Don't it make my blue eyes brown

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

-- Crystal Gayle, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"

"This crisis was caused by the irrational behavior of white people with blue eyes, who thought they knew everything and now show they know nothing," Brazilian President Lula da Silva said the other day after meeting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, whose eyes, fortunately, are the color of his name.

Orator in Chief Barack Hussein Obama is hard at work making sure that future crises, insofar as the United States is on the playlist, will not be caused by blue-eyed devils. The Leftist Establishment's race for race replacement in the U.S. isn't going quite fast enough to suit them (whites are expected to become a minority only in 2042 at current levels of non-white immigration and fecundity), but in his own kingdom he'll see to it that it happens faster than the blue eye can follow.

In a story it's unlikely any mainstream U.S. news source would report, The Telegraph says:

While Mr Obama has played down the influence of race over his government and policies, Washington is abuzz that the president has handed control of domestic policy, all White House social events, environmental issues and food safety to African American women - seven senior government posts in all....

President Obama used his press conference last week to joke that interest in his own race lasted "about a day" after his election. But below the radar, Mr Obama has been quietly transforming the upper echelons of government. Black woman only hold 192,000 of more than 1.7 million government jobs, making up about one in nine of the federal workforce, but Mr Obama has given them one fifth of the most senior jobs in government.

I have my doubts about that figure of 192,000 XX chromosome blacks out of 1.7 million employees in the federal government. My impression -- admittedly, I haven't counted -- is that there are at least 192,000 in every federal office I've ever visited. Putting that aside, since when does a United States president act "below the radar"? FDR's lend-lease program to help Britain before the U.S. entered World War II was as euphemistic as it gets, but it was out there in plain sight. This is an ethnic Manhattan Project.

But presidents (and this applies not only to Obama; I said the same about Jorge W. Bush-Gonzales) are no longer servants of the people. Along with the federal judiciary, they are our rulers. Congress merely gets to dramatize itself, like the Roman Senate long after the Republic was beyond living memory.

Oh, and then the Muslims-he's-not-one-of, but with whom he has a special understanding, are also to be given a place in his sun. The Denver Post reports:

In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.

The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community." [Emphasis mine.]

Above the radar, speeches and TV talk-show gigs. Below the radar, well, Obama will tell you about it when it's a fait accompli.

Even in the Germany of 1935, it was necessary to apply a coat of legality to promulgate the notorious Nuremberg Laws, which provided for the ethnic classification of the Volk into Aryans and undesirables. From Wikipedia:

After the promulgation of the Nuremberg Laws, Hitler received telegrams of congratulation from all over the Arab and Muslim world, especially from Morocco and Palestine, where the Nazi propaganda had been most active.^[16]. Moreover, because of these, and the thousands of other racial laws promulgated during the Third Reich, a vast bureaucracy developed in Germany for the determination of people's "racial acceptability."^[17].

The Orator in Chief don't need no stinkin' laws. He's the Man.
