Washington – The White House says President Barack Obama will travel to Philadelphia and New York next week to continue pressing his energy policies and to attend an annual meeting of a civil rights group headed by activist Al Sharpton.

The president will travel first to Philadelphia on Wednesday to hold a town hall meeting at Gamesa Technology Corp., a Philadelphia area manufacturer of wind turbines.
He will then continue to New York for the 20th anniversary of the National Action Network. Major topics at the meeting are education, health care and youth violence. Sharpton has also drawn attention to double-digit unemployment in the black community.
For the sitting President of America to sit with the likes of Al Sharpton is a cause of great concern. Have we all forgotten the role that Al Sharpton played during that sad chapter in American history. Marching at the front of mobs yelling “kill the Jews” , spewing nefarious words of vehemence and hate at the Cato funeral against the “Jewish Diamond merchants ” ( with the ” Honorable” David Dinkins sitting at his side applauding this violent diatribe ) and encouraging mobs to take to the streets and cause civil disorder. Have we forgotten the Korean boycott , the Tawana Brawley incident ?
It would behoove the President of our country to seek out more appropiate people to associate with. Legitimatizing the likes of Al Sharpton adds another sad chapter to the actions of the President.
I think it’s funny that he complains about black unemployment and at the same time uses their money to by nice cloths and rolex
There is a old saying: “If you sleep with dogs, you get fleas”.
This obama guy has met with the lowest of the low. He associates with real garbage, low-life ‘people’.
Flush him down in 2012.
(Maybe he’ll find his birth certificate in the cess pool)
This man has taken all the honor and respect from the presidency. He is just a you know what eating fried chick with his hands. He has no class and shames the office of president of our great country.
and he says he is a friend of the Jews. obama is one bad person
Carol Costello of CNN had the chutzpah the other day, to render a personal opinion, pertaining to the potential Presidential candidacy of Donald Trump; she stated in so many words, that Trump was not qualified. However, when that rabble rouser Al Sharpton ran for President in 2004, Costello was notably silent. I guess that she has two different standards. Let us also not forget, that former Mayor Ed Koch met with Sharpton, and stated that “he was a true friend”. Also, Caroline Kennedy met with Sharpton, when she was considering running for office. In 2004, not one of the potential democratic candidates for President, had the guts to bring up Sharpton’s sordid past. A leopard never changes its spots!
#1 You have written the perfect response to this story. Let me add that the story shows just how low Mr. Obama will stoop to curry favor with the black community. Not even an ex President should be in the same room with Al Sharpton and worse make a trip to meet with him. The leftist black radical in Obama is rising to the surface. I for one have not forgotten the riots of August 1991 and Al Sharpton’s racist and anti Jewish role in them…. or any other of his shameful stunts.
Let’s not forget that Sharpton’s harassment lead a NY State Trooper to commit suicide of the slander of Tawanna Brawley. The girl who could not be manipsipated…
That picture is absolutely the best ever….. Wow!
the president of the united states of america is eating with his fingers what does that tell u abou t our PRESIDENT??????
Obama is unfit to be the President. I hope Americans realize this and give him the boot at the next elections.
Sharpton and Obama is a team worhty to lead the new democratic republic of Lybia!
seating in oval office in Washington with out a jacket that’s even worse!!!!
the man is hungry. let him eat. and give some to “Rev” Al to. he is getting jealous.
