Drudge links to this article from his main page with a big photo above. My question is: Are there ANY productive citizens visible in the photo?

I would wager that nearly every person n the photo is on the Govt teat; Either a politico, a hand-out recipient or a legacy sponge.

Obama’s was a stem winder speech. Anyone could easily have deliver it with passion. The speech contains few political landmines and lots of vision. Sadly it is not remotely coherent with Obama. Written by a worthy populist it serves only to put this cardboard cutout of a president on display without the trappings of his character.

Trying so hard to be relevant. Obama, you are no MLK, you’re a gutter rat.

The accusation of a racist country is all they have, it’s their leverage (obviously). Without it they have to compete on a level playing field in life like everybody else. The irony IMO is because they have used racism as a crutch for so long it’s made ‘em weak and spoiled ‘cause so much is given to them and they don’t have to lift a finger to earn it.

That is the paradox with Obama. He obviously knows what the people want and he is willing to speak about it.
But his actions are the opposite of his words.

This is the way of the imbedded Muslim.

Huh, one I didn’t see in that photo-op is Jessuh Jackson. Maybe he showed up wearing the shirt with King’s blood (that Jessah smeared on) , and was hauled away by the SS.

This Selma thing has become some kind of sacred religious experience. Those who don’t attend are sinners.

If only we heard as much about the Resurrection during Easter. instead of being bombarded with these new sacraments of political correctness and white guilt.
