Al Sharpton as a fiscal advisor? http://www.weeklysta...lks_663493.html This afternoon, President Barack Obama consulted with MSNBC host Al Sharpton, who's also assicated with the National Action Network (NAN), about the fiscal talks between the White House and Congress. At the same meeting, Obama also consulted with other "leaders of civil rights and civic organizations." Via the pool report: President Obama and Vice President Biden met with leaders of civil rights and civic organizations to discuss negotiations over how to avoid the fiscal cliff. The meeting lasted over an hour, and participants spoke to reporters outside the West Wing after they wrapped up. Per the White House, expected attendees included: * Peter Berns, The Arc * Sister Simone Campbell, NETWORK * Chad Griffin, Human Rights Campaign (HRC) * Wade Henderson, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) * Deepa Iyer National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) * Ben Jealous, NAACP * Marc Morial, National Urban League * Janet Murguia, National Council of La Raza (NCLR) * Barry Rand, AARP * Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, MomsRising.org * Rev. Al Sharpton, National Action Network (NAN) * Aaron Smith, Young Invincibles * Rev.

Well, Mitt and Ryan proved that BO doesn't know jack about how the economy works, so it's a fine peer group he's assembled to discuss the issue. Sorta like going to Herald Square in Manhattan to discuss one's portfolio structure and its position in long term debentures with the random occupants of the park benches. Bring a bag of popcorn and feed the pigeons. Whatever they come up with, it'll be "fair", you can count on it... and know we'll be paying for it.

Got rid of them on an edit. I don't like untidy posts either.

Some sites embed stickies that carry over on a c&p. I've encountered that a lot too. Happy Saturday in the new worker's paradise - America!
Keukasmallies Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Any advisory panel that includes Rev. Al Dullton is sure to plumb the depths of insight and present a spectrum of options fully acceptable to BO. All hail Rev. Dullton, ambulance chaser par excellence.
