Obama Pleads With Black Voters

I suspect Jerry Vrzak went after me and my newspaper when he thought I was going to give the choir a bad review. He thinks he’s hot shit, a swami of some kind. So much for black unity. Some white liberals need to be punished by the ignorant black youth – who could care less about all history. They weren’t born when Clinton passed his bill. Most of them do not know who won the Civil War. Trump is going to lock up eleven million people and deport them. As long as they are not black folks, they could care less. They see Trump in a black church swaying to the music, and they guess he’s O.K.

With Democratic leaders increasingly worried about a lack of passion for Hillary Clinton among young black voters, President Obama is rolling out a new and more personal campaign message: “It’s about me.”

The president told African-Americans this weekend he would consider it a “personal insult” if they did not vote for Mrs. Clinton, implicitly putting his name on the line as his former secretary of state struggles to replicate the coalition that delivered him victories in 2008 and 2012.

“My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot,” Mr. Obama said on Saturday night at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation gala dinner in Washington, where Mrs. Clinton also spoke. “Tolerance is on the ballot. Democracy is on the ballot. Justice is on the ballot.”
