No amount of racial pandering ever fed a hungry child.

LGBT Americans for Obama

People of Faith for Obama

Women for Obama

Young Americans for Obama

Yeah, it is something new; he formed the group.
It's nothing new for groups of like minded people
to come together to support a candidate, but
it is something very new for a sitting President
so obviously pandering to racial politics.

When the CBC and others went to him and said "hey, unemployment is 2x higher in the black community than the national average" he told them to, basically, get out of here...I'm not going to create a program specifically for blacks. But, he created a program to help vets AND THEIR SPOUSES get jobs. Vets I can understand, but their spouses???

Doesn't make a difference to me, I'm done voting. 2008 elections, the electoral process and our impotent government system has already proved my point. I was just voting due to the duress of being labeled ignorant. I'm now realizing it's ignorant to participate in a voting process where every vote does not count, government does what they want to do anyway, trickle-down economics rules in the end (bailouts), and politicians place celebrities over true heroes (teachers, civil servants, etc.) continuously.

I think Satan could do a better job than these jagaloons.
A VERY WELL thought out response!

Problem is .. We are BOTH 'Uncle Toms'!
(or in my case .. an oreo cookie! )
(Actually, I am a Mulatto like Obama except .. I'm the Good Looking Mulatto! )

(Maybe he can get 95% of the black vote instead of 94%)

The Tea Party is made up of American citizens from all walks of life, all ethnic backgrounds, and they believe in American and want to support America. The Tea Party is not against Obama exclusively, they are against anyone, any politician, democrat or republican, who are anti American and who want to change America, and who want to hurt America.
Why wasn't anyone calling Hillary sexist when she was trying to get the attention of women? She was doing the same thing Obama is doing with his race.

North Carolina Women for Hillary Clinton

Why was no one calling out sexist?

How is this any different? Do people just have a problem with Obama doing it?

Will any liberals on this forum come forth to deny this? Or can we expect your silence to be a concurrence with this assertion?
'up in arms' doesn't even begin to describe it.

they'd be shrieking 'RACISM!!!' loud enough to break glass as far away as buenos aires.

I'm guessing that the Conservatives were!
I don't know because I haven't researched it.

Saying that .. Where does one make the other right?

Point Proven.

Liberal silence on the above assertion is clear evidence that they willingly engage in hypocrisy and support racial pandering in politics....but only if its a liberal being the Hypocritical Panderer.
