Mofo Politics ^
Posted on 08/21/2014 2:52:03 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal
Joshua DuBois is the author of The President’s Devotional: The Daily Readings that Inspired President Obama and Stories of Faith in the White House.
Dubois headed the Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships during Obama’s first term.
And he’s a buffoon…
Chris Matthews: What about the kid who begins to start thinking about his life in his mid-teens…and he’s thinking, ‘where am I going in this world?’
(SNIP)
Dubois: I’m gonna say to him, ‘tap into your inherent creativity and your inherent strengths’. Cuz he may be a poet. He may express that poetry in terms of rap music.
…
Matthews: Where’s the money in that?

I think Nancy Pelosi was pushing the type of career path, not very long ago. Allowing people to collect money for being creative and not tied down to real jobs, etc.

WEB DuBois was a communist, racist agitator and founder of the racist NAACP.
Is this individual related?

LOL. I guess Matthews still has a few lucid brain cells in his head.

I picked up some great poems today from a street poem vendor. I got three for a buck fifty.
