YOUNG VOICES

Obama a Racist?
by Sean Nixon

Glenn Beck thinks Barack Obama is a racist. No, honestly, it's what he said.

The former CNN Headline News show host, now with FOX cable news, made the remark on a FOX program Tuesday. David Bauder, a writer for the Associated Press, writes that Beck's remarks stem from the recent attention surrounding the Cambridge police department and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.

In today's world, it's not uncommon to hear some really hair-trigger remarks over the airwaves, especially on cable television. Was this too much, however, or just another day in the life of all things FOX news channel?

Do you agree with Glenn Beck? Is President Obama a racist?
