"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.

He’s got a bigger smile while looking at that cows butt, than he did looking at that knuckle dragging Thing he lives with. Well, I don’t blame him.

I wonder if he’s trying to figure out where milk comes from, or if he just wants to be alone with her.

"He's MOOnlighting with brown cows."

Actually, they're MOOlattos.

Now why would barry ever do that....he is not from black neighborhoods...he doesn't like black neighborhoods....he was raised by whites and that is what he is accustomed to...white neighborhoods....actually, he isn't even black...1/2 white and the rest Arab...

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

[Lorianne]

Wow, that was a doozy of a speech.
Obama had better watch his back if Waters if after him.

“Our people are hurting.”

“Our people?!”

A curious choice of wording.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Obama will visit the black communities of Martha’s Vineyard.

At least that photo does not appear to have been manipulated to achieve a certain racial/ethnic balance as most of his photo-ops and outings are.

[crosshairs]

Singin da blues.

He wanted the face time. Bites for the 6 o’clock news. Crowds that might not be so friendly are not on the schedule.

I can only assume when she says “Our people” she means all US citizens. What else could she possibly be referring to?

[Lando Lincoln]

It’s politics. He has 85% approval among blacks so why campaign among them? Much like GWB hardly campaigned in Texas. Why? He had the votes.

[hummingbird]

Wha?

Are all of those kids...(gulp)....white?

That has to burn the CBC.

[Darteaus94025]

Maybe he doesn’t want to get jacked.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Is it just me or does that idiot look confused in the first picture?

Bambi, not the cow.

Maxine Waters: "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired, ya'll. We're getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community. We don't know that."

Looks like we could fill planet-sized libraries with all the stuff Maxine Waters doesn't know.

And when a person don't know much, as Maxine obviously doesn't, then it comes as no surprise that she looks to a sniveling moron (the clown now riding around the countryside in a bus called "Casket One") for answers, as her remarks clearly indicate.

Gangs of Black yutes would be attacking the whitey secret service guys when they ventured out for dinner in da hood.

1st picture...two of three are asses.

Go to Detroit 0bama. Just think of the optics; the city destroyed by Democrats and unions.

"The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president too," Waters said. "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired, ya'll. We're getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community. We don't know that."

Right. Because we don't have that other branch of government that she was elected to. Heaven forbid the CBC get off its collective behinds and lead themselves. All they want to do is put pressure on Zero. Read that "we'd like to stand in front of the media and whine, while prominently playing the race card, because we have no other solutions, and we don't want to be held accountable for our own ineptitude and the failures of our communities."
