Thomas Sowell on Barack Obama

Here’s Thomas Sowell, Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow at The Hoover Institution, on why conservatives ought not be swayed by “...no more serious reasons than his mouth and his complexion.”

Here is a man who has consistently aided and abetted people who have openly expressed their contempt for this country, both in words and in such deeds as planting bombs to advance their left-wing agenda.
Despite the spin that judging Obama by what was said or done by such people would be “guilt by association,” he has not just associated with such people. He has in some cases donated some serious money of his own and even more of the taxpayers’ money, as both a state senator in Illinois and a member of the U.S. Senate.
Barack Obama is on record as favoring the kinds of justices who make policy, not just carry out laws. No matter how he may “refine” his position on this issue, he voted against the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts, who was easily confirmed by more than three-quarters of the Senators.

Obama is to the far left of his party, not just the country. Hope must have a basis in truth, or it is a false hope. His vote against Chief Justice Roberts is indicative of the type of judges Obama would appoint for life.
