i wish this wasn't a "gaff." i wish this was how he truly spoke to the american people.
Obama caught on audio slamming GOP
Yesterday, President Obama delivered some of his harshest criticism yet of his recent battle with Republicans to fund the government.
However, Obama may not have intended for everybody to hear him.
While listening to an audio feed from a Chicago fundraiser Thursday night, CBS News reporter Mark Knoller heard Obama speaking with donors after other
reporters had left the room. That's when the president really opened up about his disdain for the recent GOP pushback:
"I said, 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate. But you're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the
budget. You think we're stupid?'" the president said.
Obama also complained about GOP attempts to attach a bill to the resolution to fund the government that would defund women's health services provider
Planned Parenthood.
"Put it in a separate bill," the president said he told House Speaker John Boehner and his staff, CBS reported. "We'll call it up. And if you think
you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through."
The president also made clear he is no fan of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the GOP's Budget Committee chairman.
"When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure... he's just being America's accountant and trying to be responsible-- this is the same guy that
voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as
my health care bill--but wasn't paid for," Obama said.

how good would it be to have an angry black man in the white house...
I was thinking about this just yesterday, where have all the black leaders gone?
even Jesse Jackson has left the scene...
where is the next Malcolm or MLK
and what do they think of the state of the black community, (or lack of community)

 I'm no Democrat, but fuck the GOP. It's straight up the party of pure
evil. I know good people who are Republican, but I think they're just not very smart, because they're almost always poor rural people. I can't think
of one positive thing they've really done in a very, very long time, besides maybe a few issues involving gun rights, which I am all for. Can any of
you think of anything good they've done? They just seem to oppose any & every positive change

Seriously.
Put a Malcolm X, post Hajj, in office and you'd have a whole different kind of ball game. I'd like to think shit would get done. Reality is, he'd
probably have gotten capped.

I suggest you read about Malcolm X. Most folks don't really know shit about him except the media hype before he left the Nation of Islam and went to
Mecca for the Hajj. He came back a very changed man. No less radical for justice for his people, but he completely turned away from that "white devil"
claptrap that Elijah Muhammad taught.

Hey Dave, have you heard about Manning Marable's new bio of Malcolm X? It's supposed to present a lot of new information.
As for the Obama quote, it's not even that extreme. I don't see why he can't just say that openly. It's not like when thishappened in the Senate:
| Quote: |
Cheney finally telling Leahy to "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself," the aides said.

I've heard about that new bio, haven't gotten it yet. That professor, right up until his recent passing, was leading the charge for re-opening the
investigation into Malcolm's assassination.

I don't think Malcolm X would have been a good choice specifically because of his past. He did indeed change after coming back from Mecca, and I
would love to have seen what could he could have brought about. The problem would have been all of the political people (aka white devils) blocking
anything and everything he would want to do specifically because of his past of been outspoken against them.
Just for clarification, the white devil crack was just fer shits and giggles, I just really enjoy saying white devils. Always have for some reason.
In all seriousness, white America would never have allowed a black man to have any type of power. The only person who might have stood a chance back
then was MLK, hence why he was assassinated. Had to keep the status quo.

Well, I wasn't saying Malcolm X in particular for President... I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have run for that office ever just on principle alone. The
system is now nearly identical to what it was in his day. It'd have to be changed pretty radically for a guy like that to even consider trying to
change things from within.
My suggestion is it would have been better to see a strong man with similar principles and fire in the White House and giving Congress, both Dem and
Repub, what for.

Who knows. To even get to that level of politics you have to make so many compromises that such a person would no longer be the guy we're looking for
once he gets in the Oval Office. These guys become so beholden to corporate donors and lobbyists that they couldn't possibly ever fight for the common
people.
