My Fellow Blacks, Can I Criticize Dear Leader Now?

Posted on 13 November, 2013

Before committing the blasphemous and daring act of openly criticizing Dear Leader, it is obligatory that I first purify my spirit by reciting Dear Leader’s prayer.
That way, the Black community doesn’t condemn my soul for placing critical thinking over Black solidarity. It’s common knowledge that Blacks who criticize Dear Leader are considered “sell-outs” while Whites are labeled “racists.”

Even the Congressional Black Caucus knows that Dear Leader is untouchable. Congresswoman Maxine Waters once confessed to a Detroit crowd:

“We don’t put pressure on the president, 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 [in the White House] …First time in the history of the United States of America. If we go after the president too hard, you’re going after us.”

In short, Dear Leader could authorize drone strikes in the hood and Blacks would accept it without question.

Herman Cain, on the other hand, isn’t even allowed to deliver pizzas there without being questioned. Anyway, without further ado, in this manner I pray:

Our Father who art in the White House, hallowed be thy name. Thy Constitution-less Kingdom come, thy will be done, in America as it is in the hood. Give us this day, our daily handouts and forgive our criminality, although we won’t forgive the White man for criminalizing us. And lead us not into self-sufficiency, but deliver us from patriotism. For thine is the Constitution-less kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever and ever and ever.

Wow, after saying Dear Leader’s prayer, I now feel Blacker than ever, and I’m suddenly having second thoughts about criticizing him. Maybe I should just shut up and embrace today’s rationing of “Hope and Change.” Besides, Dear Leader has a strong disdain for dissenters.

In fact, according to the book Double Down: Game Change 2012:

“Obama had little patience for the ‘professional left,’ and vanishingly close to zero for what one of his senior African American aides, Michael Strautmanis, referred to as ‘professional blacks’ (as opposed to black professionals).”

The disobedient “professional blacks” need to throw themselves at Dear Leader’s feet and beg for mercy. As evidenced by the (more than) 90% Black turnout for him in 2008 and 2012, he’s our savior. Therefore, in 2016, we Blacks should focus on raising that ninety percent to one hundred percent. Can we do it? Of course! We simply need to invoke Dear Leader’s original campaign slogan, “Yes, we can!”

Granted, the Constitution limits presidents to two consecutive terms, however, that antiquated piece of tissue has yet to derail Dear Leader’s agenda. So, maybe again, “Yes we can!” Despite having his only begotten “if i had a son” martyred by America’s racism, Dear Leader still showed his socialistic love for the country by instituting his ‘Holy Grail,’ commonly known as Obamacare.

My gripe (and I use that term with humility) with Dear Leader is that his repeated assurance of “if you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance” has turned out to be an outright lie. Dear Leader and his disciples knew that the law would actually cause many to lose insurance. Black media sites such as Thegrio.com (MSNBC’s product) and Theroot.com (Washington Post’s product), are amongst his many liberal scribes that are characteristically downplaying the lie. Essentially, they’re arguing that a few eggs had to be cracked to make the Obamacare omelet.

The protectionism isn’t surprising since their primary duty is to hide the fact that Dear Leader has no clothes.

Even so, outside of the palace walls, his subjects weren’t granted Obamacare waivers like his cronies. As a result, millions of cracked eggs are appearing in real time and very few omelets. Realizing that the natives were becoming restless, Dear Leader decided to implement damage control. He reached out to those millions who were abandoned by their insurers and simply declared, “I am sorry.” Although his disingenuous apology seemed to satisfy Black media, it adversely affected me. Noticeably, he didn’t apologize to the families (such as mine) whose insurance premiums increased by several hundred percent, even though his website stated that a typical family would save up to $2,500 annually. Adding insult to injury, my family, like many others, doesn’t qualify for any ‘gap closing’ subsidy.

Apparently, being the working poor isn’t poor enough to garner sympathy from Dear Leader. In 2008, Dear Leader’s website stated:

“For those who have insurance now, nothing will change under the Obama plan – except that you will pay less. Obama’s plan will save a typical family up to $2,500 on premiums by bringing the health care system into the 21st century: cutting waste, improving technology, expanding coverage to all Americans, and paying for some high-cost cases.”

Will my creditors understand that my non-payment is due to my bloated insurance premium? Would an “I am sorry” gesture to them suffice?

No, it wouldn’t!

That is why Dear Leader can keep his apology — especially since I couldn’t keep my insurance premium and others their basic insurance.

Nevertheless, while Dear Leader is apologizing, please apologize for weaponizing the IRS, the Benghazi failure, Fast and Furious, and the other scandals. Oh wait, I think that I’ve said too much. I had better recite Dear Leader’s prayer again.

Goodwin: NYT’s Constant Pandering To Obama Harming The Nation

By Robert Gehl on November 10, 2013

In an excellent piece today in the New York Post, columnist Michael Goodwin argues that The New York Times’ propaganda for the Obama Administration is doing undue harm to the country.

By ignoring or downplaying scandals or serving as its defacto press agent, the Times is giving credence to even the most blatant lies and deception by President Barack Obama.

Here is the full text of his column:

Poor Barack Obama. Ending his fifth year as the world’s most powerful man, he is running out of scapegoats and fairy tales. Blaming George W. Bush has lost its punch, and the ObamaCare debacle is shredding the myths he is competent and honest.

Still, before he rides off into that sunset of self-pity and low poll ratings, he ought to invite his remaining friends over for a heart-to-heart. That way he can tell The New York Times that its fanatical support does him no favors.

Instead, it feeds his arrogance and reinforces his belief that he can solve any problem with another speech. The unflattering truth doesn’t stand a chance — until it is too late.

Not that the president would admit any of that, of course, but the Obama Protection Racket, led by the Times, cuts both ways. It is a key reason he has defied political gravity for so long, and also why he is now in deep trouble. As watchdogs became lapdogs, the presidential bubble grew impenetrable, isolating him from ordinary Americans and the trickle-down pain of his policies.

From the broadcast networks to MSNBC and most large papers, Obama got the benefit of every doubt. The double standards were a daily disgrace so routine, they mostly provoked a shrug instead of outrage.

The ObamaCare debacle is the exception that proves the rule. Wall-to-wall complaints are forcing the media to report that the law’s Web site is a lemon and that its rules are causing millions of people to lose insurance plans they liked.

The mainstream media is acting only because the story is too big to ignore. Had it been mildly skeptical sooner, it could have exposed the law’s destructive rules and prevented the disaster.

Yet the Times, especially its editorial page, remains his most devoted cheerleader. The latest example is embarrassing enough to make a Gray Lady blush.

After the president’s repeated promise that “If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it” was proven false, the editorial page tried to clean up his mess. On Nov. 2, it charged that Republicans were stoking “consumer fears and confusion” by highlighting reports of people losing insurance.

Then came the coverup: “Mr. Obama clearly misspoke” when he made those promises, the editorial said, before dismissing the problems as an “overblown controversy.”

The “misspoke” defense set off a firestorm, and even the paper’s gentle public editor suggested it was too kind. Naturally, the editors defended their decision not to accuse the president of an outright lie.

Yet even Obama concluded he had to apologize. His recognition of the uproar will result in changes, if only because Senate Democrats are running for their lives.

The episode graphically illustrates how the Times has harmed the nation by reflexively protecting Obama, facts be damned.

Instead of just expressing its own liberal views, the editorial page serves as the propaganda arm of the administration, the Jay Carney of print media. Its daily drumbeat of shrill partisanship leaves it indistinguishable from Dem party hacks who spend their waking hours demonizing Republicans.

The ritual is distressingly clear. Any White House claim that a critic is “political” sends the Times to war. The news pages play along by treating Obama’s every utterance as sacred, thus crowding out the facts that don’t fit his agenda.

This power to shape the narrative is not limited to its own pages. The newspaper’s brand still commands sufficient cachet that stories it downplays — such as the Benghazi terror attack or IRS targeting of conservative groups — quickly disappear from other media as well. And that lets the president off the hook and keeps much of the public in the dark.

At least that was the pattern until now. ObamaCare is such a direct hit on so many people that it could change everything.

If predictions are accurate that tens of millions of families will lose their current insurance policies, Obama and the Democratic lemmings will be seriously damaged.

The lapdogs and cheerleaders won’t get off easy, either. Not when their crime was covering up his.

	You know, a lot of people that denigrate the Tea Party have no idea what the Tea Party even stands for and the majority of those are low information liberals who wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face. I love Wild Bill because he can really lay it on the line and he paints great word pictures.

	50 Insurance Policies Cancelled to Every 1 Obamacare Enrollee! Almost 5 million individually purchased insurance plans have been cancelled since the disastrous Obamacare rollout. Compare that to only about 100 thousand Obamacare enrollees in the same length of time! Avik Roy at Forbes writes: Many more cancellation notices are imminent. But yesterday the Wall Street Journal obtained information regarding the number of people who have signed up for new private health coverage under Obamacare: 40,000 to 50,000 for the federal exchange, and 49,000 for the 12 of 14 state-based exchanges. Last month the Associated Press published details of an internal Obama administration memo, dated September 5, detailing the White House’s monthly targets as to how many people would sign up for private insurance under Obamacare exchanges. Through October, the administration estimated 494,620 would sign up. They only got about a fifth of the way toward that lowball estimate. With one signature via his pen, Obama has managed to not lower the levels of the oceans, but rather the levels of the insured in America. Breitbart’s John Nolte notes: …somewhere around a 50-to-1 ratio of cancellations to enrollees. The question now is, will that gap ever close? Because if it doesn’t, at the end of the year, when those 5 million canceled plans expire, we are going to be living in a country where ObamaCare has actually increased the number of America’s uninsured. The faulty website is not the Administration’s only problem with the millions who have had their plans cancelled. Eventually, the website will be fixed and those who want ObamaCare will be able to get it. But how many of those 5 million will choose not to re-enroll, out of disgust and a sense of betrayal? How many won’t be able to afford the Affordable Care Act after realizing sticker shock from the jump in the cost of premiums and deductibles? Obama is no messiah, but rather a prophet or doom and Lyin’ King nonpareil. And of course, we must never forget that Obama, who learned his Rules for Radicals well, has always wanted a single payer system: Obamacare was just the red carpet leading to his Socialist health care utopia. Too bad Obama hasn’t read the Bible, for the only place all tears are wiped away is heaven. The President has instead turned America into a place of wailing and gnashing of teeth. .
