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.

Talk Back Over (TBO)

I had the the Military Channel on in the background last week. They have a series on Hitler's Bodyguard. I about fell out of my chair when they described Adolph Hitler's pre-Beer Hall Putsch days were spent working as a 'community organizer' for the socialist party.

It sounded just like pure Sual Alinsky. I kid you not, Zero is just another version of Adolph. Who's just another Hamman etc, This spirit of evil and hatred of the Jews moves through human linear time like a 'generational plague' carried by human vermin.

. Did you know that Zero's use of the recent Jew tax comment was not a teleprompter mistake. In fact it's been a regular feature, which he's employed several times when he's giving racially charged speeches to the Black Community. He likes to use it in churches best.

We all know that the socialist Left has special code words like 'working families' when they really are talking about overpaid union thugs. Does it surprise anyone that the racist black community and it's counterculture has one too? Here's proof, pay close attention to the crowds reaction to Obama's so called teleprompter mistake, after he amended Jew to janitor they all laughed! Not just giggles, but they roared laughing, because they were sharing the code (it's our special secret, you tell those Jews Barack. We want our share of the money spread it around or else.)

I have heard Obama mis-speak like this several times before. The Rev. Al, Jesse and other community organizers use this insider political doublespeak ploy shamelessly to bind themselves to their constituents. In Alinsky's book, he calls this creating a phony 'inner circle'. Everybody who laughs is part of the greater social justice movement. It makes everyone feel extra special, because they have a secret with the POTUS.

There's a term for it on the streets, It's called a Talk It Back Over (TBO), or take backs when I was younger.

The NBPP leader Shabazz used TBOs several times when he was approached by the media about intimidating voters outside the poling place in Philly.

I noticed similar. I was in grad school and noticed 'group behavior' in the cafeteria. I also worked in aerospace and noticed similar 'group behavior' from professional employees.

Superb writing and clear thinking, in your post varon. Your thoughts are the reason I’ve sent this thread to all my friends, and one of the reasons why I am addicted to FR. Truth, when it is spoken, is universal in it’s language.

Shoring up the base. The Dems figure they can’t get 51% of the vote, so they’re going to play in the Republican field. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Anyone can talk a good fight.

Maybe there has been a “community” decision to show solidarity with Michelle and her Impressively Toned Arms.

We have witnessed Obama's "jump the shark" moment. His obvious paternalistic tone and fake accent:

"..I listen to some of y'all,"

should be viewed as a desperate, condesending plea for the Black vote.

And that "preacher voice" is hard to take in any case.

What did the pea brain do in his first year in office to fight black unemployment Obamacare?.
I don’t see how any black can support him after all the harm he has caused.

obama is starting to sound a lot like van jones.

Van Jones preaches violent revolution to take back what is “rightfully” theirs. Now baraq is trying to fire up his base and the followers of jones and rev. wright.

Probably going to be a lot of historic firsts with baraq.

I never realized that Obama thinks all the blacks are “in their bedroom slippers”. Seems like he thinks they are all lazy do nothings and need to be told to put their shoes on and help him.

The parallels between Hitler/Nazi party and the Obama organization are amazing. I guess that was one of the reasons liberals stopped teaching true History in schools.
Anyway, thankfully, there are those of us that are not as stupid, lock-stepped and unaware as they thought. We must fight for our freedom like never before and NEVER give up - because they won’t. This movement has been going on for some time in the America and won’t be stopped over night. I belive (my own opinion) is that they jumped the shark with Obama - thinking that he was the magic bullet to fire into the belly of America. Not so fast, says we, we will not go down - and won’t be defeated. The liberal leftists weren’t the ones who won our past wars, served our nation and raised the greatest generation. We will prevail. (IMHO)

Rather than “putting on marching shoes” they should pull up their pants and apply for a few jobs...

It’s taken about 40 some-odd years to dumb some of these people down but the Demonrats have done a D#MN good job of it. Keep ‘em dumb, teach them the letter “D”, send checks and teach them to hate whitey and they’ll come through for you every time. This is so sad and I pray it will unravel against the Demons in our lifetime. :(

Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes.
