My Black/Hispanic Brother’s Keeper: These Companies Fund Obama Racism Against White Males; Trayvon Martin Parents @ Announcement

By Debbie Schlussel
You can just hear Cain Obama asking G-d, “Am I my White Brother’s Keeper?” And like the original Cain, he’d be asking that in denial.
Where’s White Waldo? . . .
Obamasbrotherskeeper

Do you shop at Sam’s Club or eat at McDonald’s? Do you pay with an American Express Card? Do you watch the NBA on TV? Do you click on Bloomberg.com? Do you use Deloitte for accounting, taxes, or other business help? Do you drink coffee at any of Magic Johnson’s Starbucks franchises? Will you shop at Johnson’s retail development soon to go up on the former Michigan State Fair grounds? If you do any of these, you’re helping to fund Barack Obama’s racist program to give Black and Hispanic boys a leg up, while White males need not apply. Johnson, the NBA, and the Bloomberg Foundation are among those helping and/or funding Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative. The full list is later in this post.
Incredibly, the Obama Administration has the chutzpah to call this initiative, which excludes Whites, “Opportunity for All.” Really?
Normally, an initiative like this would be illegal and against the law . . . if it were paid for by the federal government (programs like this must be “narrowly tailored” to right specific wrongs, etc.). So, Obama got around that by getting several foundations to chip in $200 million to help Blacks and Hispanic boys and not White males. And that is in addition to the $150 million these groups have already spent toward this goal. Under the initiative, businesses and foundations will make investments and support programs to help Black and Hispanic males go to college and graduate school, keep them out of poverty, and help them get jobs. But if you are a White male, stay in your parents’ basement because Obama and his business cronies aren’t in your corner.
Oh, and by the way, Obama’s son Trayvon Martin’s parents were in the audience at Friday’s announcement, as if race had anything to do with why Martin–before he died–was a constant disciplinary problem at school, attacked a bus driver, and was involved with drugs. And if race had something to do with it, it wasn’t because of “racism” but because, unfortunately, many Black parents–and now White parents, too–take their kid’s side against authority no matter how bad their kid is. I suppose that’s cause for reward and booty from America’s wealthiest foundations and corporations.
According to the Obama White House, the following foundations are funding the racist, bigoted inititiative:
The Annie E. Casey Foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The California Endowment, The Ford Foundation, The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, The Open Society Foundations, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and The Kapor Center for Social Impact. Many of the foundations are members of the Executives’ Alliance to Expand Opportunities for Boys and Men of Color – a coalition of philanthropic institutions committed to leveraging philanthropy’s role in improving life outcomes for boys and men of color.

In addition to the leadership from the philanthropic community, the My Brother’s Keeper initiative will leverage participation from the business community and elected officials to support this cross-sector effort. As part of today’s announcement, President Obama will meet with a number of business leaders – including Joe Echevarria of Deloitte, Magic Johnson of Magic Johnson Enterprises, Glenn Hutchins of Silver Lake Partners, Adam Silver of the National Basketball Association and Thomas Tull of Legendary Entertainment – to discuss ways in which they and their companies can work with the Initiative to improve the life outcomes of boys and young men of color.
The President will also be joined today by public sector leaders including General Colin Powell, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Honorable Michael Bloomberg. Additionally, several other prominent members of the business community—including Rosalind Brewer of Sam’s Club, Ken Chenault of American Express, and Don Thompson of McDonald’s—have already expressed their support for this effort, and the White House expects additional commitments in the coming days and months.
Hmmm . . . if you eat Big Macs and oppose racism, maybe it’s time to start your diet. And American Express? Time to leave home without it.

Saudis Demand Punishment for McDonald's Toy that 'Insults Muhammad'

A very interesting post from http://www.jihadwatch.org/ about McDonald's in Saudi Arabia. This follows this post about a child being punished in Saudi Arabia. This follows this article about American energy independence and preventing money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and read this very interesting book HERE!

Saudis Demand Punishment for McDonald's Toy that 'Insults Muhammad'


Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com) I discuss the latest toy that is angering Muslims:



Saudi Arabians are angry at a McDonald's toy which they say mocks their prophet Muhammad. According to a report appearing today (5/27/12) on the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com, the McDonald's fast food restaurant "abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name 'Muhammad.'"



The toy consists of a blue superhero figurine (apparently a Power Ranger Samurai). It stands on one leg, and, when the lever is pressed, it pounds on the base with the other leg. According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figurine stomps its foot, is really the name "Muhammad" written several times in circles (click here for pictures).



The toy had been distributed a few days before Saudi children and their parents began to take note of the name. Soon thereafter, Saudi Muslims launched several campaigns against McDonald's in "response to the savage attacks on the noble Prophet," under banners like "Help your Prophet!" and "Together in support of the Prophet."



Saudis, "demanding the strongest possible punishment for the restaurant" and insisting that "they will not be silent until this is realized," further complained how such an obvious insult could pass the supervision of the management at McDonalds.



In response, "Saudi McDonald's" has withdrawn the toy from all its restaurants, "in order to safeguard against any accusations or misunderstandings."

All The President's 'Guarantees'

A very interesting post from http://www.hughhewitt.com/ about Obamacare and other broken campaign promises. This follows this post about welfare abuses in California and this article about the recent news about the ban offshore drilling which would encourage American energy independence This is a key issue to prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela.

All The President's 'Guarantees'

Sign-Up Two audio clips have received more air time on my radio show this year than any others. The first is Barbara Boxer demanding Army General Michael Walsh call her "senator," not "ma'am."



The second is President Obama telling America: "Here's a guarantee that I have made. If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you've got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor."



3M announced this week it is getting out of the business of insuring its retirees. Within a couple of years, all of those former employees will be pushed into Medicare or given a payment towards the cost of insurance obtained from the new exchanges established under Obamacare. There is no guarantee that their coverage will be as good as what they have now, and of course no guarantee that they will have the same doctor.



This follows the announcement from The Principal Financial Group that it is exiting the health insurance business, waiving goodbye to its 840,000 covered insureds. Those insureds will not by definition have the same insurance next year, and the impact on their doctor choice is yet to be seen.



Harvard Pilgrim, an uinsurer doing business in New England, told 22,000 seniors last week that they cannot have their old Medicare Advantage plans back as the company is out of that business next year.



And McDonald's is debating whether to continue its "mini-med" policies for its hourly workers.



These are just the first wave of changes --often drastic and expensive-- which will impact Americans' health insurance between now and the end of the year. The changes are coming even though all Americans were "guaranteed" by the president that Obamacare would leave them with exactly the same policy and doctor as they had before the massive law's massive changes kicked in.



So, do you count that a presidential lie? If not a lie, how do you characterize it?



When Team Obama announced that the so-called "stimulus" would keep unemployment below 8% they made a huge, credibility-crushing mistake, but it wasn't accompanied by the "g-word."



And a promise about unemployment is general, not specific. There's always going to be some unemployment as capitalism requires it. The president couldn't guarantee that everyone would keep their job --he'd have been laughed from the podium. So that prediction couldn't be classified as a lie, though it was terrible forecasting and set the tone for two tears of wildly wrong prognostications on the economy, leading up to the wildest of all --"Recovery Summer."



But President Obama did guarantee everyone would keep exactly the health insurance and exactly the doctor they had in 2009. And he did so over and over again.



I asked my audience on Wednesday if this "guarantee" constituted a lie, and they divided, though a majority said "yes" and in unequivocal terms.



All the callers agreed that whatever the characterization of the president's speech, the obvious and continuous breech of his pledge unfolding before our eyes constitutes a major blemish on his presidency. Millions voted for the president on the promise of a different sort of politics, but then he broke that trust and in a way that profoundly and negatively impacts them personally. Obama's approval numbers are plummeting, and it isn't just the economy driving them down. As Obamacare rolls across the land, crushing expectations and changing the way Americans have received their health care and from whom they have received it, the backlash will grow.



As America begins to vote --and I filled out my ballot for Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina by mail Wednesday--the public is outraged by many things, and the tide rolling in looks to many to be a massive rebuke to the Democrats' profligacy with the public's money and fecklessness with regards to the growth of government.



But upset with and over Obamacare is a passion driving millions to the polls, a passion that is growing with every week and every story about the broken promises of reform and the upheavals unleashed on hard-working people who did not elect Obama so he could turn over their health care and did not send a Congress back to shatter the world's best medical-delivery system.



Voters wanted some fixes to the health care system, some improvements, especially to the safety-net and especially with regard to pre-existing condition exclusions, but they did not want what they got. Indeed they pleaded with the Congress to stop the massive tear-down that resulted, the 1,200 page bill that hadn't been read, the first consequences of which are just now arriving in the mail.



Voters jammed town halls in August 2009 to say "Stop."



They elected Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey in November of 2009 to shout "Stop."



In Massachusetts, voters filled the seat of liberal icon Ted Kennedy with Republican Scott Brown in an effort to scream "Stop."



The president wouldn't stop, and now the voters get to file their response in a way that cannot be ignored.



Never has a Congress deserved a pummeling more than this one. "Repeal and replace" is a platform, not a slogan, and with every day its possibility grows. To make it come to pass, do not vote for a single Democrat for any office. When a party betrays the promises its leader makes, that party should be punished. If politics has any guarantees at all, it ought to be this: Break your word, and voters will break your party.

McDonald's Ad Promotes Teenage Homosexuality

An interesting story from www.lifesitenews.com about McDonald's promoting homosexuality. This follows this post about the president's approval ratings. For more interesting stories like this click here to follow this blog.

McDonald's Ad Promotes Teenage Homosexuality

By James Tillman and John-Henry Westen
France, June 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A new McDonald's ad in France, part of their large "come as you are" ad campaign, features a homosexual teen speaking sweetly to his male paramour before he is forced to closet his emotions before a presumably insensitive father.
"We see McDonald's decision to backhand hundreds of millions of traditional family values people," Bill Johnson, President of the American Decency Association, told LifeSiteNews, "and align themselves with promoting the godless behavior of a few."
In the ad, a boy sitting in McDonald's receives a call from his lover while his father orders a meal. He tells his lover that he was thinking about him, and that he misses him, before he hangs up because his father is coming.
After his father sits down next to him, his father tells him that it is a shame that he is in an all-male class, because otherwise he would be able to get all the girls.
This is not McDonald's first homosexualist activism. In 2008, McDonald's paid $20,000 dollars to become an official "organizational ally and corporate partner" of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
In the same year, McDonald's also helped sponsor the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade; Richard Ellis, vice president of communications for McDonald's USA, was also appointed to the board of directors of the NGLCC.
Yet because of a boycott started by the American Family Association on July 3rd of that year, Richard Ellis left the board of the NGLCC and McDonald's said that it did not plan to renew its membership with the NGLCC.
Bill Johnson called the new television spot "one of the most bewildering kinds of advertisements when you consider the fact that so many Americans across this country have done business with McDonald's."
He said that they were "testing, testing once again the marketplace, by running obvious[ly] pro-gay ads," despite their previous conflict with pro-family activists.
