Barack Obama says he would not have nominated Clarence Thomas because he didn’t have enough "experience." Maybe Obama needs to look in the mirror.

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.

That was Obama parroting the left’s talking point on Thomas, the successful and Black conservative.
What was really distressing to me and revealing about Obama’s ignorance and/or inexperience, was what he said to be THE most important job of the Supreme Court. One would expect an answer like, to render decisions on cases brought before it based on the U.S. Constitution. But that wasn’t his (the liberal’s) answer.
This was his response:
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JOBS OF I BELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT IS TO GUARD AGAINST THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ON THE POWER OF THE OTHER BRANCHES AND I THINK THAT HE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT TOO WILLING AND TOO EAGER TO GIVE AN ADMINISTRATION WHETHER IT’S MINE OR GEORGE BUSH’S MORE POWER THAN I THINK THE CONSTITUTION ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
His answer just confirms what conservatives have been saying about liberals all along, that they intend to use the courts to do the job that the legislature can’t, especially when a Republican is in the White House.
Hi, Ross, and welcome to FHK. It does seem that Obama has been bitten with the BDS (Bush-derangement-syndrome) bug, doesn’t it?
Only a died-in-the-wool libtard could turn a question about supreme court judges into a referendum on the Patriot Act.
It’s also interesting that he compared himself to George Bush, rather than McCain.
