Maher’s Advice For Obama’s 2nd Term: ‘Become An Angry Black Man Who’s Pushing A Liberal Agenda’

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher%E2%80%99s-advice-for-obama%E2%80%99s-2nd-term-%E2%80%98become-an-angry-black-man-who%E2%80%99s-pushing-a-liberal-agenda%E2%80%99/

While progressives may be happy that President Obama will be around for another four years, Bill Maher warned them not to get too complacent, and pointed out that now Obama no longer has to run for reelection, they can “hold his feet to the fire” on a number of important progressive issues, from the drug war to the the defense budget. Maher said that after four years of conservatives accusing Obama of being an “angry black man with a liberal agenda,” the president should do… just that for the next four years. -snip-

why suggest Obama change his personality to conform with Bill Maher's stereotype?

Why can't black people be mellow? And I would ask Cornel West, why can't black people be Rockefeller Republicans?

He doesn't have any more elections coming up, so he has no more Independents or swing voters to win over. Obama can go all out and finally throw support behind more liberal policies. And if he wanted to try to end the Drug War, he could do that without having to worry about anti-marijuana interest groups burying him in attack ads. The end of the Drug War alone would really help with the deficit.

President Obama is going to be who is and will not doing any role playing.

I like PBO for who he is..not someone's else image of what they think he should be like.
