Obama celebrates the Motown Sound
Los Angeles Times ^ | 02/25/2011 | Andrew Malcom

Posted on 02/25/2011 6:33:23 AM PST by safetysign

Today, instead of warning another country, he praised Algeria for lifting its state of emergency decree that's been in effect since Obama was in law school somewhere.

The Illinois Democrat has been chided recently for becoming something of a tardy diplomatic scold, warning many countries and foreign leaders but leaving Iran-bashing to underlings. So, Obama took the occasion Thursday to make a considerably longer statement celebrating the Motown Sound and Black History Month at another star-studded White House music party. (See complete texts of both statements below.)

Barry is courting his “black” identity seeking support for his next move.

Such a user!

Countless expensive vacations over and over; expensive parties endlessly; $200/lb steak and lobster while we’re expected to eat Kale; More rounds of golf played than any other President, EVER in just 2 years; he still smokes, drinks heavily; still rumored to be a closet homo; and commits treason every single day! In France years ago they knew exactly how to deal with pricks like Obama!

Barry has no time to deal with the nonsense going on around the world when he is prepping to hang with Smokey and the other elites!

It seems time for another massive Patriot gathering, does it not?

You’d think the first halfrican president would know the world would be watching his performance to see if he has leadership potential. Instead it’s nothing but shuckin’ and jivin’ parties. Failed leadership at its finest.

I like Motown as well as the next guy, I suppose. But boy am I tired of the whole "black thing". There is just an endless celebration of how great it is to be black. All the contributions that blacks have made. They are beautiful. They are athletic. They are musical. They are funny. They are cool. Whoo-Hoo! It is great to be black!

Me? I'm white. I suck. What the heck have white people ever done???

When Bush 43 took office the MSM were depressed that the parties ended
and longed for the return of the Clinton days. They even celebrated the "W"
being removed from every keyboard in the WH while Hillary was stealing the silverware.

I wonder how many bedbugs will be left behind when Zero gets jackbooted.

Sheryl Crow? Sheryl Crow and Motown? WTF?

As for the others I recognize an actor - Jamie Foxx, a Brit - Seal, but only one truly legendary Motown / Berry Gordy genius, Smokey Robinson.
