On Monday night urban radio show host Tavis Smiley told Megyn Kelly Barack Obama has failed black Americans as president.
Megyn Kelly: On the subject of race, are we better off today that seven years ago?
Tavis Smiley: I'm not sure we are and I think ultimately the president missed a moment... On every leading economic issue, in the leading economic issues Black Americans have lost ground in every one of those leading categories. So in the last ten years it hasn't been good for black folk. This is the president's most loyal constituency that didn't gain any ground in that period.

Tavis Smiley? Go to hell. You’ve been one of his biggest trumpeters for these past few years. You’re a jackass at the highest level. And I, as a taxpayer, have to pay your NPR salary.
everyone but the top earners and Wall Street have either lost ground or remained neutral in every economic indicator under Obama. He has been an incredible failure to everyone but himself.
Da Blacks done got used... again, by the Democrats.
“Thanks, and remember to keep voting for use so those racist Republicans don’t get you!”
Thanks Trav
His NPR PBS salary is enough that he has a $10 million net worth.
I’ll give it to Trav, he pretty much summed up the 7 years of the shuck and jive presidentcy.
At some point in 2012....someone analyzed PBS and their top twenty employees. Several of the ‘talkers’ for radio programs were easily making $400,000 a year. I just look at it...they might deserve it if they were commercial operations, but this is all public TV. Someone should reset the whole thing and make the “CEO” of PBS limited to $150k a year max, and employees reset to lesser levels.
Yeah, and if you had it to do all over again, you’d still vote for Obama.
Would somebody tell this guy to STFU!
And then went on to mouth every whiny victim card “its not our fault” platitude and slogan. I got up and left the room. He is a prime example of everything that is wrong with “black Leadership”. They are a root cause to the problems in the black coumunity with their “oh poor us victims” mentality
Meghan Kelly were having such a good time
Met him at a party a few weeks ago and had this same conversation. I congratulated him on having the testicular fortitude to say that the emperor has no clothes.
Yes, but he’s learned nothing.
Here’s one of the comments at the site worth repeating:
“Karma, Tavis... you rotten racist pig. Every time I tuned in to your show for the past decade, you were bashing white conservatives and deifying your black Messiah, making excuses for his endless ineptitude. The day Obama got elected, you literally wept for joy... not because a decent and competent man had been elected; but only because he was black. Suffer the fate of an ignorant hypocrite... you and Obama deserve each other”
We all know ole Travis baby would vote for Bammy again just so he could have another chance to make things right. He’d get it right next time and if not well just give him one more shot. Best out of a hundred. That, in his mind, would be fair for the first black president. People like Travis, and there are millions of them black and white, will never come to real truth.
President Obama: ‘There Are No Existential Threats’ to the United States

Barack ObamaIn an interview with NBC’s Today on the morning of his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama told interviewer Matt Lauer that the United States didn’t face a single existential threat as his presidency approached its end.
“It is sometimes important for people to step back and measure how far we’ve come,” Obama argued. “The economy right now is better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us.”

Putting a cap on overpaid PBS types would suit me. I was in public TV for years and what some of the useless ones at the state level was absurd.
Just defund the darn thing and make them compete in the market like everyone else.

In other words, Obama was not Leftist enough; he didn’t tax those white fat cats nearly enough. What we need is even more free sh!t.
