African-American voters see court fight as affront to Obama
Associated Press ^ | Feb 28, 2016 12:03 PM EST | Errin Haines Whack

Watching the fight unfold between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans over who should choose the next Supreme Court justice, Michael A. Bowden got angry at what he saw at the latest affront to the first black president.

And then his thoughts turned from Washington to his own state.

Obama won't be on the ballot this fall, but Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey will - and Bowden has made defeating him in November a priority. [...]

Democrats are pressuring senators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin to back down from their refusal to confirm or even consider Obama's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia or face the consequences in November. In some states, they may get help from African-Americans who see the court battle as the latest GOP snub of Obama - one rooted in racism, which could galvanize a crucial component of the Democratic voting bloc. ...

Oops, forgot the "c" .

President Barack Obama. When you rearrange the letters they spell:

An Arab Backed Imposter.

Leftist Media screams “racist” at anyone who opposes Obama. They care the chicken little of the political world.

They know it’s no affront to a black (50%) president. It’s just another illustration of winning “BAMN.”

We’ve already got enough commie lib activist freaks on the “Supreme Court”. We don’t need another one. Another one would only do more damage to the court’s already horribly damaged credibility.

Blacks all descend from slaves,you see./s

I know you're being sarcastic, but your response reminds me of that saying: "The slave dreams not of freedom, but of being the master."

So African Americans are feeling bad because their negro community organizer from Chicago is being thwarted.

When are people going to say "So What" to their being affronted, offended, angered and generally in a bad mood?

Yep, the AP playing the race card. How about Blacks will not vote for Bernie because he is a Jew.

Blacks are just political livestock on the big government plantation. The dems stampede them every election cycle. Tragic to witness.

It occurs to me that you can be taken aback by an affront.
No wonder the gimmedats feel surrounded.

I submit the Strong Delusion of the Last Days has already begun to some degree.

Yes, I think to a strong degree, even here.

You could just as easily say he’s another White president instead of the first Black president.

I wouldn’t curse either race with this twit.

YAWN.

At first I was tired of the racist nonsense. I am now irritated by the constant complaints. These people are their own worst enemies.
