Black activists from Chicago — perhaps the president’s most obvious supporters — savaged President Obama after his State of the Union Tuesday, expressing abject frustration at an administration that “doesn’t care” and “ain’t never done anything for the community.”
Rebel Pundit interviewed the small group of black community organizers moments after the conclusion of the president’s address on Tuesday. The activists universally panned the speech, which one referred to as “the same old, same old. A bunch of talk. A bunch of talk and rhetoric to give faith to a dying economy in America.”
A young woman claimed the State of the Union confirmed “the lack of involvement, the lack of concern for our community. He doesn’t care.” Another declared that President Obama “has been more hurtful to the black race than he has been helpful. For a lot of symbolic reasons a lot of people accept that — or should I say, most well-to-do blacks or those that think they’re better off — they accept that for symbolic reasons. But those of us at the bottom of the ladder, they don’t accept that.”

Hopefully, all these disgusted and disgruntled people will stay home in November or send Dick Durbin packing!
Maybe they’ll figure out what my ninth graders know- hes not black

Bammy organized the ‘hood to vote for himself. What more do they want?
How stupid can you be. They need to look at why they supported him in the first place. They need to look at why they were played for fools.
Only after they figure out that their devotion to Obama was purely racial without critical thinking will they be free of what has burdened American Blacks for hundred of years.
he’s not black
but ANYWAY, he has kept millions of black people on the Dependency Plantation while blocking most possible paths by which they might improve their situations. And, he has set race relations back at least 75 years by his own pronounced racism (and anti-Christian and anti-Jewish attitudes) and his contemptuous attitudes toward most American citizens generally, ...and by the racism of his assistant Mr. Holder (hey, it’s supposed to be the EQUAL protection of the laws!)...
so.. yes, the blacks who are making noise about him have good cause... (sorry to have to say)...
> Maybe they’ll figure out what my ninth graders know- hes not black
He even mkes me hate white people and I’m white!
Whatever. They’d vote for him again tomorrow. Next.
Beat me to it. GMTA
Hey no one has taken grander vacations than the zero clan so there is that.
These folks said they didn’t vote for him in the first place. They said as a senator he did not do anything. these are informed voters, just to bad they are the minority.
“Whatever. They’d vote for him again tomorrow. Next”
So true.
Well, if they are on our side, they had a unique opportunity to thwart him. Of course many have tried to thwart the Kenyan and have failed.
I hope blacks remember this next time when ALL blacks vote for a black man just because he is black ( 1/2 black at least )
This group of people see Obama for what he is, not what he wants others to think he is.
When are one of them going to wake up and say, "You know, generational dependency and broken families and violent crime isn't worth it. I'm just going to go out there, and be the best I can be without government assistance or black 'leaders' holding my hand."
Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policyExplosive Video, Fannie Mae CEO calling Obama and the Dems the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."
