BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Singer and activist Harry Belafonte says President Barack Obama and his "mission" have failed because of a lack of moral courage and vision.

The president is "not a stand-alone," Belafonte said Thursday. Regarding the debt-ceiling crisis, Belafonte said he would ask Congress, the president and other U.S. institutions of power "what happened to moral truth" and moral courage.

He actually is very powerful in entertainment, shilling for commie causes. He is a h u g e commie, has been going to Cuba and kissing Castro’s ass for years.

People here in Australia constantly ask me how Americans could have voted for Obama. I tell them it’s mostly they were voting against Bush (Republicans).

Belafonte is right on this one—even Lenin had better leadership skills than Obuma. He’s giving a bad name to socialists world wide. Obuma couldn’t even run little Cuba if he was the supreme leader. He’s got no guts.

Yep, Obama is completely lacking in dictatorial charisma. He’s a tyrant-lite.

I liked how the AP did not elaborate on what Belafonte meant when he said Obama lacked “moral courage”? I suspect that Belafonte intended to mean that Obama is not pushing the Marxist agenda far enough and fast enough — but that did not come through. The AP even has to censor the words of its allies.
