He had some great things to say about Union strikes, but this one seemed appropriate in the context of 0bama....
Among a large class (in Washington D.C.) there seemed to be a dependence upon the Government for every conceivable thing. The members of this class had little ambition to create a position for themselves, but wanted the Federal officials to create one for them. Booker T. Washington
I am sure he comes bearing a case of water and a mint for all and sundry who may be wet.
Excellent!
Booker T. Washington would be the racist's choice so it's a given with this president. He'll work in the floods too. Gag.
King was for individualism but that don’t stop the left in changing history!
BTW’s most famous alum is Marion (’the bitch set me up’) Berry, former mayor of Washington D.C.
Ha! This is BO! He will part the waters and make them recede!
Big mistake-the Mississippi River is cresting at 48 feet today in Memphis. It’s going to be hard for Dear Leader and the MSM to ignore the disaster when they have to drive (row?) through it.
As true today as it was in 1911.
If Obummer knew a thing about Booker T. Washington
(the man), he might have chosen a school whose name
aligned more with his core beliefs.
If only ideals and values could transfer by proximity.
He probably scrubbed CAPA in Pittsburgh after one of their teachers got busted robbing banks, stealing school district computers, and breaking in to her neighbors’ homes, all to support a heroin habit.
I don’t know how Hitech High got that far. They didn’t have a chance because they are too white..and located at a former Navy Training Center in the heart of San Diego.
Good lesson on PC for those youngsters.
Whew. I’m glad he didn’t choose Washington State.
BOOKER T. WOULD NEVER SUPPORT FLOODING THE NATION WITH ILLEGALS AND THE DEATH OF THE WORK ETHIC
Ditto.
Booker T. High School has 100% black student body and, most likely, 100% black staff. Just right for Obama the “uniter”.
I always rely on a Dem party run push poll front group like PPP for my Barry -Axelrod push poll propaganda !
My guess is that Obama has not a clue what Booker T. Washington's position was on race baiting for votes or profit.
I would also be willing to make a small wager that Obama is also clueless about Fredrick Douglas and more importantly and more recently Thomas Sowell.
