Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) addressed the 35th annual legislative conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a non-profit group that lobbies the 43 black members of Congress and others to enact legislation for social, economic and educational development.
"Generation after generation of inner-city blacks have been stuck in a cycle of poverty and crime," said Obama. "For this I blame President Bush."
"Sure, the government provides homes for poor blacks, but they're only apartments," complained Obama. "These homes have cable TV, but it's only basic cable. The government gives them food stamps, but we let them waste them on junk food or trade them for liquor and cigarettes."
"These wretched conditions lead too many blacks to hopeless lives of crime and substance abuse," Obama continued. "Shamefully, most of the crimes are committed against other blacks. We need a program to more equitably distribute the victimization to non-minorities and upper-class neighborhoods."
Obama urged conference attendees to get behind his "Crime Equalization Act" -- legislation that would provide funding to disperse some of the worst criminal elements currently concentrated in minority neighborhoods more evenly across the nation.

You signed on yesterday just to tell us whats funny?
With his education he definitely is more white than he is black, unless you consider him a musselman because of his daddy's religion.
Obama is overrated. His Lefty comrades in the "media" made him a "rock star." To your average American, he just another Leftist creep with a terrorist sounding name.
dog bites man
You know, this had me going until a google search revealed no matches to a "Crime Equalization Act!" Very witty satire (I mean, it sounds like something a liberal 'rat would say).
"Sure, the government provides homes for poor blacks, but they're only apartments," complained Obama. "These homes have cable TV, but it's only basic cable
What an absolute embarassment this guy is. He must be smoking the crack that the CIA introduced to the black community
The scariest thing about Obama is his very young age. Strap in for 40+ years of his Senatorial pronouncements.
oops....thought it was too ridiculous to be real, but you never know with the dems
You're not alone...the Obama piece is going to be the Hillary/Obama acceptance speech...LOL!!!
Another stupid democrat, willing to shill for the left. Good grief!
That is truly amazing, considering Bush has only been President for 4 1/2 yrs, and Democrats have been in charge of this country's major cities for the last 40!
Welcome to DUmmieland.....but seriously, I don't understand the idiot's rants.
However, it doesn't matter. Bush is at fault nevertheless. /sarcasm
Demoncrats dont care about realities; just their fantasies even if they don't make sense.
Obama was supposed to be the new generation of hope for the Democrats. This article sure puts that hope to rest.
Haven't read such a lousy satire in a while
To a degree it undermined the argument ~ which I'm just betting was constructed, for the most part, by someone who is historically speaking relatively new to the Republican party and true Conservative politics.
In the future leave Liza and Rastus stuff in the barn. We don't want to hear it.
