Looks like Rev. Al has friends in high places.

President Obama, embroiled in a furious battle over the federal budget, swept into New York last night for a star-studded celebration of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network and gave the beaming civil-rights leader a rousing slap on the back.

"Some things have changed a lot since 1991. I told Rev. Al backstage he's getting skinnier than me," the president joked about his formerly portly pal during a keynote address celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sharpton's organization.

Shouldn’t that greasy old racist, Sharpton, be in jail for not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes? BO certainly hangs out with gutter creepers.

He's a delusional nut-job.

This is all anyone needs to know about the good Reverend.

If African Americans consider this a reverend I can see why they are so lost. This is a greasy nasty loser.

Considering he has generally avoided Al and Jesse, I wonder if this signifies problems with the base?

I stopped watching Fox when they referred to him as “Reverend”; there is no reason to believe Fox and and MSNBCNN don’t have the same boss, and are staging a shoving match for the benefit of the sheeple.

To me it reinforces my belief that he is not running for president in 2012; he just lost the few remaining white voters he had left, as well as more Hispanic voters (after already losing the anti-war crowd and the “economically uncertain” crowd duped into believing he would bring “hope & change”).

He is now a racist agitator; he has no chance.
