Cornel West: Obama ‘cussed me out’ for attacking his views on Charter Schools

Raw Story reports:
West recalled that Obama "cussed me out" after a speech about charter schools at the Urban League in 2010. It was the last time they had personal contact.


"He just lets me have it. He says, 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself, saying I'm not a progressive. Is that the best you can do? Who do you think you are?' I smiled. I shook his hand... I wanted to slap him on the side of his head."
Sometimes socialists can't agree on everything. At least Comrade West did 65 events for Obama. Comrade West gets a little anti-semitic:
“He feels most comfortable with upper middle-class white and Jewish men who consider themselves very smart, very savvy and very effective in getting what they want,”
Socialists say the darnest things.
