So quick it makes your head explode. 

++Remember the Southern Avenger who used to work for Rand Paul. He said he was mistaken and had thought the confederate flag was about heritage but he was wrong. Remember when Rachel Maddow revealed his identity a few years ago.
