Obama Drops the Bedroom Slipper Bomb.....

OP.....

COMMENTARY | President Barack Obama called up fire and brimstone on blacks unwilling to "take off your bedroom slippers" and "put on your marching shoes."

The "marching shoes" reference intended to capture the civil rights spirit and seemed a matter of political desperation, according to Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy.
But the "bedroom slippers" allusion was baffling. Was the "bedroom slippers" allusion supposed to be a metaphor for laziness or complacency?

Hadn't black communities that supported Obama in 2008 demonstrated considerable patience for a segment of the population experiencing 16.7 percent unemployment?

From my observations, I believe many blacks are instinctually conservative in most areas except politics, where they have been persuaded by the magic fairy dust of politicians that they are Democrats.

I would expect President Obama has had considerably more exposure to the black community than I have had. Yet, it's clear Obama's exhortations had more to do with capturing the black vote than on solving 16.7 percent unemployment among black adults and 25 percent among black youth.

Seems like harsh advice from a president who spends so much time blaming his administration's frustrations and failures on a president who is nearly three years gone.....snip~


Washington Post even called it as a Matter of Political Desperation. Yet to tell them to stop whineing and crying. Maxine Waters already is asking who was he talking to about this. Considering she was the most vocal and more recent supporter of his that began criticzing him. IMO I don't see anything he has done to help blacks and those high unemployment numbers. Does this help him or hurt him with the black vote? Again, how does this knock down those racial barriers? How does this bring people together?

How does this make the Hispanc Caucus feel. How long before there is an Asian Caucus. Arab Caucus. Here yesterday Rachael Maddow had the nerve to talk about Straw Poles and Fundraising being the same. Made a big ordeal about this yet does not report that these caucus events are fundraisers too.

Obama just got giving a Q&A where the plate was worth 35.8k. Thats right a Dinner plate for 36 grand. Ask a few questions and get a few answers. Does it sound like these rich and mega-wealthy are Republicans? Are all these those rich people like Buffet that says hey tax me more?

36k per seat??!

This shit has gotten beyond ridiculous. How does that factor in with the limits on personal contributions anyway? Is this a way to get around that? What horsecrap.

The bedroom slipper reference, whatever that was, is just more evidence that Barry's out of touch. I think the Black vote is irrelevant this time around, there's not going to be one. I don't blame them really...neither candidate will be appealing.

So Obama was in San Diego yesterday, one of three or four stops. It's 35.8k per person per stop so he is racking up huge bucks.

The fundraiser called for a $5,000 per person donation; $10,000 per person for the photo line and the maximum $35,800 per couple to be VIP trustees. The money will go to the Obama re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Cost of the entire western trip was shared by the Obama campaign and the White House — standard policy for presidents when travel includes both campaign and presidential events.

[Conley]

Most of us are hurting, some can spend 36k for the chance to speak to the President for a few seconds...shows you where this country is and where it's heading >:(

[Mister D]

I realize things are bad but honestly I've never been so content in my personal life.

[Conley]

Also our tax dollars are paying for half this trip, and all the other campaigning he will do in the next year.

Well, me too, but that's probably because we are in that sweet spot between getting out of college and making a life for ourselves but before our bodies have begun to wear out and fail. ;D

The country is falling apart but I don't expect I'll be around to see the final collapse, and I'm not having kids. So I'm concerned but I know there's not much I can do.

I've got many years to go. I take good care of myself. ;D It has more to do with my religiosity than anything else, IMO.

As for kids, I didn't make any conscious decision about that but it doesn't look like that will happen at this point. Then again, you never know.
