Bill Cosby Whacks Rush Limbaugh for Wanting Obama to Fail
Bill Cosby appeared on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday with Candy Crowley, who asked him about President Obama disappointing minorities, including blacks and gays. Cosby acknowledged Obama hadn't done everything minorities wanted, but blamed conservatives for an unprecedented blockage of his agenda. He also claimed Obama would get it right in his (obviously victorious) second term.
"The people who are supposed to be working -- even for another party -- didn't care about the American people. They wanted to get him," Cosby complained. "When people make statements like, 'I hope he fails,' you can't color that any other way except the way it's said."
Crowley was asking this question from the left, not from the viewpoint of Obama's conservative critics, but his leftist ones like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West:
CROWLEY: You know that there has been some disappointment in the African- American community, some disappointment in the lesbian-gay community, some disappointment for those sort of on the lower end of the economic ladder, that the president hasn't done enough, that he got into office and went too middle of the road. Do you find anything that he has done that disappoints you?
COSBY: I'm disappointed that people who don't look at the woes and the trouble given to this man, people blatantly speaking out against his color, wasting time, starting up new stories about whether or not he was born here, saying things that they can't prove. And this man -- I feel sometimes -- not all the time -- that it's like watching -- his job is -- people want to make it as difficult as the one that Sisyphus had.
And then when you see that he made promises and said things, the people who were supposed to be working with him didn't. The people who are supposed to be working -- even for another party -- didn't care about the American people. They wanted to get him.
When people make statements like, "I hope he fails," you can't color that any other way except the way it's said. And yes, OK, gays, lesbians, blacks, illegal aliens -- pardon me -- people like that are right. It didn't happen. But look at why it didn't happen. It's a man trying to go about doing his job, and a ton of other people voting against him and regardless of what he says.
Crowley tried to suggest that the opposing party is routinely trying to block the president's agenda, but Cosby wasn't having that line. Everybody knows, he claimed, that Obama is getting worse treatment.
CROWLEY: Isn't that kind of, though, the definition of politics and how --
COSBY: No, no --
CROWLEY: -- Washington doesn't always work with the parties?
COSBY: No, this was worse. This was worse. And everybody knows it was worse. And I think that this second term is one where we are really going to see a man who gets it, knows it. And it's going to be better, period.
CROWLEY: So you're confident there will be a second term?
COSBY: I am more than confident because he knows now who to say no to. He knows now who to say, I don't care what you say, this is going to happen. And I believe he is for the people.

Yeah, Bill, it's too bad we have this big messy democracy, as Obama says, and he can't just do a Ramses and proclaim "So let it be written; so let it be done!"
And just what do you think his "job" IS, anyway, that people aren't letting him do?
And I think that this second term is one where we are really going to see a man who gets it, knows it. And it's going to be better, period.
Really, Bill? What is he going to do in his "second term" about that "big messy democracy" that so restricts him from what he wants to do? Declare himself Caesar?
On another note, this is the classic "soft bigotry of low expectations." Obama was "learning" in his first term; give him another term so he can improve.
Like the guy on the radio said his woman co-worker told him about voting for Obama again: He's our first black president; he deserves another chance.

The first term wasn't a great as it could've been because Republicans were out to stop his agenda and harm the American people. Besides, he inherited Bush-43's mess, yadda-yadda-yadda.
The second term will be great because he's learned how to be a President.

He got aggravated, and said that most Americans 'knew how hard he worked for them'!!!
Yeah, and you're right, we KNOW what the results of his 'work' are...............and if ol' Huxtable wants to see the REAL results of Baraka's 'work', then we SHOULD give him another term, by all means!!! And it WILL be by all means..................there won't be any of them left afterwards!!!

Bill Cosby is not 180 degrees out of phase with anything and he is not senile. He is a liberal. He has always been a liberal. He always will be a liberal. He is however, a liberal who shows an occasional flash of common sense, like Juan Williams. And if you think Cosby is on our side, you'd better think again. The only thing that matters for Cosby is color of the skin.

Submitted by killa37 on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 12:55pm.
Misterbee, I don't know what ol' Huxtable's political persuasions were earlier in his life - he advocated responsibility, dependability, education, family, ethics, language, and all of that sort of thing - and often made comments about the 'black' approach to life that went in direct contrast to what they wanted to hear. I actually thought he was a pretty good role model and spokesman for ANY race, given a number of things that he purported to represent.
But I guess he's drifted down the highway of the left.................you say he's always been a liberal, I don't know. I think he's got a lot more things 'right' than from what I can tell out of Juan Williams. It's too bad - and now Cosby looks like hell and is talking semi-incoherently about things that don't make much sense.

Rush is right in this case: If you don't like the agenda and the plan that someone such as President Obama is advocating, then you shouldn't hope he succeeds, regardless of whether he is the President or not.

with all due respect Bill you are as wrong as wrong can be. I did not see you help out, I did not see Soros help out I did not see Warren Buffet help out. This is how I see it. All the people standing up for the poor and women I have not seen them give 90% of all there wealth to help these dieing soles out. They blame the right rich people for the spending that congress and the administrations have wasted on there own self interest. Everyone has to pay something into the system or it will come crashing down sometime in the future. They believe that the future somehow will make all the spending stop. . Suckers the Gov is taking more controll so they can controll more of the money. It's amazing how states that have high deficits also have high public workers who lobby and have these people make up laws to protect there pensions and health care on the tax payers dime. Which all these laws voted in were done by the corrupt polititions in office not by the tax payers who have to pay them. I did not give permision for any congressman or state legislature to make up these stupid collective bargaining bullshit contracts that can't be broken. Bull That is not legal in my view and all contracts everywhere in the us should be broken in order to give the american people the government services they deserve. We always say we will cut services instead of cutting the crazy benifet plans the governments bestowed on the american tax payers.
Bottom line all you people so concerned about the poor stop complaining give 90% yes 90% of all your wealth to the poor. Stop laying the blame on the top 1 % who pay more then there fair share in taxes. And have no controll on where it is to be spent. I feel I pay enough in taxes and the government spends to much. How about we tax just the left rich like sorros,buffet, gates, even ed shultz who is so worried about our middle class. Just pay up or shut up. If you feel more is needed then just write a check you do not need the congress to change the law you keep saying it is moraly right to do so then just do it and fix your cause you believe in. If not shut the F up

Obama's Marxist Agenda
Submitted by Kuso Jiji on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 9:30am.
Cosby's old brain is like a head full of pudding. This man is a far cry from the one we saw on television whose show exposed personal responsibility.
Unfortunately what Bill Cosby and others like him fail to grasp is that Obama had total control of the government and was able to implement most of his marxist agenda unopposed for the first half of his presidency resulting in 6 trillion in new debt. Unemployment between 8.2 - 11.4% (depends whose figure you use). Gas Prices more than doubled. Out of control inflation which is still somehow not an issue in the mainstream media. Quantitative easing which has significantly devalued the net wealth of every single American who has put money aside for retirement, a housing market that isn't getting any better.
I'd like for Mr Cosby to explain, if he still has the ability, exactly what part of Obama's agenda had any chance of restoring the economy, housing market and getting people back to work.

But, I too hope Obama falls flat on his face this coming election. It`s obvious his policies both Economically and Socially are a failure because people do not want to be led around like puppets and told what to do and how to do it. Some of the people want freedom and others apparently want to be led around like cattle and then there are a few people who are not sure what to think that are mixed into the pot. As for me I have no use for Dictators, Kings, or anyone else that restricts the peoples freedom and that is exactly why I dislike Obama. There are other Black people that also see the destructive results of the Obama Administration and the failure of the Democratic Party to pander to the minorities and wanting the government to take care of them from cradle to grave. At one time you also criticized the Black community for not showing any ambition to bring themselves out of the ghetto`s and making something of themselves and stop relying on the government for everything. Is not that Obama`s end game policy? You to should hope he fails.

Cosby has been mentally sideways since the death of his son. They drag him out to repeat a falsehood because he was famous once. Rush did NOT say Obysmal should fail, only that his socialist/Marxist agenda should fail.
And again, the other day Cosby blamed Saint Skittles' death on "guns" instead of laying blame properly at the feet of an incompetent black culture that actually encourages black youth to act out as gangsters.
It's sad to see a talented entertainer turn stupid. But then, many (most?) Follywood folks have been stupid all their lives. It's just lately they decided they had to confirm it by going loudly public with their idiocies.

Deliberate obtusenss is inexcusable and so many in Hollywood are guilty of it. There are only two possibilities;
1) They have a left wing agenda or 2) They're lying cowards. Of course I have no way of knowing if it's deliberate in Cosby's case, if it's not it might not be his fault. When I was growing up listening and laughing with Mr. Cosby, I had no idea he was a racist, if he was he hid it well. If it's latent racism I feel sorry for him, he's being used by terrible people.
Like Limbaugh or not it's clear he wants Obama to fail because of his desire to fundamentally change this country to something it's not. It's not because he's half black. The left likes to leave the illegal out of the phrase "illegal immigration" too, I'm sure thats an honest mistake it could never be so that some immigrants may get offended. What part of igorance, stupidity, hatred and fear is being used by the left here.

Sorry Bill but Obama failed
Submitted by dscott on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 10:27am.
Sorry Bill but Obama failed of his own accord and it was predictable. He had two years of a Democrat run Congress and he got what he asked for and now every sane person is wishing he didn't.
Did you really expect us to fully support a POTUS whose policies we believe to be racist and harmful to the least among us? How's Obama's economic policies working for Blacks? You like those unemployment figures do you? No? So whose fault is that? The rich? You mean like Obama who from 2008, 2009 and 2010 would have been subject to the Buffet rule? Tell us Bill, why didn't Obama share the wealth like other rich people?
It seems to me Bill your disappointment is misdirected. You should be angry that Obama has engaged in a de facto war on the poor of this nation by jacking up the cost of life's necessities like food and gasoline while at the same time enriching his campaign contributors at everyone's expense.
Pay attention liberals, the messenger has failed the message and now your message is going down in flames because the messenger can't convince anyone but the choir. Time for a new messenger.
Mr. Cosby, when he was
Submitted by John21 on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 10:31am.
Mr. Cosby, when he was elected I hoped that I was wrong in 2008 and that Mr. Obama was capable of doing all the things that he claimed he would do.
The simple fact is that his administration has been totally incompetent. He has done nothing to improve the economic outlook of American in 4 years. He has done nothing to improve the employment situation in America. He has wasted vast amounts of money that only helps his friends and donators. He has failed to create a coherent foreign policy. Respect for the United States is at a all time low due to his policies.
It is not a matter if this adminstration has failed it is already a failure it is a matter if the poeple of the United State can survive 4 more years of his incompetence.

Somebody already commented on the fact that Cosby, in spite of being a liberal, has in the past made an occasional lucid statement. However, watching the video of this most recent statement of his was so painful. It was incredibly slow, long, and occasionally felt like the engine had left the tracks. The interviewer and the other talking head being interviewed both had looks on their faces like they were internally screaming, "make a point and end it!"

I respect Mr. Cosby but think that he absolutely blew this one. Once again nothing is President Obama's fault; "THEY" were out to get him. And once again President Obama is the most maligned and ill treated President in history. This is true foolishness. The way the press and Democrats treated President Bush was appalign and shameful; they throught is was great to make a movie about assasinating him, called him horrendous names, and yet he still tried to work with them. President Obama has been imperious and denigrating since the day he took office and his actions are coming to roost.

Bill Cosby's Myth of Sisyphus analogy ...
Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 11:52am.
How ironic that thepoint in Camus' Myth of Sisyphus is that life is absurd and that one of the main examples of the absurd life is the ruler, the politician, even the rebel. And that man can survive the absurdities of life through a life of freedom.
When the smears on the TEA Party began, Mr. Cosby apparently bought the narrative hook, line and sinker. This is what happens when you are surrounded misinformation, disinformation, and people with an agenda.
In the excerpt of the interview shown on Meet the Press, Cosby went so far as to describe those opponents who disagreed with Obama (I'm assuming Limbaugh was one since his name soon followed his assertion) were "un-American" (or was it anrtti-American?).
I try to cut some people slack, especially people I've admired since childhood, when their life-experiences influence their thinking, and they are generally well-intentioned, but you reach a point when you have to give up trying to get through and just hope that they will eventually see the truth for themselves.

Too bad that someone who has "told it like it is" to black kids has to be so "color blind" about nobama. nobama was a disaster before he became President, look at his background, what would ever make you think he would know what he was doing. The way things are in the world now, the very idea of having a "community organizer" as President is a frightening thought. Cosby should have known that and not let race enter into the picture which is exactly what he has done.

"I'm disappointed that people who don't look at the woes and the trouble given to this man"
Bill, Obama actively sought out those "woes and troubles" when he ran for office! He knew what he was getting into! I mean, he was a Senator! He knew EXACTLY what to expect. But here's the problem: he doesn't know how to actually fix any of the problems we're all facing! His track record to date is dismal. He hasn't even produce a single budget that his own party will accept! He hasn't been able to figure out how to actually work WITH the republicans in Congress, and he's supposed to be a "community organizer," the type of person who, you know, can work WITH everyone, especially with the opposition, to achieve a goal, like lowering the deficit as he promised, or stop the unemployment rate from getting above 8 percent.
Time and time again, Obama has failed at getting people to work together, but he excels at tearing them apart. And, yet, you think he'll, what, do better the next time? If he couldn't figure it out in the first four years, he'll NEVER figure it out at all!

Since his goal always has been to "divide and conquer" if he gains a second four years he won't even try to figure out how to get people to work together. His entire agenda for a second term will be trying to figure out how he can completely abrogate the Constitution and declare himself Ruler For Life.
It won't even matter if Republicans hold on to the House AND take the Senate. King Hussein simply will work to achieve his goal by fiat (executive order). And if the Republican wimps currently controlling the House are any indication, he won't meet any resistance.

Mr. Cosby is a liberal black man, and thereby incapable of seeing things in any other terms other than black vs. the world. As long as there are black people in America, this will be the rule rather than the exception.
Personally, I'm sick and tired of all this horseshit. I had nothing to do with the 18th century slave trade, so why the hell am I being made to feel like it was my fault? Oh, that's right; I'm white, and therefore evil.
For those who didn't get the memo, the issue of slavery divided this country 150 years ago. It's time to move on. It is amazing to me that the highest level of racial animosity comes during the "post-racial" administration of Mr Obama. I can't help but wonder it this is by design.
For those "activists" who prefer to stir up ancient history and bad memories: no one feels sorry for you because you're black - and neither should you. Lose the chip and stop your whining.

Barack Hussein Obama Will Win Re-Election (Part One)

Barack Hussein Obama Will Win Re-Election (Part One)
As difficult as it is to concede, barring a disaster or intercession by an almighty power, President Barack Hussein Obama will win re-election on November 6th. The final vote tally will be far from a landslide but a sufficient proportion of the electorate will ensure the president serves another disastrous term.
That prediction is based on a variety of factors not the least of which is the widely-held expectation that Obama and all the president’s men and women will wage the dirtiest campaign since the populist Andrew Jackson beat the Democrat-Republican John Quincy Adams in 1828.
Obama will also win on a populist platform predicated on calculated distortions and misrepresentations supplemented by his hole cards of racial and class warfare and he will be bankrolled with a billion dollar campaign treasury.
However, the principal reason he will emerge victorious is not the nefarious tactics he and his minions will employ but that he has locked up various constituencies which will cast Democrat ballots because they almost always have and despite compelling reasons to vote otherwise.
Those constituencies in order of Democrat allegiance:
. African-Americans. Understandably, blacks chose a fellow, if semi, African-American in 2008 because, well, because he was almost black. If I were a black man, I would have supported him simply because of his race and centuries of oppression and disenfranchisement. However, the second time around, I would have supported the candidate who would best serve the interests of the country.
Thirteen percent of the electorate, fully 96% of blacks, voted for Obama four years ago versus 43 percent of whites. While the 96% was anticipated, the 43% reflected the amazing number of “white guilters” who felt it was time for a minority presence in the White House regardless of his lack of qualifications and experience as belated recompense for the enslavement of Obama’s forebears.
In spite of the fact the president has done as little for blacks–aside from hiring them in record numbers and for highly visible positions–as he has for other races, the African-American community is a sure bet to go for Obama in 2012 by margins approximating 2008 particularly but not exclusively due to his politicizing the tragic death of Trayvon Martin.
Chalk up around 13% for Obama.
. Jewish Americans. Jews are by nature and history liberal since they have been discriminated against even longer than blacks. They have endured oppression and slavery for thousands of years, and have been Democrats for as long as there has been an America.
Nevertheless, there is ample cause for Jews to abandon their loyalties to the Democrat Party this year , . . .

Submitted by Smartypants on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 7:36pm.
What I find particularly obnoxious about these left wing defenses of Obama, which characterize him as being THE most mistreated President in history, is that his term comes directly on the heels of a President who was decimated by Democrats and the media. This destruction was performed largely through innuendo and false accusations. Bush is guilty for allowing it to happen, but the media and Democrats are guilty for destroying a wartime President for little more than political expediency. It is the Bush Presidency that will go down in history as the beginning of the end of politics stopping at the waters edge. For Cosby, or anyone else, to suggest that Obama has been treated worse than George W. Bush is laughable--and sad at the same time.

As far as I am concerned, Bill Cosby can believe what he wants. Now I dont think he listens to Rush, so I dont think he appreciates the context of witch it was meant. He knows Rush "second handed" like many of his distracters do.
Also, think about being a Black man, watching your youth killing each other, dropping out of school, making more young single parents, and continuing the cycle. After all Mr Cosby and many others have tried to do for them. It's easy to start grasping at straws.
But this man (Bill Cosby) has given me about as much happiness as anyone I can think of, from his Albums that I listen to as a youth, right up to the reruns of the Cosby Show. Even today, he has humanity in mind.
In my mind, he is one of the few true American Icons left.
