Read the biography of Dr. Ben Carson or Booker T. Washington, dimwit. Few people were dealt a worse hand to start out life and accomplished what they did.
Did the man posing as president really use this juvenile double negative?
Once again this vile minister of hate delivers his venom to the stupid.
obama is proof that neither skill nor brains have anything to do with your station in life.
Yeah, it’s reprehensible, but he was talking to the graduates at Howard, many of whom will benefit from affirmative action programs. If they do, their success will be largely due to external factors. So, reprehensible, but accurate in context.
“Did the man posing as president really use this juvenile double negative?”
Big Media usually cleans these things up for their god in the speech transcripts, addin’ “g”’s to his words when necessary, etc, but YES, the Fraud really said this.

...We can’t just lock up a low-level dealer without asking why this boy, barely out of childhood....
Oh yes we can. It’s not a mistake, which criminals usually tell the judge. It’s a conscious decision that is wrong. It is a criminal decision.
Lack of dad in the hone. We cant do qnything about that. Not taking schooling seriously. A personal d!cision. Taking the easy way out. Personal decision. Attitude of the group the dealer runs with? The “ glamor and macho of the thug lifestyle? The glorification of it. The criminal has to want to do what’s right like everyone else. And the criminal must live with the consequences the lifestyle he chooses.
FWIW, I had a friend in the FBI who said just about exactly what you said. Criminals make these decisions because they are easier than playing by the rules like the rest of us.
Gee, I didn’t think it was “luck” that gave this puppet his place in the White House....
“Lack of dad in the hone. We cant do qnything about that. Not taking schooling seriously. A personal d!cision. Taking the easy way out. Personal decision. Attitude of the group the dealer runs with? The “ glamor and macho of the thug lifestyle? The glorification of it. The criminal has to want to do what’s right like everyone else.

Actually, the “progressives” did do quite a bit.
Lack of Dad in the home? Incentivized by “progressive” policies from Welfare to Great Society programs.
Not taking school seriously? Glorification of the “black” thug culture and insistance that bad results in school are because of “racism” has a great deal to do with that. Studying hard in school is consistently derided as “acting white” in most urban black communities, as was shown in Washington, D.C.
Taking the easy way out? See the above, and the attitude that has been pushed that hard work does not gain you anything. Pushed hard by the “Progressive” social justice types.
Obola may well be the most odious, despicable person on the face of the earth. To have this pitiful cliche as our president is about the worst thing I’ve ever seen happen to this country.

Actually I have met some Howard alums, and was very impressed by what bright, articulate people they were.
They deserved better than this swill for their commencement.
“That’s a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don’t realize they’ve been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasn’t nothing you did. So don’t have an attitude.”
Doesn’t this strongly imply that God, not having blessed those who are down on their luck, is racist? That the normal state of affairs is for God to trash human life and make it miserable, and (ignoring the plainly observable fact that there are plenty of white homeless people) only
whites have somehow figured out how to derive Gods’ blessings?
Mind twisting, evil thoughts this guy has for those not on their guard.
Luck is the bastion of the fatalism behind islam. Obama is such a lazy ass muzzie.
Glad to hear it.
The harder you apply yourself, the luckier you get.
Diligence is not merely its own reward. Maybe, if you are of obsessive-compulsive nature, that IS a major objective, but in the course of scrutinizing everything, a good many details that may have been glossed over emerge, and it is in the details that ultimate success is found.
That is what makes great police detectives. And sometimes, crimes of long standing are resolved and finally brought to justice.
2. "We can't just lock up a low-level dealer without asking why this boy, barely out of childhood, felt he had no other options.”
No, he had options. Doing well in school, working his way through college, maybe the military... that's how I did it. He simply took what seemed like the easiest and most immediately lucrative.
