President Obama officially launched “African Americans for Obama” in the video below. Of course he used the same old class warfare rhetoric we’ve all become so accustomed to.
How post-racial of him.
According to Prison Planet, the campaign is urging African Americans to violate the law and get their churches to shill for his reelection.
Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state. In the video promo for the campaign, Obama urges black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via “the faith community”. He also calls on voters to become “congregation captains”.
Again, imagine what the reaction would be any of the Republican candidates launched a ‘Whites for Romney’, ‘Whites for Santorum’ or ‘Whites for Gingrich’ campaign. There would be non-stop uproar. But Obama does the equivalent and gets a free pass.
“I thought race didn’t matter Mr. President?” asks Chad Hasty. “I don’t think MLK would be too pleased with you at all. African-Americans for Obama? Give me a break. Under this President, more blacks are unemployed. More blacks are on food stamps. If I had to bet though, Obama will still pull 93% of the black vote. Again, just a wild guess.”
As part of his efforts to lock down the black community as a voting bloc, Obama has arrived in Florida accompanied by an invasion of rappers and NBA basketball stars – all at taxpayer expense. (Read More)
Why does he want the “black” vote? He doesn’t want the “white” vote? Is that some kind of discrimination? Shouldn’t there be affirmative action for this kind of thing?
Good grief. I mean….really, what else can you say? What a seriously despicable thing to those of us who really didn’t grow up with color as an issue. With few exceptions, my black friends are so unimpressed with Barack Obama he couldn’t PAY them enough to vote for him and they get really irked when people make an assumption about their votes—as they should!
Buffoon. B-U-F-F-O-O-N……

If the economy is improving then why did Bernanke of the Federal Reserves say interest rates will stay at 0% until after 2014, the housing market will take another hit seeing more foreclosures, unemployment will rise again and he illuded to printing even more money. Watch this video and then see if you wanna keep drinking the cool aid. Nohttp://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/29/us-bernanke-idUSTRE81S16Y20120229

Ron Paul is not a Mormon. Mitt Romney is. In addition to Mormons for Romney, there is also “Rich Douche Bags for Romney.”
Hot debate. What do you think?

Where is the uproar about this crap? I can’t believe that White People aren’t raising hell about this. Today is the first that I heard about this, on a radio show in Denver, I couldn’t believe there hasn’t been much more being said about it. I’m telling you I will join a group against this idiot, someone with some power, Please get something started, I’d bet a bunch of us conservative Republican’s will get on board!

Just more blatant racism that is stupidly being allowed. Why in the world black this and black that is allowed and it is not allowed for white people to be white or any other race to have their own agenda for themselves is beyond me. I never thought I’d live to see such bullshit. This is blatantly wrong in every aspect and should find some legal liability for any candidate to pull the race card. If he just wants to be president for the black people then it’s time for him to get out and let someone who wants to be black for all of the people of the USA be president… to think that if it’s good for black people that it’s good for the USA is stupid.

It doesn’t matter if 100% of blacks vote for Dear Leader on the Raaaaacist ticket, it takes a vast number of non-blacks to win. After last election when non-blacks came out in droves to vote him in, Dear Leader trots AG Holder out to tell us we’re cowards in confronting race in this country. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18999.html
He then steps in it defending his raaaaacist professorial buddy, not knowing the facts, accusing law enforcement of acting “stupidly”. It culminated with the “Beer Summit”. White cop exonerated in front of the nation.
AG Holder again plays racial favorites turning his back on the New Black Panthers voting intimidation case. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703559604576176381487078812.html
Assistant AG’s testify before congress, some resign in disgust, the LMSM turns its head and the music plays on.
Our President, that from day one has used every divisive tactic on Americans, from money to race to religion to the type of energy and foodstuffs you consume, continues to claim the title of unifier, bringing us all together as a nation. He uses his skin color to dupe and convey victim status and a comradery as a person that “struggled” as a non-white. Nonsense, he’s never struggled and as a President we know very little detail about his past. We do know that he had a black father and a white mother, but I believe skin color is just that and it’s what’s inside a person that counts and if you could look inside this man you’d find him a very deep, committed red.

Cannot why any white person who is not a dedicated communist would vote for this miserable snake. It is totally depressing that he can be reelected. Keep those double Manhattans coming!

Many people make hay out of Samuel L Jackson saying he voted for Obama because he is black. Well it’s easy to say that is poor judgement on his part, but considering the totality of history, it makes perfect sense that “black America” would vote for Obama. I see no problem with that. Frankly, I appreciate his answer much better than if he has said “I voted for Obama because I was looking for a man to shred this awful Constitution and finally implement Marxism here in the west”.
Now, that Obama pulled the black vote (and yes, on racial credentials) in 2008 is one thing – and I say it is an understandable thing… a obvious thing. BUT if Obama pulls anywhere near the same percentage in 2012 that would demonstrate that there is some fundamental difference between the races of this planet.
It’s more than a meter of belief… I know there is not and I know that black American will not be responsible for the votes Obama gets this time around. His votes come from (yes… many blacks… sure) but from whites that can’t get past party politics (too many years spent routing for the favorite sports teams) and from whites who believe in “progressive” ideals.
One thing I believe that is significant in eliminating Obama’s reliance on the black vote he has in 2008 is that the Christian influence in the African American community is strong and effectively “trumps” race. Obama clearly has misrepresented himself as a Christian and that infuriates Christians white, black and otherwise.
Another factor, I believe, in reducing the black vote for Obama is that there have risen some seriously strong leaders of conservative credentials who are black. More than just a few “tokens” as the liberal whites like to say, there are many such men and you just can’t get past their strength. Although there are many, and Herman Cain is obvious, congressman Allen West is a great example of a man who is able to combine intellect with character, leadership and articulation in such a way that his opposition (regardless of their race) cannot talk over him or past him.
Happily (IMO) Clarance Thomas is a man who has waited a very long time to break free of him being a black man to being an American who all Americans can be proud of as a representative of our nation. Sad that it has taken 25 years to get there, but the past. Clarance Thomas is way more than a role model for race… he is a role model for America.
In conclusion – the bulk of this post will be rejected and my name excoriated by liberals (progressives, socialists, Marxists all the same thing). Yeah, so what?
