Obama Cries While Thanking Campaign Staffers (Video)

   

*This time, it wasn’t just a lone tear.

President Barack Obama wept as he thanked the volunteers who helped guide him to a decisive re-election on Tuesday night. The address was captured on video and uploaded to the official White House YouTube channel.

“It’s not that you guys actually remind me of myself — it’s the fact that you are so much better than I was,” Obama tells the roomful of young staffers. “In so many ways. You’re smarter, you’re better organized and you’re more effective.”

At the three-and-a-half minute mark, tears begin to well up in the president’s eyes and stream down his face as he tells the room, “What you guys have done means that the work that I’m doing is important. And I’m really proud of that. I’m really proud of you.”

The remarks then draw applause.

    I for one appreciate the HELL outta this man, his strength & his “transparency of emotion”.That kind of graditude can NOT be faked! And it’s ridiculous and sickening to hear people, BLACK people say, that this man doesn’t “care about” “Black” people! To see him respond “this” way to his supporters?, should let EVERYone know that not only does he “care”, but that he would do EVERYthing “HE COULD”!!!, to help & advance our plight in this country. His sensitivity today, is the same (if not more!!) than what 450,000 plus witnessed & admired in him, while in Germany during the primaries! He was NOT a “fake” then nor….now!!!, & those people knew it, as well as the millions in this country, who voted for him!!!! So….what does this mean?, well “I” liken it to the convo/agreement MLK had with LBJ. MLK presented LBJ with a “proposal of equality” for our people and LBJ said…..”I like it”!!, now?, go out there, & “make me” give it to you/your people”. In other words?, NO POTUS can “do WTF he “personally” wants to do!!! He has to have the backing of either the “people” or…congress!!! And knowing how congress/the system feels about “the people” & and how Our people have been treated physically AND socially in this country!!???, sheeeeeit, they would NEVER “do the right thang” “on there own”!!! So…as MLK did, ….”We” have to “make” this POTUS do what We want & need from this country. Every “other group” has organized & has a “leader or representatives” making the necessary requests/demands on behalf OF a said group! But “Us”…”We”!??, just sit back & expect this POTUS to “know WTF We want” & giiiiiiiiiive” Us shyt, without ANY proposals to justify granting the “psychic ideas”. Again….he is NOT a civil rights leader!!!!!!, he is the POTUS!!!!!! And with “this” POTUS & his obvious & deep sensitivity!!??, We have THE best chance of achieving what We need from this government, if “WE”would just …”do the right thang” OURSELVES!!, organize, & make him/government also….do the right thang!! But to hold “him” instead of the greedy, backstabbing, obviously paid fuh by/in the back pocket OF massa/YT, traitot “so called Black leaders” responsible!!???, is ludicrous, grossly irresponsible & ignorant! This man, this POTUS is “THE” best chance for ALL people, to get what we need/should have from “the system”!! So let us as Black people stop tripoin, fire these fake azz/Tommin leaders, & stop expecting shyt to just…”fall from the sky”. Like at any drive-thru?, they don’t know what we want, & surely can’t just “give shyt away” without being fired!!! And/so “We” have to “order/request” what we ….”want to eat”! And if/when we don’t?, that means…ain’t a DAMN thang “wrong with the resturant”!!!, it’s “Us” who are “too stupid to order” & therefore will remain….”hungry”. Chuuuuuuuuch!
