Harry Alford, the president of the Black Chamber of Commerce, says that he failed to properly vet Obama before he voted for him in 2008. Alford says that his growing disappointment and growing suspicion of President Obama is based on his secretiveness and placing politics over policy. “I didn’t analyze him. I read his book and he’s talking about using cocaine and all the drugs he could find and I kind of brushed through that. That should have caught my eye.”

...race trumped philosophy (albeit temporarily) in the eyes of the Harry Alfords of the world. "I had hope because he was black. [But he's] hurting my members, my constituents. I had to back off. I had to represent my people." To be blunt, Harry Alford is mad, and he's not going to take it anymore. He's concluded what many of us suspected all along: Barack Obama's hyper-progressivism is bad for black business (and all other colors as well). Obamanomics did not cost the president his job last November. But life for Mr. Alford's members has mostly gotten worse. The indictment...

Three brilliant black leaders are tuning out Obama and the black community needs to tune into these leaders. I’m surfing between the major news networks on a recent evening and I catch FOX News Channel’s Sean Hannity in the middle of an amazing interview with a guest named Harry Alford, the CEO and co-founder of the Black Chamber of Commerce. My jaw drops as Alford essentially calls Obama an anti-business tyrant who is hurting the African American community; he says he voted for Obama in 2008 but now has buyer’s remorse. I get to thinking: Given the choice between Alford...

HANNITY: When you look at demographics, probably we spend too much time breaking things down demographically, we're all Americans, but, you look at the African-American community voted for him 95 plus percent, huge numbers. When you look and breakdown demographics, it's the young people in this country that voted for him in a majority of numbers. African-Americans, minorities, [seem] to be hurt the most by his policies. Why then would they vote for him? ALFORD: And they even know it. Ben Jealous of the NAACP admitted it on Meet the Press. We all know this misery, but it's something like,...

Today on The Laura Ingraham Show, Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, blasted President Obama's anti-business administration in an explosive interview. Alford, a 2008 Obama supporter, labeled the administration "Marxist" and "fanatical." "They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas," he said.

In business, you would call it a hostile takeover. Ron Busby, a former small business owner and corporate executive, in 2010 officially launched the U.S. Black Chamber, Inc., an alliance of 80 black chambers of commerce across the country. “Everyone has someone representing them here in Washington, D.C. except for black businesses,” Busby explained in a recent interview with BMoreNews.com. Except, there is an organization in D.C. called the National Black Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1992 and headed by Harry Alford. Now, Alford’s longstanding black business group and Busby’s rival upstart are locked in battle, including a lawsuit over...

Here is video of Glenn Beck discussing Unions and Obama's "job package" with Harry Alford from the National Black Chamber of Commerce...(Video)

Harry Alford may have pretended to be offended Barbara Boxer "making it racial", but he's a fraud. He makes his living by running around America threatening people that if they don't hire black employees/firms, he'll have them fired. He says anyone who opposes affirmative action is just like a member of the KKK. His cousin, Henry James, is a Black Muslim convicted of terrorism for plotting to blow up the LA airport. Alford says he's innocent; he was framed by a bunch of racists in George Bush's Dept. of Homeland Security.

Barbara Boxer, the far left U.S. Senator from California, was given a stern face-to-face reprimand by the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Harry Alford, for trying to pit one black group against another instead of addressing issues on their merits. (Snip) In this case, instead of dealing substantively with Mr. Alford’s criticisms of the current Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade energy bill, Ms. Boxer tried to discredit Alford by pointing out how black groups such as the NAACP and “100 Black Men of Atlanta” were allegedly supporting the bill. (Snip) Mr. Alford scolded her for her divisive, racially charged tactics:...

Chamber of Commerce CEO Harry Alford appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" to discuss the cap-and-trade bill and his verbal brawl with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). The CEO says Sen. Boxer "loves black folks in their place."

We should mark July 16, 2009, as a day when white progressives — from an elitist lady senator to our mixed-race president — revealed their true racist colors. On that day, Senator (not “Ma’am”) Barbara Boxer chided Harry Alford of the National Black Chamber of Commerce during his testimony before the Senate Public Works Committee, and President (not descendant of slaves) Barack Obama, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the NAACP, lectured parents about making sure their children do their homework and bragged about his “administration.” While school children are taught that the Progressive Era from the 1890s...

The right-wing blogosphere is abuzz over the supposed smackdown between Sen. Barbara Boxer and Harry C. Alford, who portrays himself as an "African American and a veteran" who is insulted at Boxer's alleged racism and calls her on it... Alford is also an ardent opponent of the Employee Free Choice Act—no surprise, since he also sits on the board of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a leading EFCA opponent. He's been claiming that EFCA would harm African-American-owned businesses. His April op-ed for Roll Call on the issue of enabling workers to form unions is an example of how he is...

Here we were in the Senate Dirksen building participating in a Congressional Hearing on the pending climate legislation known as the Waxman/Markey Bill. This is a gigantic piece of proposed laws, taxes, regulations that will change the way America does business. There are many costs involved and it appears that the African American community will be paying a disproportionate share of the job loss and increased energy costs. No surprise as this is usually the case because we have no political apparatus that addresses that when it happens. The Congressional Black Caucus will go with the flow or, in other...

During Bill O’Reilly ’s interview last night of Harry Alford, President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), Alford made some insightful comments regarding Senator Barbara Boxer that served to expose the Left’s condescending attitude toward minorities. While professing to advocate on behalf of racial equality and tolerance for all minorities, in practice the true leftist agenda is much less inclusive. (Snip) Alford strenuously objected, calling Boxer out for being condescending and racial. As Mr. Alford told O’Reilly: “It was pure race — it was like down there in Mississippi back in the bad old days when one black...

Here is video from tonight of Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Harry Alford talking with Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor about his slapdown of Sen. Barbara Boxer last week for her "condescending" and "racial remarks" that were offensive to him. Alford is quickly becoming a real hero for conservatives who are glad to hear someone take the Democrats to task for their shameless use of race. O'Reilly is totally wrong about Boxer. She deliberately sought to use race against an African-American - Harry Alford, as if the quoting of other Black organizations discounts his testimony and evidence. Alford said...

Black Chamber of Commerce, President and CEO Harry Alford accuses Senator Boxer (D-CA) of playing race politics during a Senate EPW Committee hearing on green jobs after Sen.Boxer tried to introduce documents contradictory to Mr. Alford from other African-American organizations. EPW Ranking Member Sen. James Inhofe (D-OK) notes that the NAACP resolution that Sen. Boxer referenced did not actually support the position she was trying to make.

Dang .. hallelujah! Harry C. Alford is awesome!!! MUST hear !Alford Interview Video * * * Black Chamber head slams Boxer words as 'racial,' 'condescending' and 'God awful' The President and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) tore into Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) Thursday for what he said were "condescending" and "God awful" racial statements at a hearing. NBCC head Harry C. Alford took strong exception to Boxer having referenced an NAACP report favoring climate change legislation during a hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, of which Boxer is the chairwoman. "Madam chair, that...

Harry Alford asked the ultimate American question, “What does this have to do with race?” Indeed, what does energy policy have to do with race? He also went on to say that energy policy has nothing to do with his own organization, the National Black Chamber of Commerce. After all, he was there representing businesses, not just black businesses. Bravo to Harry! (video of testimony is included in this post)
