Obama is suddenly the president of black America again (Video)
There are only 22 days to go before America elects a new president, and the current president, Barack Obama, is feeling the pressure.
The NY Times reports that Obama has been in seclusion in a conference room at the Democratic headquarters in DC for the past few days “cramming” for the 2nd presidential debate next week.
It’s do or die time for the president: Mr. Obama needs a strong performance against challenger Mitt Romney or he will lose his job.
You can bet that Obama regrets telling a television host that he was not the president of black America.
Once again his arrogance failed him. Mr. Obama was feeling his oats that day. He was riding high on a wave of poll ratings that had him way ahead of Mitt Romney. But things have changed — a lot — after the public thrashing that Romney gave the president. The momentum has swung in Romney’s direction. And now the president is sweating bullets.
Obama suddenly realizes that he is the president of black America after all. Especially since it was largely the black vote that helped put him in office. Statistics shows voter registrations are way down since 2008. And blacks have the lowest voter registration turnout of all.
Today, President Obama released a new ad featuring black faces from every walk of life. Obama’s bestie, rapper Jay Z, uncharacteristically wearing a suit and tie, reminisces on the days back in 2008 when the black community reveled in Hope & Change. Those days are long gone, however.
Don’t think Barack isn’t paying attention to the new statistics. The Obama administration has enlisted Jay Z to remind blacks of your power to vote. But after telling us that he is not our president, Obama’s latest ad is a classic case of too little, too late.
“When the president got in office initially, what he represented to a nation of kids were hope,” said Jay Z, who rose to national prominence as a rapper from his days slinging crack in the trap in Brooklyn.
“For so long, there was this voice that was silenced out there as far as exercising your right to vote. I think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. They didn’t believe that their voice mattered or counted.”
“Now people are exercising their right, and you are starting to see the power of our vote. He made it mean something for the first time for a lot of people.”

*****************************************
Your commentary and that pic of him wiping his face got me weak!
Romney did not thrash Obama in the first debate. All he did was call the president a liar but has NOT yet even revealed his plans for the economy and job growth if he becomes president.
The moderator asked Paul Ryan if he had a plan yet and the little boy did not have an answer.
Yeah, the race as become closer but I still think Obama will win. If not, oh well. A 2nd term does not make you a great president. We saw that with Bush and his wars
@Dark
She can’t. Claiming not being interested in being a true citizen but steady at that keyboard on Obama everyday.
Okay. If ya say so

All i’ma say is this: You can vote for whomever you want that I can’t and won’t knock it.
But i’d rather vote for the guy who’s trying to look out for those who don’t have much, than vote for the guy who has everything and is only looking out for those like him.
@Milkayyy…me too..

BUT, your opinion only matters IF you can vote, sooooooo

Seems a lot of ppl have bought into the “im going to be rich just like Mitt and dem” lie so they think they gotta vote for republicans so they won’t have to pay taxes from the millions they gonna get as soon as they get cast on a reality show
America needs help BAD but spending our way into the successful nation will not get us there….I’m neither a democrat or a republican. There are policies from both parties that I agree with….and disagree with.
I have people in my family who think that Obama can do no wrong and all I can do is SMH
because people get so swept up in his charm and other attributes but that doesn’t excuse some of the things he’s done.
Now don’t get me wrong, he’s accomplished A LOT and if he’s reelected, I hope he continues to accomplish things for the betterment of this country….
I can admit that in 2008, I was blinded by a lot but not in 2012…

I don’t think it matters whether he made that statement or not. Black America is not voting for Mitt Romney. No matter what. Barack always had the black vote.
According to a reader and a source close to the situation, the previous story about Pilar leaving her home because her utilities were cut off was nothing but a lie and a cover up by Pilar’s publicist to hide a more disturbing issue.
“Currently Pilar and the kids are staying at the Westin Hotel Stonebriar (Frisco, TX area) however it’s not due to unpaid bills. It’s because her sister ABUSED one of Pilar’s kids and Pilar doesnt want to kick her sister out. Police were called to the home and the door was kicked in and everything. But she was prolly at some BigLife (Pilar’s company) meeting or pointless photoshoot when it all happened.
The house I’m mentioning is in Celina, TX where Pilar, Kandie (her sister), Pilar’s mom and the kids live. The house is basically Pilar’s, it’s in her name. While Pilar is busy screaming that they have no lights in the house her mother and her abusive sister are surely staying there right now. The “no lights” story was a lie leaked by Pilar’s crazy publicist Kali Bowyer, the same woman who claimed Chris Rock fathered her child. She’s been to jail for other crazy stuff in the past.
Pilar and Deion have joint custody of the kids. They’ve attended practices and games with their father. But might I add, while Pilar is screaming she’s broke her and her kids have taken two lavish vacations this summer to New Orleans and Miami. She truly is a poor excuse of a woman who is far from independent. Deion is a good father, she’s just too busy selling her kids a dream. They had a beautiful home but still lived a average lifestyle.”

_____________________
St ives scrub is for exfoliation of surface dead skin not dark marks. it will make your skin somewhat smoother but that’s all. Even Mandelic acid will not work immediately you’ll need to use it at least once a week for about 8 weeks for the marks to fade. after about 3 weeks you can try it twice a week. it depends on your skin sensitivity. You must use a sunscreen also of at least 30 SPF everyday and moisturize moiturize moisturize. I use something plain like cetaphil or oil of olay in the daytime. I also use a mixture of Argan, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Vitamin E and Almond oil at night.
Deion reached out to RumorFix
“It’s a lie as usual,” Deion tells RumorFix in an email. He says, “I have all my records of every child support payment.” Deion and Pilar are in the middle of a bitter divorce although the former model signed a pre-nup.
Deion also disputes a claim that he doesn’t see his oldest son. “We have joint custody,” Deion writes, “I have my kids three and a half days a week. I have no other obligations to her.”
As for the Pilar’s claims that she is running out of money and can’t even pay her elec…Deion writes, ” She’s crying broke — staying at the Westin in Frisco [Texas] ordering room service for four people three times a day. Go figure. She left her mother’s home which she claims no utilities. But you leave your mother and sister there? Her sister abused my kids three weeks ago. Police kicked her door [and because of a] court order, she can’t be around my kids and that’s when Pilar left to the Westin. This all is True from the horse.”
Sandra you should be counting your stars, that your blog does not require funds from KQED, because you and Big Bird would be bye bye.
I told him he shouldv said, I am the president of Black america and I am also the president of white, latino, asian america etc….

I was using the st ives scrub and wash and yeah its been about two weeks.I had a bad acne flare up this summer, even got a facial and that didnt help, only made my skin smoother. I use to use cetaphil yrs ago, was using aveeno this yr. Paid a twenty dollar copayment to see a dermatologist and he told me to drink more water.
So if
wins again this year I wonder who’s going to release a song like Jeezy did 
I bet it wont be able to top it either.

A good face wash and a cotton ball doused in Witch Hazel (2x’s a day) has really helped my skin. I also started that water thing that Fayla was talking about (drinking half ur body weight in oz of water) all those things combined has helped. The scrub is good (I used it) but if u do it too much ur face will become dry and produce more oil which will produce more acne. Its a fine line, of finding what regimen works for ur face. The clinique 3 step acne system is good, its just a lil pricey.

You’re right its hard finding the right combination and for me some stuff will work and then stop after awhile. I think I heard about witch hazel before and I dont mind paying for something that will work.

@Dark-n-Lovely…i have had the only battle with acne up until a year or so ago…i have super sensitive skins..mhm. BUT my saving grace has been the ‘Simple’ line of face products…i use the face wash (i also have the face scrub), witch hazel and the day/night cream (theres 2 separate one for day & night) i will not change that regimen…and my skin thanks me…oh and water of course..
but that period pimple..

all this is good. Here’s my regimen
Sunday_ mandelic acid peel
Monday & Tueday Wash face 2x a day with cetaphil followed up with
witch hazel toner. then 2% salicylic acid acne cream on any bumps. THEN in the morning slather face with moisturizer let sit then put spf suncreen on top At night wash face, toner, then the oil mix i already mentioned.
Wed morning wash face just like monday and tuesday at night tho i use a mask i make up myself of bentonite clay, manuka honey, tea tree oil and a little distilled water leave on face 1 hr. rinse wipe face with cotton ball soaked in witch hazel then put on oil mix.
Thursday, friday, saturday: same as monday and tuesday.
I never use the oil mix in the daytime cause i have a long commute and with the TX sun hot beating down on the oil is like frying my skin even with sunscreen. Im trying to drink one ounce of water per pound of body weight..(haven’t got there yet)
Fugg threes celebs take this wif booze & alcohol. Ion see how the do that chit. I swear I’m seeing chit while sitting here arms & leggd just numb,

The only thing about Witch Hazel is, make sure u get 100% witch hazel and not that 70% WH and 30% alcohol.
You will know the difference cause one is a lil more than the other by like $2-$4. And u get used to the smell
I got mister using it too, and he loves it. He came downstairs one night looking like he was in my pressed powder, his skin looked so good
I also use the Neutrogena Wave, I like it a lot!
@Angiegirl ok lol. I’m thinking of starting with the witch hazel then working my way up to the acid if nothing else works. I’ll see.
@ Dark n Lovely
witch hazel will prevent new breakout and help dry out the current ones. you will not see any difference in your spots tho
@datsmdubya2u ok I’m kinda slow. So the acid is to help with the spot removal, ok.
What can i use for my dark spots on my face..any recmndtns??
