Maxine Waters: Why isn't Obama in black communities?
By Brian Montopoli
Democrats Rep. Maxine Waters of California, a central member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said Tuesday that "we don't know why" President Obama is not visiting black communities on his Midwestern bus tour, adding, "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired."
Waters, speaking at a freewheeling forum at Detroit's Wayne County Community College, suggested members of the CBC don't pressure Mr. Obama because their constituents are proud to have an African-American president, adding that "if we go after the president too hard, you're going after us."
"The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president, too," she went on to say. "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired. 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."
The unemployment rate for African-Americans as of July was 15.9 percent, and it's significantly higher in Detroit. Waters told her audience Tuesday that when you "unleash us and you tell us you're ready to have this conversation, we're ready to have the conversation."

"Unleash us".
Marxine "No Justice No Peace" Waters, instigator of the Rodney King riots, has just told The Obammunist that when he gives the order, her constituents are ready to take by force what is rightly theirs.
The Black Socialist Caucus is ready to foment riots all over the U.S. on cue (except in the South where they shoot looters on sight).

I’ve always wondered why Obama isn’t another Tiger Woods and out there gitin it wit as many white girls as he can. He could have more white women than Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods combined. Of course he could be doing just that and the MSM would not report it but I think it would be difficult to hide it altogether, even with MSM help. I also wonder why he didn’t marry white and why no former white gf’s have appeared. Can you imagine a black guy in his priviliged position all his life not being with any white women? I find it very hard to believe. It really does make you wonder if he is gay.
The man may have the right pigmentation to suit you, but you've neglected the most important think - his beliefs, and they are guided and controlled by Islam. So unless you're ready to squat your fat ass down five times a day and beg towards Mecca, you're not likely to get anything more than you and your crowd already have.
The Kenyan had no interest in any women until it was politically expedient.
His books are devoid of females except relatives.

Because Michele Obama said he could get shot at a gas station in the hood.
