— Ace That economist? The Rev. Al Sharpton, of course.
President Obama will discuss jobs and the economy with black leaders tomorrow, including the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Now, I'm lying; he didn't summon Sharpton there, and I doubt he'll even listen all that much. He's trying to firm up support in the black community, which still supports him at 90% levels, but is hurting more than other groups in this recession.
I don't know if this is really a story at all.
But I'll pile on anyway.
Thanks to EdwardR.

and Dr. Dorothy I Height, chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women.
Will they be using their negro dialects at this summit?

I would say en fuego! about your posting speed, but I deeply suspect you write these out beforehand and line them up for posting. And if I deeply suspect this, it goes without saying that I really should spend my time pondering more important things. So OK, maybe deep was too strong of a word.
Anyway, as a conservative, I deeply appreciate Al Sharpton's affiliation with the Dummycrat party.

So I guess that explains the consult with Sharpton et al.
And O'Reilly... next time you bring that buffoon on your set for a "debate," I'm switching over to a test pattern for the rest of the week. In fact let's make that a standing rule.

Al Sharpton to head NASA.
President Obama says Al Sharpton will lead a NASA effort to "let a brother walk on the moon" in a Godzillion dollar program to end white liberal guilt. Several White House aides say yes, Rev Al is a rocket scientist.

Marc H. Moiral, President and CEO of the National Urban League
Morial was the former Mayor of New Orleans, who turned it into a shithole even before Ray Nagin.

"President Obama says Al Sharpton will lead a NASA effort to "let a brother walk on the moon" in a Godzillion dollar program to end white liberal guilt."
Now if we could just send him and his minions out into space permanently....

If I were Obama, I'd have Sharpton et al. organise counter-protests at every scheduled Tea Party event. I'd try to start physical fights. I'd want "tea party race riot" to be the headline across the nation every week until November. I'd make it impossible for any conservative to walk out of doors in large groups.

I can see the conversation now:
Al: Okay hereÂ’s what you do Mr. President. You get a bunch of your people together and picket. Make sure the press cover it. When the Press have put enough pressure on you get a meeting with The Man. At the meeting you tell The Man to give you some money or you will do this every day for a year. The Man coughs up the cash. Unmarked bills, nothing over a fifty.You give half to your people and keep half for yourself. Move on to the next place. Sweet and it works almost every time.
Barry: But Al IÂ’m The Man!
Al: Oh yeah. Well I canÂ’t really help you then. I gotta go. We are picketing the White House tomorrow. Good luck bro.

Sweatpants futures skyrocket!
It's scary. We have a president with what I think is 8% of his cabinet has had any prior private sector experience inviting a bunch of grievance monger/shake down artists who've never held a meaningful job in their lives to determine a strategy for jobs. Unbelievable. But I'm sure our "educated class" and highly paid political pundits and newsreaders think this is a brilliant idea. Unbelievable.

Also in tomorrow's meeting will be Benjamin Jealous, President of the NAACP, Marc H. Moiral, President and CEO of the National Urban Leavue, and Dr. Dorothy I Height, chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women.
Reverends, Presidents, Chairwomen, why it's a regular nexus of racism there.
