Tim Cavanaugh notes an interesting example of our President’s much-vaunted pragmatism, as retroactively applied to the Emancipation Proclamation:
Obama applauds Lincoln for trading away the moral goal (ending state-sponsored slavery) in the pursuit of strictly procedural goals (maintaining the geographical integrity of the nation-state; winning a war) that have no moral weight.

Obama has no principles, hence no morals. He would applaud any pragmatic(non-value based) approach to any problem so long as it furthered his goal to establish tyrannical Solcialism(an unprincipled, amoral system).

Might I point out a certain known thing: it wasn't Obama's skin on the block here. This should also be an indicator of his true feeling towards his fellow Blacks, whose economic future he has done his best to destroy. The only reason for a Black guy to vote Obama in 2012 is race. Economically, socially, he has been a disaster for Blacks.
