Obama: The Grudge President?

It's not likely that Obama's stupid comment about the Cambridge Police acting "stupidly" was based in racial bias on his part. If there were anything racial about it, it was more probably racial blindness -- Obama being blinded to any perspective beyond the racial grievance politics he's milked on the street and absorbed from the pew.

But there's another theory. We all know that his friends live on a knife's edge, fodder to be thrown under the bus to cushion the bumps of his presidency. Would a man who treats his friends so shabbily hold even more contempt for his enemies? Could he be a serial grudge-holder? That would explain a lot about his Cambridge fiasco.

Of course, the two could be related. The racial grievance mindset is largely built on an inability or unwillingness to let go of the past -- holding on to injuries and perceived slights until every incident becomes a thread in a warped tapestry of hate and mistrust.

Could it be that the same syndrome bedeviling liberal pie-in-the-sky solutions to the Arab/Israeli conflict is alive and well in the White House over something as trivial as a parking ticket? Maybe so. After all, it took months for Obama to call on a reporter from Fox News.
