RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - JOHN SUNUNU: YOU ARE THE UN-AMERICAN!!

John Sununu should remind all who have read Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart” of Enoch, the outcast convert to Christianity. Enoch unmasked Egwugwu, a masquerade. Enoch sought to be more Christian than Mr. Smith, the European missionary who converted him to Christianity.

Obama trumps Sununu as an American.  Obama is an American by birth.  Sununu is not. Sununu was born in Havana, Cuba, of Lebanese parents. He is an immigrant and  naturalized American citizen. Sununu knows very well that Obama has deeper roots in the United States than he will ever have. His way to make up for his “deficiency” is to pretend to be more American than a native born American who was sworn in as  president after a popular landslide election victory.  One wonders how American Sununu is? Does anyone remember that he was disgraced out of office as President George W. Bush’s Chief of Staff? How American was his conduct in the said appointed position such that he had to leave the office with his tail between his legs?

Colin Powell is a true and respected American hero. I remember a conversation I had with a work colleague of mine who was in the Ukraine on 9/11/2001, on his return to the United States. This colleague told me that after his daughter informed him by telephone about the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center Towers in New York, and he saw the attacks on Ukrainian TV, he feared for the United States and what the president at the time might do? He then said that that he felt better when he remembered that Colin Powell was a senior member of the president’s cabinet.

Sununu seeks to discredit General Colin Powell for supporting Obama’s re-election as president. Colin Powel, the accomplished, distinguished, and true American that he is, respects Sununu’s  right to support any candidate of his choice in America’s elections. Colin Powell has no problem with that.  Why should Sununu have a problem with Colin Powell’s choice? Why does Sununu judge him? Is that how to be American? Does Sununu know how to be American?

Sununu asserts that the Colin Powell’s motivation might be racial even after the general had as he always does, carefully explained in detail, why he supports Obama’s re-election. Could it not be said that Sununu opposes Obama’s re-election for racial reasons and that his motivation for supporting Romney for president is racial?

Sununu in his retraction of his racial motivation statements claimed Colin Powell as a friend of his. A friend would be expected to speak with their friend before publicly alleging racial motivation in their friend in an country with the United States shameful racist history. Does anyone believe that Sununu, a former senator and state governor, is unaware that race is a highly charged emotional subject in this country? Colin Powell knows now that with friends like Sununu, he does not need enemies.

Sununu continues to come across as one man who looks in a perfect mirror and does not see his image staring at him. The question is why does he not? It is not likely that Sununu is ignorant or stupid. Sununu seems to be driven by an obnoxious agenda in bad conscience. He is also very like Enoch. He knows who he is. He is unhappy with who he is. He wishes he is not who he is. His only recourse is to try to tell Americans who is American even when he does not know how to be one. Given the challenges of the Romney campaign, Sununu is a perfect surrogate, I am sorry, tool of the Romney campaign.

JOHN SUNUNU: You Are the Un-American!!

October 26, 2012 By conyeani Leave a Comment

 

John Sununu has been the most racially charged angry man against President Obama.  Then you look around and see why Sununu is so angry at the President.  The anger is purely based on the fact that John Sununu can never smell the presidency of the United States of America.  At 73, he is already too old, added to the fact that he was born in Havana, Cuba.  That is his whole anger at President Obama.  Obama is President and Commander in Chief of the United States of America; Sununu can never smell it, try as much as he can.
