A reminder of some recent thoughts by a few of America’s most cogent, honest, insightful, moderate and considered black representatives:

The New Black Panther party weighs in as well:
That “said,” Mr Obama realized he needed to repair his relations with the black community.
Therefore, he held a lunch in New York City’s Harlem district on Monday this week (03-28-11), with fundraising taking a back seat. He felt it was necessary to be seen and heard by his base black constituency and — resultingly — he was. Conversely, he wanted to listen to and observe the common black voters of Harlem in order to better understand the issues and concerns of poor black America.
With one slight exception that few if any in the MSM/DEM have the cojones to point out:
Uh, no. Mr Obama went to Harlem specifically to fundraise for his second term. He used Harlem, instead, as a frontispiece to placate and take advantage of the Ignorant Black Vote. Because the facts, instead, are these:
Mr Obama’s visit was in fact a fundraiser. For only $30,800, you could have had lunch with Mr Obama at the Red Rooster on Lenox Avenue near 125th Street (looks like “poor” Harlem has gentrified to me). And color wouldn’t have truly mattered unless the base color was green. Green clearly trumps black.
As you might guess, local black Harlem residents couldn’t quite afford to pony up that kind of cha-ching:
President Barack Obama will fundraise in Harlem today, but many uptown residents grumble that they can’t afford to see him. The president’s hosting a $30,800-a-head fundraiser at Red Rooster on Lenox Avenue, near 125th Street.
“I think that’s ridiculous,” said Hope Cameron, 52, a stay-at-home mom who lives nearby. “In Harlem, who has that kind of money?”
Others near the restaurant yesterday afternoon echoed her sentiment — even as many said they like Obama.
“I’m an Obama fan but I won’t see him for that,” Lenny Bembry, 53, told Metro.
“I think it’s ridiculous,” added Maurice Lenin, 45, who had just balked at spending $10 on Chinese for lunch. “Harlem has been messed up since way back in the day and now they’re wanting to charge us $30,000?”
“He should be eating with us for free,” Lenin added.
Huh. Imagine that. Mr Obama may in fact be a regular politician who couldn’t give one whit less about poor blacks — unless they can kick down a good $30K for his re-election campaign.
On the other hand, that’s NOT how his “lunch” will be portrayed by the GOWP media.
Damn! I hate it when a good Second Coming turns out to be a racial Socialist who wets his pants at night like the rest of us. In the quiet. In the dark.

Obama is a pussy. Only his handlers tell where to go and what to do.
A dog and pony show, nothing more.
We ALL know this now, and thusly the fake that he is, is now apparent to all.
He will not be re-elected in 2012. He will be lucky to make it to there with all the “birth-er” problems coming to fruition.
Reminds me of the GDR. German Democratic Republic. Remember East Germany? What a name use for a fake Democracy, as it was totally Russian communists and socialists.
Mr C: one day you’ll come out of your shell and express what you truly feel.
That said, I can only hope there are a sufficient number of persons who see through his mask — but — in this country, DON’T count on it.

He learned his politics in Chicago. Don’t discount him and the thieves he runs with. They have perfected their scams over many years.
As an aside:
I am SO glad that I have Comment Moderation ON —
I don’t know about the rest of you, but my SPAM input has increased geometrically.
I guess the Spammers have found my site.
Have they — I ask — found YOURS?

Obama’s brothers in hate of America are all in a tizzy about his latest gaff. You and I among others have stated where we would be after a couple of years of Obama.. Here we are…
IF the MSM had done it’s job Obama wouldn’t be in power, IF the GOP wouldn’t have been so sad WE wouldn’t be here. Blame goes all over.
Spam? Yeah we had a little problem with them. But in WP there are great tools for dealing with it
Re. spam.
When I post anything about the birth certificate I get the same loonies responding with the same old talking points and ridicule, but no facts.
And yes, thank goodness Blogger also has a way to deal with them that also puts a smile on your face…
DELETE!!!
Obama is a typical asshole Black Dem, throw in a love of Islam and Socialism, Obama wants to fuck America over, ALL people, of ALL races…
Hope and Change… Yeah, right…
Robert: as Greybeard points out, the DELETE button is eminently satisfying.
Greybeard: oddly enough, Mr Trump is posing the certificate question.
TF: the clouds appear to be parting for the left of the Left. Mr Obama has gotten us into a THIRD war. Why, that just doesn’t seem right, does it?
