CNN's Acosta to Romney: 'If You Somehow
Win,' How Would You 'Assure Blacks
You'd Be Their President Also?'

Newsbusters, by Noel Sheppard

Original Article

Posted By:ketchuplover, 9/26/2012 12:32:52 AM

CNN's Jim Acosta on Tuesday's Situation Room asked what many will think was a truly offensive question. "If you were to somehow beat the first African-American president, what would you say to the black community to assure them that you would be their president also?" (video follows with transcript and commentary): JIM ACOSTA, CNN: African-Americans have a tremendous sense of pride that there is the first African-American president in the White House. If you were to somehow beat the first African-American president, what would you say to the black community to assure them that you would be their president also?

Comments:
Do you think the President, who lauds the campaign group "Blacks for Obama", would get asked a such a question about whites?

Exactly, Poster! And if he did, Chrissy Matthews would scream like the girl he is!

Unlike our current POTUS, the President of the United States has historically been and should always be the President to all the country's citizens. Our current Resident is not and has proved it time and again when he only pays attention to those who agree with his ideology. Anyone else to him is persona non grata.

Blacks should be proud of the unemployment rate in the black community. Proud to have record numbers of single mothers, highest foodstamp participation ever, most blacks in prison than before the first black president.

Tell me again, what are the best three things Obama has done for the Black Community since he got into office?

The answer to that question should be: Are they American's? Then, I am their President. I am so sick of these gotcha questions, I am so sick of the race baiting. When I answer a question now about my race, I snswer HUMAN!

The question asked is so disgusting -- but it serves the purpose of showing Acosta's for the complete donkey he is.

No fool. I'm only for my people.
You look like you could be 'my son'. Or not.
I intend to have guys in berets at the polls, wielding nightsticks and screaming racial epithets. So watch out. Be one of 'my people' , my colour. Or just be a dapper dresser.

How was that for primetime, lamestream? /s/

Here is the trap they think they can catch Romney with.

"If you were to somehow beat the first African-American president, would you then chain him, like JoeBiteMe says? And, what would you say to the black community to assure them that you would not beat and chain them, also?"

The real worry is that Romney is promising to deliver opportunity. Many Americans of ALL ethnicities are desperate for opportunity. CNN is worried that this is taking votes away from 0, so they are setting out IEDs hoping to blow Romney out of the race with a big bang. RACE CARD!

The problem with using the RACE CARD, is that if it does not work, there is noting else let.

Obama is spending billions on black causes we just don't see. I mean HUD has gone from being in the rental business and into the home loan business with tons of bailouts to stop foreclosures.
Romney,if elected is going to have to grapple with the government intrusion into the home loan business.Fannie/Freddie are at least trying to clean up their act,to the chagrin of the left.

We're seeing tougher standards for average people who should qualify for a loan but are getting turned down.On the other side,we're seeing reformulations in credit scores for the underachievers in our life (and wallets).

This double standard in home loans has the goal of diversity in every neighborhood.

The black community in Kansas City has the highest crime rates, the worst education/graduation rates, the highest unemployment rates, the highest dependency on the federal welfare plantation, and the highest rates of illegitimate births. Obama has done nothing to change these facts. If Romney is elected, it will be without a single black vote and he will get nothing but contempt and hate from the black community. Romney owes the black community nothing. They have made their bed in the dependency camp. They are quite frankly part of the problem of this country in terms of the social problems and the entitlement spending leading us to the fiscal cliff. If the black community wants to be part of the solution, then they can join reform minded citizens who want to put an end to the Obama nonsense.

After all of the divisive race baiting from the Obamunists, I would expect that 95% of blacks would never accept Romney, and in fairness, I have to say I could never accept Obama after the way he has stoked hatred against european-americans throughout his lifetime. The fact that he stands by Eric Holder; his relationships with Rev. Wright, his father, Frank Davis, and throwing his grandmother under the bus as a "typical white person". Who knows how long the damage will last, thanks to all the people who voted for him because of his skin color.


Reply 11 - Posted by: jond, 9/26/2012 4:56:02 AM     (No. 8890586)

Despite the asinine question, Romney handled himself well.

Can't wait for Barak to flip him off in the debate.

Romney's answer should have been:

I would do everything within my power to get the black unemployment rate down from 16%. I would never treat blacks as bad as this current President has.

KC said it best and it is a plain and simple fact that "Romney owes the black community nothing. They have made their bed in the dependency camp." No need to purposely PO them but unless you are a RAT politician, there is nothing here for you.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Obama administration’s denial of asylum granted to the Romeike family, who fled Germany over its strict anti-homeschooling laws. In a press release Tuesday, Michael Farris, founder and chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), said, “We believe the Sixth Circuit is wrong and we will appeal their decision. America has room for this family and we will do everything we can to help them.” The Romeikes fled Germany in 2008 when they were subjected to criminal prosecution for homeschooling, which is largely illegal in their country.

   

 

  


 
Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped
tour guides so kids can cut lines

They are 1 percenters who are 100 percent despicable. Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World — by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned. The “black-market Disney guides” run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day. “My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.

The shadow of Watergate is looming larger over the growing IRS and Associated Press leaks scandals amid I-know-nothing denials from the president and his attorney general, with Republicans smelling blood in the water and a former Nixon official saying the Obama administration needs to avoid the impulse to cover up. (snip) “This is how these situations unravel. First it gets blamed on some low-level employee and then it tracks back to Washington,” said Keith Appell, a Republican strategist based in Washington, D.C. “All the way back to Watergate when it was blamed on some third-rate burglary.

The Internal Revenue Service scandal would be bad enough if the IRS just handled issues like collecting income taxes and granting nonprofit status. But the immensely powerful federal agency is about to become even more powerful with the arrival of national health care, and that makes the still-unfolding scandal even more troubling. (Snip) The IRS is critical to Obamacare. The structure created by the Affordable Care Act requires the government to know about both the health care coverage (or lack of it) and the financial resources of every American. The IRS, which already knows the latter, was the only

Victoria Toensing, Republican Counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, says her client, a State Department official now considered a whistle-blower in the investigation of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, has been "threatened" by Obama administration officials. According to Toensing, these threats weren´t related to ambiguous matters. Rather, they were "specifically about Benghazi." She says the threats went beyond the four State Department officials who´ve currently retained counsel. "People have been threatened at the CIA" as well, she claimed. (Snip) Toensing claimed the threats relate to ending the careers of those with information about the attacks who

Immigration bill grants amnesty to
employers of illegals; no prosecution
for bogus IDs

The debate is raging over whether the latest immigration bill is an amnesty for illegal immigrants, but one part is clear: The legislation would forgive businesses that have employed those immigrants illegally. Employers who have allowed illegal immigrants to work off the books can come forward safely and provide their work history without fear of prosecution, and businesses that knowingly employed someone using a bogus or stolen Social Security number likewise would get a pass, according to an analysis of the bill by the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that wants a crackdown on immigration.

Greeley, Colo.—Two billboards in which images of Native Americans are used to make a gun rights argument are causing a stir with some residents who say the image is offensive and insensitive. The billboards in this northern Colorado city show three men dressed in traditional Native American attire and the words "Turn in your arms. The government will take care of you." Matt Wells, an account executive with Lamar Advertising in Denver, said Monday a group of local residents purchased the space. "They have asked to remain anonymous," he said. He also refused to disclose the cost, but said the

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups.

The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
