Obama's New Partner: Al Sharpton [Recruited in 2010 as advisor on race issues...remember?]
Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/17/10 | Peter Wallsten

With his wavy bouffant and medallion necklaces, the Rev. Al Sharpton famously confronted government officials on behalf of black Americans. Now he has found a new role: telling black leaders to quiet their criticisms and give the government a chance.

President Barack Obama has turned to Mr. Sharpton in recent weeks to answer increasingly public criticism in the black community over his economic policy. Some black leaders are charging that the nation's first African-American president has failed to help black communities hit hard by the downturn, leaving party strategists worried that black Democrats will become dispirited and skip November's congressional elections.

So....an Hispanic American kills a ‘Brother’, who was bashing hispanic/german American Zimmermans head against the sidewalk( and ultimately broke Zimmermans nose), dies when the shooter manages to pull his licensed pistol which the dead guy was trying to take from him. it goes off killing the hoodie wearing, pants on the ground, thug....and the media pulls out picures of the dead ‘brother’ from 10 years earlier like he was a sweet baby. and Sharpton and the left make THIS a cause celeb to ban guns?

FUBO......EFFF U Rev. Al, and your media lackies too....

Maybe someday minorities will realize the crimes that hypocritical liberals are actually doing to them. Dysfunctional urban schools to keep them uneducated and easily manipulated, while the liberals get to “choose” private schools for themselves, the funding of Planned Parenthood clinics to actually kill them. The buying off of stooges like Sharpton and Jackson to be “leaders.”

I got news for the black folks.

Obama hasn’t done much for the White man hard hit by economic downturn either. In fact all he has done has made it worse for everybody. Hopefully we will get rid of him in this years election, but he still owns the black vote.

Rev Al probably got personally paid $100,000 or so, plus another $100,000 for his National Action Network. And, guess who pays for it? Us !!
