I think his campaign is just doing damage control to prevent or slow the leak of the gaffes that will be made by our slick affirmative action ivy leagurer why leading such an intellectual group.
Yes, he chooses his audiences for thier liberalism and socialism. Trying to build the radical leftist vote.
Have to wonder about the CMU connection.
This is where Omarosa had an appearance and her lackies told an Asian girl to move because they wanted more white people.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! talk about the blind and ignorant “leading” the blind and ignorant.
Burp Obama who has NO (read zero, zilch, nyet, nada, nicht, none) experience in economics leading a dicussion at a university where neither the students NOR rthe professors have any real-world experience in economics.
Should be a pretty short discussion.
WTF does this ninny know about the ins and outs of competitiveness and the world economy?? Has he ever ran a business that deals globally? Has he ever tried to compete against foreign markets domestically, or tried to get a shoe in in a market dominated elsewhere by subsidized businesses that have the backing of an entire nation to help their bottom line?
This jackass is so far over his head even scuba gear wouldn't help him and yet he still acts like he has a fracking plan that will make it easier to compete globally.
Frankly I would have more respect if he just came out and admitted he didn't know jack about such a complex thing, that he would rely on successful business leaders who know the subject intimately to formulate his plan for him.
We are so screwed if this guy gets elected....
SEIU is an enormous supporter of all things socialist. They dumped nearly a million into defeating Al Wynn in Maryland.

As for closed-door meetings, that speaks volumes about Ubama. Meeting with SEIU and their documented attack ads should be all over the media, har har, if only the media had any journalists.

Early in his youth Obama “questioned” authority. His team mates on his basketball team said he would always argue with the coach over game strategy while riding the pine. Smarmy little bleep, wasn’t he?
Yes he is, I swear if he gets into office I will honestly consider closing my shop up and work for someone else. I see so much BS coming down the pipe if he gets in that it will just break my heart to watch what he will do to us.
That coach he argued against won the State Championship despite ignoring Barack’s advice. In fact, being up 32-11 at the half, it looks like it was a blow-out before Barry even got in the game. Maybe Barack wanted to “change” the outcome of the game.
To Quote Col. Robert Ingersoll: In the first place, I claim that the Democratic party embraces within its filthy arms the worst elements in American society.
To Quote again: The Democratic party is a political tramp with a yellow passport.
To Quote a third time: The Democratic party learns nothing; the Democratic party forgets nothing. The Democratic party does not know that the world has advanced a solitary inch since 1860. Time is a Democratic dumb watch. It has not given a tick for sixteen years. The Democratic party does not know that we, upon the great glittering highway of progress, have passed a single mile-stone for twenty years. The Democratic party is incapable of learning. The Democratic party is incapable of anything but prejudice and hatred. Every man that is a Democrat is a Democrat because he hates something; every man that is a Republican is a Republican because he loves something.
Obama to lead economic discussion? - - my a$$ - - he’s there for a tutorial - - he’s the student.
Wasn't Pena the Sec'y of Energy when the Wen Ho Lee thingy happened? It's certain he doesn't know anything about security, and since he was a Clintonoid he for sure knows EL ZIPPO about real-world economics.
