Don´t feel too bad, Mr. Alford: he fooled a lot of people - black and white. The point is what we do about it now.

I suspect Alford was always a fool. It just took Obama to fully demonstrate it. At least he has seen the light. Unfortunately, he may be the only one.

Alford is a RACIST.

What happened to ´judge a person by their character´? Alford is obviously a graduate of our schooling system. He unfamiliar with Martin Luther King.

My heart aches for the USA.

If he voted for Obama because he was black then he was a (racist) fool without Obama´s help.

OTOH, this is the probably the only type of testifying that will reach the 3% of accessible idiots in the US that swing elections.

I have swung both ways on these useful idiots. I respect the courage to public admit one´s error. But its a little stinkin late now, dum dum. Thanks for thinking that skin color was more important than character, philosophy, honesty, theology - not counting experience. You had better shout this from the mountaintop - because we have nearly four more years with Obama as president! Thanks for nothing.

Harry? Figure out how to learn faster.

"Hey Diogenes! Over here..." Too much! What a great way to start the day.

I thank my old Latin teacher for what she called the "benefits of a Classical education". Zero probably imagines Diogenes plays point guard for the Athens Philosophers.

Oh, goody. One of Barry-O´s racist Afro-tools has a Sherlock Holmes moment.

As Dr. Watson would have said to the befuddled Mr. Alford, "No s#!+, Sherlock."

They wanted a black President and anyone would do. How hard can the job be? I think they know now. It will take generations to dial back the damage this one man has done to our country. Alford can explain this to his grandchildren.

10´s first sentence puts it all in a nutshell.

I get a kick out of the brothers saying they voted black as a qualifying trait for any seat. There are black goofs too just as in any racial group. Now he´s surprised the bro might not be qualified, but he probably still voted for him.

Who is Alford kidding? He would vote for Obama again.

Skin color is never a good criteria for voting for or against any candidate. It´s racist to begin with. Look how that turned out with Obama. The Democrat Party played millions of voters for chumps.

“Oh, he’s got some plans he won’t dare discuss. He wants to take it some place where we’ve never been before, and it’s some place where we shouldn’t go. He is scary,” Alford answered...To make America not as great as it once was,” Alford responded. “That all countries should be equal, and everyone should get along, and stop thinking that European socialists is a bad system. We should be like them. We should be like France, as it’s approaching a 75% rate for taxation for wealthy. It’s crazy.”

Yes, it is "crazy". People have been saying that O is not quite right in the head since they first found out about him. With each passing month and interminable year, we discover we are right. Crazy may be the perfect word because it sure isn´t simply a matter of inexperience. Look at his advisors, the people who surround him -- they are all Marxist radicals or like Carney, dupes.

Mitt Romney looks awfully good about now. Glad some black Americans are coming out from under their blinders.

NOW he says it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where the Devil was he when it counted? And as far as voting for a President simply because he is Black, what an absolutely horrendous admission!!!!! But, obviously, a truthful one....I only wish all those white liberals, Chris Matthews and Brian Williams included, would admit they voted for a totally inexperienced man with virtually no qualifications and some really shady friends simply because it made THEM feel good about THEMSELVES!!!!!

98 % voted for him because he was half black look at the black caucas none of them could be trusted to watch your pet for the weekend god save us we are so screwd

Whatever else you say about Obama, you have to admit he has way cool pigment.

A man who organizes his life around color can´t be too smart. He´s not a business man he is a black business man. He can´t run a chamber of commerce it has to be a black chamber of commerce. It only stands to reason he would vote for a president based on his skin color.

sooooooooooo harry you really didnt pay much attention to obozo´s behavior did you.....thought you were special...lollol....he only wanted your vote...if he would insult a sup court andte a cngressman and sit him on the front row and then publically dis him...what makes you think yorue any different...skin color only matters to him as a vote he can count on...THE JOKE IS ON YOU..and now it is the rest of the country paying for your ignorance.............

Ifanother black runs for any office he and other blacks will do the same thing,i.e. vote because he she is black.

The National BLACK Chamber of Commerce promotes special set-asides and special privileges for blacks at the expense of other Americans. If Mr. Alford, the advocate for special advantages for blacks, is complaining now, it is just because Obama has not provided enough special treatment for black businesses to suit him, just a bunch of Obamaphones for the lofos. Where are the tax credits just for being black? Where are the reparations? I guess Mr. Alford couldn´t bring himself to lie about being a farmer to feed at the Pigford trough.

My suspicion is that the reason he opposes socialism has less to do with a real commitment to capitalism and more to do with a fear that his black privilege might disappear into the great collective. When Mr. Alford leaves the BLACK Chamber of Commerce and joins the real Chamber of Commerce, I will take him and his complaints more seriously.

Most black folks were so proud to elect the first "black" (sic) President. Even though he´s lied and pandered to them time and time again, they remain proud. If they only knew... It looks like Mr. Alford has seen the light but, sadly, too late.

Mr. A. probably didn´t get any attention from the black brother, felt he was owed something, didn´t get it. Now, he only has a whine at his disposal.
Harry my boy, who cares about your pain, look what thou hath wrought. Obviously your thought process was just skin deep.

Does Rhodesia ring a bell? They were "proud" to finally get a black president too, heh, heh, heh.

Pull a Reverse-Alinski on Obama: Mock him as the traitorous fool he is...and begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy.

Something to remember here folks. This guy at least has the guts to admit he was wrong. Where are the same statements for Condi Rice and Colin Powell? They have in the past pretty much intimated they voted for Obama because of his color.

It takes guts in this society to admit to a mistake. Isn´t that what we are about here, taking ownership and responsibility for actions?

# 22 brings up a good point about the Natl Black Chamber of Commerce with their special set asides, etc. I would like just one conservative radio/talk show host/ess to ask one of these black voters (I now regret my vote for Obama) why they are really upset? Is it because Obama has not done enough for you and your group because of skin color? That he is treating you and your group no better than the (white) nat´l Chamber of Commerce? Just what is your motive for complaining about him now?

Does the name Robert Mugabe ring a bell? Locusts in Egypt. Do you think the Lord has a message for all of us?

Harry C. Alford should be praised for the courage it took for a black leader to stand up and say he was wrong about Obama and now realizes that he made a mistake. He will assuredly be criticized by the black community and the left. My hat is off to him. My only criticism is that he and others like him did not stand up and speak before the election. We are now stuck with the "Petulant Child in Chief" for four more years.

"explicitly voted for Obama because he is black..."

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” -- Martin Luther King Jr

Harry´s been a race hustler for years but was a HERO ON THS SITE in 2009 when he attacked Barbara Boxer as a racist for questions she asked during a congressional hearing...Republicans seldom do their homework, just go with the Flava of the moment who sounds good...or they attack the one´s who have been consistently Republican like #27´s slur on Condi...

Zippy has most of the black folks fooled. They voted for him because he is black, not because of any qualifications that he had because he had none. He is a disbarred lawyer, that´s all. What does a community organizer do anyway. Not much.

Whatever your motivations were, Harry, I´d suggest retaining a food taster from here on in.

...but will still back him, if he runs for a 4th term.

Gee who´da thunk it. Got news for you Harry "your" President made fools out of millions.
Simple test for idiocy, did you vote Obama?
Yes,,,idiot
No,, not an idiot.

Sounds like this man would not have given Obama a standing O at the SOTU.

I wonder what Bill Cosby would have to say.

We have had presidents for whom the public had far lesser expectations than it had for Obama. These presidents surprised all by rising to the task(s).

I think that many white and some black voters expected Obama to rise to the office. Most voters do not investigate the background of a candidate as well as Ldotters do, making up their minds at the polls.

They were sorely disappointed and just now are realizing how badly.

Too Much Pain from the 1st Black President.

Working Poor and Blacks have seen incomes plummet. Now the ´GREAT SCALE BACK´ is coming - where employers scale back low skilled fulltime workers to parttime.

Color aside, obama´s obvious insanity has been diagnosed by several professionals. Where is Congress on the impeachment proceedings for his demonstrated non-fitness to hold this office?

If Congress does not soon act, we will have to borrow a tactic from the psycho himself and go around Congess to do what needs to be done if we want to save this country. If you think we are on the edge now, just wait until the full madness of obamacare kicks in. A fragile economy will break like a dry twig.

A Conservative Black would not have had a chance, and would have been subjected to the same brutal treatment which all Conservatives suffer.

So, ideology played a big role, the media sychophancy made promulgation a piece of cake.

BUT, there was a choice between Hill-of-Beans and BO.

What if BO looked more like his mother than his father? Would he have been able to push old Hill off to the sidelines?

The color of his outer layer (epidermis)became a deflector shield (a la "Star Trek"): a word, a scintilla of criticism, Pow! Whammo! Thwak! out came the "RACISM!!! RACIST!!!" accusations.

In short order, the critiques of BO ended, including from the Republican potus candidate (whose name shall go unmentioned).

Leftism (along with its NAZI variant) has always been and is and always will be the most pernicious, poisonous, destructive religion-qua-ideology.

Sorry, it sounds too much like he´s complaining his phone calls aren´t being returned. Mr. Alford voted for Obammy once to show he is a racist and voted for him again to prove he´s a fool. Once you invite the devil into your house, it´s hard to tell him to leave!

Now they want Mitt´s expertise! To save Detroit!

So now some blacks and some reporters are becoming offended enough to start "getting it." Just like we always tried to tell them, starting way back in 07-08...Very late to the party, but hey, welcome aboard, and please bring all of your friends with ya!

"Electing Obama was a huge mistake".....

Gee, ya think?

"National Black Chamber of
Commerce"

What is morally WRONG with that organization? If someone cannot tell, then they are just as stupid and racist as the people that belong to it.

Sounds like you were a fool to start with Harry. BTW, you waited until after Barky´s re-election to speak out? How very convenient.

Now I´m going to wait and see how long it takes the rest of the black CoC and other black groups to jump ugly on Alford and then how long it takes for him to walk back these comments. 10..9..8..

..sounds like someone didn´t get his free cellphone!

I seem to recall that Alford did not support 0bama the second time around.

Said the Low Information Preacher to the Low Information Choir!

Black Americans voted for what they think is a black man and therefore the 1st black president. Sorry, he has 50% black genes and 50% white genes which does not make him black.
He is according to my dictionary a "mulatto", n.(1) A person having one white and one Negro parent. (2) A person having some white and some Negro blood.

In other words we have not yet elected the first "BLACK PRESIDENT"
