Top Black Dem On Obama Bus Tour: "He's Not In Any Black Community"

"We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired. We're getting tired. So, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show -- to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told a Congressional Black Caucus-sponsored gathering yesterday in Detroit.

"Our people are hurting," Waters added.

In Obama’s town hall rhetoric, echoes of Bush

Who said this? “Listen. I’m interested in one thing. I’m interested in helping people find work. I want people who want to work to be able to find a job.”

It sure sounds like the rhetoric President Obama has been offering up at the town hall meetings on his three-day Midwestern bus tour.

But the statement above was spoken eight years earlier, by then-president George W. Bush, on a visit to Minnesota shortly after announcing his bid for presidential re-election.

Okay. Who said this? “Yes, we’ve got a deficit. We’ve got a deficit for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that when you’re in a recession, less money is coming into the Treasury.”

Again, it was Bush, in a speech on June 19, 2003 in in Livonia, New Jersey.

And again, it sounds just like the words we hear almost daily from Mr. Obama.

Compare these two statements:

“I believe in the future of the country in all aspects because I know the character of our people.”

“When I travel through the Midwest, I am absolutely confident about this country. And the reason is because of you.”

The first was spoken eight years ago on that New Jersey visit by then-president Bush. The second was spoken on Wednesday by Mr. Obama at a town hall meeting in Atkinson, Ill.

The similarities, if nothing else, illustrate the parallels between two incumbent presidents with re-election on the mind.

He doesn't care if you're hurting. He knows he'll get 96% of the black vote just like he did in 2008.

"On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future".

- Barack Obama

Maybe Maxine “Fo da Peeple” Waters will figure out Obama is not black.

He is the offspring of an out of control white teenager impregnated by a drunk Kenyan.

He is as white as he is black.

Have you noticed Zero lately. If he weights 140 pounds I’d be surprised. I wonder what the deal is?

I'd imagine the Sinaloa have something to do with it. *snort*

[eak3]

Maybe he’s afraid when he goes to get some ice cream, the bus will be on blocks when he comes back.

"See that cow over there? It needs more cowbell."

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Welllllll no sh*t. That's because Obama isn't black. He wasn't raised in a black family and has never lived in black culture.

He just uses black people for votes. Line up in November suckas!

Cachexia.

Maxine, he just doesn't need you yet. He knows you'll support him, just because he's black. Or half-black.

Now, if you start making noises about how you like what Herman Cain has to say, Obama'll be around like a "baby-daddy" on Welfare Day.

Looks a lot like the worst lady.

Yes, they better get this twitter problem under control, or we may see a crispy Detroit and other places too.

It seems like you could track who is twittering directions, and the location of the mobiles in the places having trouble.

Then start calling folks in and get their alibis and statements.

[DoughtyOne]

No problem bud. Talke care...

[glock rocks]

I pinged you because, for the most part, when you post, I think - gosh, wish I’d said that.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Glock Rocks. I appreciate the ping and the nice comments, particularly from you.

[rcrngroup]

You said....

Waitaminnit...”When he tells us it’s time to let go we’ll let go”?? How stupid is that?? Why would HE tell you to let go of HIM?? And WHY is everyone still asking what the plan is?? He’s been IMPLEMENTING the plan, stop giving him a pass!

In my posting #151, I was captioning a photo of 0dumb0 inspecting a cow's ass at a county fair from posting #16

I'm not giving the RAT bastard commie pig 0dumb0 any sort of pass and never will give him a pass on anything. I want the RAT bastard commie pig to fail miserably in everything he touches! I did not make any such statement in my posting #151.

WTH are you talking about?

Sitting in the back of the bus for 2 minutes qualifies for the “total black experience.”

“Now somebody get me a latte, a chunk of baklava and some kugelis. And I'll fire the first person who shows me a bag of greens.

(sarcasm on) And by that, I’m sure that Rep. Waters meant the American people..... all of them. (sarcasm off)
