With his Gallop disapproval numbers currently at 53 percent, his minority supporters fleeing, unemployment not improving, food stamps at record highs, and Wall Street having its sixth worst week ever, Pres. Barack Obama won’t accept any of the blame and wants a fight. He loses his cool at a Congressional Black Caucus dinner yesterday, demanding that the audience stop complaining and to put on their marching shoes.
Obama Loses Cool at Black Caucus Dinner; ‘Stop Complaining’ and March
From World Magazine, Obama tells blacks to ‘stop complainin’ and fight:
In a fiery summons to an important voting bloc, President Barack Obama told blacks on Saturday to quit crying and complaining and “put on your marching shoes” to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.
And though he didn’t say it directly, for a second term, too.
Obama’s speech to the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus was his answer to increasingly vocal griping from black leaders that he’s been giving away too much in talks with Republicans — and not doing enough to fight black unemployment, which is nearly double the national average at 16.7 percent.
“It gets folks discouraged. I know. I listen to some of y’all,” Obama told an audience of some 3,000 in a darkened Washington convention center.

But at times, Obama also sounded like he was discussing his own embattled tenure.
“The future rewards those who press on,” He said. “I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.”
Reminder: presidential GOP hopeful Herman Cain, who won this weekend’s Florida straw poll, said Obama couldn’t run a pizza joint successfully.
