Why are Congressional Black Caucus Wrong

Recently,  Two members of the Congressional Black Congress spoke out Rep. Maxine Waters(D-CA) Went on a Rant against President Obama  at a job fair in Detroit. From The Washington Examiner:

Rep. Maxine Waters said, members of the CBC are becoming increasingly tired and frustrated by Obama’s performance on the issue of jobs. Even as she expressed support for the president, Waters virtually invited the crowd to “unleash us” to pressure Obama for action.

“We don’t put pressure on the president,” Waters told the audience at Wayne County Community College.  “Let me tell you why. We don’t put pressure on the president because ya’ll love the president. You love the president. You’re very proud to have a black man — first time in the history of the United States of America. If we go after the president too hard, you’re going after us.”

With African-American Unemployment over 16%  Water express her frustration about the president:

  “The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president too,” Waters said.  “We’re supportive of the president, but we’re getting tired, y’all.  We’re getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he’s prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is. We don’t know why on this trip that he’s in the United States now, he’s not in any black community.  We don’t know that.”

A few Days later in Inglewood,CA  in her congressional district Waters went after the Tea Party. From the Daily Caller:

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.”

A Day later Rep. Frederica Wilson(D-FL) went off at the Tea Party. Wilson  blames racism for the high unemployment. From Real Clear Politics:

“When you look at African American males, 40% of them are unemployed, those under 30 years of age. I understand exactly the entire nation must be involved in this recovery but the black community is experiencing a great recession. That’s what we’re experiencing,” Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) told MSNBC.

“And all of the growth in the past 30 years, we see it slipping away. From home ownership, the middle class; it’s slipping away from our hands. And it has a lot to do with many issues. Racism, shipping jobs overseas, access — no access to technology. You know, the digital divide is there and many of the new jobs that’s what it requires. So, we have a problem.”

As a black man, It’s real easy to blame White Folks.  For the last  30 years our community blamed  racism starting with former President Ronald Reagan complaining about “Welfare Queens.” Some complain about government surplus cheese  and food  that was given out. I understand.

For Years, Black politicians get millions of dollars  to  improve the lives of its constitutes but it lead some on on welfare for generation. They get fund for job training programs but more often than  the program is either  limited in scope or size.

We as a people put race ahead of common sense. Today the Congressional Black Caucus  said that They would march on the White House  if the President was White. From The Hill:

Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).

“If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday. “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”

The CBC which is representing the black community  in Congress put racial pride over truth.  This is disgraceful . It like was watching  a ship sinking . Everyone is getting into the lifeboats except us. The black community  is staying with President basically the captain going down with ship. Because he’s ours. We have to accept mediocrity from our leaders. That’s Bullshit!!!! Years ago the community would not stand by this.  Now the black community is the hardest hit group in America; high unemployment in all categories. More Americans on Welfare than any time since 1993. From CNN Money.Com via Yahoo Finance:

Amid a still struggling economy, more people in America fell below the poverty line last year, according to new census data released Tuesday.

The nation’s poverty rate rose to 15.1% in 2010, its highest level since 1993. In 2009, 14.3% of people in America were living in poverty.

“The results are not surprising given the economy,” said Paul Osterman, author of “Good Jobs America,” and a labor economist at MIT. “You would expect with so many people unemployed, the poverty rate would go up. It’s just another sign of what a difficult time this is for so many people.”

About 46.2 million people are now considered in poverty, 2.6 million more than last year.

The government defines the poverty line as income of $22,314 a year for a family of four and $11,139 for an individual. The Office of Management and Budget updates the poverty line each year to account for inflation.

Middle-class wealth falls: For middle-class families, income fell in 2010. The median household income was $49,445, down slightly from $49,777 the year before.

The President wrote a check his ass can’t cash. We in the black community was looking to the Obama if he was Jesus. The bible said, “You shall no other god before me.” Were paying a price for this.  His policies have failed. The man is Socialist the CBC is overwhelmingly  Communist. Obama leveling of the playing field has hurt Black the most.

WAKE UP Black America if we continue  on this path we’ll we will be the laughing-stock of the country . You can’t keep on blaming former President George W. Bush  for Obama failures.  When President  was a   lawyer for ACORN  the corrupted Social justice group  sued banks in mid 1990′s in Chicago the Country would not be in this  mess. Trying to end red lining  to blacks turned out be used a vehicle to demand  more people in homes they could not afford. It was noble but unrealistic! The minority communities  are the losers.

We.want. better!

Same Old Song Third Verse: $450 Billion Spending Schemess

America’s Greatest inventor Albert Einstein once said,”The definition of insanity doing something over and over and expecting  a different result.” That’s President Obama is offering in his latest scheme called “The American Job Act” The president address the nation recently at a speech addressing workers at Ft. Hayes Arts and Academic  High School in Columbus, OH. From AP via Yahoo News:

Imploring Congress to follow his lead, President Barack Obama on Tuesday lobbied lawmakers to adopt his nearly $450 billion jobs plan, promising it would help workers in the construction industry and rebuild schools in crumbling condition. Said Obama: “My question to Congress is, what on earth are we waiting for?”

From a high school in the critical electoral state of Ohio, Obama delivered a fiery speech to plug his plan. The outdoor audience was receptive to the point of adopting his refrain and chanting it back to him, shouting: “Pass this bill!”

The event had the feel of an Obama re-election event, right down to the music that played as Obama came out to speak, suit coat off and sleeves rolled up on a sunny day. He tailored his latest pitch to how his proposed legislation would help education, built around a $25 billion spending initiative for school renovations.

In Ohio alone, Obama said, the bill would create jobs for tens of thousands of constructions workers.

Yet Republican lawmakers who control the House flatly oppose his plans to pay for his plan by raising taxes on wealthier Americans.

In trying to win over the voting public and build pressure on Congress, Obama has made his pitch in Virginia, the home state of House Republican Leader Eric Cantor, and Ohio, home of House Speaker John Boehner. He will travel on Wednesday to North Carolina.

Republicans on Capitol Hill say the president is merely repackaging ideas they have already rejected. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Obama was essentially daring Republicans to vote against his ideas again. “I think most people see through all this,” McConnell said.

Illinois Loses More Jobs in 2011 Than Any other State

Illinois  lost more jobs for the first seven month of the than any other state. According to a report by the Illinois Policy Institute found based on US Bureau of Labor Statics in July Illinois 24,900 lost.  Since January the Land of Lincoln has lost 89,000.  The unemployment rate rose to 9.5%.

January 2011, Illinois passed the largest tax increase in state history. When Governor Pat Quinn signed the legislation  employers begged the Governor not to sign the bill for fears of job losses. Quinn sign the bill into law. Since then jobs have left the state.

Meanwhile Illinois neighbors Indiana, Ohio Wisconsin and Minnesota either cut taxes or no increase revenue.

What that means while it is not conclusive. The reports shows when taxes are  raised jobs are lost.

Will Springfield and other state capitols including Sacramento, Boston  and Annapolis will learn raising taxes has consequences.

Rock n Roll: East Coast 5.8 Magnitude Earthquake

What a day folks. The eastern seaboard of the US shaken on Tuesday afternoon when a 5.8 magnitude temblor shook as the workday was coming an end. The quake struck after 3 P.M.  on a fault in Mineral, Louisa County ,VA about 90 miles southwest of Washington, DC. and 50 miles northwest of Richmond,VA.

The quake felt from Atlanta, GA in the South, to Montreal,QC North; Chicago out west. Buildings in cities on East Coast were evacuated spreading  panic in the streets. Centuries old Brick building  facades collapsed .

Nuclear Power plants up and down the coast shut down very briefly including the North Anna Power Plant nearby. President Obama was notified of the quake while hitting the links on Martha’s Vineyard. Obama family spending a ten-day vacation.

For people working at the Pentagon and New York City shades of September 11 Terror Attacks from ten years ago. From A.P. via Yahoo  News:

The earthquake came less than three weeks before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and in both Washington and New York it immediately triggered fears of something more sinister than a natural disaster.

At the Pentagon, a low rumbling built until the building itself was shaking, and people ran into the corridors of the complex. The shaking continued there, to shouts of “Evacuate! Evacuate!”

The Park Service closed all monuments and memorials on the National Mall, and ceiling tiles fell at Reagan National Airport outside Washington. All flights there were put on hold.

In lower Manhattan, the 26-story federal courthouse, blocks from ground zero of the Sept. 11 attacks, began swaying, and hundreds of people streamed out of the building.

The New York police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, was in a meeting with top deputies planning security for the upcoming anniversary when the shaking started. Workers in the Empire State Building spilled into the streets, some having descended dozens of flights of stairs.

 ”I thought we’d been hit by an airplane,” said one worker, Marty Wiesner.

Another, Adrian Ollivierre, an accountant, was in his office on the 60th floor when the quake struck: “I thought I was having maybe a heart attack, and I saw everybody running. I think what it is, is the paranoia that happens from 9/11, and that’s why I’m still out here — because, I’m sorry, I’m not playing with my life.”

Another Bad Week For President Obama Unemployment Numbers Increased Over 400,000 Last Week His job Approval Fall And The Number who support His an economic agenda at 26%

Boy, after this week Obama definitely need to get away. Unemployment numbers rise over 400,0000 for the first time in two weeks. His Job Approval has fallen to 39% for the first time this year. Only 26%  approve  his handling  of the economy.  This comes as the economy outlook look bad JP Morgan Chase  says. From James Pethokoukis Reuters Syndication:

On Wednesday, Economic Forecaster-in-Chief Barack Obama said, “I don’t think we’re in danger of another recession.” Shades of John McCain’s “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.”

On Thursday, the stock market – freaked out by Europe’s spiraling debt crisis and a shockingly weak Philadelphia Fed manufacturing report – plunged 4.5 percent. In an unintentional rejoinder to Obama, investment bank Morgan Stanley opined that the United States was “dangerously close” to falling back into recession.

And it may be about to get a whole lot worse for the Obama 2012 campaign. The White House’s worst-case scenario for the economy on Election Day next year has become Wall Street’s baseline scenario. After looking at a string of weak economic reports and Europe’s growing fear of debt meltdown and contagion, JPMorgan – led by Obama pal Jamie Dimon – has just come out with a politically poisonous forecast.

The megabank now thinks the economy won’t grow much faster over the next 12 months than it did during the first half of this year — and that’s assuming Europe doesn’t go all pear shaped. It sees GDP growth at just 1.5 percent this year, 1.3 percent next year with unemployment at … 9.5 percent heading into the final days of the election season. “The risks of recession are clearly elevated,” the bank said. Here’s its reasoning:

Consumer sentiment has tumbled and household wealth has deteriorated. Survey measures of capital spending intentions have moved lower and the housing market shows little sign of lifting. Small businesses, retailers, builders and manufacturers all report a weaker business environment. Global growth has disappointed and foreign growth forecasts have been taken lower. In response we are lowering our projection for growth, particularly in the quarters around the turn of the year.

The President’s poll numbers continue to slide from Gallup,Inc:

Gallup latest Presidential Poll

A new low of 26% of Americans approve of President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy, down 11 percentage points since Gallup last measured it in mid-May and well below his previous low of 35% in November 2010.

Obama earns similarly low approval for his handling of the federal budget deficit (24%) and creating jobs (29%).

The president fares relatively better on foreign policy matters, with 53% of Americans approving of his handling of terrorism and roughly 4 in 10 approving on foreign affairs and the situation in Afghanistan. Also, 41% approve of Obama on education.

If I was him I either call back Congress in session or  go on a low level vacation  with the family. (not Martha’s Vineyard.)

US to Changing Immigration Policy

Thursday, As President Obama and Family head to Martha’s Vineyard,MA. The  Homeland Security Department will stop deportment of illegals in the US by a case by case basis. The new policy will focus on criminals ( ironic because being illegal in US is a federal law). From Breitbart:

The Obama administration said Thursday it would postpone the deportation of illegal immigrants without criminal records and allow them to apply for work permitsas it reviews over 300,000 cases.

The case review would only affect those undocumented immigrants already in line for deportation proceedings, and not the vast majority of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

The move comes amid criticism from rights activists of President Barack Obama’s administration for deporting a record number of illegal immigrants and failing to get Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
