He does seem like he’s a good dad. A narcissist, by definition, can't possibly be a good dad, just the opposite. I think that's why his entire family, except for the little one, looks so miserable.

When you begin to see articles in the New York Amsterdam News ( a Black, Liberal Newspaper) such as the one penned by Richard Carter, you begine to see erosion in Black American support for Barack Hussein Obama. Fact is: Obama has really done zilch for American Blacks. They are, as a group, in the worst economic, education and opportunity situation they have ever been in. The family unit is in shambles with single parent families, out-of-wedlock children, failed schools and failed economics and massive unemployment. At least some Black Americans begin to get it. Obama is not their friend, he is not their ally, shucks, other then his skin, heis not one of them. He is actually, their worst enemy!!!

I, for one, hope and pray they come to their senses, for at the moment, they are just adrift at sea with no compass to guide them. If Obama is re-elected, they will still be adrift at sea, with no compass, but.......they will also be out of food and water to exist!!! Go figure!!! They need both a leader/leaders and culture change, big time!!!

Obama’s gaffe was the closest you’ll ever hear Dear Leader state he hates capitalism and free-enterprise. You’re never going to hear him condemn it outright, but we can read between the lines. Does anyone with half a brain think even Carter or Clinton would make such an outrageous statement? Only a real socialist, like Obama, would make a Freudian slip like that.

In the long, undistinguished annals of big-time gaffes in American politics, Barack Hussein Obama’s recent shot at small businesspeople ranks near the top. Indeed, this astonishing verbal blunder has taken on a life of its own.

It wasn’t just the words he said, there was also that unmistakably unpresidential, childish, snotty, mocking tone. When people heart that his meaning is clear. Obozo sorta’ shot himself in the foot with TWO barrels.

Hey, Richard Carter: you think you’re smart? There’s a lotta smart people out there! You think you wrote an insightful column? A whole lotta people write insightful columns.

You missed the important question: just where would you be without roads and bridges?

Let’s hope it haunts him all the way back to Kenya. Maybe he can get elected to something there, and then some rebels can do what they do best...

“What’s the best way to describe what Obama said? Here’s what some pundits are calling it: “botch,” “blunder,” “bungle,” “delusional,” “faux pas,” “fumble,” “gaffe,” “goof,” “loopy,” “misstep,” “stumble” and, quite simply, that he put his foot in his mouth big-time”

Methinks “honest” to be the correct word.

The truth, as his perverted, socialist-loving, “mind” sees it.

Some Americans get on “the roads & Bridges” to go to the beach. Others head to their Farms, Warehouses, Research Facilities, Offices...

>>> Some have speculated that it was due to “going off teleprompter”— ... Others say this president is simply anti-free market business. <<<

The author writes this as though these points are mutually exclusive. They're not.

This president says moronic things when he goes off 'prompter AND he is anti-free market business.

'nuff said.

“By letting his view slip out, Obama displays a lack of faith in our economic system, diligence and people.”


“By letting his view slip out...”

A basic summation of his “view” was that he believes powerful, big government is the root from which all prosperity flows.

Whoever made this quote is saying “By accidentally showing his true beliefs, Obama displays a lack of faith in our economic system, diligence and people”

I think 0bama's 'You didn't build that' and another recent major gaffe of his: 'The private sector is doing fine' reinforce each other.

Taken together, they tell you that he doesn't have a clue how the economy works, and if he did, he wouldn't care to help the private sector anyway.

So, 0bama's using his bully pulpit to get his shots in against the American people. In November, it's time for the American people to get their shots in against him.

Boy, you Obama-haters just can’t be satisfied. First you say that the so-called magnificent orator has never said anything memorable, just recycled pap.

And now when he says something memorable, you castigate him for it!
