A Clueless Obama Abandons Economic Growth

Jim Antle has nailed it. “One in six bundlers,” he tweets, “speaks louder than seven of ten African Americans.”
Indeed, the subtext of Obama’s “marriage” announcement today is that candidate Obama is more afraid of losing campaign money from gay donors (and from Hollywood in general) than he is concerned about a possible erosion of support amongst socially conservative black and Hispanic voters.
In fact, it just so happens that Obama has a fundraiser scheduled tomorrow with Hollywood lefties George Clooney, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Barbra Streisand. As the old church lady might say, “How convenient!”
In other words, Obama’s saying, Jerry Maguire-like, “Show me the money!” And apparently, he’s gonna get a lot of it: an estimated $15 million in cool, hard cash with which to bash the Republicans.

Not quite clear whether the Biden had a premature brain fart, but the ABC interview, along with that above mentioned, had the look and feel of a campaign commercial.

90% of MSM coverage of ObaMao can be categorized as 'campaign commercials'

Sorry but your analysis is a little off...it's more like...
"One in six bundlers" care what his position is on gay marriage....96 out of 100 blacks DON'T.
I understand the whole..."look black people...Barack doesn't care about you!!" logic of these kinds of articles....but really...do you think ol Barry will risk a half of one half of one half of one half of one half of one of half of one of half of a half of a percent of the black vote with this gay marriage issue???? NO. Absolutely not. Barack Obama could join the Klan or the Nazi party...and not lose a dimes worth of difference in the black vote.
Call me what you want, for seeing the fact...but it's just that.....FACT.
WL| 5.10.12 @ 12:17AM
It was a no brainer...and furthermore...
I also think the flip flop charge about Obama's newfound embrace of gay marriage is kinda weak too. Everybody knows he lies...and says what he needs too...
His voters, white, black, red, and every other color care about one thing only....a Government check. Barack delivers....Republicans pay....and they know it.
Audrey| 5.11.12 @ 9:53AM
When Obam says it..its not 'flip-flop' it has been renamed 'evolving'

Romney came out against gay marriage, but he says it's only his "preference" to be against it.
It's hard to believe that we're even talking about SSM when only a few years ago homosexuality itself was considered a perversion. Romney's tepid response to this issue is another reason he's a worthless candidate.
And AmSpec has people on its staff who are in favor of SSM. Perhaps a house-cleaning is in order.
Mike 3/505| 5.10.12 @ 9:27AM
Homosexuality is still considered a perversion...by anyone with half a brain or more.

Why should Conservatives believe any of Mitt's very recent "evolution" towards conservatism when he doubled down in defense of his Socialized RomneyCare and is the only GOPer to refuse to sign the Pro-Life Pledge? Like his Liberal Mass. disciple, Scott Brown, Mitt RomneyCare also supports upending over 200 years of effective UCMJ by forcing homosexuality upon our combat troops during a time of two wars, and against the will of troops, commanders, chaplains, veteran's groups, and the majority of conservatives. Besides their differences on taxing crony capitalism, and the 'R' and 'D' behind their names, there is little to differentiate between the two neo-Marxists...

Mitt Romney,
"States are able to make decisions with regard to domestic partnership benefits such as hospital visitation rights, benefits and so forth, of various kinds can be determined state by state, but my view is that marriage itself is a relationship between a man and a woman and that's my own preference," he said at the Oklahoma Republican Party headquarters in Oklahoma City. "This is a very tender and sensitive topic as are many social issues, but I have the same view that I've had since running for office."

This was the O’s position prior to running for Prez. He waffled on it till now, hoping for more ‘flexibility’ post election with a nudge,nudge,wink,wink to his progressive supporters. Thanks to Biden and the pressure to raise campaign funds he has come out of his own closet and admitted his true position on the issue. He has never truly changed or evolved to this position.
KJW| 5.10.12 @ 8:45AM
I don't know about anyone else, but to me, this is really scary. The day after North Carolina and Colorado (neither quite republican bastions) hand same-sex marriage significant defeats, Obama thumbs his nose at a huge segment of the population (including african-americans and hispanics) who disapprove of same and endorses same-sex marriage. He knows he's just alienated a bunch of people permanently, and he doesn't care.
If this man is reelected in 2012, only God Himself knows what the president may work to unleash in his next term...

I wonder how religious Blacks,Catholics and Muslims deal; with Obama's evolution ? Some may stay home--but some will say: I understand that Obama must lie to the American people at this moment. Just be patient he will have a reverse evolution over time. Guess who that is about ?
