obama to black community; take off your scarves, wave caps and help me

But only because his Koolaid has turned out to be insufficiently Communist-flavored for her. It’s not like she’s actually learned anything.

That's true. Here's the give away.

Honestly, I’ve never been more afraid for my country or my people than I am right now.

We knew when he was elected that he was a divider and not a uniter. If a white writer referred to whites as MY people, you can bet there would be all sorts of accusations.

Abraham Lincoln didn’t give anybody anything.

Almost 300,000 dead Yankee soldiers did.

[Da Bilge Troll]

But President Obama isn’t speaking to us, but about us – to conservative leaning independents. He’s speaking to the stereotype that they hold, that African-Americans are lazy critters who aren’t capable of self-actualization.

Amazing. Obama makes a racist speech and who's fault is it? Why, "conservative leaning independents" of course! Conservatives are the ones with the stereotype! That's why Obama said those racist things!

Such rhetorical gymnastics are truly astounding!

[Netizen]

If they have two blacks to choose from, maybe some will wise up and make the right choice.

[atc23]

It is ironic that Obama identifies even less with Holders people than whitey. His speech to the CBC sounds like it was written by one of the myriad menopausal white lesbians that make up his “kitchen cabinet”

Proof that Obama doesn’t even read this crap before he says it.

Just load up totus, wind up this skinny little fart and push him out in front of the cameras.

Must be nice

[Iron Munro]

It’s nice to hear this from a black woman who is NOT drinking the Obama Koolaid.

It's clear from her complaints thet she is PO'd at Obama because he isn't far enough to the radical left, not racist enough, not black enough and hasn't done enough for blacks. Did I mention she seems concerned that he doesn't toe the racial line enough to suit her?

The only thing we have in common is that we both breath what is left of the free American air and that we are both PO'd at Obama for something.

[rdb3]

Basically, the most risk averse President in modern history is telling us to put our ass on the line for him. He’s telling us to put on our marching shoes even though he never marched for anything during his days as a “community organizer”. The only thing Obama knows about marching is what he read under a palm tree in Hawaii, and he’s lecturing us?

The man who capitulates at every turn and invalidates progressives as the “professional left” has the nerve to demand our loyalty? The man who answers the whining of the Tea Party with strong and deliberate action has the nerve to admonish us for our criticisms?

From where I stand, Obama doesn’t even like us, much less have our best interest at heart. This is what a compromised and conflicted black man looks like. Let us learn from this, so as to avoid making the same mistake again. In so far as hope goes, that’s all we have to cling to.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Uh oh! A Reb!

[sanjuanbob]

Herman Cain should speak to the CBC. Contrast and compare.

Sorry, I misread your post.

My great grandfathers fought with the Yanks in that war. In fact my g g g great grandfathers fought in the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. But the presidents who declare those wars and win them are due some credit. . That is meant to take nothing from those who did not survive those wars. They are our heroes.

[atc23]

It’s just that these politicians get far too much credit for issuing a piece of paper declaring this or declaring that when it’s the poor people that have to go out and die to implement their high and mighty ideas.

Slavery would have collapsed under it’s own weight before the 19th century came to a close. Lincoln and everyone else knew this.

What Lincoln was trying to avoid was the humiliation of people standing up to his authority. He arrived in Washington in a disguise, dressed as a woman. He never forgot that. He vowed never to suffer that kind of disrespect again.

Lincoln gave us this gluttonous federal beast which now devours even our progeny.

[tumblindice]

Shake it off.
Stop complainin’.
Stop grumblin’.
Stop cryin’.

I eat peas and honey.
I eat them on my knife.
I don’t like peas and honey.
But I’ve et them all my life

Really?

The Clothes in which Davis Disguised Himself

---

When Union soldiers captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis -- purportedly wearing his wife's dress and shawl -- on May 10, 1865, Barnum was not the only northerner to make a spectacle of the bizarre event. Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton clothed a mannequin in a dress, hoopskirt, and shawl; had photographs taken of it; and distributed the photographs to the press. Newspapers ran sketches of the photo, like the one above (the technology to reproduce photos in newspapers did not yet exist). Later, Stanton claimed to have acquired the actual dress from Davis' wife and held a massive press conference to display it.

As one whose great great great grandfather abandoned his heritage because he did not believe in slavery; (he moved away from the plantation to become part of the underground railway), I believe Abraham Lincoln did the right thing with his proclamation of emancipation. The war was also because the South wanted to secede from the Union, I believe.

I think she’s angry at him because he hasn’t been paying her rent or putting gas in her car

Again, the farm saying translates to real life:

“Why buy the cow...when you can get the milk for free?”

[Col Freeper]

Yvette, you can't talk like that to Obama — you are clearly a racist!

"Since Lincoln was so tall, 6 foot 4, it was advised that he would need a disguise, as his height would make him stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. Pinkerton requested that, when getting off the cab and boarding the special train, Abe not wear his trademark stovepipe hat, slump over so as to not appear as tall, walk with a cane, AND disguise himself as a fail woman, complete with a scotch-plaid shawl. Lincoln agreed and left his family behind and boarded the 10:10 PM special at Harrisburg that night. (Train personnel were told the special train was to carry a frail, society woman, her attendants, and a highly important package to Washington and was to await the arrival of both before departing -- The package, unknown to them, contained a handful of newspapers.) Lincoln arrived safely in Washington City even before his family left Harrisburg for Baltimore at 9 AM February 22. When his wife, sons and entourage arrived in Baltimore, they were greeted by an angry mob of Southern sympathizers. They escaped shaken but otherwise unharmed. The assassination plot was foiled. This episode spawned several ironies. The Pinkerton Archives
