Cornel West: Obama is a ‘Rockefeller Republican in Blackface’
For some, Cornel West may not DO much, but the man says some pretty controversial things.
And his latest commentary may top ‘em all. The professor has never appeared reluctant to lay down some harsh criticism on his black president regarding issues of race, war, and poverty.
This time, he took it to a whole ‘nother level, calling out President Obama as a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface.”
So harsh. But he also went in on black MSNBC personalities, accusing them of “selling their souls” to jump on the Obama bandwagon.
“I think that it’s morally obscene and spiritually profane to spend $6 billion on an election, $2 billion on a presidential election, and not have any serious discussion,” West lamented to host Amy Goodman. “Poverty, trade unions being pushed against the wall dealing with stagnating and declining wages when profits are still up and the 1 percent are doing very well, no talk about drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he continued.
It sounds like someone is upset and really bitter toward the president, in a tone reminiscent of anti-Obama campaigners.
Despite Cornel’s hammer throw of accusations, he might have a point. Some question if Obama has pushed any agenda dealing with the poor and black community.
He even added that Richard Nixon had some better policies in favor of the poor.

Tavis & Cornel remind me of the energizer bunny who’s wound up so tight with hate, envy and jealousy against President Obama that it’s slowly running its battery down and will need a re-charge in the near future. These two charlatans have established a career bashing President Obama and should receive the “Angry Crabs in the Basket Award” at the next phoney state of the Black union conference aka the great American talk-do-nothing-a-thon. During George Dubya’s 8 years of destroying the country, these two chumps were as quiet as church mice.So why so mouthy now?. Whereas their purpose is truly understandable it has now turned to such HATE! Tavis is pissed because, in his words “this is the first time I have not been invited to the white house”, so how dare Obama in his case.
in Cornel’s case, he is pissed because he campaigned for the president during the presidents first term and is still bitter because he was not invited to the inauguration where a bell hop was. also, he is pissed because the president placed larry summer, Cornel’s nemesis and the man who told Cornel to stop effn up Harvards money recording cd’s and not teaching enough, as the former director of the United States National Economic Council.
