RANGEL: OBAMA SHOULD 'WATCH HIS BACK' IN HARLEM

There's nothing like a tragic police shooting to bring a guffaw out of Rep. Charlie Rangel.

The veteran Harlem pol quipped that even President Obama, in town here for a Broadway show, should watch his back.

In all fairness to the people of Harlem, they didn’t actually vote for them. ACORN registered them as voters and voted for them. Many probably didn’t even know there was an election, given that only 45% of the populace take part in voting.

I remember the great Jesse Helms joked that Clinton should bring lot’s of body guards to Eastern NC and the crook Chriss Dodd said Helms should step down as Chairman of the foreign relations committee. Should Rangel go to jail?

Ya know, you can take the boy out of the “hood”, but you can’t take the “hood” out of the boy.

I guess the analogy to a nation stealing suspect was too close to deny the danger...

...The only “shovel ready” jobs worth having is getting the manure out of elected office...

Did any of you guys read the article? He said the POLICE wouldn’t know if he was the President.

I think most black Americans are tired of opportunistic politicians using them to promote themselves as saviors.

Yes, that's what I think.

Ya know, you can take the boy out of the “hood”, but you can’t take the “hood” out of the boy.

I worked as a part time supervisor at UPS for a while (for the insurance).

At one of our meetings, the Puerto Rican manager's cell phone began emitting an loud, obnoxious hip-hop jingle.

Joe, an esteemed (and black) associate, quipped, "You can take de bwah out-de-get-doe but you can't take de-get-doe-out-de-bwah."

I still chuckle when I think about it after all this time.

Racist p*ick Rangel doesn’t know that it was the dead officer’s fault. He didn’t put his gun down when the white cop identified himself.

I want a freaking March next time a white person is killed by a black person. I want it to go right past these racist a**holes offices.

Was that a threat, Charlie?

if I (or any large number of Freepers, I’m sure) saw some character with a gun pointed at Zero, well, we’d have to do some serious butt kicking and put the jerk out of business.

It is the Presidency. He is the President.

Not to mention the fact that if anything were to happen to Zero then the idiot plagiarizer walking gaffe machine would become POTUS, and Stretch would then be only one heartbeat away from the presidency.
