New jobs report is bad news for the economy and Obama’s campaign (Harlem voters waking up?)
NY Post ^ | 6/2/12 | S.A. MILLER

Posted on 06/02/2012 8:14:03 AM PDT by jimbo123

A dire US jobs report that showed unemployment up after a measly 69,000 jobs were created in May landed like a nuclear bomb yesterday on President Obama’s re-election campaign.

-snip-

Martha Roldan of Harlem agreed.

“President Obama needs to stand up to the plate. He needs to tell us the truth about what’s happening,” fumed Roldan, 49, a certified home aide who’s been looking unsuccessfully for a second job since her hours were cut a year ago.

“Don’t tell us there are jobs when there are no jobs. Don’t lie to us. We’re not children,” she said. “I’m struggling. I know a lot of other people looking for work, too.”

She’ll certainly never vote “R”, but she may stay home instead.

Martha can find a steady paycheck in her chosen field ^if^ she were willing to move out of her urban plantion housing. Every oil-patch area is looking for employees in all sorts of fields...trickle-down economics, yaknow.

But, I agree. “Martha will pull the big D like she always does”. Just like the Hebrews in the escape from Pharoah, she’ll complain about the now and wish for the comfort of the tyrannical past.

If Martha keeps complaining , her neighbors will straighten her out and explain to her that’s it’s racist to vote for anyone but Obama.

You don’t hear Colon Powell complaining.
You don’t hear the CBC complaining.

“Obama, on the other hand, needs to find a way to change the subject away from the economy, and soon.”

The weather? Baseball standings?

Can you really blame her? The Dems offer free stuff and racial preferences for blacks. Some people say blacks vote for Obama because he's black. They're profoundly mistaken. If Obama were a conservative Republican, blacks would vote against him the way they voted against Allen West, Michael Steele, and so on. It's all about the bennies, not skin color.

Obama is doing exactly what he set out to do. An anti-capitalist, Cloward Piven, Alinsky style destruction of free market capitalism by any means possible.

A short summary which really nailed it comes from Trevor Loudon's book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within," - "A history about those who advise, mentor, and operate behind the throne of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. From early childhood to the present day the President chose to keep his personal life a secret. Those who surround him fall into a wide category of radicals, marxists, communists, and Americans who have joined together in a coordinated effort to overthrow capitalism and the Republic of the United States of America." . . Says it all.

This means 98% of Harlem will vote for Obama instead of 99%

Thank God for that. People are waking up and realizing, "This is it, it's now or never."
