| [The Blaze] Excerpt: J.R. Fleming, a member of Chicago’s Anti-Eviction Campaign, said Obama’s speech was “the same ol’, same ol’.” He summed up the address as a “bunch of talk and rhetoric to give favor to a dying economy in America.” How many times did you vote for him J.R.? Rhetorical question, sorry. “And the reason why our economy is dying is the president’s approach is always to place blame,” he added. “It’s not the 1 percent problem, it’s not the 99 percent problem, it’s an American problem. And the problem is patronage, nepotism and cronyism.” Couldn't agree more J.R. You're 100 percent right. Joe Watkins, the founder of V.O.T.E. (Voices of the Ex-Offender), said Obama has been “more hurtful to the black race than he has been helpful.” He claimed some people will accept his failures due to “symbolic” reasons relating to the color of his skin. “But those of us at the bottom of the ladder don’t accept that,” he added. And as a resident of Chicago, you expected something else ? |

| #7 Joe Watkins, the founder of V.O.T.E. (Voices of the Ex-Offender), said Obama has been "more hurtful to the black race than he has been helpful." He claimed some people will accept his failures due to "symbolic" reasons relating to the color of his skin. "But those of us at the bottom of the ladder don't accept that," he added. Yet 95% of the Community will keep voting for him. If it's not because he's delivered jobs and hope, then why? Another round of chants of Trayvon, Trayvon, will ease those pains. Maybe a pep talk from the oppressed millionaire Oprah will help? |

| #2 To you OldSpook, the blinders have been the Millenials and fellow travelers fashion accessory for seven years and will continue for some time to come...This article is an abberation in MSM, will likely be recanted as soon as the "fire fighters" from the WH find J.R. He won't be a Fleming for long, likely Flaming; a flaming has been in Chicago politics. |
