Maxine Waters has joined the chorus of those disenchanted with the Hope and Change malarkey advanced by Barack Obama.
As reported at the reference, Ms. Waters rebuked the president in a kinder, gentler manner:
Rep. Waters politely chastised President Obama for not including majority Black Communities on his, “jobs bus tour,” of the Mid-West recently. Water’s went on to publicly admit that she and her fellow Congressional Black Caucus(CBC) Members were/are tired of making excuses for the President within the Black Community, but then admitted that they don’t put pressure on the President because he is beloved in the same community and they don’t want either he or the community coming after them.
I say to Rep. Waters, “if those excuses actually sleep at night, then so be it,” but in reality, President Obama and his handlers know full well that he will receive over 90% of the Black Vote in 2012, no matter how bad things get for the community.
What is really upsetting to Rep. Waters is in reality that she and her fellow CBC members are feeling the heat from some even more Leftist activists within the Black Community, who are asking, “Where is the political payback for once again delivering over 90% of the Black Vote for Democrat Candidates in 2010 and why won’t this President take our calls, let alone be seen in public with us?
Another unpleasant reality that Rep. Waters has to deal with politically is that for the last 50 years people like her and other self-appointed Black Leaders have painted our community into a corner and even with a Black Man (bi-racial) in the White House they seem to get no respect from the powers within their own party. The CBC serves the dual purposes of being the racial attack dogs of the Democrat Party and giving the idea of Socialist Government color, yet when the party can’t deliver on all their political promises they seek to blame someone else and use race as the foil to get compliance on the other side. Remember this is the same CBC that actively worked with the media to portray the Tea Party as a movement of racist backwoods rednecks that long for the days when Black Americans swung from tress by the end of a rope, would delighted if slavery could be brought back tomorrow and finally just could not deal with a Black Man in the White House.”
Although she makes a good point in admitting that the president has failed the black community (and all of America, really), one is puzzled to understand just what remedial action Waters would have the president take.
How about tax cuts for those in business and in a position to add employees?
Oops! Sorry, Maxine, but cutting taxes is a major no-no in the liberal fairyland commonly known as the Democrat Party.
Well, how about a new stimulus package to pump a trillion or so into the Obama-laden economy?
Oops, again! America has just suffered a humiliating downgrade of our AAA credit because our leaders, led from behind by Obama, failed to slice enough from the nation’s debt. Spending more seems unlikely to help restore out AAA credit!
How about a major “charm” campaign by the president to woo reluctant investors into hiring?
Oops, thrice!
One of the major causes of the jobs crisis is Obama’s personal vendetta against private enterprise. His non-stop assault on American businesses with threats of regulation and higher taxes should be added to the long list of impeachable offenses committed by this clueless non-leader!
If not lower taxes, more spending, or making nice to business, then what?
Perhaps it is time for black leaders like Maxine Waters to unleash themselves from the manacle of progressive illogic long enough to pursue policies and people that can, and will if given the chance, improve the economic fortunes of all Americans, including people of color.
Its called conservatism, Maxine, and it provides the best opportunity for all Americans to prosper.
Try it—you might be surprised!
