[Article] Smiley just wanted to bang away at his regular theme that the president should be shoveling more government cash toward blacks, because that's how you "show the love" -- you hand out the checks

We should all chip in and get Tavis a one-way ticket to Nigeria. That's all those cats do over there, is peculate and shovel the cash -- "I am a river to my People!!!" <gunfire, cheeering, ululation> -- and anyone with half a brain doesn't have to work .....

Think about it, Tavis, tropical climate, no work, plenty money ..... gotta be a trip.

They’re all going to vote for him anyway so it doesn’t matter if he only phones it in.

Ding-ding-ding! Tough lesson for Tavis in instrumental politics. When they can take you for granted, they will -- and all you'll ever see of the candidate are his commercials and posters and third-string messenger-boys like, well, Valerie Jarrett. (They're lucky they got her -- Van Jones or Moochelle's mom would have been more like it.)

Obama is not a black journalist. Why would he have any love for black journalists. He only has love for black Presidents of the U.S.
