What a dumb and arrogant thing to say…I almost lost respect for Travis Whatever….(his interviews are more often than not boring).

Jesus Christ these guys talked for an hour on CSPAN this morning, I watched it and you took this from it?? Way to gin up that black on black crime, Matt Schneider and Mediaite.

Tavis please admit the truth, you’ ve had gripes with the President since he refused your invitation to your Hip Hop Summit on C-Span. Get over it cry baby. Oh by the way,  how are your book sales? Repeat after me, OPPORTUNIST!!!!!

You do know that this forum doesn’t connect directly to Tavis, right?

Smiley was one of the longest holdouts in the Black community who supported Hillary, and took a tremendous amount of grief because of it.

Tavis Smiley: Obama Is First President In My Career Not To Invite Me To The White House

He ain’t invited Big Eddie , either .

Every time Big Eddie has been sprung from the Greybar Hotel , after paying his debt to society , there ain’t been no invite to the Casa Blanco .

Ahhhhhhhhhh I’m weepy eyed!

I didn’t know Sean Hannity received an invitation to the White House from BO!  Is this true?

If that’s true, he looks pretty smart now doesn’t he?

Aww, boo-hoo, Tav. Must be racism, you bet’cha.

None of these clowns have figured out that Obimbo is a user.

I don’t blame Obama for not inviting these two controversial and fringe personalities to the White House. He’s got enough enough trouble without loading on more.

That must be very disconcerting since Tavis claimed that he and the media all “work for Barack Obama”. 

Travis,after you and Cornell West bashed Obama the past few days,don’t expect one in the near future. http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/tavis-smiley-and-cornel-west-bring-their-poverty-tour-to-detroit

Racism.

When I read ”continued their media tour on C-Span this morning…” I had the best laugh I’ve had all week.  

If you ain’t in the Obama sycophant bag, you ain’t…….

I don’t know about him but I only invite business associates or friends to my house. 

Ditto

Watch for more stories like this one.  The smarter Democrats have figured out that Obama is unlikely to get re-elected.  Face it, if an election were held today, the Democrats would fare even worse than they did in last year’s midterm election, and that was the worst midterm defeat in modern history.   And more time won’t fix this mess: the better voters get to know Obama, the less the like his policies. 

In other words, you will hear more and more liberals making statements critical of Obama.  And if a viable alternative candidate emerges — Hillary or Al or Andrew — watch how fast they start jumping ship.

That is the most admirable thing Barack Obama has ever done

So it ain’t personal is it Tavis. B.S. Tavis haven’t done a darn thing for the Black Community. Take his bus and his hurt feelings and shovel it. Oh and 2012 -2016 you won’t be invited to the White House by President Obama either..

well, Travis when he is in campaign mode and he wants and needs you, you should just say sorry,NOT INTERESTED! By the way were starting a campaign for this friday the 12th to donate $20.12 to Hillary Clinton.com. We need someone in the white house who will FIGHT FOR US.

actually, obama and the democrats have better poll numbers than the opposition

Hay Tavis my buddy I haven’t been invited to the White House either. Come on over man and we will sit down and have a good cry. He’s the first President not to invite me to the White House. I always knew this bus tour was not about his so call concern for the black community.

Then why do polls show that a majority of American’s don’t think Obama deserves to be re-elected?

I didn’t see this C-Span segment, but whatever else they talked about they should have known that it would be quickly forgotten the moment they mentioned not getting an invite to the White House. Which leads me to believe that they are two hurt brothers who think they deserve a place on the national stage. A place given to them by President Obama.  How small they looked in that clip.  My advice to brothers like Tavis, and Mr. West.  If you want to be respected, and so do we all.  Then do something to earn some respect.  The first example that comes to my mind is “Corey Booker”, now that’s  a real strong positive Brother.

How’s the “White People Bad, Black People Good” tour coming along there Tavis? Tavis: rhymes with…. uh – something stupid.

FYI: Obama ain’t scared yer gonna stump for the Reps so you’ll have to get his attention some other way. Maybe a plush red velvet tuxedo or goat hoof platform shoes.

Face it bro, you’re an embarrassment to him.

that’s a different poll, michelle

and a different issue altogether

I had respect for Tavis until he seemed to show hate for President Obama. He has not been professional and to whine about not being invited. He should have known better. He did not think that President Obama had a chance to get into the White House and now that he has, you want to come. Oh no, brother not on this watch!

Yo Travis my brotha, it ain’t noth’n butta g thing.  Ya know what I’m say’n?  Peace out

Yo Travis my brotha, it ain’t noth’n butta g thing.  Ya know what I’m say’n?  Peace out

Wow, the biggest problem with the black community on full desplay. Bravo Tavis!

So, this is the first President ever to not invite him to the White House? Obama must be racist. If Travis has been critiquing Obama he must be racist. They are both racists. I guess that pretty much sums it up.

what a whiner.  A campaigner campaigns, a president should be too busy for such a small viewership.  Once he gets 3M viewers nightly, then the President will make him  a priority…

I wonder how long the lamest non-story of the year is going to be the feature story on Mediaite. 3 hours and counting…

Because Travis… you’re a toxic a-hole that will further drop his poll #’s if he is seen with you and you hate-filled bigoted rants.

WTF!! Didn’t get an invite Tavis? Well,… I,aaaaaaaaaaaaaahh dunno, guessing here — maybe, jusssst MAYBE it had something to do with this?

http://www.thegrio.com/opinion/httpwwwthegriocomopinionwhy-tavis-smiley-cant-win-when-it-comes-to-obama.php

http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/6314/2010-02-26.html

You know — when you criticize Dear Leader, you become less one of Dem and more one of us. Keep this up and they’ll call you Uncle Tom.

Uhm, Obama doesn’t need you Tavis, to connect to the Black community. So sorry, the next White president will have an opening for you though.

You don’t get it. No one gets it. THEY WANT to be “useful idiots”.  THEY WANT to be in Obama’s inner circle. They want to be his personal and unofficial advisers.  Obama knows their game that’s why they are being ignored.

There are polls showing the following:

He’s up in 16 swing states

He’s beating every Republican candidate INCLUDING the Generic Republican

He’s beating every Republican candidate in their OWN home states

That only 15% of the country blame him for the economy

That he is the most popular politician in the country and very well liked

My friends, there is going to be a lot of polls and a lot of chatter pointing to Obama’s political demise. It is
all BS and anyone getting giddy over it should wipe the smile off their faces. Pronto.

Yea only the polls that are favorable to Obama are correct, come on Michelle get with the program.

Tavis,
You haven’t been invited because you have no viewers, no ratings and what you say irrelevant.

You don’t move the news needle at all. You have no influence on the news agenda.

Obama’s people are just smarter in that respect than previous presidents who thought you really mattered.

Be thankful you are on a network where audience size doesn’t matter and there is no measurement of success. In the real world you would be jobless.

This is purely personal. They’re butt hurt that neither of them have invited to the White House so they’re lashing out at the President. Shallow silly people.  

Just a guess, but it’s probably got something to do with the fact that you’re kind of an a**hole Tavis.

Hey Tavis, dont feel bad. Obama may be the first president, but he wont be the last.

Perry-Rubio 2012.

It must be that damn half-white racist president we have in office.

When the people u supposedly advocate for the, poor and Black, tell u to get the hell out of town u are in bad shape.  The people of Detroit have spoken.  LOL http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/detroiters-protest-smiley-and-west-anti-obama-event-at-city-hall

Yes 51 percent say he shouldn’t be re-elected while 47% say he should. But, only 23% say republicans
in congress should be re-elected. Put it in perspective!

Super Committee: Already Bought?
Today we’ve learned the names of most of the Senators and
Representatives that will be on the Super Committee that will be
deciding how to find at least $1.2 trillion in cuts to the federal
budget. But is that going to lead to some truly equal deal that places
the needs of the American people first? Or is it all a charade, because
as Dylan Ratigan described it yesterday, our Congress is “bought.” The
Young Turks Ana Kasparian discusses.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

Anyone that doubts the good judgement of the POTUS, Smiley has just proven you wrong!

Tavis kept criticizing Obama so O blackballed him.  Fairly obvious to this neutral observer.

Fact: These two are a handicap and why would anyone want them around?

if u dont invite me to the white house POTUS, you are not fit for the second term. Oh by the way , I supported Hillary and switched over to you after Hillary Lost . I am happy u figure it out that, you dont need IDIOTS like me in the White House….because you noted for not backing  a looser like me….TRAVIS

WITH FRIENDS LIKE TAVIS SMILEY , OBAMA DONT  A BETTER ENEMY

It’s amazing how these two individuals cry foul when they are not invited into the white house; should you not be invited until one does something of value to help the poor. When last I heard both of these so-called members of the black intelligensia have done little except charge for speeches and run around in a bus acting as fit that will solve many of the social problems that now exist. Grow up fellas! If you guys would stop running your mouths and do something constructive maybe you would get in invite; besides your collective gifts of gab have not said anything that we already don’t know.

This is inexcusable and should not be tolerated!  Uh, wait . . . who is Tavis Smiley again?

A user???? You are crazy.  You need to join the tour that is going on with Tavis and Cornel.  You are just like them; crazy.

Another reason to vote for Obama.

Please, BEFORE Obama is elected he’s happy to be a frequent guest on Wild & Smiley, AFTER…not so much.

I thought Tavis handles this well here.  He’s not just talking about a PERSONAL invitation, he says he’s not even welcome to other press events.

Obama is an opportunist who doesn’t give a shit about anyone who helped him get elected, until it’s time for another election.  As Cornel suggested in his brief comment on that video.

and he’s done SO WELL without them?

Just as most of us have suspected all along: this little temper tantrum by Smiley & West has a personal basis.  They feel slighted by the President, their poor little feelings are hurt and now they are going to take it out on everyone and make sure they get some attention to feed their bruised egos in the process.  PLEASE ignore these imbeciles.

He’s a crybaby whose poor little feelings are hurt and he’s never gotten over the fact that Hillary Clinton was (1) a poor excuse for a candidate and (2) inferior to Barack Obama. 
You call that “smart”??  Wow.

And with that you’ve become a tool of the GOP.  How’s that GOP-controlled Congress working out for you?  Hope you’re happy with it because if you get your way, they’ll control the White House in 2012 as well.  I’d be fine with that if only people like you had to pay the price for that, but unfortunately we’d all have to suffer the consequences.

hay tavis and west…first of all the president is under no obligation to invite you 2 nutts into the white house…and untill you figure out what a comb is you wont be getting invited anywhere dr west….the don king look is so 1970s…and est untill you look next to you and call out tavis for taking all that money from wells fargo bank and tricking black folks into taking bad loans you should just shut the hell up…its really bad fellas when Steve (white folk suck-up) Harvey calls you uncle toms and you have the folks over @thegrio.com calling you out…President Obama doesnt have to anything but sit back and laugh at your antics..what are you asswipes supposed to be??? blackass baggers????….Obama doest need you….NOW GIT……..

Maybe Obama’s a racist.

Hillary Clinton is in no way inferior to Barack Obama.

Hillary is 10 times the man Obama is.  I’m not a fan of either of them but she’d probably govern much like her husband did, which would be far more tolerable than what Barack has done over the last 2.5 years.

Obama is like an immature girlyman bitch, always whining and never taking responsibility.  And he hates it when someone points out that he is nothing but a Failure as a Leader and Person.  Someone needs to bitchslap the idiot!

Tavis is certainly free to pay the $35K to get a pic with the pres. If he sells enough $35K tickets he might get an interview.

Think Tavis will take a run thru the GOP candidates?

Tavis & West need to realize went that envelop of 30 $35K dinner tickets comes in the mail, they need to go out and sell them and turn in the guest list and money.  You know just like your church raffle tickets.

I guess staying in a 6 bedroom, 6 bath home in Columbus Miss. built by Habitat is showing Poverty at its Best!!

Not smart at all. Look who won!!!!!!

Get over it Smiley!

Tavis or his sidekick Cornell should run for office themselves.  Instead of crying about an invitation from President Obama, they should run and then they will have the opportunity to implement all of the good plans they have.  Oh, I forgot, Tavis and Cornell do not have any solutions just lame complaints. 

“Perry-Rubio 2012.”   What is that?

You got it.

What good could he do with them?  Tavis has no solutions to anything, he just reiterates hard left TPs… West is a Marxist…what?

Tavis, get over your overblown sense of self importance and entitlement. If you really need to visit or be at the white house sooo bad, then declare and become a politician. As a matter of fact, declare and vie for the position of presidency. And until that is done successfully, please stop whinning like a Bitch. You aint nothing but a TAVIS SMILEY, period.
