BET founder Robert Johnson on the "FOX News Sunday" program: "Well, I think the president has to recalibrate his message. You don't get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success. You know, I grew up in a family of 10 kids, first one to go to college, and I've earned my success. I've earned my right to fly private if I choose to do so. "And by attacking me it is not going to convince me that I should take a bigger hit because I happen to be wealthy. You know, it is the old -- I think Ted and Fred and I we both sort of take the old Ethel Merman approach to life. I've tried poor and I tried rich and I like rich better. It doesn't mean that I am a bad guy. "I didn't go in to business to create a public policy success for either party, Republican or Democrat. I went in business to create jobs and opportunity, create opportunity, create value for myself and my investors. And that's what the president should be praising, not demagoguing us simply because Warren Buffet says he pays more than his secretary. He should pay the secretary more and she will pay more."

Good for you cupcake and congrats on having that choice. Just don't ask to write it off.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
The wheels are coming off the Obama bus. Obama will get about 40% to 43% of the vote next November.
The wheels are coming off-Have come off- the Top 50 000 bus. And you're riding on the rims...;} Kunstler: "I haven't heard Nicholas Kristoff (or any of his colleagues at The New York Times) complain about Mr. Obama's stupendous inattention to the crimes of Wall Street, or to the dereliction of his proconsuls in the SEC and the Department of Justice. I'd at least send somebody to hold a mirror under Eric Holder's nostrils to see if he is actually alive. For my money, the OWSers have plenty to yell about. Apart from the crimes and turpitudes of their elders, the younger generation hasn't even been prepared for the massive change in reality that these times are heaving them into. If it was me out there, I'd conclude that I'd better make up the future on my own, with no help from my parent's generation. In fact, that future is rushing toward all of us so cold, hard, and fresh even in this autumn season that it might splatter the banking establishment - and the global economy - like a bug on a windshield. The OWSers have a front row seat down there in lower Manhattan.

Waiting for when the Critical Mass realizes that there will be no more QE's. And the DXY soars thru 80....tick tock.
The mask has slipped away, and nobody likes what they see of the 'real' Owe- bama these days. When you are a black President and you lose BET....well, thats right up there with LBJ losing Cronkite.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Uh-oh. Homey Johnson better be on the look-out for a drone OR IRS audit OR a BATF beat-down at his door... Where was this quote cited? The New York Times? CNN? NBC News? Huh....just FOX? They don't count as "media" cuz the Tea Party owns them. /s Who wants to bet O'Reilly doesn't touch this story with a ten foot loofah pad? BET founder Robert Johnson: "I think the [Commie bastard] president has to recalibrate his message. You don't get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success." Why would 0bama "recalibrate his message" if that's what he as a capital-hating, America-hating, black-separatist and Marxist believes? And since when does 0bama need any more blacks to "like" him? Doesn't Johnson realize that 98% of them like 0bama unconditionally?

Weezy and Bam-Bam don't care; The damage be done as they be movin' on up and out as Gazillionaires in 2013.

We're right before the Praetorian Guard decide to off caligula. Are you saying 0bama = Caligula?

Geez - all it took was a crater the size of the Wookie's fat azz. Johnson was more than willing to help take down Whitey....UNTIL he didn't get a waiver and special "rights" as an elite 0bama supporter.
