“Number one is: work. It’s a pretty simple concept. There is nothing worthwhile where it just falls in your lap,” he added.
At least I don't think he's being satirical.
I’m guessing that being a black conservative isn’t what he had in mind.
He’s just reading off the teleprompter. Nothing registers beyond that.

“Golf is not just for white guys!”
“As a general rule, things don’t end well if the sentence starts with, ‘Let me tell you something about the Negro,’” Obama said. “You don’t really need to know the rest of it, just a tip for you.”
Said the guy who is not authentic in anything. He is the epitome of a phony human being. There is only one other high-profile person as fake-human as him, and that would be John Kerry.
These people don’t even know how to ACT human in any convincing manner.
I think this thread is heading in a silly direction. I dislike Obama, his politics and his current state of rancor he brought on himself by declaring he can go it alone.
But to use this example to come down on him? I think the worst you can say about his visit is ‘even a blind squirrel finds acorn or two’.
Quote —
““The notion that there’s some authentic way of being black, that if you’re going to be black you have to act a certain way and wear a certain kind of clothes, that has to go,” Obama said.”
Good for Mr. Obama. He has finally said something I agree with:
“You don’t have to act a certain way to be authentic. You just have to be who you are – and to go back to the values that you care about.”
Wonderful. Now the very best thing he could do is shut the hell up and go away. He is an embarrassment to both the black half of him and the white half of him. Or whatever mixture he is, if anyone really knows.
