    West has been overly critical of Obama at times in my view but he makes some points worth contemplating here.

          West more interested in generating buzz for his next book or tv appearance than anything else.

              In days of old the 'downpressers' had a strategy to continue to subjugate by 'divide and conquer' policy and the execution of that policy. A bedrock of such policy was manipulation of segments of the 'downpressed' to attack others of their race...

              It is worth thinking on whether or not the downpressed knew they were being manipulated.

              Cornel West and his 'partner in crime' Travis Smiley make very limited and infrequent passing references to successes of President Obama and in most cases attempt to convince that the successes were failures...the rest of their time is spent spreading negative propaganda which appears to be for the sole purpose of attempts at making them relevant.

              Their posturing is sickening. Because of the size exposure given them - They are seen as validating...they validate for some who believe all men were not created equal the thought that we are a shallow race...poor at critical thinking, easily manipulated and led...worthy of 'boots on the neck'!

              Poor fellows...

                    Don't recall me giving him a pass. Definitely seen worse presidents than him.

                        Not sure who this everybody is. Look like you vex them cause them style him as black instead of brown.

                            ...and the point is surely not that Obama's thoughts do not run along the same path as or true to MLK's!

                              Really? So MLK advocated carpet bombing of civilians? Domestic spying? Torture?
