Chicago Black Grassroots React to SOTU
Posted: Jan 31, 2014
Last night in Chicago, black grassroots activists reacted to President Obamaâs State of the Union address at Wallaceâs Catfish Cornerâand it wasnât pretty. See link.;
I've often wondered what his hometown felt. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]I guess I know now. This is very sad. I hope the President listens to these people AND reads their comments.
I sincerely hope he doesn't. - me
[ In Reply To ..]He's got a frigging country to run, you know?
He's not Justin Bieber and has to worry about his "fans."
I'm sure Chicagoans are not the only ones who feel like this. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]Remember, these are some of the people who helped get him elected. How fair is that?
These are supposedly black republican Chicagoians...sm - researcher
[ In Reply To ..]who are ex-offenders and pro anti-eviction who are upset that they cannot get a job. Something about this story just does not ring true.
And because they're black republican Chicagoans - they don't count?
[ In Reply To ..]I thought the libs were all for the underdog. Is it just a chosen few now? I'm confused.
They're not the "right" kind of black - If they show any common sense, any fiscal
[ In Reply To ..]responsibility, any personal accountability, any ability to reason...they are dismissed. Democrat party has historically attacked
any black not towing the party line.
Why would Watkins be expected to tow the party line when he is a - Republican???
[ In Reply To ..]What does color have to do with it? He is a Republican.
That's like saying that 999 guy didn't tow the party line...
COUNTRY TO "RUN" OR "RUIN?" - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]Oh, yes! Obama is a president on steroids, for sure, especially in his last term. He does not even wait for the ink to dry on a piece of legislation before he runs after the next one, leaving a huge mess behind and also leaving most to wonder "what the heck just happended here?" Actually, one might surmise that he suffers from untreated/undiagnosed ADHD?
Are you saying these people don't count? - If so,
[ In Reply To ..]that's pretty cold and heartless!
Then Obama needs to put down the golf clubs - and put on his big boy pants
[ In Reply To ..]*** Screw the people and let Obama do whatever he wnats no matter how much Americans are against his crazy, coke-fueled, screwed up policies.
Obamacare approval now at 33%...but make those of us that have a brain suffer and can see the damage Obama is causing. (My premiums went from $ 168.00 to $645.00 with MASSIVE INCREASES IN DEDUCITBLES AND OUT OF POCKET - yeah, real "affordable").
Obama job approval between 39% to 42% depending on the poll. - But too *** to see your *** ideas are damaging this country.
THE PROBLEM IS OBAMA NOT RUNNING THE COUNTY BECAUSE HE IS NOT CAPABLE. Just keeps pushing through what OBAMA wants, screw the Americans. Yeah, WE ALL GET IT...OBAMA HATES AMERICA, AS DOES HIS DEVOUT FOLLOWERS. COMRADE OBAMA THINKS HE IS KING/DICTATOR and can do what he wants. I am a registered Democrat and sick of this ***.
That took great courage to speak against your party. - Debi
[ In Reply To ..]I did it as well a few weeks back. And from what I've read and seen on TV, it appears a great majority of Obama's base (the millennials) has shunned him also. From now on, I will vote according to the person or issue, not the party, and I think, for me, it will be a cold day in Hell before I will vote a democrat back in after this charade.
You will vote according to the person or issue, but it won't be a Democrat - right?
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sorry, but your post is contradictory. Can you clarify?
That's what you choose to pick apart? - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]Not the original post and the problems that some Americans are having due to President Obama? I have no words for you.
Pick apart? I asked a simple question. I wasn't rude. I responded to - this post
[ In Reply To ..]the poster clarified. I have no problems with threads drifting and changing. But I do have a problem with posters on this board telling me what to do and what topic I should be responding to.
For clarification, I didn't tell you what to do. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]I guess maybe I shouldn't be surprised by the lack of responses to this original post because it does not put the President in a positive light and is actually indefensible.
Indefeisnible? Against what. Joe Watkins is a Republican who has never spoken well - of Obama
[ In Reply To ..]Just because he's black, it should make a difference?
I'm not referring to Joe Watkins, but to the people, the masses, - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]the constituents, the ones who helped him get elected. They feel let down, neglected, like they don't matter. I'm sure it's not isolated to Chicago.
The article to which you suggested I respond to cited Joe Watkins. - I doubt he
[ In Reply To ..]represents any of the constituent who helped Obama get elected.
You have missed the point. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]Or maybe you just want to appear as if you have. Whatever, enjoy your evening.
NPC - THEY NEVER get the point - If you are not going to bow down to Obama
[ In Reply To ..]The *** will try to deflect, change, distort whatever you post. Too bad for them, there are enough intelligent people on this board that realize the depth and scope of the damage *** Obama has put this country through, and are secure enough to call it what it is and CALL THEM out for the destructive socialist/communist agende ***
The point is this group, led by Watkins, is not by any means - grassroots
[ In Reply To ..]The article can call it anything it wants, but it is incongruous to use his name and Obama grassroots together to characterize any gathering orchestrated by him. Again, Watkins is a Republican analyst and pro spinner (I say that respectfully--he is good at what he does), so how can anything that has his name on it be Democratic grassroots of any kind?
That's like saying Chris Matthews gathered a bunch of grassroots Rand Paul supporters to watch his after-SOTU speech and they all said a bunch of bad things about it. Would that be credible? Could that meeting be characterized as a sincere reflection of Rand Paul grassroots supporters and what they thought of his speech if Matthews was the leader?
It was blatantly contradictory. :) - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The hallmark of insincerity, to me.
And immediately fixed. Why do you have to be so mean? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]She admitted she got ahead of herself and clarified the statement. Geez, open your eyes please.
You're right. I got ahead of myself. - Debi
[ In Reply To ..]For local elections, it will be the person and/or issue. For a national election, i.e., president, senator or congress, it will more than likely not be democrat.
Sorry, I answered in the wrong spot, but - Debi
[ In Reply To ..]I see the dislike, so I know you read it. Have a nice weekend!
No problem. I understood, as per my response to another poster. Appreciate your - clarification! :) nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
I tthink it takes less courage and more common sense - A lot of us are fed up with Obamas endless lies
[ In Reply To ..]I have always voted according to the person, never a party. But Obama is a very, very lacking representative of any party other than the communist party. The problem with the *** on this board is they have no ability to discern fact from fiction and seem totally unable to reason through any situation objectively. Obamacare now has my premiums at MORE THAN MY FREAKING MORTGAGE PAYMENT, coverage totally useless to me and my family, my deductible went from $2500 to $7500, NONE of my doctors are included in the exchange...this is better??? How??
I know it will be a cold day in hell before I ever vote for any Democrat for any office. Sick of their endless ***.
His hometown?? I thought Honolulu was his "hometown". (sm) - Abby
[ In Reply To ..]Oh, wait, that's only when it's vacation time. Then it becomes his hometown and he RENTS a luxurious estate at our expense.
OBAMA'S SEALED TRANSCRIPTS - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]Interesting take on Obama's secrets and why he paid millions to seal his records.
Why Barack Obama listed his birthplace as Kenya: Doug Ross@Journal, May 19, 2012. The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as "Kenya." Over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent's website.
Was Barack actually born in Kenya? I seriously doubt it, even though Michelle Obama has publicly stated that Kenya is her husband's "home country." Contemporary newspaper listings in Honolulu, for example, list the time and place of his birth. While this isn't ironclad proof, to be sure, it's good enough for me.
No, my suspicion is that Mr. Obama manipulated his birthplace intentionally (and cynically) to take advantage of certain benefits unavailable to those born in the United States.
Bookworm Room describes why that might have been. We need to set the Wayback Machine to 1978, when young Obama was seeking admission to college.
1978 isn’t just any year. It’s a very special year. It was the year that the Supreme Court decided Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) 438 U.S. 265... [and] held that [the] race-based admission process was unconstitutional.
With that decision, Obama, who was a self-confessed slacker in high school, suddenly lost his e-ticket to a good college. He couldn’t know then (nor would it have mattered) that the various concurrences in this deeply divided opinion would eventually open the door to colleges and universities making race a “factor” in admission, so much so that this “factor-ness” eventually created a whole new quota system.
My best guess is that, denied an opportunity to use quota systems to parlay a lousy academic record into a quality college admission, Obama searched around for other means of bypassing his academic failings. It was this search that led him to announce that he was Kenyan. I’m sure that a certain amount of digging will reveal that, just when the Bakke decision came down, American universities were engaged in some sort of pro-active policy involving increasing the number of African nationals on America’s college campuses. Obama was happy to oblige the universities in this effort by co-opting his father’s nationality, and burying the fact that he was a garden-variety American black kid.
There’s the nexus — In 1978, Obama, who already then was willing to lie to achieve his goals, created a false identity to deal with the changes the Bakke decision wrought on college admissions.
This appears to be an extremely plausible explanation for Obama's refusal to release any of his college transcripts.
I believe you are correct. - LM

NATIONAL BLACK REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]TDC, August 13, 2013: A national organization of black Republicans is calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama. The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) originally filed articles of impeachment against the president earlier this week, citing Obama’s “attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.” The group invoked the Declaration of Independence against the president, accusing him of a “long train of abuses and usurpations.”
Obama has disappointed many people of different races/ethnicities, but you will not hear any of this on the left-wing biased news outlets.
Boy, that's a fact!! I heard this months ago, but most - people don't even know it.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Thanks for your posts - brings credibility to - the board, instead of
[ In Reply To ..]The never-ending, blind worship by *** elitist leader Obama. There are a LOT OF PEOPLE fed up with Obama and his complete incompetency...and yes, it does include Democrats, too.
Thanks for posting this. Love all your posts - Mrs. Tingles - sm
[ In Reply To ..]This is a great post and why. First, I had never heard of this. Funny the "so called" media doesn't report on this (but then again the so called media doesn't really report news anymore, just propaganda they want people to believe.
Second you gave me a great resource to go to. I went to their website and a lot of excellent articles there that I will be reading.
Thanks again, all your posts are very excellent reads.

Last Night's SOTUJan 29, 2014
Well, I thought the President basically lacked passion last night. Nothing he said was with conviction like we've seen in the past. I did not find him believable. The only positive thing I really heard was that he seemed to acknowledge that the economy had not improved during his 5 years in office and he wanted the CEOs of the country to pay their people more money (obviously, I'm paraphrasing here). Hopefully, the CEOs of the MTSOs will take heed and listen to the Commander in Ch ...
