Obama "Silver-Streak" Crash Heading

Obama Warns of "Quiet Riot" Among Blacks

Quote(s) of the Article: Barack Obama
""When we have more black men in prison than in college, then it's time to take the bullet out"

"This administration was colorblind in its incompetence," but the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane.

"All the hurricane did was to pull the curtain back for all the world to see,"

Ahhh, I don't know where to start on this, I've been speechless before but dayum! Is this guy trying to derail his own presidential run before it gets good and heavy or what. A few weeks ago, he gaffed at the number of people who were killed in a tornado. No one said anything. And now he's comparing the federal gov't aid to folks in the Louisiana area as a riot waiting to happen. And uses the analogy of the Los Angeles riots in '91 as a good example.
Now, I'm pretty sure he fielded phone calls from a local civil b*itch moan and whine rights group called the "Talking Drum" for downgrading their "up-rising" to riot status. And I'm pretty sure that Maxine Waters was almost kicking his senate door down for calling her civil uprising to riot status.
So let me get this straight, black folk in New Orleans are quietly planning a riot cause they feel the funds are not coming fast enough. Yet, when warned by their local government, moved slower than molasses. And on a personal note, I was pretty disappointed to see so many abled bodies blacks get caught in that type of situation. I mean the theory of black folk having that sixth sense of flight has been ruined. I guess the Japanese have us built, I mean they did have practice running from Godzilla! But! a quiet riot in the City of New Orleans, isn't that redundant? Or the nation has been lied too, by Ray Nagin and the city is back and in full swing...
