It's not about race

Tim Coburn, Repub Senator from OK, on President Obama (Tulsa World via TPM):

Responding to a man in Langley who asked if Obama "wants to destroy America," Coburn said the president is "very bright" and loves his country but has a political philosophy that is "goofy and wrong."

Obama's "intent is not to destroy, his intent is to create dependency because it worked so well for him," he said.

"As an African-American male," Coburn said, Obama received "tremendous advantage from a lot of these programs."

Yes, I was just telling a friend of mine the other day how lucky he was to be black.

I didn't really understand his response.
