This is all sound and fury signifying fascism, kiddies. Marxine, the Congressional Racist Caucus, and the Community Organizer From the High-Yellow Lagoon all know black voters are locked down on the plantation and aren't going anywhere. Ever.

Maxine Waters to Obama: Pay More
CBS News reports Marxine also wonders why Barry doesn't drive his million dollar taxpayer-funded Canadian bus through 'hoods filled with folks that look like his daddy.U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) called on President Obama on Thursday to pay more attention to black Americans, saying she and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus are “not just frustrated with the president -– communities are hurting.”
“The economy, the loss of jobs, the pain is real. We’re talking about indisputable facts,” she said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“We’ve got to be in the discussion. We want to be part of the solution. We cannot continue to go on watching everybody talk about what the solutions are without us being included in it,” she said.
Citing already high unemployment and foreclosure levels that are intensified in the black community, Waters commented on growing frustrations that black Americans were being ignored by the administration.
“Take a look at this headline in the Wall Street Journal: ‘Obama aims to keep white voters on board,’ ” Waters said, holding up a copy of the paper. “Well, we want to be on board too.”
The comments piggybacked on remarks Waters made at a Detroit town-hall meeting on jobs two days ago, when she said the CBC was “getting tired” of continuing to support Obama as the economy continued to struggle.
Why isn’t Obama in black communities?
Democrats Rep. Maxine Waters of California, a central member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said Tuesday that "we don't know why" President Obama is not visiting black communities on his Midwestern bus tour, adding, "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired."
Waters, speaking at a freewheeling forum at Detroit's Wayne County Community College, suggested members of the CBC don't pressure Mr. Obama because their constituents are proud to have an African-American president, adding that "if we go after the president too hard, you're going after us."
"The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president, too," she went on to say. "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired. We're getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community. We don't know that."
The unemployment rate for African-Americans as of July was 15.9 percent, and it's significantly higher in Detroit. Waters told her audience Tuesday that when you "unleash us and you tell us you're ready to have this conversation, we're ready to have the conversation."
After Waters told the audience members of congress will act "when you tell us it's all right" to have a conversation with the president about these issues, an audience-member yelled, "it's all right!" After she said she wanted to give the president "every opportunity" to show what his plan is, someone yelled, "how long?"
"When you let us know it is time to let go, we'll let go," Waters added.
