Ben Stein Blasts President Obama for “Hatred of America”: Asks If It’s Because “He’s Black"

President Barack Obama appears to be making quite a few enemies during his last year in office. Adding himself onto the totem pole of right wingers who outspokenly blast the POTUS is Ben Stein. The former Win Ben Stein's Money star recently noted that he believes there to be no question that the President "doesn't wish America well" and that he has a strong "hatred for America." With that, he's curious as to why. And, for some reason, he wonders if it's because the President is "part black."

The remarks came during a brief interview with Newsmax's Steve Malzberg. The conservative reportedly spoke to Rush Limbaugh's comment that the President is a "bad joke" on America. To which he firmly agreed.

"I think the question is why is [President Obama] so angry at America? I don't think there's much question that he does not wish America well. He has a real strong hatred of America. Now, is it because he's part black? I don't know. Is it because he thought his father was mistreated by the British in Kenya? I don't know."

Naturally, this isn't the only direct attack against the President as of late. Just yesterday, it was reported that GOP presidential hopeful, Sen. Ted Cruz, called out Obama for some comments he's made against Cruz's idea for the Syrian refugees.

Cruz reportedly believes we should let in the Syrian Christians, but not the Muslims, as we do not know whether or not the latter have direct ties with ISIS or other terrorist groups. To that, Obama allegedly called the idea "shameful" – noting that the United States does not "have religious tests to our compassion."

With that comment, as well as being called "un-American" and "offensive" by the President, Cruz officially challenged him to a debate over Syrian refugees.
