Obama's Chicago Campaign HQ

(Via Ace of Spades)

Notice anything funny about the pictures above? They were taken at Obama’s Chicago Campaign headquarters. If you look carefully you can see they’re not all white – I can see two Asians.

Not a whole lot of women either, but Obamanation always has been a sausagefest.

UPDATE: Reached for comment, Obama said “My son would look like Trayvon and I wouldn’t hire him at Chicago Campaign HQ.”

    ah, c’mon….they’re just kids! give ‘em another 20 years or so to learn something other than rhetoric and ideology….takes time to actually accumulate knowledge, you know…

      My third child was born one month before my older sister’s firstborn. She had read all kinds of parenting and child psychology books in college (she was studying to be a family counselor) so I had to put up with years of unsolicited advice.

      After she had one of her own she quit giving advice.

    does this mean that backtrack believes in separate but equal????

    Via Legal Insurrection:

    Just before the highly publicized hearing on the constitutionality of President Obama’s health care law, ratings for the U.S. Supreme Court had fallen to the lowest level ever measured by Rasmussen Reports. Now, following the hearings, approval of the court is way up.

    Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the Supreme Court’s performance as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up 13 points from 28% in mid-March and is the court’s highest ratings in two-and-a-half years….

    It is impossible to know if the improved perceptions of the court came from the hearings themselves, President Obama’s comments cautioning the court about overturning a law passed by Congress, or from other factors. Approval of the court had fallen in three consecutive quarterly surveys prior to the health care hearings.

    White frat boy bloggers (and their sheep) who double as journolists during the off season. That’s who got Obama elected last time. Race-baiting skill is an essential job requirement.

      Nailed it. And I think I blame them more than BO for everything that happened after 08. A sewer rat can’t be expected to be anything other than a rat, but those @ssholes chose to deliberately pass off the stuttering clusterfuck as a competent lightbringer. Gag.

    You have ads now? – I’m fine with it, I was just surprised to notice it (for all I know you coulda had ads for the past year).

    thanks.

    did anyone invite backtrack;s 99% ????
    Isn’t Detroit the city that jesse jackson wants the taxpayer to bail out??
    and the black panthers are threatening to burn down????

    Occupy Chicago chants “Fuck the bourgeoisie!” Do these morons know that “bourgeoisie” means small shopkeepers and merchants? I.e. the middle class, small business owners? Fucking idiots.

    • angienc, on April 9, 2012 at 5:56 pm said:

      Bwahahaha! Obviously they do not know the meaning of bourgeoisie, but then again I’ve found that people today think they can create their own definitions of words. These are also the ones who think internet access on phones were going to make us all “supersmart without having to work.”

      • WMCB, on April 9, 2012 at 6:06 pm said:

        Oh, I’m sure many are ignorant, but you can bet your ass that some of the organizers know precisely what it means. Communism requires that the middle class be destroyed, and it’s the primary thing that stands in the way of uniting the lower classes.

        Communists made no bones about the fact that they fully intended to destroy the independent middle class. These little wannabe radical chic hipsters with their Che-the-racist-mass-murderer teeshirts need to learn some goddamned history.

        • myiq2xu, on April 9, 2012 at 6:39 pm said:

          Some of them do know what it means (sorta) but it fits in so well with rebelling against mommy and daddy.

          Rebels without a clue.

        • threewickets, on April 9, 2012 at 8:09 pm said:

          They’re essentially chanting “Fuck Me” which I’d have more respect for if it were pure self-loathing instead of pure stupidity/narcissism.

  18. HELENK, on April 9, 2012 at 7:30 pm said:

    when the occupy mess first started there was a video of one of them carrying the communist flag in front of Independence Hall in Phila. The building is where our country started.
    I was so sickened and will never forget that. When princess nancy and backtrack and his bunch backed them it told me all I will ever need to know about them and their aims.

    • DandyTiger, on April 9, 2012 at 8:19 pm said:

      That commie flag was done by FoxNews. Or was it DHS. I can’t keep these things straight. Anyway, the point is, Occupy is a perfect, perfect, flowery wonderland where everyone is wonderful and there are unicorns and unity ponies. And puppies.

    • myiq2xu, on April 9, 2012 at 8:54 pm said:

      I wasn’t offended by the commie flag thing. I didn’t feel threatened either. Communism ain’t gonna fly in this country.

      My criticism of it was that it was a stupid thing to do because it would alienate anyone who wasn’t already a flaming leftist. I said if they were smart they would fly the stars and stripes, not burn it.

      For that I got called a wingnut by some pinhead.

      • WMCB, on April 9, 2012 at 8:57 pm said:

        Oh, I have no fear that this country is ever going to go communist. But I hate liars. And there have been organizers behind OWS who have been hiding under rocks and lying through their teeth from the beginning. And the reason they hide is because they know that what you just said is true – Americans have no love for communism.

        • myiq2xu, on April 9, 2012 at 9:12 pm said:

          Danps has a good series of posts at Corrente discussing the Anarchists and violence advocates within OWS

          Here’s the latest:

        • WMCB, on April 9, 2012 at 9:19 pm said:

          I browsed it. Yes, Danps makes some good points. But what he doesn’t seem to understand is that he is re-inventing the wheel, here. They tried what was basically anarchy, and it was a disaster. So you have to make rules. Now they are finding that the making of rules can lead to oppression. What to do….what to do??? Seems to be the frustrating and almost bewildered question.

          Here’s a suggestion: read the Federalist Papers with an open mind, and marvel that those crusty old boring men who are not cool or relevant or anything……may have been onto something.

        • threewickets, on April 9, 2012 at 10:09 pm said:

          Lol, right? Communism is about rules on steroids, and anarchy is the other extreme. It would all make more sense if they’d protest Obama who is head flack for the establishment, but of course they won’t do that. Maybe it’ll make more sense to them when Romney’s president.

      • HELENK, on April 9, 2012 at 8:57 pm said:

        just the symbolism of them flying that flag in front of the building where men worked so hard to start this country upset me. I used to take my kids there to learn about American History.
        Sometimes it is not the big things that upset but the small things that say so much

        • myiq2xu, on April 9, 2012 at 9:00 pm said:

          I can’t get upset when I see people waving the commie flag. It’s like getting angry at the losers of the Special Olympics.

          It’s not their fault.

        • HELENK, on April 9, 2012 at 9:14 pm said:

          you are right about the stupidity. but they are not taught the downside of communism like we were

        • threewickets, on April 9, 2012 at 9:56 pm said:

          You mean the 80 million killed by Stalin and Mao. They should teach that.

        • HELENK, on April 9, 2012 at 10:33 pm said:

          In high school I had a teacher that said you are going to learn about communism because you can not fight what you do not know. So we were taught just how communism keeps most people down and treats them like dirt. Along with the killings you spoke about.
          I have also met people who excaped from Communist countries and they taught me the downside.
          Those lessons are no longer taught and it seems that the younger people are being softened up to be overtaken and that does worry me

        • WMCB, on April 9, 2012 at 10:37 pm said:

          HELENK, my husband’s best friend is Polish. Marched with Lech Walesa. He despises Obama and his crew with the passion of a thousand suns.

        • myiq2xu, on April 9, 2012 at 10:43 pm said:

          Once upon a time liberals led the fight against global communism.

          FDR, HST JFK and LBJ all opposed communism.

        • WMCB, on April 9, 2012 at 10:50 pm said:

          Myiq, these new “progressives” have usurped so much. Liberals have always opposed authoritarian systems. Yet now, if you object to “carrying pictures of Chairman Mao”, suddenly you get called a wingnut. Fuck them.

        • HELENK, on April 9, 2012 at 11:14 pm said:

          all those who lived in countries that were ruled by the communist party and were lucky enough to escape can see what is happening here. But how do we make the people here listen and learn. Sometimes I feel like it is fighting clouds to speak out.
          I consider myself a moderate on many subjects but not this. I see backtrack as the biggest enemy of my country in my lifetime. This is because he has been put in a postition to do the most harm to my country. Stalin, Mao, Castro and the other enemies could attack from the outside and the people here saw what was happening and fought it. Backtrack and bunch are attacking from the inside and too many will not see it .

    So do the OFA/OWS and the main group depicted at Chicago HQ have a portable kool-aid pack pumping the IV? Or do they carry coolers of kool-aid drinks? Just wondering how they keep that crazy look that they all have. Twinkles.

    h/t Corrente blog article linked above provided this link.

    One of the suggestions for the weekly F the Police march in Oakland.

    https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/01/15/18704790.php?show_comments=1

    NO DAMAGE TO PRIVATE PROPERTY of any kind — people’s cars, any Oakland businesses (especially small businesses – but the Starbucks that was hit last time actually gives free coffee and food to our vigil so we prefer to leave all of them out at this time).

    Until they stop giving us what we want. ;)

      To be fair, the Corrente blog article referred to that page as ‘lazy stabs’ of Occupy trying to deal with vandalism.

        I have a sick feeling that he started doing that only when he had the SS to back him up. There is something wrong with him. I bet he would never, ever do that to Putin.

        Well, what do you expect, he’s got 99 problems but a b!tch ain’t one.

        And of course he’d never do it to Putin — his body isn’t posititoned right for it when he’s kissing his @ss.

    Interesting about the finger pointing thing….if you go back and look at earlier pics of the Jokester, you will noitice that when he was pointing or making a point, his finder was not always fully extended but bent at the knuckle…..now, his frustration with people not bowing to his every sibilant “s”….has resulted in the fulling extended finger point! Next, he’ll be openly swearing at us and calling us stupid….as the styrofoam pillars come crashing down!!

    That photo is particularly striking in light of the fact that demographically, Chicago is nearly 40% black and, at any rate, whites are a minority in the city.
