Prominent Members of Chicago Black Community: Those closest to Obama know there's no 2nd term

I’m just back from a delightful trip down to a little sandwich shop on the Southside of Chicago where prominent members of the black community enjoy lunch served up with a side of political gossip. I relish the occasions I get invited to these little meetings and never know who’ll be sitting at the table with me but love the jerk chicken combo with extra “bodacious sauce”. In a corner over by a colorful mural celebrating the roaring-twenties and jazz I got an earful about the black community’s feeling about both the Obamas and their abandonment of Chicago for the sunny shores of Oahu in January.

This group of influential black Chicagoans calls themselves, informally, “The Think Squad” and has been a big help with stories and activities in the past. If you consider the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, and other “Justice Brothers” types on one side of the spectrum…the Think Squad is the polar opposite. These are good people who openly talk about how terrible the Democrat community has been for black people for the last four or five decades and how Obama and his acolytes have made a great many things worse for blacks since he took office. The Think Squad is not happy about the amnesty efforts for criminal Hispanics who broke American laws but are now able to push blacks out of work because of Obama’s intention to allow these people to become job-seekers in this dreadful economy. As one person at the table noted by waiving her hand at the scene out the window, “What the Hell has gotten any better since he became President. Where’s all that hope and change? All I see is crime and trash”.

“Listen bud, there’s no second term nothing and they know as much,” a Think Squader told me between bites of his bodacious sandwich. “All this is for show. Axelrod has already moved on but no one knows what to do and they’re kind of just limping around without a plan hoping those Romney people mess up or the media drags them across the finish line. But ain’t nobody in that top tier who thinks he’s going to win. It’s just not happening because they can’t fool people a second time”.

I know there are many of you who — for whatever reason — still sit in front of your televisions with your eyes pried wide open taking in all the lies the corrupt media tells you. Why you do this is beyond me. I also don’t understand why you still pay for newspaper subscriptions or think that the polls Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow recite to you are in any way accurate. I can find no gentle way to stay this but if you believe what the tee-vee tells you, then you’re foolish. After four long years of watching the corrupt media relentlessly lie to drag Obama over the finish line if you have not picked up on the fact that everyone on television is working hard under the Democrats’ banner then there is truly something wrong with you. You are a lost cause.

You need to get out into your community and get the scoop from real people on the ground.

You need to see what’s going on with your OWN EYES and listen with your OWN EARS to get the stories the media won’t ever tell you.

The Think Squad confirmed what I’ve been hearing through friends whose families know Marion Robinson, the current “First Grandmother” and Michelle’s mother: the Obamas and those close to them are preparing to decamp to Honolulu, Hawaii and live out his post-presidency in the post suburb of Kailua. This is Hawaii’s Beverly Hills. The Think Squad had a great time mocking the hula and pretending to sip mai-tais and pina-coladas as they regaled me with all the things Marion’s been “bragging-on” about the house she expects to live in come January when the Obamas depart the White House and Marion comes with them. They’ll still have servants, Secret Service guards, a chef, and almost all of the amenities they enjoy now. But it will be a permanent vacation mode instead of the short bursts of paradise these people experienced on their many jaunts to Hawaii over the last four years before their usual return to Washington. But now, they won’t ever have to go back to DC and Marion is especially gleeful that they won’t be coming back to Chicago ever, either.

“She hates the cold and is glad to never have to come back here,” another person at the table told me while munching on some sweet potato chips at lunch. I dipped some in hot sauce like she did and discovered a new favorite snack as she told me how she, too, would love to abandon Chicago winters forever and never have to come back here.

The general consensus is that black people will keep voting Democrat in droves because that’s “just what we do” but that there is nowhere near the excitement levels of 2008. ”People will not be lining up to do nothing for him in November ’cause he didn’t do nothing for us for four years”, any angry Think Squader told me from the other end of the table. The mood indicated that black turnout would not be anywhere in the realm of 2008 and would instead sink down to more normal participation rates — which jives with everything you should be noticing in terms of enthusiasm for Obama across the board. People are over Obama, like he’s a rapper who has not had a big hit in a while or a singer whose last few albums have bombed. You still see people peddling the Obama tee shirts on the south side, “but you ain’t see nobody BUYING them, do you?”. I was told to look closely at those shirts and see for myself that many of them were left over from years ago. Nobody’s bothered to make up new designs for 2012 here on the Southside and the raggedy shirts for sale on the street corners are still sporting HOPE and CHANGE logos alongside the usual portraits of Obama’s disembodied head floating in glory with those of Dr. King, Malcolm X, and even, randomly, Tupak Shakur at times.

The table burst out into loud laughter when I asked if anyone believed there was even a remote chance that the Obama Presidential Library and Museum could be coming to Chicago and every last member of the Think Squad said “that thing’s going on the beach somewhere in Hawaii where it belongs”. There is no delusion that Chicago would get any sort of perk or pay-back for sending the Obamas to Washington. ”What do they care about Chicago for when they got everything they needed out of this place and there’s nothing more they need?”. The consensus was that Obama has a long established pattern of taking what he needs, then moving on to someplace new to acquire new resources there, and then moving on to whatever he thinks can help him advance again.

Hawaii is the next roosting place for the Obamas because his post-presidency will be all about becoming “The President of the World” since he can’t get any higher in this country than the plateau he’s already reached. He’ll travel abroad, give big speeches, and spend the rest of his life touring Asian and Middle Eastern countries talking about how much the West misunderstands Islam and how much America has to apologize for. A good number of the Think Squaders don’t see too long of a post-presidency for Obama. Some think he’s sick (with Parkinson’s, as we’ve talked about on this site for years) and others think he might even have HIV (due to his inexplicable weight loss). ”He’s got the Slims and it shows”, somebody at the table said, drawing an awkward silence as a waitress walked around picking up trash while trying not to seem like she was listening to the boisterous group in the corner. ”The Slims” is slang in Chicago’s black community for HIV/AIDS. One in five black men in Chicago have HIV who engage in any sort of homosexual activity; this includes guys who are married and still fool around with men but don’t consider themselves bisexuals or “punks”, which is black slang for a gay man of color.

There was no doubt at the table that Barack Obama is gay and has been part of the “down low club” that’s incredibly common in big cities like Chicago where gay black men desperately seek to avoid being labeled as “punks” by taking a wife and creating a public sham of a marriage. Normally, the woman in these relationships is somehow undesirable and difficult to deal with, which is why a straight man would not want to touch her. A few good examples of this are Star Jones, Terry McMillen, Oprah Winfrey, Jada Pickett Smith, and of course Michelle Obama. All of them either married or have a longterm relationship with a gay black man (a “punk”) but who enjoy the benefits of having this man on their arm (for however long it lasts, in the case of Jones and McMillen). One of these women is a lesbian who not only has benefitted career-wise from being married to a punk but who also hides her own homosexuality by faking a marriage.

It’s hilarious sitting at a table in a sandwich shop with people who know the real score about stuff like this and realizing just how many millions of people out there who rely on the corrupt media for their news haven’t the slightest clue in Hell what’s really going on.

Some in the Think Squad believe that Obama will just come out when he ascends to that international stage in his post-presidency but others think he’ll never do that for fear of retaliation from Muslims. It’s common practice for Muslim men to continue having relations with other males while manifestly heterosexual and married, especially if the wife in question is mannish and overbearing much like Michelle. ”If you can’t see it just by looking at him, then you’re stupid” said one of my lunch mates today. I 100% agree with that and will never understand how any of this is a mystery to Americans. I guess they just don’t want to see Obama for who he really is and maybe never will.

As lunch wrapped up today and I put on my sweatshirt for the long walk back to the Red Line, the parting thoughts from the group were these:

* No — black people are not going to riot when Barack Obama loses. Black people have pretty much given up on this guy, mainly because of the fact he didn’t deliver on his promises to them but also a lot of them see that he’s gay and don’t like that and also don’t like the gay marriage “stuff” he was “talking about a lot this year”.

* No — there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell that blacks will vote Republican this year because they will NOT vote against Obama. They will instead sit home. ”He didn’t help me, so I ain’t helping him!” is the motto this year. Count on black turnout to be at 2004 levels, not 2008 numbers the way the corrupt media is baking into all those polls that get conservatives worked up where they show Obama leading. Without blacks voting at 2008 numbers, Obama loses Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia with no hope of making up those numbers with other groups. It’s as simple as that.

* Yes — the Obamas are already planning their move to Hawaii. Michelle is actually happy about this as she does not like being First Lady. She will enjoy having all the perks of the position for the rest of her life without any of the hard work. She is looking forward to a life of luxury and fun for the rest of her days. Michelle’s mother is thrilled to be leaving Washington for Hawaii permanently. All those years of putting up with her “punk-ass son-in-law” as she called him have finally paid off for her in her mind, because she never dreamed she’d get to retire on an estate in Hawaii that can only be described as “royal”. Obama himself didn’t actually like being president. It was always a step towards something bigger. He really wants to be UN Secretary General or something and lord over the whole world. His ego and narcissism have no bounds.

* Yes — the Think Squad believes Obama will lose, despite what the corrupt media tells you, because “who in their right mind would believe this man again when he made a mess the first time?”. Without the mass-hysteria of Hopeychange and the threats of “if you don’t vote for him then you are a racist” there’s no wave of emotion for Obama to surf to re-election. That means no second term.

That’s how the Think Squad sees it as prominent members of the Chicago black community at least.

In states without actively enforced Voter ID laws, it won't matter. Registered voters in those districts WILL vote for Obama, either in person, or by proxy as somebody else votes in their name as groups get bussed from poll to poll and handed a slip with who they are supposed to be in this polling place.

Much of this sounds like the conversation I overheard standing in line at my local Liquor store deep inside the “Hood” recently.
Two gentlemen of color were in line behind me and watching the Dem. convention they had up on the TV.
They basically both agreed that “That brother’s got to go, ..he ain’t done noth’n”.

It warmed my heart. :)

Here's how you'll know if this story has any legs or not.

"The Think Squad confirmed what I’ve been hearing through friends whose families know Marion Robinson, the current “First Grandmother” and Michelle’s mother: the Obamas and those close to them are preparing to decamp to Honolulu, Hawaii and live out his post-presidency in the post suburb of Kailua.

The house in Hawaii that Penny Pritzger is supposedly buying the Obamas, has a public 360 panaview app here. You can walk through the house and view every gorgeous inch of it.

When this 360 view app is pulled -- not just pulled but scrubbed -- from the internet, you'll know this story has legs.

BTW, I'm hard to please when it comes to houses, and this house is perfect.

Just beware it’s Hillbuzz. They’re democrats first. I remember kidding myself that they were going to be right about all of the Hillary supports coming out to vote against obama. I ignored the polls to a degree because they were assuring people that they had inside info about the millions of Hillary supporters who were going to vote for McCain.

The Think Squad echoes the (unspoken) thoughts of the black libs in my own family. None of them are crowing about The One, like they were four years ago. Most of them don’t even mention his name anymore.

I’m pretty sure a substantial number of them won’t even make it to the polls in November. They really are that disillusioned.

Blacks still love him in big numbers. You still see them every where in their 0bama T-shirts.

Everyone I'm related to is A) Black, and B) voted for Obama in 2008. Tell you what, though. None of them have a Zero sticker on their car, and not a single one of them has worn an Obama t-shirt since he was elected.

The Chicago Think Squad is telling it like it is. There's a ton of disillusionment about Obama among blacks. They may not vote for Romney, but a significant percentage are going to have a hard time dragging themselves to the polls in November.

I attended four high schools in four years. Went from Wichita Falls, TX, to Tokyo, Japan (two different schools while in Japan), and then to a little, out-of-the-way town in upstate PA. Nightmare? Not hardly. Adventuresome? Indeed! Survived just fine.

I was a military brat, too. From K through 6th grade, I attended over ten different schools. From the time I was born, we moved every year and a half, on average. Sometimes I went to two different schools during the time we were in one house.

I think all that traveling made me more well-rounded as a person, and kept me from developing what I call the 'village mentality'. To this day, I've got a naturally wider perspective than most people I know. Like you, I survived it just fine.

I believe you because you have up close and person experience (and I've read your posts here at FR over the years). I agree that many people will not be voting for Romney but rather will be staying home.

I have to ask: do you believe any of the other parts of this piece about The Chicago Think Squad? I'm not so sure I do.

Thank you, Winflier. Suffice to say that I am now, literally, decades away from those precious moments in time...my formative years of education,growing up and such. But when I look back, to see what was, to understand where I had been and all that it added to my growing-up experiences, I can most assuredly say that I am grateful, appreciative, and completely thankful for having lived the experiences of a military dependent and all that it afforded me. Without it, who knows where I may have ended up.

That kind of life truly does open doors, opportunties, and an incredibly sense of understanding and appreciation for what it means to be an American and to live the life of freedom and liberty that, at least-for the most part-we've all enjoyed until now.

Earlier this year, I had the privilege to travel to Tanzania, Africa. OMG! What an incredible experience! Yes, once I returned, I just could not help but be overcome, overwhelmed with the sense and appreciation of all that life has given me, being born and raised AN AMERICAN! My gosh! There is so much love, admiration, inspiration, and awe in being known as AN AMERICAN! My goodness, I'm so honored, so appreciative, so thankful!

You are right on many of the polls but wrong on the black community. I teach in an alternative school with a high % of blacks kids. Many hate Bambi. I was blown away. The reasons vary but some even call him the Antichrist. Not much love coming his way this time around. One of my kids even gets news from me to take to his uncle to get him going about how bad Obama is. I still hear some slight support but NOTHING like 4 years ago. It is like night and day.
IF the think squad has some black gays I believe the story. They love to bitch and talk in this manner.

I have to ask: do you believe any of the other parts of this piece about The Chicago Think Squad? I'm not so sure I do.

Two other points ring true to me, A) that most blacks have figured out that Obama swings both ways, and B) that he hasn't done anything to improve conditions for blacks.

I think those two observations are pretty widespread.
