    I can't imagine what would happen if a white candidate did this for white people. How is this alright?

    I believe it is racism.

    How about we quit dividing our fellow countrymen into factions? Why can't we just all be Americans?

    It's going to be really interesting to see how the left feels about getting a dose of their own medicine from the next white conservative president. I hope you'll remember the joy you felt while admitting the POTUS is a racist. Maybe you'll have a chance to recapture that warm, fuzzy feeling?

    I agree that it is wrong. But I would say that every minority group has done this forever. I mean there has been the "Congressional Black Caucus" since 1969.

    So I find it odd that the first time I hear people complaining about it is with Obama.

    It really cracks me up.... the fact is: white america RUNS the place. they control EVERYTHING that means ANYTHING and they have since the very beginning. When minorities want to band together to develop a little clout to try to make a dent in that overwhelming WASP domination of the American economy and society, whitey starts screaming that they are RACIST for doing so. Were blacks racist when they wanted to be something other than property? Were they racist when they wanted the right to vote? So now... all of a sudden, they are racist because they have a shared interest in seeing Obama reelected? what a joke.

    The double standard by the left and the National (Democratic Party) Media is outrageous. Two wrongs do not make a right.

    What if Herman Cain had done this? I believe the media would have went nuts.

    Dear Blacks,

    Vote Democratic, think liberal, or we will castigate you. If you stay on the left wing plantation, then it's cool.

    Signed,

    The National Media

    The Pc comes in when someone is so stupid that the defend this. People so afraid to not be Pc that they would not admit that at no time in our history has a president spoken directly to a certain race in this country in such a way. I remember all president up till now, speaking to the American people, and not white Americans, or black Americans.

    It is becoming ever more clear that this president is becoming desperate.

    Now if people such as yourself would stop with the Pc bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and just see this speech for what it is....racist. You don't always have to agree with absolutely everything this president does, do you? You can disagree with him even if it's just this one time....we won't tell anyone.

    so...if you believe that, I guess you must also believe that then there is nothing racist about a bunch of black americans wanting to reelect the white guy.

    is that right?

    Easy... Lyndon Johnson has a lot of audio of him using the "N" word... and the following quote:

    "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."

    -- Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler's Book, "Inside The White House"​

    This Democratic Plantation thing is real and created by design back during Lydon Johnson's reign. I would supply the audio, but the last time I did that, I was called a "racist" for offering an audio with those awful words on it. It was a left wing attempt to discount the very real strategy by the Democrats.

    Ah what the heck... call me a racist again.

    DISCLAIMER: I do not endorse the use of the words which President Lyndon B. Johnson uses in the audio below. It is a horrific audio, so please be careful when playing it.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1rIDmDWSms"]President Lyndon Johnson using the "N" word. - YouTube[/ame]

    I 100% am against the use of the words employed by President Johnson. I apologize if anyone is upset.

    funny... you never hear any brave republican politicians ever standing up in front of a black audience and berating them for being stupid shiftless dupes who willingly take the dole from the democrats and stay on their plantation. I wonder why that is?

    O wait ... Newt said he's going to talk at the NAACP ... I can't wait.

    He going to show Black how to turn Welfare Check into Pay Checks.

    It's that wonderful of him.

    I'm sure he'll be making that announcement any day now.
