I ain’t got time to sit down with your monkey behind for two are three days, let alone the President if the United States. We got three wars going on the economy is crashing, and we going to sit with Tavis’ ass for three days?” Harvey also alluded to a more sinister motive for the West, Smiley Poverty Tour asking, “Where are you getting the money for the buses?”<br />The black political rift began many months ago when Tavis Smiley and Al Sharpton traded political barbs on their respective radio shows, and it quickly escalated into a public confrontation on the radio airways. The rift between the two men centered on a critique by Smiley that Sharpton was carry water for president Obama, and was letting him (the president) off the hook concerning advancing the “black agenda.” Sharpton responded in kind to Smiley’s political critique, and the controversy quickly became politically airborne.

Had Barack Hussein Obama been on this issue where Hillary Rodham Clinton stood I would have voted for her. <br /><br />Obama passed over the opportunity to select a Secretary of Defense who was a peace advocate, not a war merchant. The Secretary of the Treasury could have been a person like Maxine Waters. She is as qualified for that post as Leon Panetta is to be Secretary of Defense. <br /><br />It seems that Obama has a penchant for selecting 'club members.' If that was his direction an honest broker would have said so. So, con me once shame on you, con me twice <br />shame on me. No more Obama. That is a "change I can believe in."Buslesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075358017992579076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125624556311404503.post-43574698902376851102011-09-29T16:37:50.430-04:002011-09-29T16:37:50.430-04:00When you state .."He fails to explore the pos...When you state .."He fails to explore the possibility that these critiques of President Obama are not comparing him to some baseless abstract standard. In most instances this “anxiety” is based upon a comparison of Obama to Obama."<br /><br />How about the possibility that we should compare President Obama to his predecessors.. particularly the other "first black president" bill clinton who black folks and many in the CBC loved. Who also did his fair share to cripple the middle class by pushing for NAFTA and backing cuts to social safety nets that benefited the poor. It's interesting to note that Obamas most vocal critics among the "black elite" have been historically ardent Clinton supportersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125624556311404503.post-21467178379845915272011-09-28T18:57:59.263-04:002011-09-28T18:57:59.263-04:00When you learn to understand the machinations of t...When you learn to understand the machinations of the Anglo-elite and realize the grand scale of their power. You will understand that Mr. Obama is serving them and their purposes. These purposes expressly concern "blacks"-Africans, but not in a good way! Whites have never considered "blacks" in a good way!<br />When you understand that they can pick any "black" they want and place him anywhere they want for their own aggrandizement. Then you will understand that Mr. Obama is not there for you in any capacity and you will understand that there is very little you can say or do that will change the outcome of the African American's life in this very white-supremacist racist country! They kill leaders of other countries like they kill our people in the streets and prisons. You can forget about Obama..He is not your friend!WizardGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012402530696563569noreply@blogger.com
