GET OFF THE FUCKING PLANTATION!


Allen West: I’m Here As The Modern Day Harriet Tubman To Lead People Away From The Plantation…

“Well I think Laura when you look at what is happening, the laughable hypocrisy is that the big black bus is not going into the black communities. When you have unemployment in the black community, 16.3% in July and it dropped down to 15.9% in the month of August, that’s not in the right direction. So you have this 21st Century plantation where the democrat party has forever taken the black vote for granted and you have established certain black leaders are nothing more than the overseers of the plantation. And, now the people on that plantation are upset because they’ve been disregarded, disrespected and their concerns are not cared about. So I’m here as the modern day Harriet Tubman to kinda lead people on the underground railroad away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility.”
 
I, am my own problem!

As a KNEE GROW

I DONT SEE IT!

Im not that smart

Im stuck on the plantation

I am always a KNEE GROW

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

“The problem, Waters said, is that Obama is not paying enough attention to the problems of some black Americans. The unemployment rate for African-Americans nationally is a little over 16 percent, and almost twice that in Detroit. And yet, Waters said, the president is on a jobs-promotion trip through the Midwest that does not include any stops in black communities. ‘The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president too,’ Waters said. ‘We’re supportive of the president, but we’re getting tired, y’all. We’re getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he’s prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is. We don’t know why on this trip that he’s in the United States now, he’s not in any black community. We don’t know that.’”
 
The downgrade was supposed to "destroy" us...

Not much effect, but the administration is going to get even:

Do as we say, not as we do!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has sworn off special-interest money to pay for his re-election bid. But it turns out those dollars are fair game for congressional Democrats — to the tune of millions.
[ For complete coverage of politics and policy, go to Yahoo! Politics ]

An Associated Press analysis of campaign fundraising found that Democrats who are trying to regain control of the House next fall have raked in more than $15 million from political action committees this year, raising money from special interests even as Obama, the Democratic standard bearer, promotes his ban on such funds.

More than $1 million of that money flowed to the re-election committees of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.

Democratic leaders gloss over all that when they pressure the GOP presidential candidates to disclose their top donors, and even go so far as to trumpet the fact that Obama's campaign and the DNC don't take money from registered federal lobbyists and political action committees.

"The refusal to accept donations from federal lobbyists and PACs is critical to limiting the influence of special interests in the political process," Wasserman Schultz said in a recent conference call with reporters. "Unfortunately, every single Republican candidate for president today happily accepts donations from lobbyists and PACs."

Yet the checks still flowed to congressional Democrats, AP's analysis found, at roughly the same pace as they did in the last election cycle two years ago. And dozens of House Democrats even raised more interest-group money than they did during first six months in 2009, the most recent comparable period, when adjusted for inflation.

Why should he? They are going to vote for him in lockstep. If they showed ANY independence, he would have to court them and actually do something for them to!

Part of the problem is he's not "authentic" enough...

That's funny.. You cite the President's personal ban on special interest group funding, which he apparently is following. Then try to use the fact that some memebers of congress are not following his personal ban as "Do as I say, not as I do"..

Seems he's doing exactly as he says.. But don't let anything like reality get in the way of your little hate-train.

As far as the downgrade "destroying" us.. How much do you estimate the downgrade is going to cost us in additional interest? Several outfits estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 Billion per year (JP Morgan and S&P) While it may not "destroy" us (I'd love to hear who said that, but I suspect it's one of your straw men), but it damn sure isn't going to help is it?

Finally, the investigation into S&P allegedly improperly rating some mortgage securities higher than they should have leading up to the financial crisis:
I'm sure, like everything else, you see this as some sort of political witch hunt. You seem to paint the federal government with the broad brush of how I can only imagine you personally would react to a downgrade, something you no doubt would see as a personal slight instead of the result of your own actions, with petty vengeance. This seems to be a running theme of yours lately.. So quick to leap to conclusions about someone doing their job, like the DoJ investigating possible improprieties.. or someone reprimanding an employee for sleeping on the job. It all sounds so very personal with you.

He's so clean and articulate...

Remember when he was running on public funding alone?

;) ;) He was going to be free of all influences, like BP, for example?

"It turns out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don't cause spills. They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn't come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore."
Barack Hussein Obama

"Then why the hell did this president, what was it, two weeks after the spill started, signed another waiver for exactly this kind of deep sea drilling, another waiver for the exact same company!"
