    #16  There are African-American capitalists Obama will not have anything to do with. They on higher roads. They are the true American Eagles. Obama only likes the smash and grab gangsters. Soon to find themselves in desperado status as the treasury runs deeper into debt.

    #15  I csn't think of a one I'D ask for advice, or listen to.

    #14  Like the great King Dingane, these people are no threat to the Obama throne. He will listen to them and grant them privileged status as trusted confidants and advisors. All others [the elected US Congress] must be ignored or purged.

    #12  Not certain about "slit throats' g(r)om, but while on the subject, I do think Jodi Arias and 'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius would make a delightful pair.

    #11  Funny - I don't see a single entreprenur on that list...

    #10  Besoeker, I don't doubt their rapacity, or their hostility to "whitey". Nevertheless, with Obama's election, they cut their own collective throat.

    #8  Thomas Sowell has a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago. Odd that he didn't make the list.

    #7  SheeshÂ… having to meet with that list of hat-in-handers the President actually comes off a sympathetic character.

    Ah, yes, shake down artists. Seems to match the modus operandi of the Administration doesn't it? From their bubble, it's 'normal' which is why the general economy won't recover.

    #5  Do not disparage our Africanized-America. We shall not be intimidated by western civilization, our tribal ethos will not allow it.
