What a find 2nd Div! A shocker to see that article from that newspaper.

Other freepers may not realize but the Amsterdam News is NYC’s black newspaper. I think that generally it is very far left.

I’m just gobsmacked that they would even publish this. Not that is it not a good article, it’s very good and true.

LOL, I can’t believe the writer talks about Obama’s “worshipers”. Amazing!

This whole “gay marriage”/Chick-fil-A/you didn’t build that fiasco may have turned just enough blacks, Hispanics and low-information voters against Mr. Obama to decide the race. Team Obama is so insulated in the faculty lounge and Chicago machine that they seemingly forgot that more blacks attend church than any other demographic and that Prop 8 was defeated by the people who showed up to pull the lever for BHO, not Mormons or white evangelicals.

Not a gaffe! It’s a way of life (for him). It is because of how he was raised and who he is... He is an accident of history!

the latest tracking poll from Rasmussen says Romney up by 2 points not 6 as the author states and that’s before all the media propoganda of Obama getting credit for Friday’s job creation numbers kicks in.

I made a patriotic video in response to Obama’s misguided arrogant blunder.

LOL, that’s awful. A great use of a great shot of those two.

Sigh, I have some sympathy for Barack, that Michelle seems like a tough dame to deal with. He does seem like he’s a good dad. I’m pretty sure his daughters must worship the ground he walks on. Which is OK for them.

I hope they grow up to be not communists. Not sure how that could happen with their background, but I hope they escape the mental prison of the Left.

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink

I don’t see what was so strange about that statement? He’s just paraphrasing a passage the Manifesto. Hee hee.

Obama back: Ewww. I had to pull down my underwear and do unspeakable things to have them. All you did was lie there.

It was not a gaffe, it was a statement of leftist philosophy. Elizabeth Warren recently said basically the same thing. This is what they believe, this dodge is at the heart of their twisted morality.

If "you didn't build that" then you don't deserve the profits, and leftists feel better about themselves when they confiscate and redistribute those profits. It's just a lie to make theft seem moral.

“The conditions of bourgeois society are too narrow to comprise the wealth created by them.
And how does the bourgeoisie get over these crises? On the one hand, by enforced
destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the other, by the conquest of new markets, and
by the more thorough exploitation of the old ones. That is to say, by paving the way for
more extensive and more destructive crises, and by diminishing the means whereby crises
are prevented.
The weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned
against the bourgeoisie itself.
But not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it has also
called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons — the modern working class —
the proletarians.
In proportion as the bourgeoisie, i.e., capital, is developed, in the same proportion is the
proletariat, the modern working class, developed — a class of laborers, who live only so long
as they find work, and who find work only so long as their labor increases capital. “

It was not a gaffe, it was a statement of leftist philosophy.

That's exactly right. Here in Colorado, television is unwatchable with the political ads (as if the regular programming doesn't make it that way). But Saturday, Governor Hickenlooper had an ad about a state website that supposedly "helps" small business. They are scrambling to muddy a clear statement of belief.

He said that people who need help in building their small business can log in and get help (if you are a "vibrant minority," of course).

What angers me is not so much that they "feel" the way they do, although that is horrible, but that they have the temerity to lie and say they don't "feel" that way. ("Feeling" substitutes for "thinking" with liberals.)

I cant wait for the debate when Obama says, I did not say that you Didnt Build that Business,I was Talking about roads and bridges! Then Romney turns to him and says,There you go again, thinking you are smarter than everyone else,there are a Lot of smart People out there in America and they are Smart enough to Know what you Really said,and you may Believe it,but its not the American way. American PEOPLE CREATE JOBS NOT GOVERNMENT!

It’s not a gaffe, nor is it a blunder. It’s how Obama and his ilk really think.

This is why Obama must always be tethered to a teleprompter.
