When Barack Obama visited Fayeyyeville N.C. "One woman yelled, “Socialist, Socialist, Socialist — get out of here.”
According to Caren Bohan, who covered Obama's visit to North Carolina restaurant, the woman is Diane Fanning, 54, who according to the report "was among several patrons who had just come by after services at the local Presbyterian church. She said she was annoyed that the Illinois senator had stopped in at the restaurant that she regularly visits."
The audience was suprised that even when Obama went to Fanning's table and extended his hand towards her, she did not shake his hand. Nobody has the right to shake somebody's hand and Fanning should not be blamed for not doing so. What bothers me, however, is the fact that we were told that Obama was a Muslim, then terrorist, and now socialist.
I am a Christian and I am highly disappointed by my sister Fanning. How can she justify her anger towards Obama just minutes after worshiping Christ? Christ taught us to love even our enemies and if Obama is that bad, Fanning should have extended her love towards him. Our enemies can change simply through loving them.
In addition, Obama has not done anything to deserves her harsh words. Running for president is not a sin that would make somebody hate him so much. After all, Fanning had the right to reject Obama through the Ballot.
Here is my take on the entire story. Being annoyed that somebody has come to the restaurant Diane Fanning regularly visits does not make sense. The point of Fanning's unspoken truth is hatred she holds against black people. Or maybe, it is that Fanning is a racist who thinks that a black person has no right to enter what was once a white man's place. What a joke! I thought that we have moved so much in our race relations but Fanning does not think that way.
