We want an angry Obama?

I saw this article and thought the title was interesting.  I continued to read it, and I am now utterly confused.  Why on earth do you want your president to be angry?  Moreover, why is CNN using the “angry black man” card?  Yes, Americans are angry.  I’m angry.  But do you know what?  Anger typically clouds your vision.  Clearly, Obama has applied that to the way he handles things.  Actually, this is what I admire about Obama.  He is calm and collected, and his moves are always well-calculated.

I’m not even going to go into how absolutely asinine the “angry black man” quote is.  Actually, I will.  Who wrote this article?  Why on earth is it relevant to bring up fictional depictions of “angry black men”?  More importantly, why are we even making it an issue?  Right now, I’m a confused white guy.

I don’t get it.  I just don’t get it.
