Max Disher > Matthew Fisher and the Knights of Nordica ride again.

In 80 years NOTHING has changed.

The absolutely saddest thing of all, however, is that the Hon.Bro.Preznit has so little with which to affirmatively counter this musty stategery.

No hope, no change, no truth, no genuine and compelling democratic impulse, just the tattered motley of "I couldn't be as bad as this other guy".

This Black No More RFK-channeling Brookings sock puppet - the rorschachian - lacks the basic and obvious testicular fortitude to counter Romney's hokum by simply being the first black president indeed.

Is that what the Republicans are doing? White politicians have been doing the ever since The Democrats called Lincoln a Negro Ape. That's what they do. But riddle me this bat man??? Why is it that our "change agent" President doesn't call The Republicans out on this age old strategy????? Is it because he engages in the same old cynical games? He want talk about poverty or what the bankers are doing, Yet he will tell the Black Caucus( on National TV) "to quit complaining, quit crying, and quit winning". And guess who he's doing that for????

Obama has thrown Black people and progressives under the bus to score points with working class white people, that is not a successful strategy to Change this county, it's just a strategy for more cynicism. Quit being a shrill for the Democratic Party, yo!

I agree.


I agree.

@Invisible Man:

Yep. Black people also have short memories and that comment sealed it. Well maybe not. My Spidey sense went off when Prez O took Lincoln's train ride. Lincolon hated Black people. That was my first WTF moment. There have been many more. But yeah. That comment sealed it.

Slave Master Romney’s presidential campaign ads are very effective harbingers specifically targeting Obama’s policies, Black Americans in particular and minorities in general. Romney’s ads attack Obama’s plinths that were strong during the 2008 presidential campaign. However, Obama, in quite a few instances has conducted an about-face on some of his core campaign promises. For one, Obama has snuggled-up too close to the corporate world when he provided them with bailouts. And, he’s left Main Street America holding empty money bags filled with IOUs instead of bailing them out as well. Secondly, Obama also signed off on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which essentially gives the US military the authority to detain American citizens absent legal recourse. That’s quite an easy task to undertake because the United States have over 1,000 military bases across the globe.
The US is truly an Eagle Empire with a splash of Communism that’s too close for comfort.

This is why Obama’s original base of voters is not as enthused about him this upcoming election.

In sum, Obama’s overall spotty record during his four years in the White House has brought the chickens home to roost by his failures to implement real change. Furthermore, this is why Slave Master Romney does have an opportunity to win the presidency after all. Additionally, I’ll be far from gloating if such a triumph does take place, just like how I currently feel about Obama.

Just how many white turkeys will they get to vote for Christmas?? Surely, numerically there will be many more poor white victims of a Romney/Ryan ticket than all the others combined!
Wasn't Dr King onto this divide and rule claptrap by the end? Hoping to move forward with politics and activism for all the poor of the US?
There's an article about Ryanomics here, comparing it to the Brit politics in Ireland during the famine (quoting some of the days commentators on "white chimpanzees" even):
There's little difference between the elites of 165 years ago and their desire to vacuum up all the money around and leave the poor to die after and during exploiting them, and todays so called 1%. If it suits them, then simply existing while poor will be excuse enough to think of any and all of us as races apart from themselves.

Mitt Romney is in a bind.

[The white majority among voters has been shrinking during the past 40 years, just as the white majority has shrunk in the general population. The three-point drop since 2004, though, is so dramatic that a likely explanation isn't demographics at all but rather a greater disinclination than usual among white folks this year to vote. Turnout in 2008 was about what it was in 2004, and, according to the Center for the Study of the American Electorate, the reason it wasn't higher—as widely expected, given the keen interest in this election—was that fewer Republicans went to the polls. The percentage of Democrats who went to the polls increased 2.6 percentage points while the percentage of Republicans went down 1.3 percentage points. The greatest favor the white race did Obama this year may have been to stay home.] -- Timothy Noah 11/10/08

So objective number one for Romney is to get white Republican voters back to the polls and the "race card" is the most reliable way to do that.

Will that be enough? I contend that Obama won in 2008 because TPTB shocked the “undecided voters” on 9/15—collapse of Lehman Brothers, etc. Bush and Paulson blocked McCain’s access to the game plan and he made a complete fool of himself: “the fundamentals of our economy are still strong,” while Timothy Geithner guided Obama through the process.

So what do they have in store for the gullible electorate this fall? A “Gulf of Tonkin Incident” in the Persian Gulf? Who will use the “Shock Doctrine,” and how will they use it?

Have you read Blair L.M. Kelley's response to Tanehisi Coates's piece? http://profblmkelley.tumblr.com/. I usually enjoy Coates's work, but I had to agree with Kelley's critique that the Booker T Washington comparison doesn't really hold water once you start diving into the historical weeds. Full disclosure though, I came across the Kelley piece on my twitter feed before getting a chance to read the initial article.

rotflmbao@ the levels of effeminate hair-splitting and pearl-clutching about the Hon.Bro.Preznit's radically autonomous (NOT) blackness bona fides.

Endlessly suggestible, aspirational assimilationist kneegroes making some priceless.comedy.gold...,

Nah. This is some kayfabe stuff here. There being no hope offered by the Obamadmin this go round -an't fool US twice- all that's left for the puppet masters is to scare US into voting for Obama with the hideous prospect of a Romney presidency. Romney is playing his bad guy roll well. When he wasn't sufficiently frightening he teamed up with a partner even more frightening. He's trying as hard to lose as Gore did in 2000 against the previous chosen one.
