Allen West: “This Is Not An Imperial Empire, Obama Is Not An Emperor”…

(The Hill) — The only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) said this week that it was “absolutely offensive” for President Obama to tell the African-American community to stop complaining and grumbling.

“This is not an Imperial Empire, he is not an emperor,” Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) told Conservative New Media after a recent town hall, seemingly making a reference to the villain of the sci-fi “Star Wars” films. “The First Amendment says that you have the right to redress your government for your grievances. . . . We have a right to say, in the black community, that we’re hurting. We need to hear more than hope and change.”

CBC members mostly responded cautiously to Obama’s remarks last weekend at the CBC’s Phoenix Awards Dinner, but indicated that his tone in addressing the group was unexpected.

“Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying,” Obama urged the crowd. “I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.”

    At least Obama is not spewing out CO2 in his mode of transport. Of course he probably got to his bike ride on Air Force One and is being followed by a large number of motor vehicles. So, although he is only exhaling a small amount of CO2, his carbon footprint is immense.

    When did jughead trade in the step-thru? Now that pic would have made a great juxtaposition; although the one above is pretty good, too.

    So odd, Allen West and Herman Cain are the real deal and the CBC goes for the way watered down dude….I just don’t get it at all. The pos is not a Black American, in fact he’s not an American at all! He’s not black either.

    No, Obama did not say, “Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying,” he said, “Shake it off. Stop complainin’, stop grumblin’, stop cryin’,” in his aw shucks affected “negro dialect”. I guess The Hill didn’t want to be accused of racism for accurately quoting Mr. Obama, like the AP was. Cowards.

    “Real men ride motercycles and eat meat with their vegies girliemen ride bicycles and eat veggieburgers”

    I own, ride and work on my 2 Harleys, eat meat, ride a bicycle and eat veggieburgers topped with salsa on occasion.

    I also drink beer, wine on occasion and diet pop all day long.

    I am not sure whether to say thank you or fuck you.

    You can bet that when someone says they don’t have time to feel sorry for themself that that is all they have time for.

    Time to have the locks changed on the White House doors.
