re: BHO endorses Mitch in mayoral race

Well Mitch's "conniving, manipulative arse-kissing Obama lackey" sister recommended Bagneris as federal judge and Obama ignored the recommendation.
So Mary publicly endorses Bagneris, and behind the scenes has Obama shitcan him. That way, she attempts to placate Bagneris with a sham recommendation to protect Mitch and the Landrieu machine. But makes sure that Obama fails to appoint him, thereby depriving Bagneris of the power of the judgeship. Textbook Louisiana democratic party politics.
Only problem is that Bagneris smelled the rat and went after Mitch anyway. Now, Mary has to make sure that Obama does damage control and instructs patsy black voters to go Landrieu.

Honestly, if I was a Nola voter, I'd vote for Mitch. He may be a democrat, but he doesn't go full retard and and is actually a very competent leader. He brings good business to Nola and the city is extremely vibrant and alive. Keep a good thing going IMO and see if you can get a message of fiscal responsibility going that a reasonabld democrat would embrace.

Thank You.
People bashing Mitch are morons. NOLA does not need a new administration at the moment.

yeah, the republicans never do anything like that
All politicians do shite like that, and anyone who doesn't see it is a dupe. But apparently, this kind of obvious political shell game gets past some of the posters on this board.
The textbook democrat party aspect of this scam is the way white democrat power brokers manipulate black politicians and voters to perpetuate their machines. The Landrieu's are plenty savvy enough to know that they have Obama on the hook and can use him for their own political schemes. But it will all be worth it to Obama when chubby little Mary toes the line every time he needs her to do so.

Interesting article arguing that Nagin was actually better than Mitch when it came to business owners:

Business under Mitch:
Full Article
quote:
“The thing you’ve got to remember,” he said, “is that both of these guys are socialists. If they had the ability they’d control everybody’s life. What makes Nagin good is that he’s not capable of doing that.
Business under Nagin:
quote:
He further explained that his business was booming, and one reason was that he didn’t have to deal with city regulators for permits, licenses and so forth as he’d expected when he opened his doors. “I expected I’d have somebody through my doors on a constant basis shaking us down for God-knows-what,” he said. ‘They’ve completely left us alone, and we’re able to focus on our core business instead of regulatory compliance on how many fire extinguishers we have or the racial makeup of our employees or whether we have handicapped parking for our customers who use us online.
Business under Mitch:
quote:
Bear in mind this is hardly a singular example. There’s the constitutionally-challenged raft of regulations on taxicabs in the city, which look to be tailor-made to enable the Russian mob to consolidate its control over that industry at the expense of the independent operators. There’s the crackdown on bars for violations of city regulations from a book which rivals the Dodd-Frank bill in its volume. And there was the long arm of Landrieu’s law descending upon French Quarter establishments for the crime of holding sales of Mardi Gras costumes.
quote:
The only real difference seems to be that while Nagin generally left the more-or-less law-abiding people alone, Landrieu refuses to. And he’s choking off the city’s recovery in the process, which makes my friend the tech entrepreneur a quite sage prophet indeed.

It was also probably the most honest mayor we have had in over 40 years. The guy had no political allies, or skills at theft, he was an outsider that was very honest. And the shite he is being charged with stealing is chicken shite. A few loads of stone, a couple of trips, some meals. Other mayors and governors engaged in massive corruption and we have fallen upon nagin like he was some evil politician.
I'm not a fan of Black governance but Nagin wasn't bad, all things considered. His first term was corruption free, and he only went chocolate city on us when the white people started going crazy post Katrina.

That's because the racists are after him!
Nagin is a lot like OJ and Michael Jackson. Oreo to the core until their asses were caught. Then they're black as coal and THE MAN is trying to get them because of it.

He went "chocolate city" on us when he lost support and had to play the race card to get re-elected. He fooled you once. He fooled you twice. And now he's still fooling you.
Bet if he had 1/100 of Jewish blood you'd have sniffed him out from the start.

That's not "an article". That's an opinion piece from an unnamed blogger on a blog. About as persuasive as CT's post. He's another feeling the guilt of putting that idiot in office to begin with.

No he is indicted because he was less skilled at theft and corruption.

That is your opinion and another stupid one.

Not crawfishing at all, you obviously don't understand the meaning of the term. I still think he is the best black mayuor we ever had. The fact he is indicted doesn't mean he was less corrupt than Marc Morial or Bartholemew, or daddy Morial. Nagin hasn't done shite compared to those guys and their organized corruption. I don't think I ever voted for Nagin. I know I didn't in a first primary.

Who is this us you write about?

That is what I wrote about white people going crazy, he did it for political purposes not out of his innate desire to repopulate the city with dysfunctionals.

Don't project your skills onto me. I wasn't and am not a fan of Nagin, he just isn't the evil crook he is made out to be. Much more honest than Landrieu in my opinion.
Nagin had no machine and no insiders, he was hung out to dry by other crooks, since he didn't have for example cronies that would take the rap like Marc Morial did.
All things considered Nagin was less of a frick up than his recent predecessors.

You really are being a dumbass about this. Mitch is the best mayor this city has seen in 30 plus years
And that article is total horse shite. Just some nimrod whining about a few policies he doesn't like.
The city is actually being run pretty well now compared to what Nagin was doing. Nagin actually must have had a total mental breakdown during his second term because he didn't do shite and was an embarrassment and a disgrace.

Even if you are totally correct on all of this, do you actually believe that it has anything at all to do with Obama's endorsement?

In comparison to bigger crooks and worse recent mayors, yes.

Mitch rolls to a second term. Life is good in NOLA at the moment, and the electorate is happy, even if a few PT posters disagree.
Laughing out loud at the Mitch/Nagin comparisons. Carry on.

When did ML recommend him for the judge position?
It seems his decision to run for mayor was a very recent one.

Do you believe that any activity involving Obama and a Landrieu between now and the mid-term election is based on any issue other than maintaining democrat control of the U.S. Senate?
