Frankly, President Obama, Charlie doesn't give a damn.

From my story on the Obama-Rangel drama:

[A] person close to the Rangel tells POLITICO the embattled Democrat “doesn’t give a damn about what the president thinks about this” and won’t step down.

“[Obama’s] statement comes as no surprise to us,” said a person close to Rangel, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly for the congressman. “We’re not surprised by this, we’ve known the people in the White House have felt this way for a while, but this doesn’t change anything for us.”

What was it Jesse Jackson snarled into the open mike? “Cut his nuts off ?”

Even Scarlett has the popcorn out!

David Paterson
Charlie Rangel
Maxine Waters.

What do they have in common?

All three are Black Democrats that supported Hillary.

Nobody dare upset Dear Leader.

If the story is accurate, I may just have to agree with ol Charlie for once (even a broken clock is right twice a day). I don’t give a damn what Obama thinks either.

[Rumplemeyer]

This will be interesting, a family fight, the dirty laundry, complete with skid-marks, will be aired for all to see.
Wonder what other surprises will see the light of day, Rangel is a bum, and will take them all with him as he goes down.

hussein obamar wanted New York Governor David Paterson to not run again too. That didn’t work out so well for obamar.

Cat fight.

Obama is acting stupidly and rushing to judgment. We cannot just throw Charlie under the bus until we know the full context of his thirteen ethics violations. We should all insist on a trial. And I don’t care if the trial drags on all the way to election day in November! Charlie’s crimes deserve an airing.

[KansasGirl]

Is it possible that Obama might start shedding black support?

[ViLaLuz]

Charlie will get Hillary to whip out Obama’s citizenship documentation.

“doesn’t give a damn about what the president thinks about this”

Oh happy day!

I think we are going to need a bigger bus.

He will when the hammer (and cycle) comes down. When Obma (Soros) speaks Rangel will go.

Right. He needs his day in court.

Maybe we should start a legal defense fund for him?

Obama's comment was senseless, cruel and unnecessary.

Forget Charlie maybe a crook.Okay almost certainly. Still he has a right to confront those who accuse him.

I am still willing to let him face his accusers, why isn't Obama? Can you imagine being an 80 year old black man who lived through all the historic changes from the days of "legal" segregation to helping secure the election of the first black President, only to be brainlessly dissed by that same man for cheap party politics?

[Red in Blue PA]

Stick a fork in Charlie.....he's done.

[kevao]

We don’t want Charlie done until November 1.

She looks a lot like my ex-girlfriend from the early 80’s.
A popcorn queen herself!

[Boxsford]

No, no, no.....mongrels

lulz......both idiots should be put in jail..... =.=

The OBoomerRangel effect does fly 180 degrees bi-directional. Karma may be an equal and opposite reaction!

I've been asking myself, "Why Rangel, why now?" Rangel is no more corrupt than any other 'Rat. And surely they've known about all these misdeeds for a long time. Maybe it's the Hillary thing. Maybe it's something else...

[kbennkc]

Oh man that is racist somehow.

[csvset]

Is Pelosi about to bite someone?

She looks rabid.

[Red in Blue PA]

[OrangeHoof]

Don’t go, Charlie! We need you as a poster child for Democrat corruption this fall.

[GOPJ]

It’s POPCORN time!!!!

[GOPJ]

Charlie needs to fight.

That tax fraud stuff? It's nothing but a bunch of crackers tryin' to make Charlie into a slave.

Fight the man.. sing a few bars of 'we shall overcome' - take an honorable song and piss on it with your corruption, Charlie. We'll be eating popcorn... lovin' every lie...

[kbennkc]

Maybe we should start a legal defense fund for him?

Maybe someone could fix up his Mercedes while all this is going on. He would be walking down the steps all sad after being expelled, they pull up "Surprise we pimped your ride". Little things like that mean a lot to a guy feeling low.

[wku man]

Rangel "doesn't give a damn" what Obama thinks

Well dang...Rangel and I have something in common after all. Who'd a-thunk it?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[shield]

Wonder if Rangel has thought of being the deep throat of 2010...give us the Kenyan B/C...along with all his other records...HA HA...the dems are again eating their own...

why would he, even charlie the thief knows duh bummer is a dweeb..

[aeonspromise]

It’s still talkin..

[Left2Right]

For a guy who is 80 years old, he actually gives me hope in a strange sort of way!

[MinuteGal]

Barry Dearest has to watch his step here. Wrangle has been around longer than dirt....and the blacks like him and they like the fact he represents Harlem.

I'll bet they'd throw Obama under the bus before they'd dump Charley.

Since reading this report I’ve been sitting here literally shaking my head. I’m having a hard time believing the Democrats are this close to full meltdown. Yet, how else can this be explained?
