What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]
Yesterday Obama got heckled at a town-hall meeting by some black folks who accused him of not being black enough, or at least not nearly as black as they constantly make a point of being.

The hecklers were members of a not-racist-at-all group called The International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement,

which calls Obama "White Power in Black Face." I caught some of the exchange on a TV set while sitting in a dentist's chair (where ISN'T there a TV set these days?) and watched a dusky Florida gent name--no $hit-- Diop Olugbulu accuse Obama of being silent while the federal government "attacked" blacks in situations such as the Jena 6 (where six black males, one of whom had been already been repeatedly arrested for assault, beat the daylights out of a white male) and the Hurricane Katrina aftermath (where the highly educated denizens of New Orleans looted, raped, and robbed, as opposed to the Iowans who tended to behave themselves during June's floods).
I'd once read that Obama isn't such a spellbinding orator when he doesn't have a TelePrompTer in front of him, and that was the case here. He frequently stammered while explaining he indeed had spoken out and legislated against some of these alleged injustices, but overall, he was reasonably fair to these pricks.
It goes to show that some people are never, ever, EVER satisfied and that Obama, like Malcolm X, may have more legitimate reasons to fear being assassinated by a black person than a white one.
I've asked it before and I'll ask it again: Hey, The Perpetually Disgruntled Segment of Black America-if you have it so bad here, why aren't ANY of you headed back to Mother Africa? Can't we arrange some of the tax dollars we waste on welfare and various token gestures of culture appeasement to rig up a few Racial Love Boats headed for Liberia?
Seriously. Either shut up or go home. Life is hard and unfair, but not as much here as it is almost everywhere else. Americans need to toughen up and quit stomping so hard on the wah-wah pedal.
I notice that when Obama is asked a direct, relevant question on the fly, away from his magic podium, he often nervously flutters and stammers in a manner that is not unlike the current idiot-in-chief ... especially if the subject pertains to a policy or issue that he knows will affect his image ... he actually begins to stressfully spout "... ummmm ... ummmm " throughout his halting reply . When the tough queries come, it's as though his mind turns and flees in terror and leaves his hollow body there to deal with constructing an answer. I'm really shocked that the Obamatons haven't taken note of this phenomenon as it's a prime indication of a big time bull$hit artist. Anytime these evangelist styled messiahs are smooth and confident with the familiar, prepared material but choke up on the candid stuff ... look out.
