One of the VERY FEW media outlets in Florida to not lick Obama's boots.

Florida news.

Maybe, but they spread the blame to Republicans and uncooperative Democrats.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Republicans at the beck and call of a corporate America bent on destroying the middle class cut down Obama at the knees every time he tried to implement something actually humane.

Sort of sounds like a liberal jack ass from here.

Today's Republicans complain about the First Black President spending $1 million of the taxpayers' dollars to fly to Florida to play golf. The Jeffersonian Republicans never complained about the First White President flying to Florida to play golf.

Of course that's because Florida didn't belong to the United States at that time.

Three things are constants....

- Poor blacks vote Democrat almost universally

- One percenters are mostly beneficiaries of regime policy

- The MSM will fail to see the irony of these two facts

Avenue D in Fort Pierce on a weekend night is a great place to go to get killed specially if you be a white devil.

In fairness, Ft. Pierce, a small seaport mostly serving citrus and other agriculture, has always been heavily Black and blue collar, with many stuck in poverty. Obama cannot reasonably be blamed much for its ills.

The more telling point is that Obama neither shows nor advocates virtues that Ft. Pierce's Black folk demonstrated over the years, such as the talent and scrappy truth-telling of resident Zora Neale Huston, the distinctive paintings of the self-taught Florida Highwaymen, and the faith and courage that Ft. Pierce native CeeCee Ross-Lyles demonstrated on Flight 93 on 9/11.

As one newspaper biography of CeeCee recounted:

"Emulating her mother and aunts, she never took welfare, instead working two or three jobs while volunteering at Restoration House, a Christian women's shelter that two of her aunts founded in Fort Pierce.

'CeeCee was a role model, showing women they could make their own way without leeching off the system,' said her aunt, Mareya Schneider. 'In the last few years, she really dedicated herself to the Lord and she would use Scripture to explain that if you don't work, you don't eat.'"

I wish a hurricane would rip through that building.

Ft. Pierce, FL is home to the UDT-SEAL Museum. The predecessors of the UDT, the Navy Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) trained here for Normandy and other invasions before being designated Underwater Demolition Teams. RADM Draper L. Kauffman was the father of today's Explosive Ordnance Disposal and SEALs. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draper_Kauffman.

Many Years ago I ran a distribution warehouse in Ft. Pierce ...

The place was a wasteland back then and see it has not changed...

Razor wire on the fence to keep the locals out at night...
