From The Root:

On September 1st, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele graced the stage in Washington once more for a town hall meeting hosted by the young black Republicans of Howard University. (For the sake of full disclosure I have to admit up front that I was, at one point, a Republican. I have since been exorcised and have a GOP: NEVER FORGET tattoo written in Japanese kanji on my lower back.)

Ahem.

Michael Steele is a terrible leader. Full stop.

I’m not sure who expressed to Mr. Steele that he was right there on top of the political game with President Obama, but he seems to believe it hook, line and sinker; I know this because he implied it multiple times during the course of the evening. Yet for all of his attempts to reach out to the black community with his Hip-Hop Republican ideas and possibly soul food assisted membership drives, Steele misses the one thing (besides common sense, which he DOES NOT have) that is needed to deal with black folk: Likability.

    i dont even no why the man even bothers to waist his time most blacks are only interested in a good speech you dont have to deliver on it just as long as the speech sounds good thats why when it comes time for votes the dems play the race card everytime and it works because blacks dont like truth meaning hand outs dont work are if your going to make a litter of kids be married ok.

    branecia, you are right the Republican need to learn to lie like the Democrats. Bubba Obama is going to give a speech Thursday promoting his health care agenda, wonder how much credit he will give to his hero Hitler. That is defaming Hitler, after all he was more truthful and honest.

    you know, you idiots…cough cwm299, blkman6ft6_inla cough…puts too much power in the hands of politicians…especially the president. That slave master you two work for is the one that is making you believe that Obama is lying…etc. Cause that slave master you are working for is pouring money into the naysayers/leftwing nut jobs’ pockets to stall what Obama set out to do. This is blatantly obvious, yet you idiots are calling him a liar. Take your blinders off…look around

    I could’nt even read half the sh!t branecia wrote. All politicans suck a$$ though. The Democrats want to baby us cause they give us handouts and sh!t. Then the Republicans don’t even act as if we exist so either way we are screwed.
