Obama has repeated the right wing talking points on "personal responsibility", which are absolute garbage, on many occasions. This is an attack on all poor people and Reed is accurate on this point.

^^^^ CB: Garbage.

Jesse Jackson, a leftwinger , used to do a whole rap much longer than Obama's, on Black, men's "personal responsibility" as fathers. " A boy can make a baby. It takes a man to raise one", etc., etc. Nobody called them rightwing talking points then, 'cause they weren't.

Obama is a _Black man_. His discussion of these responsibilities is left-wing criticism-self-criticism. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
