Kanye West On Why Obama Can't Execute: 'Blacks Don't Have The Same Connections As Jews'

You know why Barack Obama is having problems executing his agenda? Rapper Kanye West told 105.1 FM radio in New York City earlier this week that it's because "Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people." I'm not sure what connections in the business world have to do with executing as president once you're in office, do you? Frankly, I think Obama's failures have more to do with the fact that he never was in the business world and never ran anything. That said, I guess West wasn't aware that in the 2012 campaign, Obama's connections helped him raise and spend more money than Mitt Romney. Forbes reported in October 2012 about Obama's top backers: · James Simons: $4.1 million - The hedge fund 'quant king' is the biggest billionaire donor to the left, giving $2 million to Obama-backing super PAC Priorities USA Action as well as supporting left-leaning Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. · Irwin Jacobs : $2.1 million - The retired head of chip manufacturer Qualcomm also cut a $2 million check to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC backing Obama's reelection. · Jon Stryker: $2 million - Medical device heir, like Jacobs and Simons, pitched in $2 million to Priorities USA Action. He's also a longtime donor to LGBT causes. · Anne Cox Chambers: $1.6 million - The 92-year-old Cox Enterprises TV billionaire backed Obama supporters Priorities USA Action. · George Soros: $1.275 million - The legendary investor hasn't supported Obama directly, but he's contributed to left-leaning groups Majority PAC, House Majority PAC, and American Bridge 21st Century. · Haim Saban: $1 million - The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mogul has divided his donation between C Priorities USA Action and left-leaning Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. The following are Obama For America's top billionaire 'bundlers', who've fundraised from their wealthy networks rather than given directly to any super PAC or other outside group. Obama's campaign team provides a range rather than actual numbers. · David Shaw, New York hedge funder: $500k+ · James Crown, of the Henry Crown dynasty of investors: $500k+ · Marc Lasry, New York hedge funder: $500k+ · Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com: $500k+ · Penny Pritzker, business executive and Hyatt hotel heiress: $200k-$500k As for George W. Bush, his net worth is estimated to be $35 million. West's is $100 million. Makes you sorry for him, doesn't it?
