Obama Sends A Direct Message To Rush Limbaugh [VIDEO] In a recent interview with Fox News, Rush Limbaugh slammed President Obama for their opinions on the matters of race relations. Theres no acknowledgement of any of the progress. If you listen to these people, the president, the mayor of New York, youd think it was two hundred years ago, Limbaugh told viewers. Youd think we hadnt even started working on these problems, and thats not true. Shortly after the interview, Obama responded to the claims on BET. This isnt something thats going to be solved overnight, he said. This is something that is deeply rooted in our society; its deeply rooted in our history. Still, the president acknowledged that we have made progress when it comes to matters of race. As painful as these incidents are, we cant equate what is happening now to what happened 50 years ago. If you talk to your parents, your grandparents, uncles, theyll tell you things are better. Not good, in some cases, but better. And the reason its important to understand that progress has been made is that it then gives us hope we can make even more progress. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think about Obamas comments. Is he listening to his own advice?
