-----------------------------------
President Barack Obama told graduates from the traditionally African-American Morehouse College yesterday that 'as a black man' he feels a 'special obligation' to help those less fortunate them him.

In a personal commencement address to the college in Atlanta, Georgia, the president spoke about racism and how, given different opportunities, he could have ended up in prison or unemployed.

The rest of the quote was “have to work twice as hard to get by.”

This is simply not true. To “get by”, you just have to fill out the right “gimmedats” paperwork.

Tony Gwynn’s mother told him the same thing. But in a very different context, I’m sure.

So let us see his college work then. Liberalism has become farce, the left should get down on its knees and thank Gaia that the beltway clown right is the “official opposition.”

Well, there is still “hope”. Hoping he does end up in prison. Doubtful, but there is hope.

How would he know? Everything was given to him, there has been no working or earning involved. Obama is the ultimate moocher because he is a socialist/marxist/commie/putz, not due to his “color.”

Apparently Obama is saying he is not an “African-American.”

He’s managed to get pretty far without ever working a day in his life.

Twice as hard

Yes, that's what affirmative action does. Oh wait affirmative action means you don't have to work at all.

That's how it used to be. Now they don't have to work at all.
Oh to succeed in school and the workplace? No that's called "acting white".
