Obama to celebrate Black History month with tribute concert

It's party time in the Obama household again (yes, again!). The Big O worked so hard to find something like $8 to cut from the budget and now he needs to boogie on down to celebrate! No costs spared for the world's favorite Affirmative Action appointee couple. Don't worry about how much this is going to cost the tax payer - screw them. When the O's want to show their support for Black History month, then no one is stopping them, let alone the disgruntled, unemployed citizens of the country!! You go O and Mo. Show us how to appreciate all the Black man has brought to America! Forget that most of the Black babies are born fatherless and that most of the Blacks are on Welfare or in jail. Forget that no big inventions have come from that race. Ignore the facts and beat that old PC drum...after all, you're a product of the White guilt that has frozen America in time....African American hour Black History  month!! Hey, I may even tune into the concert so that I too can be enriched by all the liberals singing for you....not.

The White House will celebrate Black History Month with a Feb. 24concert celebrating Detroit's best-known musical import. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will host "The Motown Sound: In Performance at the White House," a tribute to therecord companyBerry Gordy Jr. founded here at the dawn of the 1960s.
