Gettin Down Wit Tha Dear Leader An Tha Congressional Black Caucus

I can not believe this but I actually agree with Congressman Mad Max Waters (D-Calif.) and her reaction to the Dear Leader, President Obama's "speech" to the Congressional Black Caucus over this past weekend.
There is so much to unpack from this horrible performance from the Dear Leader, President Obama, and his strongest base of support. Where to begin?
How about the fact that the president felt a need to speak down to his audience?
Why did the Dear Leader, President Obama, trail off g's when talking to the Congressional Black Caucus? Why did he need to "speak Black" to this group of highly educated members of congress? Here the lowlight that I believe would sure as hell offend me if I were listenin to this crap:

"Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do."

OK, so what Dear Leader, President Obama. Are you implying that Black Americans are lazy? That they are kickin back in their bedroom slippers? Well, to those lucky enough to be working, I do not think they have time to be in any kind of slippers. Nor do they have time to march for much of anything. Because if they are not working, they are bearing the brunt of the bad economy.
Lets look at the unemployment numbers in the Black community.
While overall national unemployment is at 9.1%, Black Americans have an unemployment rate of 16.7%. And when you break it down to men vs. women, men have it worse at a staggering 19.1% compared to Black women at 14.5%. And youth unemployment is really bad. It is at a staggering 31%.
So yeah, I do actually think Black Americans have a legitimate reason to wonder where the hell is the first Black president for them and trying to get the economy going so that they can get back to work.
Talking Black as the Dear Leader, President Obama, was doing does not help anyone. Period.
But here is what Congressman Mad Max said that I thoroughly agree with her on:

“I found that language a bit curious because the president spoke to the Hispanic Caucus, and certainly they’re pushing him on immigration… he certainly didn’t tell them to stop complaining. And he would never say that to the gay and lesbian community, who really pushed him on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

And like a broken clock is right at least twice a day, Congressman Mad Max is totally right on this one.
And here is the skinny on why and a light on the underbelly of identity politics in the left and among the Democrat party.
The left sees Hispanics as the future. That is why they want to be the ones that get the so-called comprehensive immigration "reform" through congress at any cost. Hispanics are growing at an astounding rate. Legal and illegal. And they, to the left and the Democrat establishment, translate to potential votes.
And how about Congressman Mad Max's comments on the Dear Leader, President Obama, regarding homosexuals?
They are a Democrat party cash cow. Many of the homosexual activist left are wealthy and want something for all the money they steer the Democrats' way. And yeah, they pushed hard on the armed services regarding "Don't ask, don't tell". And they got their way.
We have to remember that this president ran as something that he is not.
A race transformer.
He is resorting to ginning up the base because he has lost the minimal Republican support he had. And is losing independent voters in droves. Thus, he needs his base to stand by him and come out in the kind of numbers they did in the 2008 election.
But it appears that there is a reason the Dear Leader, President Obama, is campaigning like crazy for money. Because it ain't commin in like it did in '08.
As Mr. Koffler notes in the piece, even the Democrat establishment is coming to the realization.
The Thrill Is Gone!
Somehow, I just do not think that the Dear Leader, President Obama, is going to get the thrill back by talking down and insulting the very people that are his biggest supporters. He will need them more than ever.
Can you say that this president is in the midst of Amateur Hour?
