Benjamin Franklin said, "If you want to motivate a poor man out of poverty, then make it uncomfortable for him to be poor." obungle has missed the greatest moment in history, and it was handed to him on the proverbial silver platter... instead, obungle is practicing the worst kind of politics, plantation politics, what a tragic irony, the kind of politics that ensures that the poor will forever remain poor... plantation politics will seal their fate and make sure the poor remain poor all their lives and remain dependent on their plantation master, the federal government, for their basic needs... meanwhile, he had every opportunity to set an example to show that anyone can succeed at anything if only they pull themselves up and make a legitimate effort to achieve their American dream... 150 years ago Lincoln freed the slaves, today obungle is removing that freedom and sealing the bonds of slavery again of all blacks and minorities by strengthening their dependency on the plantation master, the federal government, for their basic needs with false hope and empty promises... a black man as President continues to keep blacks and all minorities enslaved with empty government promises... this is mind boggling, we're witnessing an American tragedy of mammoth proportions, here a black man as President continues to keep blacks and all minorities enslaved with false hope and empty government promises... what a tragedy...

Yep, if odumbo had been even half the man he was purported to be, he would NEVER have let the race card enter his vocabulary. Ditto his wife, who has been whining about it from the beginning -- declaring that the first time she ever felt "proud of her country" had to do with her "black" husband running for president. She's still at it as of yesterday when speaking to the NAACP. As I recall, BJClinton was the first to point out that odumbo played the race card. I'm no fan of the hillbilly whore-hopper, but now I almost miss him. LOL! .

one cannot say I will succeed or fail by virtue of skin color. Success has no color. It's true that it is unlikely that one could look at any one person and judge the potential for success based on skin color alone. However, when appraising groups, the potential for predicting success or failure is much easier. Race and ethnicity are very strongly correlated to intelligence. It has been proven that intelligence controls behavior, and behavior plays a very important role in outcomes. Those facts inescapable. Consider this: Let's assume there are three rooms. The first room has 100 Whites. The second room has 100 Blacks. The third room has 100 Mestizos/Hispanics. Assume we know absolutely nothing else about the occupants of the rooms beyond their races/ethnicities. If we were to hold a contest to select which room contains the largest percentage of successful people, I would pick the first room, but you would likely say that each room has an equal number of successful people. Consequently, it is highly probable that I would win the contest. Why? Because every official metric in existence clearly shows that intellectual equality is a fallacy.
