Obama Consults With MSNBC Host Al Sharpton, and Other 'Civil Rights Leaders,' on Fisc

[driveby]

Ever consider that maybe Obama knows cuts are gonna have to happen, and he's seeking the help of people like that in selling the necessity of that message to those folks??

Imagine if Obama spends 4 years actually moving to the center/right, and draws in more moderates with smart budget cuts, common sense tax changes, etc?

Democrats will win every election for 10 years if that happens.

Imagine if you stop smoking crack for 4 years? You might start producing common sense posts....

America's fiscal position is a Civil Rights concern?

 

[FJO]

There is NOTHING "civil" about Al Sharpton.
What he preaches about is not "RIGHTS" but unfair advantages and preferences for blacks.

When the President of the United States feels compelled to consult with such human garbage, one must feel an equal pity for both.

Another question, aren't most of these lobbyists? Why is the man that promised not to allow lobbyists access to the White House meeting with lobbyists about the budget?

* Peter Berns, The Arc
* Sister Simone Campbell, NETWORK
* Chad Griffin, Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
* Wade Henderson, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR)
* Deepa Iyer National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA)
* Ben Jealous, NAACP
* Marc Morial, National Urban League
* Janet Murguia, National Council of La Raza (NCLR)
* Barry Rand, AARP
* Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, MomsRising.org
* Rev. Al Sharpton, National Action Network (NAN)
* Aaron Smith, Young Invincibles
* Rev. Jim Wallis, Sojourners

Guess we Americans can sleep well at night as each of these people have America's collective best interest at heart; including, financial viability. Nope, no self-interests here.

A bunch of race hustlers comparing notes on how to fix a fiscal problem, makes sense to me.....

Apparently, there's a civil right to other people's money.

None of those people are registered lobbyists.

The term "lobbyist" has a specific definition, it isn't an all-encompassing term for anyone with an opinion.

What opinions do you think these folks have, and why should Obama solicit fiscal advice from them?

I mean, it's not like Obama didn't meet with CEOs and business leaders earlier the same day.

No, they're just a bunch of race hustlers, corporate propagandists, fear mongers and other assorted demagogues.

Nothing to see here.

Just not sure why Obama thinks civil rights leaders have any expertise in fiscal matters.

"Expertise" isn't the word for it. "Opinions" would be the right word. Is there any reason their opinions shouldn't be heard?
