Why did Obama call for the firing of John Tanner, a champion of civil rights?When his statements seems to agree with Rev Wright and Obama's? (aids/asthma)
"That's a shame, you know, creating problems for elderly persons just is not good under any circumstance," Tanner said, according to video posted on YouTube. "Of course, that also ties into the racial aspect because our society is such that minorities don't become elderly the way white people do. They die first.
"There are inequities in health care. There are a variety of inequities in this country, and so anything that disproportionately impacts the elderly has the opposite impact on minorities. Just the math is such as that," Tanner said.

In a letter to the Justice Department, sent Friday, Obama called Tanner's remarks a disgrace and asked Acting Attorney General Peter D. Keisler to dismiss him.
"Such comments are patently erroneous, offensive and dangerous, and they are especially troubling coming from the federal off
Mr. Tanner is an attorney who works to protect civil rights on a daily basis," Ablin said, adding that the official had won numerous awards from African-American groups. "Nothing in his comments deviated from his firm commitment to enforce the law, and it is unfortunate that they have been so grossly misconstrued."
The reason for the question is to see if anyone else can see the hypocrisy that Barry is full of, he calls for Don Imus to be fired, he calls for Mr. Tanner to be fired, while still holding hands with Rev Jerry and of course his lovely (sarcasm) wife.

Because his political beliefs didn't line up with his.

obama is just mad that he had to throw his church and long life friend and mentor under the bus.
so he wants all others to feel his pain and be fired!
obama is such a child!

He's hardly a champion of civil rights. Get real, he's made blatantly racist comments, saying that voting ID laws aren't bad for minorities because they die sooner. He voted to uphold Georgia's voter ID laws, which hurt poorer voters, many of which are minorities.

Why do you even listen to what Obama says at this point. I tuned him and CNN out a long time ago, right around the time his campaign and CNN called Bill Clinton a racist.
