President Barack Obama used a dinner-time address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to make an impassioned plea for health care reform, placing it in the tradition of the civil rights struggle.

Obama, who last year addressed the group as one of its members, was hailed as "our great president" by caucus chair Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.). The crowd was jubilant as Obama came to the stage with first lady Michelle Obama, who Rep. Kendrick Meek introduced, saying she had "brought a new flavor to this country.

"The poor" is code for "black people."

Racism is ALL he has. He actually thought he could bully his way through all his issues by claiming racism. What a poseur. I’d like to see him man-up and address the issues like a leader. Not going to be.

90% of people are perfectly happy with their health care! If you force them into a government system, aren’t you infringing their civil rights in the worst way? Government run health care will steal from the many for the benefit of the few. Is that “civil rights” for the greatest number of us citizens.

What a ridiculous argument.

Nope. We are obviously going to get four years of race and class warfare.

Race and class relations are going to be set back 50 years when he leaves office.

The Presidency of 0 is becoming a daily nightmare. Each day one wakes up and is challenged to confront this unbelievable reality.

Either you agree with him or you’re a racist. According to the latest polls, that would make 60% of Americans racist...

I can’t stand listening to Obama speak.

I live in the deep South and it totally sends me nuclear when I hear him speak to Black audiences.

He knows how to speak yet when it’s a black audience he pulls out his ‘heh, I’m one of you” accent.

He demeans the Blacks he’s speaking to along with alienating the rest of the audience and country because it’s very clear that he’s pandering to Blacks.

Sadly the Blacks fall for it. I guess they don’t listen when he speaks to Americans in general.

Yep he starts sounding like a black liberal preacher. Can NOT stand to listen. Reminds me of Hillary getting her fake black slang going at the funeral of King’s widow. Just sick.
