Sep 27, 2011 7 Comments

Barack Obama has a lot of nerve telling the Congressional Black Caucus – and by extension Black America – to “stop complaining.” Negro please!

So I caught president Obama’s speech last night. Aside from the lack of specifics on certain issues or proposals, I was left wondering: wait a minute, was this Barack Obama, or Shaft?
