Congressional Black Caucus Keeps Frustrations with Obama Quiet

What?

Life for members of the CBC is not better with a Black president in office?

How can this be?

Maybe it’s because the Democrat Party really loves Black people’s votes more than they really love Black people in general. Of course that’s not the “template” that Democrats operated under to garner 95% of the Black vote.

I’ve been telling my friends these thing for years, but be that as it may, the mental enslavement of Black to the Democrat party continues.

Hey, CBC you’re lucky not more of your members are not going to jail with their stealing taxpayer money via non-profits.

Talk about being ungrateful.

The Washington Post reports:

A year ago, members of the Congressional Black Caucus openly wept at Barack Obama's inauguration. Slowly, that euphoria has given way to frustration that his administration has not done more for black America. Questions about how to elect him have been replaced by questions about how to prod him.

Black Caucus frustrated but reluctant to say so
For many, it is the surprise of a political lifetime that they find themselves wrestling with such quandaries.

Alternately puzzled and disgruntled, CBC members say key people in the Obama administration have taken them for granted, in the belief that black members of Congress have no stomach for a fight with the country's first black president.

"We concluded they were just kind of listening to us and that then they would go back [to their offices] and conclude that we would do nothing," Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), the vice chairman of the CBC, said of one dispute. "Because they had concluded there's a black president in the White House and that, to some degree, the Black Caucus, you know, was constrained in expressing its desires. After a while, we said, 'Hey, we see what's going on and it's nothing.' "

Congressional Black Caucus: Dems, Corruption, and the Non-Profit Scams Part ll

Well, it didn’t take long for me to come up with a following up story to what I posted yesterday about NYC Democrats and how they skillfully use “non-profit” organizations they control to steal taxpayers’ money.

Well, what do you, the New York Times, of all people is blowing the whistle on the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).

The CBC are the same people , when they’re not busy using class ware and other populist rhetoric to demonize large corporations, as the “the enemy” of the downtrodden working-class, but when the cameras and microphones are shut off, they have no problem snuggling up close to America’s largest corporations like Wal-Mart, AT&T, and Altria, the nation’s largest tobacco company, with their grubby, graft-stained hands to collect more money to pay off the mortgage on its foundation’s stately 1930s redbrick headquarters on Embassy Row.

In public, they do a deceitful dance with pitchforks in tow to rile up Black folks and bash corporate America.

But, the CBC also pole-dances like a stripper on K Street and uses their favorite money laundering device—non-profit organizations, to rake in dough in the shadows away from prying eyes.

The Times reports:

The caucus says its nonprofit groups are intended to help disadvantaged African-Americans by providing scholarships and internships to students, researching policy and holding seminars on topics like healthy living.


But the bulk of the money has been spent on elaborate conventions that have become a high point of the Washington social season, as well as the headquarters building, golf outings by members of Congress and an annual visit to a Mississippi casino resort.

In 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation spent more on the caterer for its signature legislative dinner and conference — nearly $700,000 for an event one organizer called “Hollywood on the Potomac” — than it gave out in scholarships, federal tax records show.

Rep Barbara Lee, chairwoman of CBC had the nerve to say this:

“Historically, we’ve been known as the conscience of the Congress, and we’re the ones bringing up issues that often go unnoticed or just aren’t on the table.”

The CBC are bunch of corrupt PC-protected scammers and scoundrels of the congress that are no different from urban criminals praying on the people. And when they're criticized, they pull out the race card like American Express.

There's a saying in the hood, "Don't hate the player, hate the game!"

These Democrats play the politcal hustle well.

But, they do their dirt with a wink, a smile, and a request for your vote.
