Obama tells blacks to 'stop complainin' and fight

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a fiery summons to an important voting bloc, President Barack Obama told blacks on Saturday to quit crying and complaining and "put on your marching shoes" to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.

And though he didn't say it directly, for a second term, too.

Obama's speech to the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus was his answer to increasingly vocal griping from black leaders that he's been giving away too much in talks with Republicans -- and not doing enough to fight black unemployment, which is nearly double the national average at 16.7 percent.

"It gets folks discouraged. I know. I listen to some of y'all," Obama told an audience of some 3,000 in a darkened Washington convention center.

But he said blacks need to have faith in the future -- and understand that the fight won't be won if they don't rally to his side.

"I need your help," Obama said.

It sounded like he was attempting to start a riot.

Complete with fake, inner city accent.

“...and they LAUGHED!”

Maybe he was explaining his economic policy.

It will be interesting to see how Waters and the other members of the Black Caucus react to that indictment.

I work with some highly educated “black folk” who don’t speak with the “thug dialect”. They have a great work ethic and know what it means to earn their money. I can tell you they don’t appreciate this President talking in his condescending and patronizing campaign speeches. I think there are more of these kind of blacks out there across the country who know the truth about this fraud, although they don’t speak up in public for fear of retribution.

Seems obammy may be pushing for racial violence,

Isn’t he doing only what he knows as a “community organizer”. That’s his resume.

He is revealing how 'community organizers' work act.

Don't try to solve a problem, just protest it until it goes away.

I think it was the most insulting speech he has ever made...”Take off you bedroom slippers”???????? WTF???? Talk about stereotyping...If I were in that audience and he referred to me that way I would be MORE than incensed. Is he implying that these people are sitting in front of their TV’s all day in bathrobes, watching daytime soaps and eating bonbons?

Remember when Ross Perot was villified for saying "You folks" when he spoke at the NAACP convention?

Underlying all Obama’s rhetoric is the message that “I can’t win on substance, so I need you to intimidate, and shout down our political opponents.”

Obama is a commie first, he cares little for black folks PEOPLE.

In this respect, he is like all communists/liberals. They CLAIM to care, but the reality is that they care only for their twisted view of the world and so-called "fairness". They do not care about people or the rights of the individual in the least.

In late 2008, I remember hearing an audio recording which ‘made the rounds’ on the Internet. I think it was even posted on a thread here at FR.

It was a recording of a lady shouting: “We all gonna be rich - we got Obama now!!”, at the voice-mail of a collection agency which had left her a message about repossessing her car. It was stupid, ridiculous and even a bit humorous — but it was also quite sad.

I wonder what ever became of her...

She has been "marchin'" for a while now.

In a fiery summons to an important voting bloc, President Barack Obama told blacks on Saturday to quit crying and complaining and "put on your marching shoes" to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.

So, the president is calling for his people to march, which to many means "take to the streets" as is and has been done by people living under oppressive governments or regimes to protest and call for changes.

Since Obama is the head of state, I highly doubt he's calling on his people to take to the streets against him as he claims to be a victim as well. So, who is he calling his people to march and rise against? Well, anyone having paid attention to his public utterances should easily identify the targets and they are, billionaires, millionaires, jet owners, well to do upper middle class achievers, business owners and anyone else of accomplishment. In his speech I heard a muted call for a movement akin to China's Cultural Revolution.

This egomaniac is sensing his impending removal from office and as a result is becoming very dangerous to the point of instigating massive acts of civil disobedience and physical harm to everyone he has demonized in his speeches.

Surely there must be patriots of sufficient influence within the Democrat Party who can put a stop to his madness. Reign him in, muzzle him, remove him................do something before our country's streets are covered in blood and our cities burn.
