And Tavis takes it from Obama. He doesn't pitch a fit and call Obama out for acting liking a two-bit tyrant.

The AP, of course, buried the lede. Thanks to The Root for putting this out front.

We're getting closer and closer to high crimes and misdemeanors time.

BSA issue, too?

Osama Obama’s an equal opportunity viper...kinda like Comrade Mugabe himself.

This regime has the same type tactics as the Nazi’s had. Kill off all opposition so that you can rule with an iron fist over all the sheeple. People who are educated in the government schools did not get this history lesson, thus are going to repeat this part of history again. Slaves do as the masters tell them too. So, an enslaved society will be like Soviet Russia and current Red China.

Wow. F Obama. Words can’t even describe my utter hatred for him at this point.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Howz it feel ,Tavis, to be used like a 2 bit whore? Sucker.

I read Lanny Davis got hammered last week for going on Fox and saying the White House has no clue how to handle a scandal. They wanted him to throw Rummler under the bus per orders but were mad when he said the chief of staff should go also.

Must stay of scrip per Valerie or get hammered by the Obama bots.

Reflecting back, there is little evidence that Obama cares for full-blooded African-Americans. Look at their unemployment numbers. He seems to feign Blackness by associating with biracial types like Beyonce, Valerie Jarrett, Halle Berry, etc.

He seems to look down his nose at Blacks (and Whites) much like his golfing buddy Tiger Woods (who was “hurt” and “offended” when he heard Latino golfer Sergio utter the so-called code words “fried chicken”. Gasp!)

I think the not-so-hidden message was supposed to be:
“Hey, Tavis, we know you’re black, but WE have a total monopoly on both the concept and the use of the word “poverty”. We don’t do anything about it, but if you get any good press by doing something about poverty, it WILL make us look bad, and none of us want that, do we???? I mean, come on, Tavis, it almost looks like you’re trying to subvert our efforts”.
-—Still, kudos to WalMart for not pulling out: it’s a win-win for them.

[Red in Blue PA]

Most. Corrupt. Administration. Ever.

[Walkingfeather]

So Tavis how does it feel? A bit unsettling when people are working behind the scenes to undermine your life..... Welcome to the conservative camp. At some point there will be a tidal shift, where their side is going to say... OH SHIT he is out of control.

This is completely off-topic (forgive me), but when did it become fashionable to call a news story's lead paragraph a "lede?" I was a reporter in the Linotype era, started stories with leads and ended them with -30-. I never once saw it spelled "lede."

Thinking I must have been living in a time eddy or something I did some Googling and found this: LEDE VS. LEAD Lede is a modern affectation; Ben Hecht would never have spelled it that way.
