G.W. Bush called it "the soft bigotry of low expectations," but he was being too kind. Not only do the Leftists expect little of value from blacks but they work to keep blacks voting for low expectations, mostly by assuring them that they dare not ever have high expectations for themselves. And those whose expectations ARE high and who achieve their higher goals are demeaned and demonized as Uncle Toms or worse, abandoning "their people."

I recall reading that the worst, most cruel thing the slaveholders did during the days of slavery was to separate fathers from their children, which the fathers protested with great energy. How ironic is it that LBJ's "Great Society" has done a far more complete job of destroying the black family (as well as a number of white families), yet it is hailed as a great accomplishment FOR blacks. It appears that many black fathers (as well as ne're-do-well white fathers) are now quite happy to let others care for and raise their children. I believe that even includes Barack's own father; you'd think he might appreciate the sad result of black fathers abandoning their children and that he might do something to try to right that wrong.

You silly gooses are forgetting that D is the party of Food Stamps. Common sense tells THEM that the more people on the various forms of welfare, the more votes they'll get in November. People gots ta keep the gravy train running! Just don't confuse the objectives. There's improving America for Americans, then there's getting re-elected. They've merely chosen a different method of achieving THEIR goal than you might (as well as choosing a different goal than you might).

I heard that Wright was OFFERED the $150,000 but did not take it. Who knows.

You may be surprised to know that one Obama-votin' friend had read both of young Barack's "auto"biographies and was swooning with awe at 0's wonderfulness. (She was also super-impressed that he had been a Community Organizer, of course.) She was born into wealth, has never had a paying job, and is married to a retired lawyer who also was borne into wealth. She frothed with hatred at the mention of Sarah Palin, who was PRO-LIFE, dumb, and had never done a worthwhile thing. Portrait of a typical white Obama voter?

Silly goose, what those rich kids do is hardly work. Or at least instead of being productive work, it's COUNTERproductive work. And not a lot harder than what John Dillinger did for a living, nor more noble (in their cases).

Yes but the people in the congregation actually heard what Rev. Wright said, unlike Obama, who somehow missed it all.

W's mistake was in NOT reading enough teleprompter. As we have seen, if you read good teleprompter, you are "brilliant."

Yes, "like a father" is in no way related to "a father," though the fact that 0 never knew his real father might refashion that rule just a bit. I'm curious what facts have brought you to conclude that "GWB had almost no shred of self-reflection," as well as how that relates to W's relationship to his father. And do you think 0 DOES have lots of shreds of self-reflection? How can you tell?

Medical? Really? Not unless the Supreme Court strikes down ObamaCare in its entirety.
