Snarl & Wink
In the months after Barack Obama won the presidency with near-total support of Blacks and the white Left, a New York Black activist was fond of telling audiences to pay attention to the First Black President’s face, not necessarily his actions. According to this theory, the president had to pretend he was in synch with the corporations and conservative whites, but he’s really a good “brother” with Black folks interests at heart. Just look for “the wink.” That presidential wink at Black folks was supposed to be the signal that Obama is working his game to our benefit.
m.c.:
Wouldn’t it be great if the Congressional Black & Hispanic Caucus’s on Nov. 5th released a press statement that if POTUS and his economic team doesn’t find money in the treasury & fed for small business lending and another large economic stimulus package(including tax breaks and lots of goodies for green & renewable energy companies, as well as direct hiring of the unemployed for these jobs, unionized too[all by executive order if necessary]); he can do all this during the recess congress. The new congress doesn’t start until January, that they will pool all their party delegates and start shopping for another 2012 Democratic Party Presidential Candidate. Hmmm, is Dennis Kucinich busy ???
