Summary Borelli, one of the most visible and outspoken black conservatives in the country, argues that Obama's policy overreach has frozen racial tensions in this country. The Left, having introduced the race card to defend Obama from the massive unpopularity of his policies, has turned a blind eye to the leadership failures that have spread down through black career politicians who are causing a cycle of oppression in America. She demands that new black leaders abandon the false rhetoric and inexcusable lies of so-called progressive politics.
