Obama To Congressional Black Caucus: ‘Stop Complaining, Stop Grumbling, Stop Whining’

video
» 146 comments

Last night, President Barack Obama spoke at an annual dinner hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus where he went after Republicans for not getting behind the American Jobs Act, and called on his allies to “march with [him] and press on” rather than “complaining.”

The president touted his economic accomplishments while admitting that the United States’ economic problems were never going to be solved overnight. He once again called for Republicans to come together with him and pass the jobs bill he proposed in his address to a joint session of Congress several weeks ago. He argued that his plan would include tax cuts for thousands of small businesses, so he didn’t understand why the Republicans would be so opposed to it.

Obama directly addressed the crowd and asked for their assistance in getting in passed.

I need your help. We have to do more to put people to work right now. We’ve got to make that everyone in this country gets a fair shake, and a fair shot, and a chance to get ahead. And I know we won’t get where we need to go if we don’t travel down this road together. I need you with me.

Towards the end of his speech, Obama amped up the rhetoric and made his case for continuing to fight for the bill.

I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on. I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC.

    Well, at least now the black community knows what he thinks of them. I’m surprised he didn’t use the adjective “shiftless.” All he wants from blacks is their VOTE- and they’d darn well better get off their a$$es and re-elect him (according to Barack!).

    The Honorable Alcee L. Hastings …

  • NDanielson

    What are the ethically challenged Alcee Hastings, Laura Richardson, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, and Jessie Jackson Jr., to name a few, even doing on the CBC?

    In 1979, Alcee Hastings was appointed a federal judge for the Southern District of Florida by President Jimmy Carter. Two years later, Hastings was indicted on charges of conspiring to solicit a bribe from two defendants awaiting sentencing in his court. Hastings was unanimously acquitted of the charges in 1983. The Judicial Council of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, however, soon launched a separate investigation into the matter which lasted nearly four years. Ultimately, the council (which was led by former Watergate prosecutor John Doar and comprised of the active appeals court judges for that circuit and three U.S. District judges) found that Hastings not only had solicited a bribe, but also repeatedly lied during his trial. Following this report, the House Judiciary Committee approved seventeen articles of impeachment against Hastings. Sixteen dealt with the bribery case, while one centered around Hastings’ improper revelation of sensitive government information obtained through a federal wiretap in 1985…

    CBC…est. in 1969…well you get the idea…right?
     
    Your problem Jack is you like to accuse any organizations with the word “Black” or “Negro” as being racist when its obvious you lack the facts which clearly explains the purpose & history of these organizations.  For goodness sake, it’s called the United Negro College Fund, the word “NEGRO” didn’t set off any bells or whistles??  Of course not, the way you see it you can say whatever you want and none of the other clowns that comment on this site would challenge you…in fact they simply go along and hit “Like”…right Pablo?

    So, serious question for all my Black friends out there…do you think Obama was talking down to y’all, trying to push you around because of your skin color? 

    That’s they way it comes off to me. 

    I’d be pretty darned pissed if someone who wanted my vote told me to shut up and do as your told.

    Would Obama dare treat any other race of people like that? “Hey Mexicans…shut up and do what your told!” Nah…I don’t think so.

    It’s always funny seeing white people determine who’s a “REAL” black man and who isn’t. You baggers have probably met 2 or 3 black people in your lives, but you somehow know everything about their culture. It’s a good thing we have the baggers to translate black culture to the rest of us white people.

    President Obama told a select group in a position of power, the black caucus, to stop crying and use that power to help him pass legislation he believes will remedy economic woes in the black community.

    That is different than the attempts of some to have the government ignore issues in the black community by chalking whatever problems up to their perceived lazy, whining, ways of, not just the black caucus but, the black community in America.

  • Anonymous

    Is it wise to fire up the CBC to get them passionate and emotional about the issues they hold dear? It seems like that’s when many of them get undesirable media attention that backfires on their agendas.
    If the CBC were to quit grumbling and whining and present reasoned arguments, they might discover their arguments aren’t quite a valid as they once thought. Emotion, hyperbole and demonizing are, too often, their strongest points.
    While I agree that the CBC should “stop complaining, stop grumbling” and “stop whining”, the President might want to take a bit of that advice himself.

  • Wildorth

    This is offensive in a very big way,It reminds me of a guy who gets his ass kicked by everyone but goes home and beat his wife. The truth is the whinning, complaining and crying is coming from the white house
    with no real meaningful results.while these insulting remarks may play well to racist white audience that he was playing to it was in very bad taste. There are more than enough situations where tough talk would be appropriate and this was one of them. might consider starting with Joe wilson, joe Walsch, mark helprin, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck Etc. Black america are not the presidents children and he would be wise to remember that even teeth and tongue fall out sometimes. There really is a very thin line between love and hate. This is really a classic case of kicking the dog

    The black people are being slapped by this guy and they don’t even realize it. He keeps using them to vote for him and does nothing for them in return. He tells them to stop complaining, stop the whining and get out there and vote for him! WOW, he’s somewhat insulting, to think that they’re so stupid that they will vote for him again when he has ignored them for three years. Kinda like vote for him, go out and walk the sideswalk for him but at the end, he won’t even go to their neighborhoods! Talk about thinking that they are so stupid that he can use them again! What a shame when he uses his own race to promote himself. He also sounds like he is treating them like a slave owner. Get out there and work your ass off for me and maybe I’ll throw you a bone.

    I’m certain that there are members of their caucus that would make that exact argument. We could hold some interesting debates on that, with many different views represented. However, the question was dealing with whether what President Obama said would be construed as derogatory to blacks.

  • Tcm66

    President Obama is going to tell the CBC to stop whining because catering to thier needs will not win him the election is 2012. The president knows that the CBC is invested in him emotionally, like thier first love, and will not turn away from him. Quite frankly, they have no where else to turn.  Ms. Waters can tell the people to let her loose but that is empty talk, since what hammer does she have on the president? Are the people going to do anything to hurt the presidential chances? The answer is no, since the belief is going to be that black issues will be dealth with if he wins again. The president is not going to cater to a group that is solidily in his corner, he does need to waste his time. It is not fun to hear but in the end it is about winning, and getting those independents to vote for him. The president will go to the small towns and farmers and the urban areas will be ignored unless he needs a pick me up. You will see the president more in Iowa and the Midwest, rural Virginia, northern Virginia (yeah check out that group there)  rather than Watts. That is the reality the CBC is going to have to face.

    I know you are just cracking wise with a rhetorical question that you know can’t possibly be answered. I would never mention the name of anyone I know on a blog where there are so many trolls and stalkers. I’m not that dumb. And I will also say that even though people may not like me because I’m not a fan of Obama, that doesn’t mean that I hold a grudge against anyone because of the color of their skin. I’ve spent so much of my life amongst Blacks that I’m very at home being with them. As a kid I moved to a great town that was around 40% Black and the very first kid I became friends with was a great guy who happened to be Black. I really enjoyed my time there. When my son was home for the past summer, his best friend stayed over the house several nights and had dinner with us and he happens to be Black. Also, I repaired another one of his friend’s computers for him, free of charge, a repair that would have cost him $300.00 if the Geek Squad did the work, and he’s a nice kid that happens to be Black. So when I preface a question with “my Black friends” I’m being genuine. I understand how it is that you all would instinctively root for and defend Obama no matter what, and I don’t hold it against you at all. Obama knows he has you in his back pocket too and he’s using you all. The guy is a cunning manipulator and a charmer. It’s election season, so now he’s going to start paying attention to you again, but after the election, should he get another term…get back in line.

    Not only that but there’s also an “us against them” connotation in his CBC message.

    That’s how he does it with everything, pits people against people. However he’s only part of the problem. Our biggest problem are the stupid people in America that actually can’t see how he plays them. Wheather it’s Obama or the next smoke and mirrior guy, the same people will fall for it again. Now that’s the real problem, stupid Americans!

  • Wuzupchuck

    In case no one has noticed…their are people of color in ALL walks of life.  From black business owners, astronauts, judges, and the “President” of the most powerful county in the world.  The time for special treatment is OVER.  Until all races in this country decide to just be “American”, racism will be alive and well.  I once asked a black friend this question:  If February is black history month when is white history month?  he said ” You have the other eleven months”.  We both laughed, but then agreed that as long as we put race tags on holidays, groups, college funds etc. we just keep racism going and going.  Why can’t we all just get along as Americans, without having to put something in front of it.

    Obama had a freudian slip of the tongue at this speech………

    He just finished saying billionaires and had Jews on his mind. I guess he was paying attention to Reverend Wrights sermons after all.

    “….Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC.”
    What a patronizing statement for the President of the United States to make to a group of loyal supporters. Do they even know how disrespectful he is? Maybe he forgot he wasn’t a community organizer for a moment…

    I would like for him to use this quote addressing the unions, and a room full of white folk the next time he swings through the midwest and see how well that goes over.

    OBAMO: A big-eared, cigarette-smoking Leftist DEMAGOGUE.

    Waters: Obama would never tell the Jews or the gays to stop complaininghttp://hotair.com/archives/2011/09/26/waters-obama-would-never-tell-the-jews-or-the-gays-to-stop-complaining/

    Obama is right. Nobody likes whiners. And he is right to complain he inherited a car in a ditch.

    Wheels just keep on spinning.

    Yes but the fact that they overlook it, is detrimental to their livelyhood. Unemployment for blacks under Obama is worst then any other president. The same goes to the Hispanics, he dangles the carrot in front of their face by pretending to be interested in immigration and he has done nothing to advance it. This man has proven to be the quintessential politician, but not for the good of the nation but to divide us like no other president has ever done. If Obama voters put aside that he is black and in fact have given him more of a pass on his screw ups, Obama would be a one term president. However most if not all of Obama voters will not concede that they were had and scammed by the media in packaging and promoting Obama as a highly intelligent man. Blacks should not vote for him because he is black, which by the way Obama knows that they will, they should vote for someone that will improve their life and livelihood.

    What you said doesn’t just apply to the CBC or black voters, it applies to Obama’s entire base.  

    Anyone who is “disappointed” in Obama for not pushing a stronger liberal agenda, well, they can just  stay home on Election Day and let Romney or Perry get elected, and he will make Obama look like Ralph Nader.  

    A half a loaf is a helluva lot better than nothing… and anyone who deep down didn’t realize that “change you can believe in” was going to be relatively incremental, as opposed to revolutionary, just isn’t paying attention to this country’s political climate.

    Maxine Waters has taken Obama’s comments pretty much the same way myself and others on this thread have:

    (Politico) — Rep. Maxine Waters on Monday called President Barack Obama’s comments to black Americans that they should stop complaining “a bit curious” and said she doesn’t “know who he was talking to.”
    The California Democrat told CBS’s “Early Show” the president would never have addressed other communities like gays or Jews or Hispanics in the way he did at the annual awards dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday when he told the audience to “stop complaining.”
    “I don’t know who he was talking to, because we’re certainly not complaining,” said Waters
    …Waters said she found some of the language Obama used “not appropriate” and said it “surprised me a little bit.”

    I think it servers Maxine’s best interest to go and try to rally the troops, so to speak, in this dispute with The President. His comments were addressing a political body which is composed of blacks, but if she can stretch that a bit and turn it into an attack on all blacks, not just the CBC, it works to her advantage. After all, one might surmise that Maxine Waters recent loose cannon persona in large part played the catalyst to President Obama’s remarks. To her, it probably felt as if he was speaking directly to her.

    As for the other matter, of whether he would be so harsh with other prominent groups, I think it raises a good question. Here is my take. I think he is a bit frustrated with this image many have crafted depicting him, being the first black president, as the lone arbiter of the fate of blacks in America. On the one hand he faces more scrutiny concerning the condition of blacks because he is the first black president, but on the other hand he would undoubtedly face strong criticism, as the president of all of America, if he single handedly pushed forward an agenda tailored to favor blacks. In reality the situation is a bit more complex. In reality you need a mandate. You need backing. You need support.

    I think President Obama is upset that he is being criticized by people, who in his mind, should be providing him the support he needs to help overcome the conditions they are criticizing him for. Maxine Waters can tell the Tea Party to go to hell, but at the end of the day that’s not doing anything more than getting a cheap pop, at the most. The black caucus can throw out the occasional complaint about black unemployment, but once again that’s not doing anything. These are elected leaders who actually have the power to at least try something beyond talking. That is what President Obama is asking them to do.

    I mentioned the word “mandate” earlier. I think this is something black communities in America have struggled with. When blacks suffer unemployment it is treated as a fact of life in the political world. When whites experience the same thing there is a movement by people, organizations, and politicians to address it. They establish a mandate. We all know the history of institutionalized racism and voting discrimination in this country. A lot of blacks have been jaded concerning the political system as a result. Despite that, blacks as a whole are becoming more involved in the political process, but there is still a bit of progress to be made on that front. “Yes we can,” isn’t just a fancy slogan to chant on the way to the polling booth. It seems for some people, once the lever was pulled, the saying changed from “Yes we can,” to “Okay Obama. You’ve got it.” I think the black caucus has adopted this attitude, which has the President upset. Given the position they have taken, as the black caucus, this is the group that should be spearheading the movement to turn black votes into a meaningful mandate. They could learn from The Tea Party in that regard. The Tea Party knows how to sell a mandate! The CBC should be out there educating their constituents on the power of the mandate, building that grassroots support for demanding that Washington address issues effecting blacks, demanding (as opposed to crying) change in these areas, drafting legislation, and refusing to be ignored until the issues have been satisfied. That is what The CBC needs to be doing instead of wondering why the president of the whole country hasn’t moved unilaterally in favor of one segment of the constituents he serves.

    The President may have touted his personal economic accomplishments which are obviously very good
    but the social, economic and political status of black america are very much in radical decline as evidenced by the facts and to say other wise is being in denial and simply false by all measurements.
    The president can’t point to a single indicator where black america faired the same or improved in the past three years. in fact, black america has had to absorb the fallout from the retaliation of his election and policies to include his lack of sound judgement and leadership. It is unfortunate and many of us are sadden by it but the fact is todate his administration has been all fluff and no stuff.So using the threat of the alternative being the boogie man rings hollow.being presented with the choice to choose betwen two evils is akin to saying black failure taste better than white failure so “drink the kool-aid”The fact that Al Sharpton concurred with the presidents tone and very poor choice of words should surprise no one and
    most of all black people because they have seen this movie many times and the plot is always the same
    after all being raped, robbed, sold and killed is no reason to complain, whine or cry. so yes put on your marching shoes and wear out some more shoe soles that you can’t afford since it has worked so well for you in the past

    When the CBC whines, complains, grumbles, or marches with the prez, they always have their hands out. Maybe they should try something new, like self-improvement.

    Today Maxine Waters said no one is complaining except the extreme fringe calling themselves the TEA(Terrifying Errant Activist-TEA) party. The president’s base is still functioning and pooling resources for his run against whom-ever is finally selected. I agree with Mitch Daniels, these TEA/GOP/Republican contenders are desperate as the president will trounce any of them now and in the election. The president’s base is slowly watching carefully every contender nationally as well as locally and then they will make their choices known in November 2012! Hmmmmm….bank on it!

    I agree I think the african american population should stop complaining and do something to change this economy by not voting on Obama again. His skin color doesn’t matter- get over it! his policies blow and do not work.

  • Plantationfree

    During enslavement, the mulatto child of the white slavemaster was often reared to take over control of the plantation upon his father’s retirement. He was reared to perpetuate the policies of the plantation—not to free those enslaved. Those who were enslaved (if blind) believed that they had an ally in the white (big) house because he was “part us”. Those who were enslaved who were wide-awake recognized the son of the slavemaster for who he was–the son of the slavemaster.

    The blind slaves were quickly brought up to speed however, when the mulatto son was rewarded with the overseer’s whip and with great pride was given the opportunity to whip the slaves to show them who was boss.

    Obama has set no new precedent. This dynamic goes back to the founding of the american so-called republic. 

    The intelligent enslaved Africans did not wait for the son of the slavemaster to “better their working conditions on the plantation”. They freed themselves from the plantation and waged war against the slavemaster and his son—until the plantation was burned to the ground.

    There are no racist white organizations that are organized by the color of their skin in mainstream life in America, not one. If there were, they’d be booed off the stage unlike the CBC which has some kind of special dispensation to organize around skin. Luckily, white folks show no interest in doing so so knock off the racist white remarks. The CBC are the racists you’re looking for so don’t strain yer eyes.
