Afrosphere comments to ed henry, enjoy
This is one of the blogs that I participate in and some of the comments are Right On!!!! They are also funny!

http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/03/president-obamas-post-press-conference-open-thread/

I would encourage all my DUers to go out into the Afrosphere to get another progressive perspective on politics. You might learn something:fistbump:

8. Here's another one..
:P "Why did Ed have to go into that Whiny-saltine voice that irritates the Heel-out-of-me??? Wah_wah_wah...I was yelling "Shut the f*ck up!" Then the POTUS BROKE.HIS.ASS.DOWN. And it was all over after that. If CNN knows what's good for it, they'd better elevate Suzanne Malveaux or Dan Lothian to THAT TOP SPOT, and get that PUNK-Ass-BE-otch to steppin."

Oh man, I can so relate to these guys:rofl:

3. Thanks
that's a good board.
I actually think President Obama likes to take it to these guys. It's like he sees this as just a little fun.

4. Good..Thank you, angee..I could use
a blog where they're not mining the internet for negative shit on Obama.

I like Booky's..

"From Booky:

Ed Henry sat on the wall.
Ed Henry had a great fall.
All the CNN’s horses and all CNN’s pundit heads
couldn’t put Ed Henry together again."

18. Town has some good comments
I like this one from Town:

And Robin Roberts was looking at Obama like "Oh shit, what do I do now?" look on her face because Obama had that "Try me" look on his face. Michelle was giggling in the background like "That's MY man and he's gonna kick yo' azz!"

And then he flashes that million dollar smile like sunshine and roses.

People need to know, when Obama breaks out in a smirk or smile after you flash on him he's about to open up a can up whoop-ass on you. It's like on the Dog Whisperer, when the dog starts baring his teeth and Cesar tells the petowner the dog is in the "Red Zone?"

When you act like an ass with President Obama and he starts smiling on you, you're about to step into the Presidential Red Zone.

Watch the debates when McCain would say something assy like "Obama doesn't understand tactics and strategy " or "That one!"

Obama smirks/smiles and then hands McCain's ass to him.

Ed Henry stepped into the Red Zone and he and CNN are still dazed and confused.

10. I'm Laughing So Hard at the CommentsThat I Scared the Dog
My favorite

"I love it when someone is corrected and they can't even get angry because the person did it smoothly. Obama ain't angry. I don't want to see him angry. I bet that shit ain't even close to pretty."


:rofl:

15. You are welcome
I think its good for progressives to get another perspective. The Afrosphere is growing by leaps and bound and is pretty much ignored by the mainstream progressive websites.

20. Priceless. I'll never see that commercial again without thinking,
Ed Henry. The sad thing is that I cannot place him, but he'll always be the butt of the joke.

"Methinks Ed will be pink-slipped for bringing his C-game to the party like that and getting clowned by the POTUS on National TV.

It's ON!, sayeth the POTUS. LOL"


"His C-game":rofl:

30. I agree for different reasons..
"Hell NAW, they better leave Ebony the hell alone. I grew up with Ebony on our coffee table. Hell, Ebony is on MY coffee table."

Kevin Chappelle had one of the few real questions for PrezO.

32. I LOVE the Afrosphere!
Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 12:22 AM by Number23
I even love just saying it. "Afrosphere"... :)

Thanks, Angee.

ETA: This post says it all:

"the Bill Bennetts and Henrys will stroke out soon. They are going to straight up STROKE out, because the BLACK President is too smart, too cool, too productive, too good looking, too popular with the American people.

It's killing these WHITE MEN, killing them. We see you, HATERS; we SEE YOU"

39. Those are great.
Fat, pasty white guys.....maybe their heads will explode???

Bennett, he who was busy lecturing America about "morals", spent SIX MILLION DOLLARS on his gambling habit, and said it didn't hurt anybody.

:wtf:

And tomorrow Obama goes on Univision to speak to the Hispanic crowd...those pasty old white guys can't stand competence, and a Prez who speaks several languages, and multiculturalism.

The old white guys don't run everything anymore. Too bad!!
