According to Maya Angelou, President Obama
has critics and doubters. Angelou, the sage of black America, now 83, has no time for them. “I think he has done a remarkable job, knowing how much he has been opposed,” she says. “Every suggestion he makes, the Republicans en masse fight against him or don’t vote at all.” It’s about him being a Democrat and being the first black president, she says.
How dare anyone criticize or doubt President Obama, who has already done so much? Regardless of having to deal since January of 2011 with a Congress his party does not control, President Obama has led the nation into a remarkably unprecedented state of dependency on government, has ignored the Constitution when it has imposed inconvenient obstacles to implementing his agendas, has continued to weaken the nation internationally and has racked up an historic national debt along with massive and still increasing federal spending. All of these accomplishments have certainly been remarkable, particularly for an American President. Now, he seeks an additional four years to do even more remarkable things and would most likely prefer to do them with a Democrat controlled Congress and probably without an inconvenient Constitution.
He has accomplished these remarkable things, and plans to accomplish many more, mainly to promote his conception of “fairness” (poor vs. “rich,” Black vs. White, other politically favored classes vs. other politically unfavored classes) while stimulating the creation of the most divided America in a very long time.
Obviously a racist, Representative West has characterized government “handouts” as slavery. Heh. What does he understand about slavery or, for that matter about Blacks, anyone or anything else, that President Obama doesn’t understand, smarter and better? Representative West had best do a quick reset and get with the program.

History is replete with great men like Barack Obama — transformational leaders of wide renown, seeking to shape history in their own image, never realizing it is not great men who make history; it is history which makes great men.
Our president has never been more than an epigone of a great man. And the cold glare of history will see Barack Obama for the man he truly is — and it will not matter what the meaning of “is” is.

Yes it is. And it reeks of them.
WhenWill we ever learn?Just another hack writer, and black female racist.
Sage of Black America? How does one get such a title?
Since Maya Angelou, like President Obama, wouldn’t even be known if she were not black, she no doubt feels a certain solidarity with the President.
As an unflinching bigot and hypocrite who thinks not having enough people on Jeopardy is racist but the NBA is just fine as is, her pronouncements have all the weight of a feather. Angelou and W.E.B. Dubois among many other no-talents is why experiencing art and academics through a lens of race is like eating Chinese food: you still have an empty feeling right after ingestion and a headache from the glutton. I feel sorry for black Americans who read this woman and think her “wise” when in fact she is a complete moron.
Something else that Barack Obama and Maya Angelou (birth name Marguerite Johnson, FWIW) have in common: endless fascination with their own uniquely powerful personal stories, and generosity in sharing them with us, because we have so much to learn from them (insert dry heave here). Yes, Ms. Angelou’s prose writing consists mostly of memoirs, four or more if memory serves, and oh! does she ever come off as a heroine of courage and creativity in every one of them…
– I say: I think you mean Unsinkable.
To Janeane I say: I’ll have a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon.
Maya Angelou – Since it’s all about the colour of his skin as opposed to his ongoing efforts to turn the United States into a destitute third world s**thole (BTW, he’s WINNING that one) all I can say is don’t get sick or fall down any stairs.
Based on your age you are TOO OLD to qualify for Obamacare, as it’s ALL about the AGE of the patient (ring any bells), and the only thing YOU will qualify for is to be left in the gutter to DIE.
Thats the change YOUR getting and considering your attitude it’s more than you
deserve.
Useful idiots and hopium smokers – it’s not just for the young.
Janeane Garofalo – Stop snorting tinfoil, it’s turning your brain into mush and making you rave like a homeless crack addict.
