Obama to Blacks: "I Need Your Help"

I don't have much to walk for. I have a job. so....
the unemployment rate in my house is at an all time low of 0% for those eligible to work.

If mitt romney has mitch daniels as vice president candidate, It may make me dubious of electing Obama.

 

Fuck that bat eared corporate-owned bitch...

Let him ask those illegals he loves so much to help him.

 

I refused to vote for him in the first election just as I refuse to in the next. For multiple reasons, a trojan horse black president is possibly more dangerous to the advancement of the black man than not.

What this country needs is not a president of color, but a president who realizes that politrikkks should not be influenced by corporate interest. Corporate entrenchment in our political system is the root of financial issues in this country. Next take a look at the heads of Americas big corporations and you'll not find a speck of color (or estrogen, for that matter). So, who is our political system driven by really? Where are the 'black' interests represented, really? Where are the 'common person' interests represented, really?

Obama is a black man, sure... a black man used to distract and pacify American blacks. At the end of the day, what has Obama changed for the common American black? What black Americans need is a president who doesn't embrace post-Colonial ideals. The president (black or white) that black Americans need is the president that the caucasion majority fears... the president that TRULY signifies change, the president that TRULY signifies equality. The president (black or white) that black Americans need will not be so embraced and celebrated by the caucasion majority.

Yep...he's nothing but a Trojan horse.

The White Elite loot the nation and put a Black puppet in office so WE can take the blame on street level....AND THEY(gullable Black folk) FELL FOR THAT CRAP

Since the Corporations OWN the governement...the best way to make change is to STAY OUT OF THE MALL.

 

LOL.

 

Just cause you have a job shouldn't preclude you from trying to help others...so that's the problem wiht you young folks these days, only looking out for yourselves...

 

So, let me get this straight...you two would rather have one of the republican incumbants than the so called "Trojan horse?" Please tell me you're rooting for another on the demo side...

 

what is funny is that the one legit candidate (maybe two or three) is being overlooked in the GOP race. They are constantly voting in the straw polls(which really means much of nothing) the big slackjaw yokels.

here are the legit candidates

huntsman
paul
cain.

the last two are suspect. I said the last two while holding my nose. the rest is just crazy.

 

1) you are talking to flaming ...thus it will never get str8
2) we are talking about conservatives.....look at the first three letters of the word CONservatives and they are politicians. you know you are going to get taken for a ride.

 

Great post. We need a president with a backbone, who is not beholden to Wall Street. I don't care if that president is male, female, black, white, gay, straight or plaid. I want a president who has the fortitude to stand up to Wall Street and corporate interests, and who is actually interested in doing right by the people - all the people of every color, gender, orientation, etc.

FDR may have been a privileged white dood (except for his disability) and a son-of-a-bitch, but he was OUR (the people) son-of-a-bitch.

 

the republicans are owned by the SAME corporations that OWN Obama.

THERE IS NO DEFFERENCE.

 

LOL. the lesser of two evils.

 

Why do people assume that; because I don't like chicken I must like beef.

 

...THIS

.... and THIS

 

I don't know. I'm thinking this time it might be pork. Miss Piggy for President!

 

You appear to be a more white breast kind of guy to me, so I'll say that you really prefer chicken over beef

 

Either way you wind up with wickedness.

Was the Associated Press transcription of Obama’s CBC speech ‘racist’?

By Dylan Stableford


By most accounts, President Obama gave a fiery speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual awards dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, telling blacks to "quit crying and complaining" and support him in the fight for jobs, according to the Associated Press. But was the AP transcription of Obama's remarks racist?

That's the subject currently being debated after the issue was raised on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show on Sunday.

On MSNBC, the African-American author Karen Hunter complained the news service transcribed Obama's speech without cleaning it up as other outlets did--specifically including the "dropped g's."

Via the AP version:

"Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes," he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. "Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do."

Hunter called the AP's version "inherently racist," sparring with New Republic contributing editor and noted linguistics expert John McWhorter, who argued the g-less version "is actually the correct one," noting that the president's victory in the 2008 election was due, in part, to how effortlessly "he can switch into that [black] dialect."

Whatever the reason, Hunter found it offensive. "I teach a journalism class, and I tell my students to fix people's grammar, because you don't want them to sound ignorant," she said. "For them to do that, it's code, and I don't like it."

It's worth noting that the same sorts of arguments arose during George W. Bush's presidency, with the White House cleaning up the president's speeches to make him sound smarter, and news outlets sometimes not doing so.

According to Mark Smith, the AP reporter who filed the story, Obama was making a point by dropping his g's, making the transcription a no-brainer.

"Normally, I lean toward the clean-it-up school of quote transcribing—for everyone," Smith told Mediaite. "But in this case, the President appeared to be making such a point of dropping Gs, and doing so in a rhythmic fashion, that for me to insert them would run clearly counter to his meaning. I believe I was respecting his intent in this. Certainly disrespect was the last thing I intended." (exactly!)

"The AP Stylebook counsels against using spellings like gonna or wanna--or in this case, complainin' and cryin'--'in attempts to convey regional dialects or informal pronunciations, except to help a desired touch or to convey an emphasis by the speaker,'" Tom Kent, the AP deputy managing editor for standards and production, said in a statement to The Cutline. "In this case, our reporter, who was there in person, felt the spellings were appropriate to convey a particular touch that President Obama appeared to be intentionally making use of." ( Kent gets it! :smt038 )

Conservative bloggers agree--mainly because the story showed Obama pandering to a black base.

"The first job of a journalist is to report a story as accurately as possible," Howard Portnoy wrote on HotAir.com. "Part of the job of reporting Obama's speech last night was to highlight his obvious pandering, which is borne of desperation. The only element missing from the story is whether any of the listeners were offended by the president's 'blaccent.'"

"The AP did not print the words as written for the president," Mike Opelka wrote on Glenn Beck-owned TheBlaze.com, "instead choosing to transcribe the speech with what might be considered a bit more accuracy."

"He was specifically, and intentionally, using an African-American linguistic style to emphasize his message," a conservative blog called the Last Refuge noted.

"Now that the presidential campaign season has begun," Courtland Milloy wrote in an op-ed column for the Washington Post, "it's okay for President Obama to openly court black people again."

------------------------

Er, I'm white and I sometimes say the words the same way. What drugs is Hunter on? And no please don't fix my "tha' above. I meant it that way. Just like Obama MEANT to say it that way, too. No one needs to ever fix it - the man is articulate and knows the Oxford English better than most.

 

"Take off your bedroom slippers"

And Black people support that bat-eared cocksucker.

He'd never stand in front of a group of whites or mexicans legal or illegal and say shit like that.
