Congressional Black Caucus Chief: If We Didn’t Have a Black President “We’d Probably Be Marching On The White House”…
In other words: Obama is a complete and total failure but since he’s black we won’t hold him accountable.
(The Hill) — Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).
“If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday. “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”
CBC members have expressed concern in recent months as the unemployment rate has continued to rise amongst African-Americans, pushing for Obama to do more to address the needs of vulnerable communities.
“We’re supportive of the president, but we getting tired, y’all,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in August. “We want to give [Obama] every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is.”
Rather than targeting Obama’s leadership, many CBC members aimed their fire at the Tea Party movement over the summer’s congressional recess. Waters said in a public meeting in her district that the Tea Party “can go straight to hell.” Another member, Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), called the Tea Party “the real enemy” seeking to hold Congress “hostage.”

Race fools & tools
“Marching On The White House”? Sounds like a Tea Party event to me. I thought they despised the Tea Party, and called them a bunch of terrorists.
Make your mind up FFS
Talk about lazy. If not a march, can’t they at least muster the enthusiasm to shuffle or sidle against Obama’s white half? C’mon, victims of white oppression, show some spunk!
Racism at it’s best! Or worst, considering the implications.
The CBC, NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson etc., screaming racism while practicing it with great zeal!
I spit on them. Since they claimed we did it when we didn’t, why not?
Congressman Beaver Cleaver sure has a very white name. Can’t get much whiter than Ward, June, Wally, and the Beav.
Another words because we are black and so is the president, we have decided to set the bar even lower than it is for the usual liberal democrat.
REPREHENSIBLE!!
Congressional Crack Caucus
I betcha Congressman Beaver Cleaver ain’t got no friends named, “Whitey” either.
They don’t even bother to hide it anymore.
The message is Obama isn’t spreading around the goodies. But Obama learned in Chicago that fools like these will continue to support him hoping for some of the table scraps so the message is STFU
This guy’s too stupid to realize he’s a racist a$$hole. OOps, I forgot, only whites are racist……/sarc off
But, but …. but; he’s 1/2 white. So what’s keeping you from marching against the white part of him?
Its is nice to know the CBC gives a fellow black a pass for incompetence. I guess they would have higher standards and expectations of a white president. Am I a racist for thinking this is racist?
I’ll say it again – the CBC are perfectly willing to let their constituents rot in miserable neighborhoods, crime ridden hell, filthy streets, hopelessness and despair, broken families – but only as long as a brother is in the White House. The minute a white guy gets in, it’ll be all his/her fault. It’s a wonder the blacks don’t riot on their representatives.
Their all about affirmative action. So Barry gets a pass
“probably would be marching on the White House”
And this is different from any other day, week, month, or year in what way?
RTS
Black Schmack. Grow up and quite your damn belly-aching whining black ass crap. We don’t care anymore.
What is that person behind Cleaver? A man in drag?or Transvestite?
Tell me Cleaver, is that all you can do is take it from the producer and give it your voter that feels it is owed to them. Do you really think that ” Whitey” is the problem? When “John Gault” does not show up one day… then what do you do?
Cleaver, I used to have respect for some of the members of the CBC—I have ZERO now.( besides our 5 star General to be..Mr West) And by the way, I was witness to your ploy outside the Cannon building in March of 2010 when you claimed you heard the N-word and someone spit on you. I know you are a complete fraud.. I was there and I saw it with my own eyes. YOU ARE A LIAR .
I am a proud and unrepentant member of the TEA PARTY and we are indeed going to marginalize you and rip OBAMACARE out by the roots. If you want to tell the truth and talk about individual responsibility, self-reliance and personal initiative then we are game.
They’re Obama’s useful idiots, and they don’t even know it.
Anyone see John Stossel’s special on charter shcools vs. public.
The libs always claim they care about the children. But the libs hate charter schools because their non-union.
The differences in test scores is mind numbing and cost a fraction per student.
Most libs send their children to private school because they are better.
So only thing they care about is union kickbacks.
They really could give two shits about the children
Cleaver is basically saying if a white guy was this fucked up they would march but a black fuck up of this magnitude gets a bye? Racist black is no different than racist white. Im ashamed he is a Methodist minister.
Ignorant and Racist comments from the finest the CBC has to offer.
Da brothas and da sistas have to stick wit da Big Brotha.
Had Obama focused his time on the horrendous
murder and mayhem in primarily black neighborhoods his presidency may have had great effect.
Ridding cities of this plague not only saves innocent lives but also makes them more attractive to businesses.
But no, instead Obama’s DOJ has given guns to Mexican drug runners while meanwhile sending armed US Marshal’s to raid Gibson.
Obama is an epic knucklehead and so it appears are his followers.
I never see allen west in any of these ‘group’ photos
It,s the same thing as when gangs stick together and don’t turn on them selves
The first affirmative action prez !
From a Facebook friend….
The car in front of me had a bumper sticker on it. It read: “Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8.” When I got home I opened my bible to the scripture and read it and started laughing. Psalm 109:8 –“Let his days be few and brief; And let others step forward to replace him.” At last –I can voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Let us bow our heads and pray. I did….
Using the litteral definition…that’s about as “racist” of a statement one could possibly make.
Worse yet, Mitchell won’t even let them have their fried chicken and French fries.
Cleaver is obviously a racist.
He’s admitted that Obama receives special treatment from his circle of friends BECAUSE OF the color of his skin.
.
cleaver , is that a threat you cowardly bastard? you will hide with the chickens when the time comes. chickenshits always do.
not a jot of integrity among that crowd.
We’re black!
We’re bitter!
And we blame it on YOU!
Knuckleheads.
what do u want gov. to do exactly? spell it out children…
how u expect ‘private’ companies to hire people that cant even read, or do just want some of dat stash fo all de votes that took u five minutes of work.
Affirmative Action meets Affirmative Inaction
I don’t guess it would be fair to hold an affirmative action president to the same standard of performance as a president elected on merit.
Well, if there wasn’t a CBC these idiots would actually have to do the job that they’re being paid to do and that would pretty hard ;considering most of them are academic affirmative action recipients. Why can’t we have a Congressional White Caucus? Oh yeah, I forgot .. only white folks can be racist!
The congressional black cockroaches another slip off of the BLACK PANTHERS and NATION of ISLAM
This is some funny shit…..I don’t care who you are!
What you racist community organizers will never admit is the fact that he created the black unemployment problem to begin with!
“We’re supportive of the president, but we getting tired, y’all,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in August. “We want to give [Obama] every opportunity, but our people are hurting.
You elected him you ignorant, ugly bitch! You got what wished for now stuff that in your ho-bag, left coast crack pipe and smoke it! And what about your white constituents? You don’t seem to even acknowledge their existence but of course its must be all about “our people” You dirt bags are a pathetic embarrassment.
Unemployment in construction is 21.2%, I wish these guys would tell the truth. We all need to education ourself in this tough market only way is a degree or change your career.. search online for “High Speed University” for career advice
The biggest enemy, the biggest reason the black people in this country are in the condition they are, is THEM.
As an employer, I wouldn’t hire a black worker if he / she was the last warm body left on the planet.
Just having a “black” caucus seems racist to me – members of Congress aligning themselves by the color of their skin is not healthy and very divisive. It shouldn’t be allowed.
I’m sure Allen West would agree to a march against this President.
Wouldn’t this make Martin Luther King spin in his grave?
“There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”
Translation: “We don’t want to do anything that would help prove affirmative action is indeed a failure…and at the highest level”.
And there ought to be no such thing as the CBC. And while I am at it, there ought to be no such thing as a Congressman visiting a foreign country to talk any kind of policy unless they are helping a citizen in their district or promoting business from their district.
Just how in the hell did we get ANY cotton picked?
So if a white republican hates Obama because of this story. Is he a racist?
Or is he finally a compassionate consertive?
Hey Cleaver, he’s 1/2 white. Get to it already.
So a representative of all the people of a district only shows concern for one race.
And it is ok a politician fails miserably because of his skin color.
But you would turn on your own voters,party and country, by supporting failure, based on someone s skin color .
And you are holding one man responsible for the economic situation you created ,promoted and voted on,thereby failing the people you represent .
Good job showing your extreme racism,failure to represent your voters,failure to support your own bills,leader,state,country and democracy.
You are a shameful,racist,greedy group that do not deserve any job in the US.
If Obama was a Republican, they’d call him white.
That comment alone is why I’m more of a racist today, than ever in my life. Blacks rarely want to hold other Blacks responsible, or liable for anything. Remember their reaction to OJ getting off, no care whether he was guilty. Only that another ‘bro’, didn’t go to jail.
It’s got to be a bitch for guys like Allen West, Herman Cain, both of which I would vote for in a heartbeat, to see what a worthless race they belong to.
Maybe it is time to ask White People to match to White House?
Hey, hey
Ho, ho
This half-honky
Has to go
U mad bro?
The hypocrisy of the CBC is absolutely mind numbing. Not only are they treating their constituents as if they are sheeple, but obviously they are depending upon it. The power of a vote in this country has been greatly diminished by the uneducated and uninformed as evidenced by these buffoons. Leaders are needed in government not rabble rousers and malcontents.
This clip is a shameful display at the best and a loosely veiled threat at the worst. I know alot of folks say “No Bama in 2012!”, but the larger truth is that we as a nation of free people need to clean our government of representatives such as these…irrespective of their ethnicity or party affiliation. We simply cannot continue with leadership like this.
“If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver told “The Miami Herald”
Do the words of themselves above not show that they are just as much a racist as any one else? we should not wait till 2012, there are issues enough right now to impeach the president.
Ilove your website
