Is Obama the Right Man for the Job?
Thu, 11 Aug 2011|
In his Aug. 8 letter “Fail to the chief,’’ Rick Blum criticizes President Obama, and asks, “Is it too late to vote for Hillary?’’ It is puzzling to me how the substitution of one seemingly corporate-owned candidate for another would improve the lives of Americans. Was Barack Obama the right man for the job?

What afford WRKO hey guys know it's not -- evidently as myself I'm the little asked what everyone does it seems to be clueless. -- to -- -- not being a studio today hey I'm sorry Jenna and four out for Michelle I I really appreciate the opportunity -- -- -- -- off. And and that she should be in tomorrow but that really got to repeat this afternoon because I have a lot to talk about I know you guys due to. If you haven't heard me before I'm on Saturdays or WR -- from one until three and I do hope you join us and a few while if you listen to the show before. And I was elements in this if you want to elicit any of the -- past shows and stuff that we've done -- you heard something that they thought wow what's that all about. Just check out the podcast go to wrko.com. And not click on weekend shows and you can catch on a podcast we get everything up there for you. All right guys here's the deal a last time I was in from Michelle. I was at last week the week before I was going to absolutely. In scene. About what's happening in this country with race relations in fact I think it was I know I know that it was -- we've talked about the Wisconsin situation. And that this failure of the media to talk about. Why a black on white crime and an I I went on about how. You know it's just it is it's laughable at this point everything is about race it it's just it's endless series of finger pointing and name calling and -- yet again and today you know the most recent situation we had was -- And -- mentioned it last weekend. Pat Buchanan I don't know he's arrogant I don't know be stupid some people it did sound I'd get it that was I'm not gonna defend Pat Buchanan I am in status. The wave that He said Joseph blow right. It didn't sound derogatory. But I don't think He meant it as a racial slow our. For some reason -- you know everything is about race as Yunel and guy He used He mentioned he's talking Al Sharpton reverend shaft and -- reverend Sharpton what happened by the way with his teleprompter. Something's going on over MSNBC I don't know if it's sabotage or what but man not good reverend. And in any event that Pat Buchanan was talking in the reverend Sharpton and said your boy and then sometime after that. US -- -- -- born. -- for Friday -- Friday before that use the words -- in a sentence which means it's it's very very hard to extricate yourself in the situation there is a Webster definition of the term tar baby. I believe in my heartland -- was not saying it in a derogatory way but you can't even say the word you guys know what happens and I talk about this frequently because it's just. The society we -- it look at all of the flash mobs and all the insanity that's going on across this country. The -- -- Philadelphia talk directly to African American youths and said something that many white people have been saying amongst themselves. To their black friends to their white friends to their children it doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter what color you are just so happens that many of the flash mob recently with the and the problems with last month has to be happens to be with. African American -- they're just kicking the crap out of white people and anybody white people black people mostly targeting white people. Because they are they're angry or they pour our combination of both or whatever I do what ever. The Arab -- Philadelphia said basically. You're looking stain with a tattoo is the picking your -- your pants hanging down you have done a disservice to your race. -- now I don't mean of course gets applauded by the African American community. If anybody white had said that I mean that all hell would have broken nose but finally somebody had had the you know what to say it's on -- -- -- say it ain't got. They got hopefully to -- listen -- I doubt it. But I bring this up again today before I get to Obama got to talk about what Obama's currently engaging in what he's doing and I got to ask you questions about it. But Leonard Pitts and while I don't like to give the guy any on. -- any press and it's happy he's a syndicated columnist this is what He does. He wrote today exactly the point I was making last week. I open up the Cape Cod Times this morning I do I live on the -- I read it frequently -- got to you can read that wherever you have Boston Globe Boston Herald. Ladies and gentlemen Leonard Pitts says He writes for the Miami Miami Herald He has indicated. -- quote your ball like that part babies the president of the United States Barack Obama. He talked. He He is doing exactly what African Americans are doing and many white people right now who happen to support the president and Democrats. Everything that's said about any things that has that you can directly linked to racism if you are are not directly. They're doing that they are doing what -- inflammatory. First a few sentences to write in his column. Denny goes on to lie about what -- lamm board said He said He. He made it had become apparent He He basically said in He called the president a target which He did not do. He calls I tried to call out Pat Buchanan and the whole idea the whole thrust of this piece by Leonard Pitts. Is that Republicans hate black people and they hate Barack Obama. I can't believe somebody is arrogant enough or ignorant enough. To write something like this and guys it goes on and on and on and I just hope America is waking up meanwhile did you see a lot of press about the idea black kids that would be the crap out of the white kids in Wisconsin did you see that was that. Did you see that headlined anywhere now you did not. Yet CNN does this big -- business big story. About how some black guy in Mississippi of course wrongly terribly. Was selected. By two white young young white guys and it targets selected and targeted if you start about that but nothing. And often. About that the black kids the hundreds of black kids that were beaten up people at the Wisconsin state fair just because they were white I can't stand of course Leonard Pitts talks about Rush Limbaugh right talks about. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They talk about how Russian it was neat you know saying I want Obama to fail. And an -- it's just it's crazy. And people are being trained I guess just my question about Leonard Pitts in this and you gotta read it yourself because I mean I we -- He read the whole thing. I wouldn't read the whole thing I don't wanna give to get -- much press. But it makes me so angry I was absolutely. Just beside myself I knew I wanted to mention this when I was coming on the spot this afternoon. I just and I guess my feeling is our people waking up to this. Do you think people can see through this He does not mention one thing Barack Obama has accomplished or not accomplished He has not talked about how He has failed in many ways. How He has no plans for the economy how the guys going on vacation it's. It's almost I've never seen anything like it just because. He is the first black president. It seems to me that black people most not all. Don't they don't want to criticize all -- they're very very hesitant to criticize at this point what color what does it matter what color skin. The president has if he's not getting it done and not leading this country this is what I don't understand. I just can't wrap my mind around -- white black Asian woman nail it doesn't matter to me if Hillary Clinton was in the predicament. That Barack Obama was in. The -- anyway I don't think women would not stand idly by in contention to support Hillary when they're for a one -- are being depleted on a daily basis. I could you. I could be wrong. That's one opened the show with that guys read it and and I guess and if you if you wanted to to tell me talk to me about this do you think people are waking up to beat the whole idea. Black and white in America they cannot talk about Barack's accomplishments they can't and in really. Democrats are whispering behind the scenes there why I don't know what difference does it make a less she was gonna run against him in a primary home we should have picked Hillary. We should buyer's remorse we should have picked Hillary won't all kidding. Hello. I mean and I'm sorry to say yes I know a lot of your conservative I was -- supporter I'm a former Democrat. And the minute I saw that Iraq was elected and the path that He was going down I immediately jump ship no way I'm not going with them can't do what. Can't do it. 61 won't do it 6172666868. 877469432. To refute anything please read this this. This column by Leonard Pitts you guys are you gonna freak out you are gonna absolutely freak out. But they're not that I mention of Barack Obama and I will get to the Hillary Clinton. Oh my god. We really want Hillary we want him. It's a little late. The little late now why could you -- seeped through the snake oil salesman John. When He was out there telling you He was -- apart the sees no. Couldn't get because He was the first to quote Joseph Biden the first clean articulate what was it clean articulate. Well dressed in black man. Politician -- yet that's what black politician America has ever seen. But that's not racist clean. Articulate and what does that mean -- He got away with back. -- get away with that. Are -- studio guys as you know the president I know how we talked about this yesterday the president is currently going to be. A vacation He decided He said yeah I don't care I'm going to Martha's Vineyard I'm gonna drop fifty grand of my own go. Great and you know what I'm black ideas because that the issue I had one of the issues that the president taking a vacation was the fact that he's going to be using taxpayers' money at all. In this financial crisis. But here's a thing about the da vis and I've I've I can't believe that a lot of people say the president has the right question at the right. He's got the right to go on vacation but that's not the question the question is why hasn't the president why does -- care. Why doesn't it seem like the president cares right now when people are suffering when the economy is going up and down and every which way. We see it lit leaders political leaders overseas either coming back from vacation. Or not going canceling or postponing their vacation because they got to deal with crisis and and wherever they it. From. Many politicians most politicians are doing this. What is it in your mind it is it -- and I've really I've been thinking about this all morning it's not a question of I mean you can answer the question should the president go on vacation because I think we all for the most part agree don't. Because this copy Nelson says the optics are bad but here's a deal with this the president doesn't well I I think the president doesn't care. I think the president doesn't care because I believe that the president. And I know it's hard for people to say this it's hard for people to believe that the president is doing exactly what He wants to do this country he's he's dismantling the middle class. The whole idea of taking from the rich and giving you the -- he's desperately trying since He can't do that Republicans stand in his way what is He doing he's taking from the middle class in giving -- lazy shall apps out there that He put their hand out and saying I where's my house my mortgage in my car -- my cell phone and constitute any you know while we gotta pay prostituting. He's getting done exactly what He wants to do I believe that in my heart act is that unsavory to say maybe. It doesn't matter. And I'll go back to something the president said again over and over and over you guys. He wanted to change the country fundamentally from the inside out and He believes the constitution is fundamentally flawed. When you hear those two things put together. He wants to change of face the nation as it is and the constitution is flawed we are in deep you know what. Hey hey I got. So I believe the president is going on vacation and he's gonna eat his ice cream and and in enjoy that bike ride. And plays basketball and have all the fun in the world because He is doing exactly what He set out to deal. Why -- why is it's so hot for so many people to believe that I don't think that's a conspiracy theory I just think again given the fact. Studies -- hanging out with some radical folks for the last 2530. Years. What -- what you expect. It also you've written Brad. Either of his either of his boss He talks about. The very thing that's happening to the country right now. And the vision that so many people that that He -- rubbed elbows with had backed added why people -- domestic terrorist and -- de LA errors you know He can be He can understand when Bill Ayers is coming from dice. He's going on vacation because it's happening what He set out to do. Is that really hard for you to believe. And -- I mean in my just one of these -- -- you know again on the former Democrat is I'm not somebody who. Hates the president wants a bash him just because he's a Democrat or because he's black I'm. I'm Daschle what he's doing what He is absolutely doing to this this country and I you know. I talk about every Saturday from one -- three -- -- it whether we stay on the topic for about twenty minutes ten minutes and Howard doesn't matter. Is the president going on vacation because He just doesn't care about people suffering. Because he's doing exactly what He has wanted to do -- set out to do and it's -- get -- done. And if you don't believe either of those things and please tell me what the what the alternative because I can't see it and maybe I'm missing something -- welcome -- WRKO go ahead. Am I doing Jen congratulations on the new gig by the way. What you did. Are you being honest -- Not -- yeah I've been on the radio station for about a year and a half but you might decrease. I mean what's coming up it's even better because I always enjoy feel like don't agree with. What you would what you say but that's what it -- about it. Well I guess out. All right we'll see what's coming up I had my. Well -- on the cape and then being a navy guy and travel in this world and then who live in an opinion my life and come down here. Yes credited emit heat. The president it is the top baby kept people on the -- while all the class period. I don't care what their education is it still deeply embedded then comes out in every day car title they don't press a button on the why aren't on their Internet and go check this dollars and it's funny and you look anatomy -- saying you're an adult. I hate it how hot it -- for me to swallow thank god it was great different. And thank god I don't believe that but I do believe there is impregnated them I do believe we think also they're not gonna stop until they get in my office. -- -- no there is definitely contingent of people that believe that manages crazies but I don't think the Tea Party is racist I don't think. People are being trained to believe that the tea parties all white racists. That -- Republicans are are white rich guys in a racist and that's just not true in a letter -- he's like today perpetuates. That on truth and that's what makes me angry and I think it's intellectually. Immature are I think it's disingenuous and somebody like yourself who pays attention Mike. Doesn't it make you angry that. That black people are intentionally inflaming. An issue that really isn't as bad as it is is it out there yes but that's not while this is happening. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- and I that we -- -- but people do look flat and it all black and make it would they deal. You don't play every one of them their -- job. Did a lot of great people that cholera. My -- to -- the black guy and I don't they got because they you know why but I'm bringing it to the other the idea that one I'm staying here. -- right now communicate I would pick an awful public rated not as well one minute colony another they're not. Well you know what Mike thanks for the call I appreciate somebody might say. Exactly what you just said is racist do you know that when you say woman of color even that. That's a pre dated comment. That's not PC anymore I think I may be I want my best friends as black and I said that on the ice and I love. Girlfriend that's colored people wit not its. It's crazy. Everything is taken out of context are right guys Leonard Pitts wrote a piece about how. White people -- in the GOP is racist and everyone wants Obama to fail because he's black. How tired of this are you advocate and I guess the other question other than the Obama question which as. Is He going on vacation because he's getting done what He wants to get done -- He just doesn't care either way it's not good the optics are very bad or is there an alternative. But how dangerous do you think this whole class warfare race issue is right now and how much do you think it will affect the 2012 election cycle is going to be huge. 617266686887746943. Teach -- -- the phone numbers if you would like to join us here -- Branson and for Michelle. Call us right here Abbas is taxation and six AD WRK -- what people are at WRKO Jennifer bringing in foreign Michelle McPhee. I should be back tomorrow you can catch my show this Saturday Albion from one until three I do hope you join us if He can't call a show to anyone sending email. You can always do that -- bring in my email changed by the -- major hacking going on crazy. So -- to change it it's no longer Jennifer -- and it's -- bringing -- at rocket mail dot com and you can also find me on FaceBook are right guys. I hate honestly do you really does do you know that it does not feel good -- -- sit down and talk about the president in a negative way every day. But when that's the news or what else you gonna do and -- so many people feel the same way I do. You know. We gotta talk about it because something's happening I'm not doing it I'm just in America you got to just Americans sit now they are going to work paying your bill hopefully. Pay your bills even though the government's not -- -- well. We keep an -- barrels in the government doesn't mean there's. And anyway. Well -- where Americans and we just sit out here and watch it all unfold and then when we talk about it with the bad guys who want to point out the obvious hello. You know you have to be inspector clue so to -- certain things out like. Carney saying all our the president -- he's really worried about the economy. How many say that the -- Scott no plan. No -- -- Andy's goal of the vineyard -- nice Green that's his plan. Only that feels good He cares about me yeah you guys Fred welcome here on WRK -- answer. Well agenda they really care of our economy certainly wouldn't -- going to -- on vacation so I would do that your house was total -- On vacation. And in this guy's done a great job of getting by against right more than people like constraint. Congress -- they go on profile editor if you had to react are going to survey. 99% of the black people would vote for. You know as saying in the land of the blind the one I managed and. It well according -- written -- that's a great. I -- thought you'd think that a black president has done more damage to race relations in this country intentionally. Than that any. Kind. Should I -- I actually very different -- the call and everything I say that as you know provocative as some may think that sounds I mean extra week along for awhile with things perfect -- Did I miss you know stick it's foot when He you know did the whole you know He said. About -- young girls yeah either stills is their stupidity and racism and discrimination update yeah but we -- moving forward and now. Put the brakes on not so much anymore. Not so much. You know the president knew and the Democrats knew exactly. What he's got nice that more advertisers they wrote commercial jingles. They were they were huge in the industry of selling products they knew how to get to the hearts and minds of people and they and they know what race does to people. They know what it -- 617266. Or race relations 68688774694322. And really. People like Leonard -- Black columnists are using Obama's skin color to their advantage to get their -- put it in for another four years. Because he's done nothing as far as I can see -- MI wrong here. -- welcome -- WRKO. -- what difference does it make whether he's done McCain camp did that of a White House he's no leader he's content and awkwardly -- -- to official wagon. If he's the commander in chief will command from the bunker. He's -- general Patton He commands from behind. Well I -- I agree with you but why do you think the guy doesn't care as a reason -- if he's no leader. A lot of I mean he's just. He's only depending on one -- for reelection. Is that stupidity. And ignorance of a lot of voters out there. That have no idea what's really going on if He gets inducted into the propaganda. That's what he's coming not that's the only thing He has gone from the democratic position for the united states of the house the cut that's -- -- is. And I thought let's put it this way they'll rest today this huge stories -- a buyer's remorse Democrats are fleeing even well. You know Hollywood and you know -- -- whomever else -- unions. They wanna give them a lot of money Democrats are running an -- they are fleeing they want nothing to do it and now this may well we should've hired -- -- -- pick well no kidding. So what does that what does that leave then what does that say about the electorate what happens. Well first of all the wishy washy you can't depend on them at all. So who knows where they'll be on Election Day. And Russ thanks for the call I appreciate it. 61726668688774694322. What does that say about the electric -- -- electorate what does that say to me that the president is going to rely again on his skin Collor. And people that wanna continue to make history even though. History is about it I guess the decimation. Is the implosion of this country as it is based on what's happening currently. And illegal aliens they either amnesty or or some -- right to vote and that lack of ID however they gonna do it. It's illegal aliens and the black vote that's how He when asked what he's counting on because can't be can't be white Democrats barely even -- -- -- Paul go ahead welcome the next up and WRKO. Hey you have to do what you -- -- -- that -- the publicity usual. We -- -- soap opera say go up its work to our baby I don't see how could you can be used. Anyway but. Racially. -- You have a bit definition of dictionary -- or -- here at work and you know people don't used. Well you know that worded it -- or racial. -- stuck there because Paula back 2008 John Kerry used the word tar baby when He was talking about I think the the economy -- recent award. He goal of course daughter created a Democrat. Why would you. Just a Nevada both security John -- But all which is Syria are biracial. Eric I see the racism multiple sides of but certainly my mother's after -- America and you know. As she spoke of but He its currency rates in the -- -- There I think you'll always speakers -- you can do you know what I want sort of terribly. It is sort by -- black African Americans said the -- reached that you actually midst that Barack Obama really is biracial -- -- call them. Black wouldn't reality you like he's biracial and which albeit -- of that that meet. -- Bible watched every tactic to chew straight to -- -- that Barack Obama it is. But apps in America why He asked but He. He's out or eight you know. I don't do so -- -- territory -- Mike's cousin who's just. It -- beauty and smoke there as black people call it torture -- -- accurate. They don't refer to -- -- that you know they don't or virtues biracial because they know a product below. Well all right. Let me ask you this I'm assuming that the majority -- The people that supported Obama the first time around it has supported this time. What is safe to questions why are they gonna continue support him when and by all accounts I mean He is failing this nation. And it's all around as you can feel it you can CNN secondly. What they say about people that don't want wire to wire people racism they don't support this guy. So what it is your first question mark after your circuit cited his -- reportedly kept. Him from Forrester are. Local tournament -- and they've made that clear. It's just because. He's one of that although he's -- go to it's like she's one of substance we have -- us a while ago. He's not really don't they get that that's what I don't and. A little bit older and they won't do it -- -- and if you try to -- -- -- to have a -- -- -- Good durable that you that you saw the first black president. You know and I -- artistic your second question. Spears honestly. I don't know what. Why you know that's an honest answer I appreciate the time -- 61726668688774694322. Gentry and and for Michelle McPhee. Talking about the president why He just is why He is -- her vacation. Is it because that guy doesn't care. Toys because he's getting done the job He sent out to do which is destruction of this nation take it down and rebuild it. And if there's an alternative please please enlighten me because I'm missing it and has this president the first black president in your estimation. Made race relations in this country far worse than they ever could have been and work when we had a white guy. As president of the United States let you know ten -- in -- by from Michelle right here Abbas and Sox nation and succeeding WRKO stick around. What 39 at WRKO. Good Thursday afternoon Jennifer -- and inform the show on XV 61726668688774694322. I just got an email saying I'm so sick of the Obama bashing wall -- now if I ever call. Again I remember George Bush get lit into for a variety of -- things I -- shoes being thrown at hand my memory and not see symbols and and superimposed pictures of that. The the former president done faces of babies and so on you know it just it drives me absolutely not guys. You can't have it both ways He can't be distant. The person that's not your guy and then asked the rest of America. Either not to DS or talk about -- the sitting president it's just I mean that's what happens that's what happens. The president is headed for Martha's Vineyard guys and I just can't understand why. Why He feels a need to do this. As a -- as an as an American who you know listens to family members talk about their savings being depleted watching my neighbors suffer. You know worrying about. What what I'm gonna have worrying about Social Security it seems to me that the president would be better served if He wanted to show the people He cared about them. To stay home to stay in the White House and not not be smile and a laugh and riding a bike in high fiber in his Franzen eaten ice cream it's just. Doesn't seem like He cares and I you know I also getting as a -- president deserves a vacation no one's saying He doesn't deserve it. But is it time for everything now is not the time. But if you disagree let me now let me know what you what you think about this whole mess in this amassed no doubt -- welcome your WRKO. All right -- -- -- well I would call outlook into the show and if my whole opinion on the creeping back. Feel people don't realize outside because I ran off the floor. And got it. I don't you people realize that great of them at the end of the article here at hand. I'm African American I lived in that in. End all well. People that aren't my -- is actually talked about in the city people of color. They all feel like. The trickle down effect never come to an attempt to. No. No -- and number beyond which -- Obama because if you look at all -- candidate running. And -- -- because black. Now. People that without the ball on people again based solely on his race. And I would tell you why a lot people college peel back. That country been around for almost 400 is 300 here -- decrepit it had been caught Kate and if they -- published an -- is any best of our argument that the second parent. Where exactly what to do our. The current one particular computer and to -- 300 ears. But I can't get an explanation of what color -- going for him because they look like it's great. Cockpit -- o'clock Kate can president not -- in the paint on local or Obama. I don't agree with a lot of -- spending I really don't. I don't is that we would it either I don't think that He would get dealt a bad hand and CNN politics and being yelled -- When you living in the -- and if you call out what other regions of the country here to help people live and I've been out stop asking why black -- justice. But I think what it is is that because black people have if you'll in the past that so many years. You know it -- wanna come out a little bit angry -- -- and any other race in the event. You know because we still on that too and all -- is a feeling. It's so -- economy you know. -- you constantly ask you this what is it when we use that people -- of the country's environment like guys in the last you know X amount of years what is it won't. Sit right. Since. Expect at -- Black America expect or want to see this president dude that's that's my first question for. Honestly. You know I don't say the my that was the social it'll do you look every -- because what we really feel all that. All pregnant -- that have been here while we might get -- because I couldn't tell you. I'm all at -- 32 I can only remember my grandmother and I spent about JFK Coke in and now Obama. You know the -- it never gonna steal it president in all it's totally or. And that's why -- once beaten number directed -- people against going up to vote all. Does reading device because every because I'm look at the president being there for Americans.
