Al Sharpton Arguably Now the Most Powerful Person in America

Outside of the president, Al Sharpton might possibly be the most powerful man in America right now. And no, that isn’t an overstatement.

Think about what the 60-year-old activist and MSNBC host has going for him right now:

Power Indicator #1: Sharpton has been to the White House to advise President Barack Obama, his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, or both. No big deal, right? Plenty of MSNBC hosts have visited over the past six years.

Care to guess, according to the White House Visitor Log, just how many times Sharpton has visited since Mr. Obama took office? Five times? Nope. 15 times? Try again. 25 times? Getting warmer. He’s visited at least 35 times. Quite the feat considering Sharpton is an unelected official living about 250 miles away from DC.

People in NYC admire him, but now he’s a national icon.

Whose body has Sharpton’s head been photo shopped atop??? Sharpton’s body should be photo shopped onto Olive Oyl rather than Popeye to be believable!

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

For Obama and his Communist handlers to openly and daringly commit impeachable treason at this time didn’t just happen without careful planning. We just saw this administration and their MSM lapdogs take a non event like a white policeman shooting a black thug in self defense and cause our black population to take to the streets in open revolt from one side of this country to the other. If they will act like this over a dead thug, how do you think our black population would react if a white Congress and Senate dared to impeach a black President?

Obama has shown Congress he has not only a pen and a phone, but he also has an army of black thugs at his disposal.

Sharpton could be living on the back porch of the White House, and that worthless piece of garbage still wouldn’t have power over me or my life.

Sharpton can work to destroy every single Black community in America and he still wouldn’t have power over me.

As for Obama and his assumed power, well he has some, it comes with that position, but Obama can not lead a People who refuse to follow. For over 6 years I have refused to follow that POS and I never will.

His only power is over the MSM...they manage to stick multiple cameras and microphones in his face where and when ever he appears.

As Jock Ewing said to Bobby in “Dallas”, “Power is something you take, if I gave you power I gave you nothing”
Sharpton doesn’t have power and would not know how to take it under any circumstances.
What A Jackass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the first black mayor of new york city, david dinkins, was elected, sharpton made numerous visits to the mayors office. Often unannounced. And he was never turned away. The mayor would see him even though sharpton didn’t have an appointment. Dinkins pretty much handcuffed the cops and allowed racial arsonists to control the streets. As a consequence, racial tensions shot up and a few people died.

Dinkins was kicked out of office after only one term. The voters replaced him with rudy giulliani. On rudys very first day in office, sharpton showed up at the mayors office, without an appointment. Probably as a test to see if rudy would kowtow to him too. Rudy refused to see him. Sharpton and his aides waited for a couple of hours before leaving. Without having seen the new mayor.

The most powerful person in America? Let's see: the African-American population of the U.S. is 14.1 per cent.

Even with those few Caucasians who adamantly supporter Black American causes, let's say that raises the total 17.0 percent, HOW DOES THAT MAKE SHARPTON THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN AMERICA?
Another total fabrication by the America media.
