Barack Obama hates black people.

RELEASE THE BIDEN

downstairs		2012-07-12 09:47:08 AM

So he has better things to do like being the friggin' President of the United States of America?

brigid_fitch		2012-07-12 10:20:11 AM

I love this new "controversy" the media and the right-wing are now flogging: Why isn't the president addressing the NAACP? What does it mean? Does he not care about their vote? And, unspoken, is the underlying question of why isn't the black president addressing other blacks?

Obama got 95% of the African American vote in 2008. I don't think they're going to suddenly switch parties because Biden's showing up instead.

Because if he did, the new "controversy" would be "Obama pandering to the blacks?" or "NAACP in the tank for Obama!" or "Is Obama promoting a poverty pimp agenda?" or "Secret ties between NAACP and Black Panthers exposed."

Just send the goofy guy from Delaware.

"Obama flies to Texas to campaign in front of people who would never vote for the other guy anyway, ALL ON THE TAXPAYER DIME!!"

Romney: 1 job, running for president.

Obama: 2 jobs, running for president, being president.

Move along.

Obama hates Houston. If this was anywhere else, he would be available.

Why should he stump for votes he knows he already has?

When Obama is too busy to make a public appearance, you just KNOW that some scumbag somewhere out there in the world is about to get wacked.

I would assume Romney couldn't make up a good enough prior engagement. Maybe if he had a running mate. If he didn't go it would only make him look more aloof.

It's probably a waste of his campaigning time, the guy has voters to win over.

I just watched Biden's speech, I'm guessing this fake nontroversy has just breathed it's last breath.

birchman		2012-07-12 11:39:34 AM

And if he did go, all we'd be hearing is "WHY IS HE MAKING SPEECHES WHEN HE SHOULD BE FIXING THE ECONOMY AND CREATING JOBS WHARBLOMGDERPBBQ11!!1"

I do feel like I've dropped into Bizzaro world this week. Yesterday you had the Washington Post's "fact checker" calling the president a liar because he disagreed with Obama's defintion of "many" (as in "many middle class Americans pay a higher tax rate than Romney")

Today a googled news search revealed that bizzarely, only the hyper-right wing rag The Washington Examiner is running a story pointing out that Romney's attacks on Obama as the "Outsourcer in Chief" because stimulus dollars were spent overseas, are kinda disingenous because it was the Republicans who killed a "buy American" clause in the bill that would have prevented that from happening.

That seems worth pointing out, and yet the vast majority of the "Mainstream media" hasn't bothered

Dwight_Yeast		2012-07-12 11:46:14 AM

Dusk-You-n-Me: Biden is hammering the GOP in this speech.

It's one of the smart things they've done: Biden is always the attack dog, which leaves Obama's hands clean.

And really, after the speech at the Apollo where he sang Al Green, was there anything Obama needed to say to the black community?

LasersHurt		2012-07-12 11:47:42 AM

Missed it live, anyone know of a video up anywhere (of Biden's speech)?

In case you haven't noticed, Obama has continued many of Bush's policies, but that's cool, right?

No, it's not cool. Alternative: Romney will continue ALL of Bush's policies.

Next point I can biatchslap?

Shrugging Atlas		2012-07-12 11:52:15 AM

The reason is simple. Obama already has their votes and he's also attempting to play 'good cop' on the campaign trail. So send Biden to use the opportunity to absolutely nuke Romney and the GOP to a group that will respond extremely well to such a speech. Which is exactly what's happening.

So yeah, as was already said, "Release the Biden."

Shrugging Atlas		2012-07-12 11:53:31 AM

Jackson Herring: "Obama flies to Texas to campaign in front of people who would never vote for the other guy anyway, ALL ON THE TAXPAYER DIME!!"

And as we already know, it costs $234,123,881,190.03 per mile for Obama to travel anywhere.

That was really a dumb move. That's an easy slam-dunk for the black vote and instead it's turned into Battle of the Dopey-ass White Guys.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston are two of the best museums of their types in the country. The Texas Medical Center is amazing. Rice University is also nice.

The rest of Houston absolutely and completely sucks.

Biden is scheduled to deliver the keynote address Thursday at the annual convention in Houston, Texas.

Want.

Vid *and* text.

Most of the people who don't think Biden is a good speaker haven't heard him speak.

/Aside from the odd asinine "gaffe" that gets used to reinforce a lazy media meme.

This latest "Is Obama taking (insert group of traditional Dem supporters) for granted?" narrative is getting a bit tired.

/Don't ya think?
