The media would as soon swallow their own scat as pursue news concerning criminal wrongdoing by the Kenyan Kommie.

They may touch on the tabloid stuff, and then only to those surrounding the president and only so far as to maintain their credibility (or so they believe).

Obama wasn’t the only senator that helped ‘em out. Grassley had his hands in it too.

[GoldenPup]

Isn’t this the so called “settlement” that the Senate recently refused to fund?...and rightfully so. Rediculous!!

[M-cubed]

Like Santa Clause...someone needs to start making a list...checking it twice...Must be public records

Lets see who got what... by name, residence and SS#

[sodpoodle]

Unfortunately, a sizable portion of the African American community is being used by the socialists/Marxists; to confiscate wealth and cause racial finger pointing. The $1.3 billion is probably in some Chicago bank or campaign coffer.

We must not fall into the trap of ‘us and them’. We are all Americans - united we stand, divided we fall.

The elite want that to happen - we cannot let it.

I remember reading about Obama bringing this bill back up when he was a senator just a week ago when this Sherrod stuff came out. He also put the payout on the front burner in the budget once he became Prez.

[Windflier]

If I were a member of Congress I would not attach my name to, or sign onto any bill that defined any portion of the beneficiaries as “black”. Can’t we get past this BS

Sure, the average American can get past race. Nearly all of us passed that point sometime back in the 60s and 70s. But, if you're a black supremacist, like Obama, reparations and "economic justice" are forever.

I hope this blows up in his face.

During the campaign I recall seeing a compilation of legislation that 0bama worked on and voted for while he was a Senator. It was overwhelmingly related solely to blacks. I can understand a black Senator promoting legislation for blacks but it was as if he had almost no other interest. We all know abortion was one of his other interests.

[Windflier]

Reparations. Has the payment been halted?

You got me, but I highly doubt it.

[Windflier]

Well, well, well. This might explain the hasty firing by the 0 administration upon the public airing of Shirley’s name.

Nail, meet hammer.

[Windflier]

Could this be why you and I and our customers have no more money to spend?

George, we're obviously promoting to the wrong public. We need to find the Black Farmer's Association and promote to them. They've got money to spend.

[Balata]

This sounds like something Jesse Jackson and JJJ would be part of.

[Windflier]

I cannot imagine that many of those farmers even knew about this scam being perpetrated in their names. I have to believe there is more pride in self-reliance.

I'm sure you're right. Anyone who is competent enough, and ambitious enough to operate their own farm, isn't looking for reparations from anyone.

Truth is, there aren't 86,000 black farmers in the country (per the article), although Obama managed to get thousands of blacks recognized as such for the purposes of this lawsuit.

That's the HUGE back-story here.

[Myrddin]

The uneducated have a tendency to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and eat their seed corn. When all the resources have been exhausted, they wonder why everything is falling apart. Famine and cannibalism follow. See Zimbabwe and North Korea for current examples in progress.

[Windflier]

The problem is who will pursue an official inquiry, the justice dept?

(insert audio of chirping crickets)

[Carley]

Just reading on google. $1.25 billion payment to black farmers HALTED

Of course, it’s all blamed on partisan politics.

Something wrong here. VERY wrong.

[Windflier]

...we knew about the windfall of $13 Million, but not about the direct OBAMA connection.

Per this report, this is a much bigger story than we'd been led to believe.

First of all, it was never clear to me that the Sherrods pocketed the $13 million themselves. I had thought that the whole settlement was $13 million, and that it was divided among a small group of black farmers.

If this report is accurate, what happened was much worse than that.
