2 Black 4 Barry
HAVE YOU NOTICED that Obama-cans are a special breed? They are still supporting Barack "Barry" Obama after four years of him compromising our futures away. These delusional zealots should have poured that rainbow kook-aid down the drain years ago! Guess they weren't paying attention!

The “rebels” in Misrata in Libya have driven out the entire Black population of the city.

We supported a vote for Obama in 2008 for both pragmatic and idea...

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
The Democratic Leadership Council, Bill Clinton and Al Gore’s 1980s scheme to diminish the growing influence of Black voters, has reached its ultimate success with Barack Obama, the second DLC president. To put it another way, “Obamaism is simply Clintonism ...
Having shown his hand over the last three years as an eager – although often spurned – partner in Republican austerity politics, and a war-maker who could make George Bush blush, President Obama will seek reelection with bankers’ money while pretending to remain “infuriated” with Wall Street. The banksters are in on the scam, since “nothing can match Obama’s crowning glory: the permanent ...
