Ben Jealous.. not the reaction he was hoping, eh?
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. The problem began as soon as Bernie Sanders walked into the dining room of the revered, and predominantly black, Brookland Baptist Church. Instead of flocking to him, as people do at his large college rallies, many of churchs 780 members looked up for a moment, then quietly went back to eating their Sunday feast unmoved as Mr. Sanders, the Democratic senator from Vermont, tried to work the room.
And, it didn't end any better.. snippets..
Ms. Brooker, who later said she was undecided and had once considered voting for Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, was again the loudest voice. Amen, she said.
Yes, fired up, a few more in the crowd offered, but most continued to eat silently.
LOL.. "yes fired up".. Brawaaaa President Obama would have none of that.. they would actually be FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!
The phrase was actually coined for Obama! BS is not taking that.
Gracias bravenak!
