President Obama's political organization agrees with Vice President Joe Biden:
"Health Reform is a BFD."
While using a four-letter word could land an elementary school kid in detention, Organizing for America is embracing it with the hope of raising some cash. OFA, the president's political arm housed at the Democratic National Committee, is using Biden's now infamous phrase on a T-shirt to commemorate the signing of health care reform into law. Donors who give at least $25 will receive "a limited edition 'Health Reform is a BFD' T-shirt in a super-soft, fine jersey (men's) or baby rib (women's) cotton fabric," according to a new fundraising page posted Wednesday on OFA's Web site. A microphone picked up the vice president's comments. A short time later, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wrote on his Twitter account: "And yes Mr. Vice President, you're right ... "

I see the little girl asking her Dad, "What does BFD mean?" The Father replies, "It's Bad For Democrats." President Obama was "Bad For Democrats." Why? Leadership doesn't get frustrated and force it's will on the weaker minority. Leadership invites those without a voice to the table, hears their concerns, feels comfortable in it's power, and crafts legislation that appeals to the greater good. This process was "No Good." Obama was "Bad For Democrats" because this process was "Bush." It was "My Way or the Highway." Hit the road Jack!

.....Indeed Ms. Lankford. In addition to what you state, unlike our own game playing deceitful self-serving elitist treasonous stealing from the Black community supporting illegal immigration no good elected Black leaders, be it Democratic Party affiliated or otherwise, who bend over backwards to serve any other community but the Black community, specifically as it concerns law abiding U.S. born Black men, women, and/or their siblings....

Hispanic elected leaders and/or organizations, such as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, MALDEF, LA RAZA, Hispanic American Business Association, etc., etc., etc., these individuals truly serve their primary constituency, to protect their Constitutional rights, to expand employment opportunity for Hispanics, etc., etc., etc.

I just love it when the truth hits home, in that President Barack Obama doesn't give a single granual size rat's turd about the plight of Black people cheated or egregiously violated by government, etc., etc.

"Mr. Peabody, I beg your pardon. I don't know where you live, but in America the President's the peoples man, not just for a chosen or select group. Whether you acknowledge it or not, that's the deal..accept it and move on...the sooner the better." by Barry
.....President Obama is the worst in what it means to be a representative or advocate of the American People, law abiding U.S. citizens, legal immigrant advocates, free enterprize, business interests, etc., etc., etc.
President Obama is deceitful, a liar, a hypocrite, a despot, sleazy, cut-throat, you name it! Why U.S. born Black people are head over heals for Obama, when his track record betrays all law abiding U.S. citizens, U.S. born Black men, women, and/or their siblings being inclusive!

As usual no good President Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus Promote Amnesty for Illegal/Undocumented Immigrants at the Expense of Black America!

Illegal Immigration
The U.S. immigration system is broken. There are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. It is vital that Congress take action to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration. The status quo is unacceptable and I share many of your frustrations with this issue.
First, I am wholeheartedly against amnesty. I believe it is inherently unfair to give legal status to those whose first actions were to break our laws. Below are some of the initiatives I support to deter illegal immigration, increase interior enforcement and keep our border secure:
• Public Law 109-367 – The Secure Fence Act. Mandates the Department of Homeland Security to build 700 miles of fence on the southern border.
• Citizenship Reform. Denies citizenship to an individual born in the U.S. if both parents are illegal immigrants or do not reside in the U.S legally.
• English Only. Declares English the official language of the United States.
• No Credit Cards for Illegals. Requires the federal government and financial institutions to accept only secure forms of identification.
• No Social Security for illegal immigrants.
• No drivers’ licenses for illegal immigrants.
"I have always supported the legal immigration process but during tough economic times and scarce resources my priority is to U.S. citizens and legal residents," Calvert said in a statement. "I will continue to support an enforcement-first approach to illegal immigration that ensures jobs and benefits go to Americans and legal residents."
***************************************************
“Chief among the concerns of black lawmakers is the president's failure to address a black unemployment rate that far exceeds that of the general population. Sixteen percent of black workers are unemployed, and among black teens, a staggering 44.9 percent are out of work.”
“Many of the jobs filled by illegal aliens could be filled by black Americans, especially the huge cohort of black youth who are neither in school nor part of the labor force.”
“Rather than press the president to fulfill his responsibilities to American workers and resume meaningful enforcement against companies that employ illegal aliens, removing those workers from the country, the CBC marches in lockstep with the interests that promote illegal immigration. Since taking office last year, Mr. Obama has all but halted immigration enforcement in the workplace - a policy that enjoys the support of the CBC”
Legal immigration trumps illegal immigration. Any Black elected official(s) or elected representative(s) supporting or promoting illegal immigration and/or amnesty for illegal/undocumented immigrants should be voted out of office by the responsible Black electorate.
The Black community has been overrun by illegal immigrants from Haiti, Jamaica, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cuba, China, Korea, Vietnam, Latin America, etc., etc., at the expense of the lawful rights, lawful right to be gainfully employed of U.S. born law abiding Black men, women, and/or their siblings.
Constitutional protections and mandates are reserved for law abiding U.S. citizens, and legal immigrants, first and foremost.
Illegal immigration is just that, criminal.
Amnesty for illegal/undocumented immigrants is unfair to the many individuals who enter the U.S. legally, who play by the rules and who follow the legal path to become legal immigrants, and/or future naturalized citizens.
