White House Aide Says Obama Upset Black Leaders Aren’t Giving Him Any Credit: “The Whole Thing Is Bull-Shit”…
Civil war.
(Politico) — If there’s anything close to a political certainty in 2012, it’s that Barack Obama will get more than 90 percent of the African-American vote.
But that doesn’t mean every black Obama supporter will vote for him happily – nor does it guarantee that turnout will approach the stratospheric levels of 2008, even though Obama needs a huge showing from his base to offset the expected loss of swing voters in states like North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
With that in mind, prominent black leaders — fearing Obama is not only taking them for granted but avoiding them in public — have turned up the heat on the nation’s first African-American president, transforming all-in-the-family concerns into open criticism of the president at a time when they had hoped the completion of a monument to Martin Luther King Jr. near the National Mall would bring a moment of unity.
The leaders are tired, they say, of Obama dog-whistling his support for a broad black agenda rather than explicitly embracing the kind of war on racism, poverty and economic segregation embodied by King.
“You can spend a lot of time trying to win over white independents, but if you don’t pay attention to your base, African Americans, if you have not locked up your base yet, you’ve got a serious problem,” said CNN contributor Roland Martin.
In a striking turnabout for a president who has rewritten American racial history, Obama finds himself the target of criticism from the black cultural and political elite that has, for the most part, been leery of airing its disappointment.
The president is reportedly angry that African-American leaders aren’t crediting him for his hard-bought achievements that will especially help communities of color, including health care reform, aid to cities, student aid and protecting Medicaid.
“The whole thing is bull-sh-t… We have met with [black leaders] more than any other group and we are increasing our outreach,” said a person close to Obama.
But Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Calif.), who represents several predominantly-black Los Angeles-area neighborhoods, brings up an issue that African-American leaders repeatedly raise when talking about Obama: They say he’s worried about being too closely identified with the community that gave him inspiration and bedrock support.
“I understand that you’ve got to be president for all people, but this administration has gone just too far, they really don’t even say ‘African-American’ or talk about [our] specific issues,” Richardson told POLITICO.

Well, guess what . . . I am not black, did not vote for him, will not vote for him . . . but he better be working for me on the same level as he works for any other citizen.
Politico has their percentage of the African-American votes wrong.
0Bama could take a crap on the bust of MLK in the oval office on national TV and he will garner 99% of the black vote, including those voting two or more times.
I don’t know what they complain about. Obama has done a great job destroying the economy for all Americans. He’s screwed EVERYBODY over.
Allen West is right, Obama can count on his good little slaves on the Democrat plantation.
Heh…heh…heh…It’s coming unravelled.
A double temper tantrum.
How… dignified.
Bwahahahahah. The racists are now calling Obama a racist, because he wasn’t racist enough for them.
“You can spend a lot of time trying to win over white independents, but if you don’t pay attention to your base, African Americans, if you have not locked up your base yet, you’ve got a serious problem,” said CNN contributor Roland Martin.

A base… by the way…. which makes up only 12% of the population
“But that doesn’t mean every black Obama supporter will vote for him happily”
Welcome to my world. In the last election, I had to hold my nose and vote for John McCain. If Sarah Palin hadn’t been on the ticket I probably would have stayed home.
Its because his base is the Black Panthers
OK, help me out here………which side is “RACIST!”?
.
Obama’s mulatto. He pimps both ways.
“I understand that you’ve got to be president for all people, but this administration has gone just too far,” says Laura Richardson D-Calif.

Too far? Meaning that (in her mind) a black president should spend the majority of his time focusing on the black community….12-14% of the population.
So, on top of her abysmal ignorance regarding job creation, she proclaims her racism in no uncertain terms.
If a white president was called upon to spend a great amount of his time specifically on white community problems, can you imagine her response?
First off, it’s all taqyiia, black is a solid block.Secondly, ubama just went up in my estimation. That has got to be at least 1/2 a can of skoal he got in that lower lip. Wonder if he kisses m’chele with that mouth?
Oooohh, cat fight!! Black on Black!
Before getting them freebies to continue being a slave to the government, or as you say, the democrats, he took away the scchool vouchers to good schools where they could learn to be something other than a parasite!!
Can’t stand the thought of blacks earning a living, paying for health care, rent, groceries on their own. If the blacks aare mad about anything , THIS should be what they are angry about!!
“You can spend a lot of time trying to win over white independents, but if you don’t pay attention to your base, African Americans, if you have not locked up your base yet, you’ve got a serious problem”
Wow…the stupidity is astounding! The mutt would never have been elected had it not been for the white-guilt voters! WHITE PEOPLE alone elected teh first 1/2 black president.
White alone
(of which 26.7 million are White Hispanic and Latino Americans, see table below.
Excluding these, this category comprises 63.7% or 196.8 million) 223,553,265 72.4%
Black or African American alone 38,929,319 12.6%
Damn, looks like Jessie Jackson’s gonna’ nut me yet
OsamaHusseinIslamObama 2012′ (WTF)
(the terrorist-Uighur-ACORN-media choice)
-It’s never too early to campaign-
Obama could care less about the blacks. He golfs, vacations, and parties while black unemployment remains the highest in the nation. Facts speak for themselves.
Going on that Mid-West Crakkka Bus Tour is what really has the Blacks pissed off. LMFAO!
You watch, just like in 2008 Obama will neglect Blacks until the very end of the campaign when he goes to campaign events at mostly Black areas and uses racist dog whistles to stoke anti-White racism like he did with his “hoodwink and bamboozle” Malcolm X bullshit.
Oh No! Guess he is worried his percentage of the black vote may fall to the low 90′s in 2012. He should really be worried about all the guilty white liberals who got him in the first time and now have buyers remorse.
The is no reason for the First Racist to be concerned about black votes. Sure he dropped from 96 to 81% for now, but Nov 2012 the black vote will be up to 127% as usual…dead or alive.
Dear Black Community,
So sorry that you are only now figuring out that Obama is an empty suit who tries to be all things to all people and will say one thing while doing another. We understand your disillusionment and disappointment must be enormous. We figured him out as a big fraud from day one, but nobody wanted to listen to us, and we were called racists and worse for even questioning his suitability as President.
Love,
Everyone Else
The Gimme-Gimmies are beginning to piss-off our Fearless
Leader. ‘Bout time!
NOTHING BUT A ”CRY BABY”……ITS ALWAYS ME, ME, & MORE ME.
CAN’T STAND THE TO LOOK AT HIM.
