  • this is called over-thinking.

  • why do americans take one thing way to far -_-

  • Comment removed

  • Hang him!

  • It is just a painting!!

  • Learn the little Black girl's name...it is Ruby Bridges 

  • they will never stop cryin about slavery ! its fuckin history ...leave it at that ! ohhh and btw you werent the only fuckin slaves on this planet .

  • ... We have this print over the telephone table...... Next

  • And this is why he shouldn't be president..

  • @youmakemelaugh99 ... Because of a painting? LOL, you make me laugh.

  • @emantabrizi Yes.. That's why I made it my user name! XD

  • The President shouldn't do ANYTHING specifically targeted at one race in this country. That rule applies to both white AND black Presidents.

  • @emantabrizi lmao calvin coolidge was a member of the KKK...at least 5 us presidents owned slaves

  • @LordTariq83 ... Okay? What does that have to do with my comment?

  • I don't see anything wrong with it. It was a turbulent time and an important part of American history.

  • @SpazzyMcGee1337 ... I agree, completely.

  • Obama in fact divides and causes racism. one more example of this. Obama = the great divider

  • I wonder if they will have to tear out the carpets like they have to when niggers get their section 8 eviction notices

  • He and his wife are racist

  • Haha at 1:29 I looked away from my screen to read a text msg and he said "obama and his aides" I was like WTF did he just say then he finished the quote and it made sense.

  • Cenk had a good thing going, but there's one crucial part of Obama he's forgetting:

    Obama doesn't give a damn about what his critics on the left think. "Oh the black caucus doesn't support me no more? Sad day for them, Fox News only criticized me 31 times today!"

  • I am black. I hung some pictures up in my house, too. Discuss amongst yourselves.

  • @Verowatches

    An interesting move. Perhaps Verowatches is trying to gather support amongst POC for another race war... It only makes sense.

  • @SgtSanchez

    Of course I am. The little red flowers are particularly riotous. And don't get me started on the little girl with wings. Grrrrr!!!!!

  • Shit like this just makes us more separate. If everyone just stopped giving a damn about race could we worry about politics?

  • I agree with Michael here. It's a historical painting, and the White House is a great place for it to be.

  • I wish everybody would stop trying to read something into everything the man does!!! He hung a painting...so freakin what!!!!!!!

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHA ... Obama and his aides ..Typical

  • DAM U OBAMA

  • 1:54

    Hes back..

  • I think the black community was absolutely satisfied with Lincoln's work. Im sure he would have done a lot more for them if he had not been shot too.

  • It's art. It has meaning. So stfu all you incompetent, ignorant & meek beings.

    It obviously has meaning,

    Yes that word is vulgar but what is this painting trying to say?

    Art can explain it's self in abnormal & intriguing ways.

    That is what makes art powerful.

  • Im more concerned obama is president despite being born in Kenya

  • @zgenstru Obama is of Kenyan descent. He was born in Hawai. You cant be president of you aren't born on American soil (in the country, military bases in other countries)

  • @jjhotchocolate97 no thats what his proven FAKE birth certificate says. He was really born in Kenya.

  • Who cares man

  • Who cares why he put it up. It's his house. He should be able to do whatever the hell he wants.

  • This is a Beautiful painting. Can't it just be what it is?

  • Gotta love Michael, taking the cynical level down a notch. It's an historic piece of artwork, that's why it's being put up. How would this placate the black community whatsoever? Obama isn't stupid, he knows he has to actually DO something that actually fixes the problems, not just hang a painting. It's completely unrelated. Only thing I would disagree with Shure on is that I'm pessimistic that Obama wants to do anything to fix the problems: it doesn't seem to be a priority at all.

  • why does there have to be a black plan is there an asian plan?or arab plan ?how bout the jewish plan?if feel its insulting to black people to say they need constant help they CAN do shit on there own.

  • @txteabagger

    why do politicians have to cater to ANY group or sector of the economy? Why pander to the elderly? to the middle-class? to teachers? to women? to soccer moms? to those in unions? those with manufacturing jobs? to jews? to white collar workers? to wall street? to veterans?

    Where is there ONLY a problem when the poor and when BLACKS are addressed?

    Get off your HYPOCRITICAL high-horse.

  • @marcdaddy33 WRONG all those are not specific races .elderly is not a race,middle class is not a race,soccer mom is not a race i mentioned jews they shouldnt and dont have PLANS set up for them cuz they got shit going on and they need no help no specific race needs extra help if I was black i would feel insulted that MY race needs so much assistance.I would say no thanks we can prosper without you guys .

  • @txteabagger

    They are all INTEREST GROUPS.... politicians PANDER to INTEREST GROUPS for VOTES. No one, including YOU, has issues when politicians pander to EACH of the interest groups that I mentioned, EXCEPT when it comes to the poor and BLACKS. notice I didn't make a general statement about "race". It's OK for the presidential candidate to PRETEND to be a cowboy with his ranch, to have that down-home manner of talk to appeal to WHITE MEN, but try to reach blacks and it is VERBOTEN.

  • @marcdaddy33 you lost me why are you talking about people acting like cowboys wtf are u talking about?My whole point is that there always is talk about BLACK leaders and help for BLACKS i am speaking about race u are bringing up non race related INTEREST groups .wHY DO WE NEVER ABOUT asian leaders in the usa or mexican leaders there is no al sharpton equivelant in these other races.So my whole point is black people are smart black people dont needany more help and that mindset should go away.

  • @txteabagger

    If there are interest groups, then there are those who ADVOCATE for those interest groups. Who advocates for the elderly? The AARP. Who advocates for union workers? AFL-CIO, Teamsters, and any other union you can think of. Who advocates for Jews? The Anti-Defamation League. Who advocates for the issues of women? NOW, League of Women Voters, feminists, etc. When leaders and organizations advocate for these interest groups it's OK, but somehow advocating for blacks isn't.

  • Part 2

    The whole point of the cowboy thing is to show how politicians, republican politicians, tend to do certain things to appeal to white male voters... things that would make a white man say "I can drink a beer with that guy".  Does George W. Bush still have his ranch in Texas? I doubt it... but it was a great way to gain the white male vote.

    Or look at John Kerry coming into that Democratic National Convention saying "I'm reporting for duty" to look more masculine and heroic.

  • Part 3

    "So my whole point is black people are smart black people dont needany more help and that mindset should go away."

    -----

    What help exactly have blacks received? WHEN? Back in the 60's and 70's? And what have they done for the black community? NOTHING. Yeah, you will probably try to bring up affirmative action- but that's a horrible example. AA would have NEVER gotten passed but for the provision to include women... and who most benefits from A.A.?

    WHITE WOMEN.

  • Part 4

    The fact of the matter is, politicians DON'T help blacks... to the entext that they DO help blacks, their policies actually HURT the black community or has no effect whatsoever. What politicians USUALLY do to look like they are helping blacks is a) appoint a black person in this or that position and that's it (Colin Powell, C. Rice, David Satcher, etc) or b) behave in ridiculous ways that might appeal to blacks (Bill Clinton playing the saxophone, Hillary Clinton "talking black", etc)

  • It's a delicate line for politicians... they WANT the black vote, but at the same time they don't want to alienate CORE VOTERS (the white and the elderly) who tend to look down on any pandering to the black community. What tends to happen is that during the Democratic Primary, the runners try to appeal to blacks w/o promising anything to them and then forget them during the general election.

    Because Obama is black, he ignores blacks altogether so as to appeal to whites and elderly.

  • Part 6

    wHY DO WE NEVER ABOUT asian leaders in the usa or mexican leaders there is no al sharpton equivelant in these other races.

    ------

    Have you never heard of LA RAZA??? Or how George W. Bush pandered like crazy for the Hispanic vote? Have you never heard of Cuban Americans and the GOP dedication to them? As for Asians, they are not a large enough group (like blacks and hispanics) NOR are they are powerful enough group (like JEWS) to garner that much attention.

  • how are the schools more segregated now?

  • Obama would do some pussy shit like this. He's all talk and no action.Empty suit.Michael Shure is another liberal Obama apologist. Making excuses every single time Obama does Republican policies.

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus FTW with the Mass Effect shirt

  • white peopleget to do and whatever they want, even make us call that stupid building the "white house". So who cares wut white people feel and think about the painting! They just don't want nobody shaming their "pink buts"! They need to get over themselves and take their own medicine!

  • @AtheistDefender Alas, AtheistDefender'shis honesty as a limit. haha Well nice chatting with u AD.

    LobsterPotsticker has a more reasonable reason for the high rate of black unemployment. I'm not sure that his reason is the total cause, but at least it can be quantified through census bureau statistics, rather than ur opinion-based reason about black culture. LOL I laughed so hard when i read ur comment. Ur a funny guy AD. :D

  • This video is proof that Cenk has mental issues. No, the President didn't hang the painting up to garner the black vote. This is a complete insult to blacks. STFU Cenk!

  • I dont know which reality Michael Shure leaves in. His naivete is too much to handle. Im not sure that they put the painting to apiece anyone. but its just so happens to be at the right time, safe enough not to cause controversy. the man is all about symbolism but sorry its just not good enough at this point.

  • i think there's some tension between Michael and Jimmy

  • He can hang whatever he wants in the Whitehouse but I know what I'd like to hang. WHOOO HAAAAA

  • @Depotman122 fsdfdslkjfnlsdj

  • @AtheistDefender said "The problem is called: black culture. If their focus was on working hard, getting a good education, instead of rap music and stuff, things would be different for them. But no.... lets blame white people, and get special benefits and stuff." Sounds like ur talking about black people to me. LOL

    Look, ur entitled to ur opinion. I just want u to admit ur a Conservative Republican. Ur so honest in ur opinion of blacks. So be honest now about ur political affiliation too. :D

  • Segregated more then they EVER have been??  How about no?0_o

    Chinese segregation in california, Mexican/Native segregation in arizona, African segregation everywhere else

    how are things "Worse den evar!!"wtf

  • you tube blacks being slaughterd in lybia

  • so much debate,controversies and shit just because of a black little girl in a painting.. this is ridiculous.

  • I have yet to here Obama coment on the slaughtering of black lybians by Nato backed rebells. As a black man I say fuck Obama, fuck congress and fuck nato. I sure hope this is Obamas last election. African american people dont support obama let this be his last term.

  • @AtheistDefender Actually, u dont need to answer. I took a look at ur page and saw u just created it a month ago with no information about urself. So ur actually just a Conservative Republican troll and thats why ur brave enough to say racist crap like blacks r lazy. LOL

    Can anyone out there tell me why the unemployement rate among blacks is higher than the national average, without insulting an entire race of people? There's no need for Conservatives to answer, we already know what u think.

  • @AtheistDefender LOL!!!!! Wow, I didnt see that one coming! LMAO I thought we were going to have a reasonable conversation! LOL Then u say that dumb shit! LMAO!!! OMG, that is so funny!

    U sound like a very honest person. So continue to be honest and do me a favor! Admit that ur a Conservative Republican! Dont start lieing now. Just admit it!

  • Michael made so much sense, I have to say that I feel that Michael is being more objective then Cenk. This is the first picture of it's kind in the white house, I'm black but I think maybe they're looking a little too much into this. I didn't even hear about this until now, the owner sought out to have this paining hang in the white house...not Obama..so idk

  • Why is this discussion happening now rather than 6 weeks ago when it was moved?

  • Come on guys, if Obama is really that calculating about everything he does, then we're really fucked.

  • @cablepanos Remember he has a staff that "advisess him on Bullshit like this as well as "everything else. When he selected his staff he choose extreme idiots. They look at "how his Base" will preceive it. Of course they have been wrong several times. "Pass the plan so we know what it is."

  • Every single action of a president that is made public is political in some way, even if only slightly.

  • how in the hell is hanging that pic doing something for black people? Evidently he hung that pic because he liked that pic, but what the hell does that do for us? I'll tell you.....NOT A DAMN THING!!!! @ViciousOneWon-quit stereotyping-how long has hip hop been around? Not since this bullshit has been going on, take responsibility for your part-overtly and covertly oppressing, not making available or attainable the same opportunities-but then again mybe u'r pwt =

  • The most important about this painting is a reminder of how "ugly" and misguided conservative Americans can be, when they all love to talk about American exceptionalism. The same way most Americans are disgusted by how their ancestors behaved with this little girl, Americans in the future will look back at how their conservative ancestors defended policies that helped transfer all their wealth to corporations or discriminate gays and be just as horrified. Greatest nation on earth my ass.

  • Comment removed

  • State Senator Clay Davis has done more for the black community than Barack Obama. Sheeeit!!!

  • @ViciousOneWon

    You get it. :-)

  • I would see it as a tribute to the MLK statue being open than anything being political. It's a way of adding to that celebration of black history.

  • OBAMA IS NOT A NEGRO!!! HE IS A AFRICAN OKAY!! THEY WOULD NEVER BUT A NEGRO IN OFFICE!!

  • @99Thepoet

    Africans were the first to be called Negro. If your talking about the word nigger than I can understand what your saying.

  • @redeyeddawn2

    @99Thepoet

    Yeah, learn your Spanish. Negro means black, so if you have something against using the word "black" too, then OK. The reality, though, is that can be used as a descriptive term; it isn't necessarily derogatory. And, sheesh, we're all of African heritage (though many forget this fact, if they even accept it).

  • I have to disagree with Cenk on this one, considering that the owner of the painting sought Obama out to hang the painting in the White House not the other way around.

  • @nikkichicki8 I think that's of marginal importance if it's factual. The point they're making is that many people have sought support for fundemental issues from him, and he refuses to give it. So the question is not 'whose idea was it to put up the painting?' it's more 'why did he agree to hang it up?'. Black voters are unhappy with him, and he may believe hanging up a painting will appease them. He saw an opening to pull some straight up propoganda shit.

  • @nikkichicki8 Cenk really went off the deep end on this topic: Jimmy no doubt is a bad influence :-P

  • @nikkichicki8 In the event U R correct & the paintings owner sought to have the painting displayed in the WH this is big FAIL on the part of TYT. In that there is no issue here, not there is one anyway.

  • @nikkichicki8 Cenk probably did not even investigate how the painting came to be considered to be hung in the White House. Cenk looks for every opportunity to criticize the President which is why he probably did not take the time to fully investigate this story. I wish Cenk would spend more time organizing progressives to form a mass movement to fight for what they want instead of spending so much time talking about the President. Cenk is doing more harm than good for progressives.

  • connecting a painting to policy reminds me of glenn beck & his chalkboard.

  • The first black president hanging it should be inspirational, not controversial. The fact that he can't hang a painting without his racial allegiance being brought up is telling, and annoying. How stupid are black people supposed to be that we will vote simply based on a painting?! WTF! Michael Shure is taking Jayar's role, making complete and total sense! Jayar is right about 1 think, Jimmy & Cenk look pretty f'ing crazy!

  • Obama claims to be a uniter, but the simplest empirical survey will show that he is the most explosive divider seen in this country in decades, since he has succeeded in splitting both the Democratic Party and the US population in general according to the classic fault lines of white against black, black against Hispanic, black against Asian, black against Jewish, men against women, old against young, rich against poor. Obama is planning a civil war.

  • I think a random Turian at the Citadel said it best, "All you humans are racist".

  • I've always loved that painting. I wonder if it's the original?

    But whatever. Hanging a painting like that has nothing more than aesthetic effect. Politically, Obama needs to do more for the African-American community, which is suffering more in the recession than most other groups.

  • since when is 2:1 a tie?

  • It is simply Obama's own statement, " I am black". That's my interpretation. President's place is center , not right or left.

  • I don't think the president should do anything for any particular community, he should help everyone no focus on just one race or gender or religion. If we help everyone equally then no one can complain that they are being treated unfairly.

  • Obama is certainly not naive enough to believe this is going to silence anyone. I think at this point people on all sides of the media blow everything he does out of proportion.

  • @AtheistDefender Blacks have 15% unemployment and national average is 9%. I hear people quoting this fact all the time, but I never hear the reason why. We must understand the cause of the higher level of unemployment before we can address it. Have u heard any reports of why the unemployment rate is so much higher among blacks than the national average?

  • @ViciousOneWon because it's the most impoverished group starting out. every country has an impoverished groups

  • @LobsterPotsticker OMG! A rational idea! Thank u. Do me a favor and admit that ur NOT a Conservataive Republican. Conservative Republicans typically have a lack of logic. So when I hear a rational thought, I tend to think it doesnt come from a Conservative.

  • @ViciousOneWon i'm not a republican : D

  • So let me get this right. Cenk thinks the White House believes that hanging a picture will silence Obamas critics. LMAO That idea is so damn RIDICULOUS!

    Cenk has lost his objectivity and that is why he cant be on any mainstream networks anymore. The biggest sign of it was when he defended Weiner! That was a clear sign his objectivity was gone and his MSNBC job soon followed that mistake. Now he continues his ridiculous tirade about a painting! LOL

    Ur losing it Cenk. Take a vacation please!

  • @ViciousOneWon The defense of Weiner was perfectly fine. Why should he have felt forced to resign?

  • @ViciousOneWon the problem is with your thinking that the system is not corrupt or broken...or maybe you do think that but don't realize how you contraditcted yourself with this comment "lost objectivitiy so got kicked from msnbc". Either way MSNBC kicked Cenk because he was calling out shit for what it actually was....not reading the scripted "picture" the media loves to paint for the stupid sheep in this country.

  • @jallison79 I think Cenk "calling out shit" was a part of him getting leaving MSNBC too. But I dont think it was the only thing. He defended Weiner like he knew him personally and practically put his good name on Weiner's actions! That was silly to do.

    Anyway, its just my opinion. I respect that fact that some others think differently.

  • I don't accept the term "black community". It encourages seperatism.

  • I've never seen Michael so naive.

  • @aaronpolitical To think that the White House believes a painting will silence Obamas critics is absolutely ridiculous. Do u think a painting will silence the critics? Does anyone u know think a painting will silence the critics? Does anyone on TYT think a painting will silence critics? So why the hell would anyone think the White House would think it?! Its so silly!

    Cenk has lost his objectivity. It cost him his job at MSNBC and cost democrat votes in 2012.

  • @ViciousOneWon Obama is all hat and no cattle. The painting is more hat, because he doesn't care that the true progressives in this country hate his hat. Moderates still defend his hat, and I bet you're one of them. Spare us your faux-intellectual analysis.

    Cenk told us the truth about MSNBC. Learn to recognize truth when you are told it. Go review all the facts and think whether there was anything he could have won there, and still been himself.

  • @aaronpolitical Answer my question - Do u think a painting will silence critics? Do u know anyone that thinks a painting will silence critics? Name a person in govt that admitted they think putting up a painting in the White House will silence critics!

    The fact is u cant name anyone! So why the hell would the White House think putting up a painting will silence critics! Use some common sense!

    Cenk told truth on MSNBC. Then he went off the deepend defending Weiner and his job went with him!

  • @ViciousOneWon The White House has been wrong, repeatedly, on how to govern and on how to put a good face on that governance. Why should this be any different?

    Now WEINER coverage is the reason Cenk "lost his job"? LMAO

    You know who else was going out of their way to defend Weiner? Rachel Maddow. They even analyzed the pictures' metadata to "prove" it wasn't Weiner in the first pics. She's still got a show. Try again.

  • @aaronpolitical I'll take ur lack of an answer to my question as a win for me! :D

    I dont watch Maddow so I dont know the differences between how she defended Weiner and how Cenk did. Also, I'm not saying that his coverage of Weiner was the only reason but no one reasonably say it helped him in his position at MSNBC.

  • @ViciousOneWon So if I answered "no" you wouldn't have claimed a win? I guess you have to take wins wherever you think you can get them. But we're all LOSING right now from Obama's incompetence or worse, his being complicit as a corporatist. And here he's got liberals arguing with each other over how great (or not) he is. What a riot.

    OK so now his Weiner coverage didn't "help him" at MSNBC. Wow, you really have it in for Cenk, now. When will you learn that he's right about Obama?

  • @aaronpolitical If u answer "no", I wouldnt have to claim the win because u'd have proven my point.

    If u answered "yes" then we wouldnt need to discuss the issue any further because thats obviously an unreasonable answer.

    U didnt answer at all because u know that the only reasonable answer is "no". But u dont want to admit I'm right. So I claim the win, because u refuse to admit ur wrong!

    I like Cenk, but sometimes his critisms are unreasonable.

  • @ViciousOneWon I like you, but sometimes your criticisms are unreasonable as well. You didn't win the argument, because your question was irrelevant. The White House has been wrong before, on message and on policy, and in utter contradiction to who I thought I was electing. So I see this in a different light.

    Let me ask you: why NOW? Why did he put it up NOW? I don't believe in coincidences. He just got slammed by the Black Caucus (man that sounds dirty), and THAT's why he put it up.

  • @aaronpolitical So u think the Black Caucus slams Obama about problems in the black community and Obama puts up a picture to stop the critism! LOL Thats silly! Unless the Caucus criticized him about pictures in the White House, the idea is insane!

    Putting up a picture to appease critics OBVIOUSLY wont work! Thats why I say Cenk is going overboard with his critism again! Of course, we're all guessing Obamas intentions, but a "coincidence" is FAR more reasonable than Cenks conclusion!

  • @ViciousOneWon As I said, I do not believe in coincidences. All he has been offering the Black Caucus is talk, talk, talk, that's why they're so upset. I don't think he's learned anything yet about how that talking IS the problem, because all we've gotten from him, STILL, is talking. "We" meaning liberals in general.

    Why does it feel like I keep coming at this problem from different angles and you keep reiterating your one basic thought? Can you try to think about all he's said and not done?

  • @aaronpolitical I reiterate my basic thought because its all thats needed to show Cenks critizism is unfounded. Putting up a picture CANNOT stop the critism. U know it, I know it, Cenk knows it, and u cant find ANYONE that thinks putting up a picture will stop the critism. So they the heck would anyone think the White House believes putting up a picture will stop the critism?! Its just plain silly!

  • @ViciousOneWon Glad you were able to listen to someone else in my stead. As I said, he's tried this sort of thing before, and whether it works or not, he has never seemed to care.

  • @ViciousOneWon Moments like this makes me glad that I majored in Philosophy and minored in Psych. Cenk is not off base with his question or suspicion. First we should know just how petty the human being is. Since I am black and still read racist quotes from whites calling blacks monkeys in 2011, I know how "needy" people can be and are. The fact that some blacks think Obama cannot relate to blacks or chooses not to, finds its contrast in him putting up a 60s civil rights image.

  • @REASONINFUSION Ur point is well taken. U could be right, but in my opinion, is unlikely. Thanks for infusing ur reason into the conversation. :D

  • @ViciousOneWon David Seabury once said, "Because evil people are schemers, is that a reason why you should use inefficient methods? Scheming is essential to living" Obama is not a "bad" person, but he is purposeful hence if anyone dare think Sonia S had nothing to do with the hispanic vote (although she was qualified!).

  • Why doesn't he just point to his skin, or use some of that ethnic speech that Harry Reid said he could use, if he wanted to? Surely that would satisfy them. All his liberal rhetoric has satisfied most of us all this time. ;P

  • Poor whites in the ghettos receive benefits so if you want to trade places and let me live in your suburban home.

  • I usually look the other way when race issues comes up but blogger rooms have shed light on the kind of society we really live in. The truth is that there is serious racism especially toward minorities.

  • Micheal is soooo right

  • @lex811117 Absolutely!

  • so is JR a Ralph Nader guy? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee boy! I always knew he was awesome

  • Commander Sherpard makes an appearance.a topic so serious shouldn't be mixed with ME,but as you can read.......im guilty.

  • When you're a famous person, such as a president every move or action you make is calculated and nothing is done randomly.

    And I think that 0bama is a white Man with a black Skin (a puppet), who plays a malicious game of some people who rules the country.

  • There's nothing he could do that wouldn't offend white people.

  • @coffeebeanbonanza Now if that wouldve been the other way around, you wouldve been flamed and thumbed down, BUT OH WELL RACISM GOES ONE WAY ONLY HEHEHEHEHEHE

  • My black friends say the painting does nothing for their unemployment rates.

  • @skaredufngamen what painting would? why would you compare a painting to a policy. does the drapes that michelle chooses effect our economy. did inviting common to the white house cause the earthquake in NYC.? wtf???

  • How would people react if a white president did this?

  • All politics and no policy ...damn he said it best

  • @Alexplus20 I live in Alabama. I'm not racist, and I don't no one racist at all

  • It's a fact known world wide that the southern states in America are the most racist places on the planet

  • Puts a painting on his wall and the drawling, outraged shouts of millions of racists can be heard. The behavior that conservatives show towards Obama is just pathetic and disgusting.

  • Shithead just wants more blacks to vote for him

  • @MrNorthPaw

    Go to hell, jackoff.

  • @MrNorthPaw

    Exactly. Glad to see someone here gets it.

  • @MrNorthPaw Name a politician that doesnt want more votes. NEWSFLASH - They're all shitheads, not just Obama!

  • @MrNorthPaw because blacks vote based on paintings?

  • has he helped GE?.......Duh!

  • Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but did anyone notice the N7 shirt the guy on the right was wearing near the end? It is clear that he is a Mass Effect fan.

  • THEY CAN GIVE $17000.00 PER PERSON IN THE U.S.A. FOR THE SAME MONEY GIVEN LAST TIME " DO THAT AGAIN GIVE THE PEOPLE THE MONEY AND I'LL BE HAPPY "

  • I don't care about the strategy or the political move, I care about jobs. What you can do to improve conditions and while Black leaders are criticizing him, they still are gonna vote for him. So I don't get what they are complaining about.

    PS: A professor from UCLA wrote a piece from the Huffington Post. My how things change. He doesn't realize that 2+ years ago Obama won the "diverse" vote. But if he loses in 2012, is a lose-lose situation. After all, we'll all be racists if we vote him out.

  • @conservativesaiyan said "we'll all be racists if we vote him out." I assume ur trying to say some people will call us racists if we dont re-elect Obama.

    The fact is some will say voters r racist regardless of the election! When Obama was elected, some said its because he's black. Now if he loses, some will say its because hes black. No matter what happens some will say its because hes black.

    But, most Americans vote based on politics and track record. So it doesnt matter what some say.

  • Obama translation: Sure, I'm not doing anything for the black community but look, I put up a historical black painting near my office. Obama 2012!

    Me: -facepalm-

  • Bronco Bomber.

  • Michael Myers??
