The long, sad faces you’re seeing from our corrupt media have nothing to do with the bad news the unemployed received this morning (my wife among them). Nope, the media is sad for Barack Obama because job creation in June was way below expectations and the overall trend is downward. Thanks to Obama's failed policies, this great big beautiful country of ours created only 80,000 jobs last month, way below estimates that ranged in the 100,000 mark, some as high as over 150,000.

Hit hardest were the unemployed in the black community, where the unemployment rate increased from 13.6% in May to 14.4% in June. For black youths aged 16 to 19, the unemployment rate is now an astonishing 39.3%, up from 36.5% last month.

Black pastors target Obama

Rev. William Owens, president of Coalition of African-American Pastors
A large coalition of African-American pastors, snubbed by President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder in their demand for a meeting to discuss same-sex marriage, are calling on blacks to boycott the president and sign a petition demanding that the administration withdraw support for gay marriage.

“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,” said Rev. William Owens, president of the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors. “Some things are bigger than the next election.”
 
The pastors are angered with Obama’s recent endorsement of gay marriage. Obama did not, however, suggest that he would push for a federal mandate allowing same-sex marriages to take place.
 
Owens is the voice of a large segment of black pastors who support traditional marriage between a man and a women. “The Black church has always been the conscience of America, and today we are calling on black pastors and black Christians to withhold support from President Obama until he corrects course,” he said.
 
His group also started a petition to encourage Obama to change his mind. It’s called 100000signatures4marriag e.com.
 
The group also called on the African, Methodist and Episcopal Church to denounce the president actions.
 
That seems unlikely since the AME Church Convention, which met in Nashville last week, had first lady Michelle Obama speak. In her address, she credited the civil rights advocacy of AME churches for paving a path for a black president. “My husband is in the White House today because of them,” she said.
 
Still, said Owens, “In the midst of this great moral struggle, we are also asking the great AME Church to reaffirm Biblical views on marriage that is between one man and one woman.  The AME Church has not taken a position on this important issue in more than twenty years and it is time to get off the sidelines.”
 
 Their opposition to gay marriage could influence how black churches turn out the vote for Obama.
 
“We were once proud of President Obama, but our pride has turned to shame,” said Owens.

Let me make something clear.  Obama is still going to get the vast majority of the black vote.   Romney will not benefit whatsoever....especially since Romney is not a Christian, he's a Mormon.


There's nothing to see here.  Black pastors are upset but they are still going to vote for Obama....that's just the way it is

There is something to see here. Bush got 11% of the black vote in 2004, up from 8% in 2000.

In a tight race and in certain swing states, that could be CRITICAL. If Obama gets a smaller percentage of the black vote as well as fewer black voters, overall, it could be a major blow to him.

Higher unemployment among African-Americans, coupled with Obama's gay pandering will have a number of black people staying home.

Ok, let me put it to you this way.....


Modest Black Man....or Extremely Rich White Guy......

Pathetic.   Race over reality for 95ers.

[The True Adonis]

This backfires for Republicans who make the nonsensical argument that Obama is a Socialist who bends over backwards to help blacks. 

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Pathetic.   Race over reality for 95ers.

No....just facts.  Bush at least spoke with the NAACP and made an effort numerous times whereas Romney does his best to make sure that he doesn't take a picture around any black person.....the only blacks that he associates with is the ones that vacuum and sweep all of his properties or serve him his food at the table.  That's why he's not going to get any of the black vote

Thank you for enlightening me in this regard!

[Roger Bacon]

I feel better about voting for Romney now!

[The Showstoppa]

No....just facts.  Bush at least spoke with the NAACP and made an effort numerous times whereas Romney does his best to make sure that he doesn't take a picture around any black person.....the only blacks that he associates with is the ones that vacuum and sweep all of his properties or serve him his food at the table.  That's why he's not going to get any of the black vote

No he isn't going to get any black votes because he's running against a black guy.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

No he isn't going to get any black votes because he's running against a black guy.

So what....Obama won't get any votes because he is black and some people will vote for Romney because he's white.....its not like you can fix stupid

[andreisdaman]

and this is why it is so sad

the Republicans get the majority of the white vote all the time..is that sad as well?

[tonymctones]

More opinion and hearsay from our resident idiot.

dont let facts get in the way there Mr. Airsoft

"The NAACP is gearing up for its annual conference in Houston, Texas. Each year, the civil rights group attracts big names, including this year's guest speaker, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney"

[tonymctones]

if you can show they are voting for them b/c of their race then yes!!!!!!!

[andreisdaman]

maybe but I wouldn't count on this....black people are also upset at the Republicans constant efforts to de-legitimize Obama and to not work with him...they aren't going to let him get voted out because they stayed home

[andreisdaman]

Pathetic.   Race over reality for 95ers.

its race for the Repubs and conservatives as well.....

[andreisdaman]

No....just facts.  Bush at least spoke with the NAACP and made an effort numerous times whereas Romney does his best to make sure that he doesn't take a picture around any black person.....the only blacks that he associates with is the ones that vacuum and sweep all of his properties or serve him his food at the table.  That's why he's not going to get any of the black vote

[andreisdaman]

No he isn't going to get any black votes because he's running against a black guy.
