Politico: Obama Campaign Tries To Diversify
— Ace

Why?

Oh, right, because they're almost as white as the Allman Brothers' financial planners.

An Obama campaign photograph of the Chicago headquarters last week had black Democrats buzzing about diversity — or lack of it. The picture, saturated with white faces, was reposted on the news site Buzzfeed and made the rounds of other well-trafficked sites, including The Drudge Report.

Yeah. That picture was whiter than a Mormon unicorn's teeth on Milk Appreciation Day.

A source told Politico:

“I hope the president’s team was listening when he said that if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin and that they make it a reality, not a priority, to have more senior staff [not just one or two people] around the president who look like Trayvon Martin. Right now, it is nonexistent, and you rarely see more than one African-American, male or female, anywhere around or advising the president unless he is at an African-American gathering of some kind.”

You're not going to believe this -- the Obama people have, get this, excuses for their failures.

An operative says:

In the breakneck pace of a campaign launch, “the [senior staff] who are doing the hiring are moving in a fast-paced environment trying to make multiple decisions at the same time, and they tend to hire people who they know or who come to them from people who they know,” the operative said. “And if you don’t take time out and say, ‘Let me expand the pool’ and bring in new and different people just to look at them, then you end up having an environment that is not as diverse.”

So, Obama's Old Boys seem to only know other Old Boys?

I know that somehow, someway, this is my fault. I just can't figure out how.

But I'm sure the left will inform me.


The Dream of An All-White Society

The dream lives on -- At Obama HQ.

You're welcome.


Bonus: Just after that picture broke (with all the official White Liberal Media refusing to point out the obvious; that was left to blacks and conservatives), Team Obama trotted out this guy as a "Face of the Campaign."

Like, the one black guy they could find. I think they just pulled him out of a GAP and stuck a lanyard on him.

What rocket surgeon said this? You know, I've really and truly come to realize how dumb liberals are during the Hellscare case at the Supreme court, the war on women issue, and some other thing I forget that happened recently. I knew that liberalism is the ideology of immature children, but I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But man, are they dumb.

12 President Barack Obama took a hard-to-miss shot at presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday, declaring "I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth" as he defended his economic policies in Ohio.

Obama didn't name Romney. He didn't need to. The president and his campaign have worked to make the former Massachusetts governor and millionaire investor's personal finances an issue in the election even as they hammer his economic proposals as giveaways to the rich financed by cutting services to everyone else—like financial aid for college students.

"Somebody gave me an education. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Michelle wasn't. But somebody gave us a chance,"

She's probably a college student working part time or an internship.  She's never had a job before because it interfered with the extracurricular activities that she needed to get into a good school as opposed to one of those nasty low class state schools.

“the [senior staff] who are doing the hiring are moving in a fast-paced environment trying to make multiple decisions at the same time, and they tend to hire people who they know or who come to them from people who they know,”

So neither Barak, Michelle nor their staffers know any blacks who would work on his re-election campaign.  Interesting.

I see you are engaging in further vague meanderings upon fractured eggshell dreams, as is your wont. Been reading too much Jimmy Joyce, as I reminisce with trepidation of life's woes that includes one or more from the A-list of biblical blights. Nope, my first born didnÂ’t take the dirt nap due to my non-adherence and general slacker attitude in regards to the smearing of lambÂ’s blood, or my first wifeÂ’s reputation. But there lies my astral-projected mind, much like a sizzling cheese burger of vanishing Goper moist dreams awaiting the hungry hippos of their diminishing voter bloc's evil nature. Egads! Fucked again! Or is it not enough? I mean, arenÂ’t we all really yearning for tubs of slaw from our past? Or is that the less than cleverly disguised Bloom-like misery, that all that you hope for turns to doody. So you've been having a metaphysically rough week or so? Teabaggers, Ted "the retard" Nugent, checking out Grover Norquist's hems - Family stuff. Usually you give the impression of a  feel tough guy, eager to spar with it, even blacken its eye before it puts you down for the count. But lately it looks like you and yours don't feel like getting up when the bell rings. Is the term 'pug' for the guy who's so close to palooka-ville that he is a good punching bag and that's about it. I guess somebody could ask your base voting bloc if theyÂ’re looking for an answer (It doesn't seem that way). How about you? Looking for an answer? Or looking for trouble? You never have to look far when you're a teabagger. Trouble usually finds you.

"A little more acid will do in the alge." Again, making yucks with obscure Jimmy Joyce literary logorhea. I just keep trippin' on the throw rug that Aunt Milly wove for me. And it continues to trip me up, and it continues to remind me that Aunt Milly had a three-eyed, blue haired son who'd beg to differ, then pull out his dick, er, old fellow. Comic opera some would say. But then some have a lot to say..... Hey, wait a minute. What the hell's going on here? Am I running on? Or just a ramble... a shamble.... a stumble.... an amble...

59 Check very carefully what they say:

Meaning: Give one of my buddies a job.

That picture wasn't of senior staff.  Those were the volunteers (hipster douches all, BTW) I think.  They aren't getting paid and as misguided as they are, they are the ones who make campaigns work.
 
It's sad how much emotional energy blacks put into the Democrats and especially into Obama. Obama's a user, but even the black leadership just fights for their little slice of the pie.

121 Like whoseits pointed out earlier, the Obama team is really stumbling here.  They cant talk about his record, the economy, the democratic senate etc..

SOP for them at this point is to talk endlessly about petty things that we cant help but the take the bait on.  Even these keep blowing up in their faces.

Also the point about how Obama is all about the "mystical image" (great work public education-hollywood!) which is why this type of ego popping humor is so uniquely dangerous to him.

You can never be "too" black...

"During this year’s Super Bowl, a commercial was aired with Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. In the casting call requirements a request was made for the actor to be playing the car dealer to be a "Nice-looking, friendly, not too dark" African-American. When queried about the racist undertones of such a request, someone associated with the casting agency offered this lame excuse: that lighting and special effects for an actor too dark “would get tricky.”"

Got a bit of an AGE problem as well.

 

As anyone at 50+ who has been out of work knows... unless you already have some type of contact, you are not in the running for most jobs.  Too much experience makes younger bosses feel threatened... and a past history of making MORE money than the current position often takes you out of the running.

So he closed down instead. About 140 jobs were lost.

Also, no old people because everyone knows, Old People are Scared of Everything.

TMI, keep your online BDSM to yourself.

And if you want to discuss the science of living creature decision trees you should probably reference someone from at least the last century. If you are trying to discuss philosophy, you should reference a philosopher. I don't see you mentally ready to discuss either.

1.  Their athletic prowess,
2.  Their musical prowess,
3.  I forget.

Nowhere in there was any discussion of their scientific or engineering prowess.

307 Please explain the relative benefit of a top bunk.  At my age a bottom bunk and ease of getting up to piss twice nightly seems nice. 

But what's so bad about the bottom bunk?  I have never been in prison and I haven't viewed many of the films, nor read many books on the subject.

310 Bbbbut--- his *ADMINISTRATION* is chock-full of "people of color".

Valerie Jarrett is Obama's capo-di-tutti-capi, right?

Eric Holder is the Atty-General, doing his almighty best to achieve social justice for "my people". 

Even if more than a few of the former "in crowd" have been bounced (like poor Van Jones), there's a definite air of non-white-itude from the White House to the czars to the staffers. 

Given that, the optics of this {essentially all-white} campaign crew can be overlooked. 

PS- isn't it great to see all those little Crackers scampering about to ensure that Emperor Obama is re-elected to fulfill his Commie Destiny?

I've always thought Obama has had something against dark skinned blacks (I saw him marrying Michelle for the same reason he joined Rev Wright's church...for street cred). I think he sees himself being above the rest of us regular black folk.

320 In the breakneck pace of a campaign launch, “the [senior staff] who are doing the hiring are moving in a fast-paced environment trying to make multiple decisions at the same time, and they tend to hire people who they know or who come to them from people who they know,” the operative said. “And if you don’t take time out and say, ‘Let me expand the pool’ and bring in new and different people just to look at them, then you end up having an environment that is not as diverse.”

Shorter (and more truthful) answer:
We didn't hang with "people of colour" before. Why should we start now?

328 A room full of "daddy issues".  Twenty-somethings that don't want to grow-up.  They have no idea what groceries cost, what gas costs, what it costs to keep a roof over their heads or how much their "student loans" are costing.  They still ride on their parents insurance.  They don't know what self-reliance is.  And the only one who has mentioned it may be time for them to start taking care of themselves is more than likely their father(s).  Because he is getting tired of keeping up their sorry asses.  So they turn to Daddy O'bama who will give them free stuff and pay their loans.  Well f*ck them.  The free ride is over.

338 Translation: "Look, we don't know any black people, we don't know anyone who knows any black people, we don't even know anyone who KNOWS anyone who knows any black people. If you see any, send them to us, cause we can't even find any."
<!--more-->
If they'd have said "Look, we don't hire people by color. So far, no qualified black candidates have come to our attention. If any do, we'll hire them. We're post-racial and the racial make-up of our staff doesn't matter."

Unfortunately, they are too invested in identity politics, and diversity for its own sake is all important. So why don't they practice what they preach?

I'm loving this entire Alinsky "hold them to their own rules" on women, blacks and now dogs. Liberals come out on the wrong side of all these issues when they are held to the same standards they insist for conservatives.
