Rupert Murdock: Ben Carson Would Be A Real Black President

Source: CNN Money




Rupert Murdoch, one of the world's most powerful media moguls, posted a tweet Wednesday night that seemingly questioned whether President Obama is a "real black president."

The tweet ricocheted around the web and was widely denounced.

Murdoch's tweet was championing Ben Carson, a Republican who is the only African-American candidate in the presidential race.

"Ben and Candy Carson terrific," he wrote. "What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else."

This was not the smartest thing to say. But it truly defines him.
Even toilets think he is shit.

That was one of the GOP's biggest beefs about President Obama. When he first got into office they wanted him to come to Capitol Hill to explain to him "how things work," i.e., what he was expected to do (sit down, shut up and let the GOP drive).

Obama didn't take the bait.
