Personally, I don’t think Nader was calling Obama out as an Uncle Tom, but maybe he should have chosen another term to make his point since “Uncle Tom” is so racially offensive to both blacks and whites.
Anyway, I agree with Nader that Obama totally ignored poor blacks during his campaign. The excuses I kept hearing was Obama already knows blacks will vote for him, blah blah blah.
Sadly I don’t think anything will change. Obama will continue to ignore the poor and disenfranchised in this country because they don’t fit into his agenda.
Thanks to loyal reader 2bme for the link!
Morning all .. please recap video. I have the white box @ work.
Thank you in advance.
Welcome back Sandra. We missed you.
Awww … and Raplh Nader runs EVERY year .. for what ? ?
who’s listening to him anymore ? ?
There are Poor Black .. Poor Whites .. Poor Latino’s .. Poor Asians .. Poor Hindu’s .. Poor OLE me ..
whateva .. this country didn’t get like this ova night ..and it’s not gonna get fixed ova night. We ALL have a stake in America .. Love it or Leave it …
Ralph Nader is a jack a s s . I thought “Uncle Tom” was a word used by blacks. What does a white man know what a “Uncle Tom” is. Never mind, he probable knows Clarence Thomas.
Ralph Nader dont know ish, he was part of the reason why Bush got elected the first term. Because of this big whole Bush put us americans in this really is going to be a challenge but I dont doubt Obama work ethic to get the job done. you are just plain out hateful, just like the crackers at my job who cant except the fact that us americans have a intelligent man as our president.
THE DEVILS HAS RISEN!!! THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE FIRST COMMENT AND SURELY WILL NOT BE THE LAST…THEY WILL JUST HAVE TO GET OVER IT…IT IS WHAT IT IS!! HE’S PRESIDENT!!ANY WAY””””STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES BUT NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME..I DON’T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT,SANDRA.PEACE!! GO OBAMA!!
ralph nader. who cares?
sidenote: speaking of losers is ross perot still living?
I like the “Brush your shoulders off” post…….Im outty 5000 G……….
What Ralph Nader said was not inflammatory to me. It was a legitimate question had he not been talking about President Elect Obama. Barack has proven himself to be an agent for the poor and disenfranchised for 20 years. His community service is above reproach. Nader is holding the fact that the man knew what to do to get elected against him. What I think is the most glaring thing about Nader is that he is an extremely poor loser. Instead of celebrating the historic moment, he’s out here b*tching and moaning. That is not very presidential. That is b*tcha$$ness.
So did he stop caring about poor black people like the ones he helped get abestos removed from there apartments, do some reserch he got his start helping poor black people whcih was a chioce he made that he did not have to make he could have had a high power lawyer job and not have to have dealt with the “community organizer” jokes but he did make a sacrifice and I believe he will continue that work in the White House. I do not think he is obligated to have a black agenda he needs to have an agenda that will move America as a whole forward. The black fight has always been about equality so why do some feel that he now should be like black this and black that…is that equality?
Sandra, you’ve been MIA since Tuesday and you return without giving us “morning wood” or “morning glory”? Come on now, lets get back on track here!! I’d like to request Tony Rock! He’s funny and I think he’s atractive. I know he’s not our ususal “morning wood” but lets change the pace for the day!
GOOD MORNING FAMILY!

***********************************************
Before I read your last sentence my response was going to be:
The white man was introduced to Uncle Tom during the Clarence Thomas debacle. They now know beyond a shadow of a doubt what an Uncle Tom is and Ralph Nader knows full damn well that Barack is not an Uncle Tom. He’s just talking sh*t like he is still in the race instead of making a dignified concession statement.
Good morning Auntie and SR fam.
Well that is to be expected, but dont let others hate, encourage you to act the fool. We need to keep banning together for the entire country, not just the rich, wealthy and mostly white.
oops wrong post – he’s an a$$$
see this is why white folks get an ass kicking every now in then. i didn’t see ralph need an ass whipping nader campaigning in the poor areas, cities or countries. i didnt see him speaking at black or Latino events asking for their votes and wanting to do the right things for the poor. he is jealous.
on a happier note we got our president Obama luncheon today. mrs joann done brought collards, tammy done brought a slab of ribs, jaun mac and cheese and keisha done brought fried chicken. lol i my self brought my famous sweet potato pie with marshmallows.

Did John McCain even know a “poor and disenfranchised” person?
I guess Obama just beat John McCain, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber to the punch…….sue him! SMH
Whatever!!!
I am still smiling. Ralph Nader is an idiot. I saw him speak my first year in college. All of the students walked out before he was done. President Obama does not need to be the voice of the black people. He will help all people. I have a question since when do they call the new president President-elect? I need a history lesson here. My firs presedential election I could vote for was 8 years ago and I do not remember Bush being called president-elect.

Mmmmmmm!! Where the hell you at? I’m coming. I’ll bring a dish.
I must say that I disagree with the use of the phrase “Uncle Tom”, but his question is legit. Support of the bailout, the Patriot Act, HR1955, and the continuance of funding the Iraq war proves that he (Obama) places big business before the needs of the people.
The American people will continue to sustain big business and corporate welfare before the wellbeing of themselves as long as they remain deaf, dumb, and blind to the truth. Freedom and liberty are being stripped away right before your eyes.
Shunda,
The president is always called president elect until he actually takes office at the inauguration in January. It is written in the Constitution. You may just have not noticed it before. It still sounds damn good to me. PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA. Yeah, that’s music to my ears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My guess is because we the people elected him. The votes were counted. We know Bush was not elected. We were cheated.
sounds good to me too @bird. just the word “president” before obama sounds good. nevermind that that itty bitty word “elect” is in the middle!!
Thanks Bird and Anna.
Heck I probably didn’t notice
and Bird you know I haven’t seen a piece of the constitution since grade school lol. I need to pay more attention before they really do slip something by me.
I think you have made an interesting (albeit incorrect) assumption Ms. Sandra. First assuming that blacks own the right to the terms poor and disenfranchised.
You must forget that Barack Obama’s roots are in helping the poor and disenfranchised as a community organizer in Chicago. I believe the last plan of attack against Obama was him being a socialist and “wealth- spreader”. So if the poor and disenfranchised (who are actually of many races America) are not a part of his agenda… Who is he sreading the wealth to exactly? And when he refers to being his brother and sister’s keeper, if not the poor and disenfranchised… then who is he keeping?
Just a thought!!
So if everyone signed off on the bailout, how is he pointing fingers at obama for signing it too. Well this is nothing new, Nader is a loser and needs to go shoot himself. I understand is questioning which to some extent is legit, but it could of been worded alot better. Every president faces the same obstacles on whether they are going to work for the people or for big business. I believe ‘poor’ people fall under the $250-200k range… It seems that most of the people that are really upset is the ones that are making over $200k a year.. too bad, get over it…
On another note, did anyone see south park last night? They did the election and it was hilarious.
why does obama need to single out poor black people? why does he specifically need to mention them? wouldnt he be discriminating against other races if he did that? should he do that just because he’s black? he’s not just representing black people, he’s representing everyone. this is right up there with the black people not being recognized in his campaign commercials comment. he’s not just a representation for black people. when are people, more so black people, going to realize that he’s representing everyone and this isnt a black or white or whatever color thing. if he’s going to mention the poor, he’s going to mention EVERYONE thats poor and not just the po lil black ones.
Sandra please do some research. I beg of you please. Read about Obama and the Altgeld Gardens. #10 gave you some info. so go look it up.
F@#K Ralph Nader. There is a reason why he never gets elected!
OBAMA is “Scoping All You Hataz” Ralphie !!!!!
To be completely honest…although I don’t think Obama will ignore black citizens, I’d rather be ignored by a black President then continue to be ignored by the white republican Presidents that have ran this country for decades.

They did call Bush “President – Elect” 8 years ago….after the recount…LOL He was not called “President – Elect” 4 years ago, b/c he was already President.
Bush is still the President of the United States.
