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.”

For example, the 4th night celebrates the timely delivery of welfare checks.
Yep. Karenga.
Better yet, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are identical to the principles of the SLA.
“Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another charming invention of the Least-Great Generation. In 1974, Patricia Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the SLA’s revolutionary principles: Umojo, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani — precisely the seven “principles” of Kwanzaa.”

Did I miss a Christmas statement? Perhaps I wasn’t paying attention?
Just curious, did he do any sort of announcement for Christmas Chanukah, or Easter?
Kwanzaa...from the Swahili for “let’s see if we can get black folks to overspend over the holidays just like white folks”.
What is it about the tools?
Happy Festivus! I am not putting up a pole this year. To much work.
I can hear it now “Are better off now, than you were 4 years ago?”

fixed it.
On May 9, 1970 he initiated the torture session that led to his imprisonment. The torture session was described in the L.A. Times on May 14, 1971. “The victims said they were living at Karenga’s home when Karenga accused them of trying to kill him by placing crystals in his food and water and in various areas of his house. When they denied it, allegedly they were beaten with an electrical cord and a hot soldering iron was put in Miss Davis’ mouth and against her face.
Police were told that one of Miss Jones’ toes was placed in a small vise, which then was tightened by the men and one woman. The following day Karenga told the women that ‘Vietnamese torture is nothing compared to what I know.” Miss Tamao put detergent in their mouths; Smith turned a water hose full force on their faces, and Karenga, holding a gun, threatened to shoot both of them. The victims Deborah Jones and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothing.”
Karenga was convicted of two counts of felonious assault and one count of false imprisonment. He was sentenced on Sept. 17, 1971 to serve one to ten years in prison. After being released from prison in 1975, he remade himself as Maulana Ron Karenga, went into academics, and by 1979 was running the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach and converted to Marxism. Kwanzaa’s seven principles include “collective work” and “cooperative economics.” He is still there and everyone has almost forgotten the cruel and vicious attacks committed on his fellow blacks. Kwanzaa has been successfully marketed and is now heralded as a great African tradition.”
I sure miss Tony Snow, too. May he RIP. Excellent article he wrote!

It's like 0b0z0 selling Gerber baby prenatal life insurance.
We took the bible outta the classroom, and let snoop dawg in, and we wonder why we don't get Mozarts!
““Michelle and I send warm wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season.”
This is the final and conclusive proof of this guy’s phoniness. Kwanzaa is completely phony, made up in the sixties by a criminal deadbeat.
“he is very dangerous”
That agrees with what the doctor specializing in narcissism said - exactly.
True. . his religion was a guiding light of compassion and devotion to God, not a death-cult moon-rock mass-murdering evil presence.
Extreme barf ping!!!!
Obama is the ultimate chump president - empty platitudes and Marxist policies from an over-active teleprompter.
