conyers-obama

In a recent radio interview, Rep. John Conyers, a democrat from Detroit, had some harsh words to say about President Barack Obama. While being interviewed by Rev. Horace Sheffield, from WGPR in Detroit, Conyers criticized Obama’s efforts to push health care reform.

“President Obama is sucking up to the wrong people and insurance companies as Obama pushed a weak health care package.”

He also had harsh words for President Obama about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“President Obama is getting bad advice from those clowns in the White House. We should be ending those wars now. America should be providing food instead of bombs from drones that kill innocent civilians.”

    Sheffield should have asked Conyers when his wife is going to jail and how does he tolerate her big fat, smart mouth.

    What does this have to do with his wife? Truth should be judged on its face not whose speaking it. When you do that, it shows you don’t want to hear the truth. Democrats are now starting to see that “YES WE CAN” was nothing more than an empty campaign slogan or bumper sticker.

    Classic example of black politicians playing to negroes for ground support on slandering other negroes (lol) in hopes of getting attention and then action. If obama was white would he even go there? Not to marginalize the mans point he has some, but to say suck up, thats definetly a term black folks condemn in ohter black folks. he definitely knew what he was trying to say in that term. shame on conyers

    This guy supported Hillary anyway. I think there is a lot of resentment from older black leaders like Jesse Jackson, john Conyers, john lewis, and the others who were involved in the Civil Rights struggle and never made it to the “High Office” of President. Many of them are on record viciously attacking President Obama (Jesse even wants to cut his balls off).
    This is classic “Black man made it into the Masters House and we darker folks gotta stay out side picking cotton” mentality.
    President Obabma was at the right place at the right time and everyday is showing once again that a black man gotta work twice as hard as a white man and get more results faster. He is hated by resentful white biggots and hated by ignorant jealous black folks who will make a wedge between his power and ability to improve the black condition just because they are jealous of him. Once again..black leaders waisting a good opportunity to improve our communities because they are too busy talking nonsense like Conyers because they hatin.
