I’m having a quiet riot, myself, and it’s going to become a noisy riot if the Washington establishment stops representing itself and starts representing the country.

"he referred to..........Fifty-five people died and 2,000 were injured in several days of riots in the city's black neighborhoods."

Hmmmm. Wants to be President, and threatens that the minority population on non-workers, in an area that leads the nation in murders and aggravated crime, is not getting "their fair share" of Amercia's bounty?

The entitlements' crowd is willing to loot the taxpayers for handouts, and Osama Obama panders to them to assure they'll vote Democrat, so they can be kept on the Democrat Plantation.

Yeah, this is the voterbase of the Democrats, alright, and they want to expand the entitlements' base to include 20 million other non-English speaking patrons now, too.....

Is this a GREAT country now, or what?

The first-term Illinois senator said that with black people from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast still displaced 20 months after Hurricane Katrina,

They aren't displaced. They decided not to go back to that quagmire. Katrina was the best thing that ever happened to them.

So Osama Obama is threatening to incite riots if the black folks don’t get more handouts? Just like Maxine Waters did. How many billions of my tax dollars have been handed to New Orleans? This reminds me of the South Central riots where the rioters burned down the post office, and there were crowds in the street demanding their welfare checks.

The way I figure it, blacks largely bring the poverty and despair problem onto themselves by voting for Democrats who only encourage them to become more hopelessly dependent on government handout programmes. Nothing saps your self-respect and initiative like have some nanny-state leftist give you everything instead of encouraging you to work for it yourself.

Since the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans are run by Obama’s party, why doesn’t he assist his fellow Democrats in straightening the city out.

"the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane."

And yet he still uses it to blame Bush, and nobody seems to call him on it. Typical.

Is this the Barack Obama guy who has a white mother who raised him, a black father who abandoned him and calls himself an “African-American”?

Oh yeah, that guy.

Since the band jokes have been told, I’ll mention my own “Quiet Riot”. I’ll never ever give another dime to a charity for any past present or future problem affecting NOLA. I’ve heard nothing but ingratitude from that area for those of us who did our best to help. I hear about more and more and more of my tax dollars pouring into that place. From now on, the tax dollars are all they get, because the government forces me to give it. I never see such poor behavior coming out of any of the other affected areas. Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas can count on me.

And this knuckle head is running for president! Give me a break. All that hurricane did was flush out the criminal element from NOLA and that element is what has returned.

First McCain is warning of riots, now not even a few days later Obama is warning of riots...

Are they really trying to incite violence? Are they trying to intimidate voters with threats of riots?

Me thinks me smell a rat, a very big RAT that is the smell of a socialist attempt to overthrow the ‘08 elections with violence and riots!

Yes, I do think they would and will stoop so low this time. Remember the destroyed vans of the RNC, the intimidation at the office in Cleveland, and the troubles fabricated in the Columbus, Oh area. We will see more violence in ‘08. They are already trying to stir up the masses with their rhetoric.

"Those 'quiet riots' that take place every day are born from the same place as the fires and the destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and the deaths," Obama said. "They happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. Despair takes hold and young people all across this country look at the way the world is and believe that things are never going to get any better."

He was at a clergy conference, so I suppose he proposed that the clergy do something meaningful in their individual neighborhoods to relieve the despair of da utes.

Right, Senator?

Lots of blacks do real well, but those that don’t are equally responsible for their bad choices or lack of action.
If they have a problem being poor, WORK!
If someone doesn’t have a skill or set of skills, local cities have adult education centers that can help with basic skills. Still, the most important skill Obama should be talking about regarding the quiet riot blacks would be the one where they get up daily for years and go to work.
If there is no work in an area, go seek work in another area and move.

Lots of blacks are doing great and there are increasingly larger middle classes growing. The unsuccessful ones have unsuccessful habits and that is all.

They are responsible for themselves and can change their situation, Bush, Obama or others can give charity, but not success or prosperity.

Let them riot. 70 million gun owners can make short work of an insurrection when they are roused.

Race-baiting and poverty-pimping. Jesse Jackson may sue for turf invasion.

Its amazing to me how politicians can see the failures of the, “Great Society”, and come up with a completely different conclusion on how to fix it.

Moreover, if it’s so unfair here, then leave. If I really believed what they say, then I would leave this country. Just as we see MOST Immigrants illegal or not that have come here since the formation of our great Nation. They knew there chance to move up latter was way better here, then any where else.

It truly is amazing to me how some immigrant groups can come here with not a penny to their name, and within one or two generations they are wealthy. Obama’s complete ignorance of history when it comes to societies that are dependent on government. Goes to show this guy has no brain or he is a shyster. Pick your poison. Funny thing that this was mentioned today. I read an article just today ( and I will link it) of the top 50 paid athletes. What you will find is that most are minorities. For instance, in the top 10. Seven of the Top 10 are minorities. Another interesting Fact is the Mike Vick (QB of Atlanta Falcons) is paid way more then Tom Brady (QB of New England Patriots). Tom has been to 4 Super Bowls and has won three. Then I just think about Obama's comments that its not fair..... Please.......

Detroit is still waiting for an apology for the last riot, until it happens the healing will never start.
