"Obama’s life story is 180 degrees opposite to Scott’s, but Obama feels he has the right to talk about the Black experience in America? Obama has been handed everything his entire life and never even associated with Blacks until he needed their votes."
"Tim Scott, gentleman that he is, responded: "Whenever the Democrats feel threatened, they pull out -- drag out -- the former President (Obama), have him make some negative comments about someone running, hoping that their numbers go down.”
"Obama said recently in an interview with David Axelrod that people, like Scott, fail to qualify their optimism of opportunities in America for ethnic minorities with “an honest accounting of our past and our present.”
"Why Obama feels he can attack Scott is beyond me. Scott is actually a Black man; Obama is not. He was not the first Black president because we have never had a Black president. Has everyone forgotten that his mother was White? That makes Obama the first biracial president.
"Scott was born in South Carolina. His parents divorced when he was seven, leaving him and his brother to grow up in working-class poverty, along with their mother. They moved into his maternal grandparent’s house. He was raised under the good influences of his grandfather and also a man who owned a nearby Chick-fil-A restaurant.
"Scott’s life story is that of the American dream: work hard and anyone can succeed -- regardless of color." . . .
