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.

"But he hasn't lost his style," Obama said.

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

Black people have this race pimps “number”. It’s the white liberal and the media (sorry for the redundancy) who believe anything that comes out of this turd’s mouth. Look at the way they suck his toes when he goes on the talking heads. Look at the way Hannity and BOR kiss his azzz. It’s Sickening.

You do know “he” (actually a video did it) just announced the campaign a few days ago? He is running, with campaign commercial and all.

That picture alone tells you everything you need to know about Obama.

The other day I heard Obama talking to some students. He was telling them that at one point in school his grades were horrible, and that he almost dropped out. I believe this is true, but could not help to wonder how did he ever make it to Harvard?

Oh, I saw the story when it first broke; it didn’t change anything. Rather than have people start working a new presumptive candidate over, they’ll wait until the last minute to announce that he has some health issue or something.

There is nothing in the last 30 months to indicate he intends to face the voters again; he’s ruled like a lame duck, rather than by polls as many thought he might. He got to be the first “black” elected president; I don’t think he wants to be the first black to lose a presidential election.

I know it sounds odd, but am I the only one who thinks he has 0% chance of re-election? The unemployment and inflation situations alone will doom his bid.
