POPS0bama Insults Black Community . . "Stop complainin', stop grumblin', stop cryin' 
. . . doesn't she realize Obama wants to improve the economy, the job situation for everybody?'" WATERS: Maxine Waters does not complain. BLITZER: So you're gonna take off your slippers and you're gonna get out there and march with him? WATERS: I've never owned a pair of bedroom slippers. RUSH: Ohhhh! So Maxine doesn't even have a pair of bedroom slippers, and now she says that Obama just got excited and insulted the Congressional Black Caucus by accident. RUSH: So Sheila Jackson Lee was inspired by the bedroom slippers comment. The rest of the black community is insulted by it, but she's inspired that... One more: Tavis Smiley responded to her. Tavis, I guess, understood what she said. SMILEY: People were cheering and jumping up and down when they crucified Jesus. So the fact that people are jumping up and down and cheering, don't mean that what's going down is right. Would the president ever say to an audience of our Jewish brothers and sisters concerned .

POPSThe Right Wing is saying the Poor are better off than Middle Class Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting points out the talking points that the Conservative Media have been using to try to make it look like the poor in America don't desperately need the help they're getting and more. They seem to have discarded the false stereotype of "The Welfare Bum" for drawing false comparisons between the poor these days, and the poor in the past. They neglect to point out that even the rich had less in the past, so such a comparison is far from objective. When presented with the truth of the rapidly-growing income gap, they quickly resort to other Heritage Foundation Talking Points, trying to muddy the waters of a very clear and essential issue. The right wing is well known for ignoring the parts of the Constitution that they don't like, and they're ignoring the part that says that the government is tasked with protecting the general welfare. That means *everyone*, not just the rich.
