WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama implored black voters on Saturday to restoke the passion they felt for his groundbreaking campaign two years ago and turn out in force this fall to repel Republicans who are ready to "turn back the clock."

In a fiery speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama warned that Republicans hoping to seize control of Congress want "to do what's right politically, instead of what's right - period."

Obama wants to rally the base. May be too little too late. Election still a few weeks away, but the polls are devastating for Dems. and the president.

I don’t understand how you can tell the truth by looking at a clock, but it’s Obama, so you have to take that with a grain of salt. If he wants a specific date to turn back to, how about April 9, 1865? Then, we could do Reconstruction the RIGHT way, without it leading to Jim Crow and the Progressives, and 100 years of big government.

One can only hope. We can’t stop trying now. Monitor for voter fraud, bring camcorders and phone cams to the polls.
Thx!

I guess he doesn’t want the white dems to vote, just the blacks, which is good. If that happens we are assured a victory across the board. What a racist pig.

He came as a waiter? LOL

That reminds me. I worked with a guy once, really smart, we just loved him. He could be a pain sometime but overall a great guy.

He was black but probably mostly white. One Monday he came to work and told me how over the weekend he had gone to a wedding at the Carlisle Hotel in NYC. It was a semi-formal wedding and he was wearing black tie. He went to the men’s room and on the way back he was mistaken for a waiter.

This guy had a Ph.D, he was very smart. We laughed so hard. Unfortunately on some level I’m not sure it was that funny to him.
