When will the majority of black Americans realize the Democratic party is playing them like they were fish?

(Daily Mail) — First Lady Michelle Obama took to the stage at an awards ceremony on Saturday with celebrities like Stevie Wonder and Mariah Carey, as they called on the black community to civic action.

The taping of the BET Honors, hosted by Black Entertainment Television was held at the historic Warner Theatre in downtown Washington and also featured poet Maya Angelou and other African American celebrities.

Throughout the night, members were encouraged to vote ‘like their lives depended on it’ in the 2012 election.

Classy: BET founder mimics Va. gov candidate's speech

BET co-founder and major Obama supporter, Sheila Johnson, resorted to mimicking a candidate's speech impediment at a campaign event. Strangely, she is supporting the Republican candidate in the Virginia governors race. Perhaps, she is worried about the socialist direction Obama and the Democrats are taking America. Sheila Johnson is America's first black female billionaire.

From AP via Google News:

RICHMOND, Va. — The billionaire co-founder of Black Entertainment Television apologized Monday for pretending to stutter at a campaign event as she mimicked the Democratic candidate for governor.

BET co-founder Sheila Johnson, for years a major donor to President Barack Obama, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and other Democrats, stunned Virginia political observers in July by endorsing Republican Bob McDonnell in the governor's race.

He is running against Democrat Creigh Deeds to replace Kaine, who is barred by state law from running for a second straight term.

Why won't Al Gore take this bet?

J. Scott Armstrong from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania wants to bet Al Gore he can more accurately predict the temperature over the next 10 years, by using a "no change" model, than the forecasters using the "CO2 global warming" model can. The money will go to charity. So far, Al Gore has declined to take this bet.

Scott Armstrong of the Wharton School challenges Al Gore $20,000 that he will be able to make more accurate forecasts of annual mean temperatures than those that can be produced by climate models. Scott Armstrong’s forecasts will be based on the naive (no-change) model; that is, the forecasts would be the same as the most recent year prior to the forecasts. The money will be placed in a Charitable Trust to be established at a brokerage house. The charity designated by the winner will receive the total value in the fund when the official award is made at the annual International Symposium on Forecasting in 2018.

An Intrade market was set up so anyone can wager on the outcome of this challenge.

There is an Intrade market for the proposition “Gore vs Armstrong”. Betting Armstrong to win costs you $62 right now (to win $100); taking the Gore side of the bet would win $100 on only $38 at risk – over 150% profit! Given the overwhelming scientific consensus behind anthropogenic global warming, how can you possibly say “no” to this proposition?

You can see from this chart, the market is betting Al Gore is wrong.
