President Obama and the first lady released this statement honoring those celebrating Kwanzaa:

“Michelle and I send warm wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. This is a joyous time of year when African Americans and all Americans come together to celebrate our blessings and the richness of our cultural traditions. This is also a time of reflection and renewal as we come to the end of one year and the beginning of another. The Kwanzaa message tells us that we should recall the lessons of the past even as we seize the promise of tomorrow.

“The seven principles of Kwanzaa -- Unity, Self Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith -- express the values that have inspired us as individuals and families; communities and country. These same principles have sustained us as a nation during our darkest hours and provided hope for better days to come. Michelle and I know the challenges facing many African American families and families in all communities at this time, but we also know the spirit of perseverance and hope that is ever present in the community. It is in this spirit that our family extends our prayers and best wishes during this season and for the New Year to come.”

Wasn’t Kwanza, or whatever the hell it is, founded by a black communist?

“The seven principles of Kwanzaa -- Unity, Self Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith -- express the values that have inspired us as individuals and families..."

These seven principles express the values that inspired the Soviet Union.

Uh, Um, Er...Not!

PS: I don't know a single black American who gives a rat's rump about Kwanza.

So this explains his not going to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. the man had time to soend decades listening to Rev. Wright but that was for political reasons and to earn his street creds. This is the Chicago way.
