Barack Obama has brought International prestige and acclaim to the United States with the winning of the Nobel Peace prize. While the prize was shocking to many, if the citizens of United States would close their eyes and remember why they voted for him they would realize that he deserves and earned the Nobel Peace Prize. I can not say that I necessarily agree or even know clearly the rationale of the Nobel committee for awarding the Nobel Peace prize to Barack Obama but I can articulate why I think he deserves the prize.
Barack and Michelle Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for first of all being able to transcend themselves. In a world that frequently says you can’t and in a country that had never had a President of color The Obama’s said “Yes We Can”. They said Yes We can and Did. Barack Obama did not come from a two parent home with Daddy throwing him up to the sky every night, Barack Obama even mentions that he comes from a home where people may have told him they were scared of black men because he was raised by his caucasian grandmother. President OBama’s history and his subsequent accomplishments are a beacon of light to every child around the world who experiences controversies and problems in their lives. The ability of Barack Obama to overcome himself and his environment is a world class accomplishment, Nobel Prize worthy because one of the hardest things for people to do is to overcome themselves. Many great thinkers have written about this Napoleon Hill, recitations of the words of Jesus and others.
Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Prize by helping to prove to the world that the United States is not full of racists who hate black people and that the notion that an American Dream is possible for all is a reality not a notion for whites only. In a sociology class I learned about the third generational theory that all European racial groups who come to the United States can meld into the fabric of the United States and eventually become white or plain American, whereas people of color Asians, Blacks, Latinos, were subsequently out of luck and could never really melt because of their race into an American characteristic. Barack Obama and the United State shattered this myth by voting for him as President by actually implementing the words of Martin Luther King “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. The various races of the United States gave Barack Obama a mandate. Barack Obama was not a president installed by force, given to the United States by some International Super Power he was democratically elected by the American people who said that we don’t care about race anymore just someone willing to work for our interests.
As for the significance of Barack Obama post election we the American People seriously hope that he will use the slogan YES WE CAN to solve our problems as well as take the attitude of YES WE CAN to the world and help solve their problems. As for what has gone wrong with the Presidency up to know, by and large Obama and the Democrats refuse to ignore the voices that did not elect them. The only way Obama can keep his promises is to ignore the voices of dissension and keep a straight path and fulfill his promise.
As we prepare for the announcement of a New Supreme Court Justice the writing is on the wall that though black women have been part of this country since it’s founding there will not be a black female Supreme Court Justice. The major news outlets refuse to even consider that a black women will sit on the supreme court. However the big signal that a black women will not be the definite choice for the Supreme Court is the huge cover article that the Obama propoganda machine has negotiated on Michelle Obama with Time magazine, hitting the stands the same week that everyone speculates that Barack Obama will announce a new Supreme Court nominee in essence playing the Michelle card to Black women and those who care for them.
While it is refreshing to have a Black First Lady in the White House its becoming increasingly obvious that she has no or does not care to have any sway or bedtime influence on her husband as it relates to black women and their position in the Obama administration. The nonadvocacy of the aspirations of black females in the upper reaches in government have literally been squashed in the Obama administration. For the first time in sixteen years a black women will not hold a cabinet position in a presidential administration.
Unofficially from the Obama administration the cabinet position a black woman holds in the Obama administration is first lady. Never before has a first lady been trotted out and purveyed, what an example to black women, what an accomplishment she got married and managed to not be a welfare queen with ten children. There is a black first lady which is a wonderful and groundbreaking but I think most people expect it comes with having a black president.
The Michelle card has been played in many ways when it was pretty obvious that Barack Obama had no blood ties with the African American descendantsof western slaves, the connection of Obama to West Africa comparative to being Chinese versus Japanese or vice versa, the Obama supporters shouted out that Michelle was a descendant of West African slaves and his children would therefore carry on that legacy. African Americans and those who cared for African Americans thought that Michelle Obama was the prescription to the fact that Obama’s descendants were never enslaved and Obama would essentially be stealing the legacy of African American heritage to become president of the United States and to indicate that there was a new Nirvana of racial love in the United States.
What Obama’s administration as indicated by his one black cabinet appointee a position held by this black at the beginning of the Bush II administration is that Obama of interacial heritage and having gained the right to be president from his white mother’s U.S. citizenship does not identify in his mind, heart, or soul with black people. Obama is black on the outside and white on the inside and feels no loyalty to blacks. Blacks for Obama are a means to an end. This has been a key trait of Obama as politician the strong tendency to bit the hand that feeds him. This is strongly exemplified in the incident of Obama giving a now convicted felon contracts to run a housing project in his disctrict that lacked the very nesscessary ingredient of Heat in icy cold Chicago. When Obama’s constituents called to complain their calls were never returned. More on the Rezko deal can be found here. Obama’s identification with his caucasion side comes out at time with an almost exageratted claim to blackness I have a black wife, I play basketball, I talk slang a self proclaimed wigger is what Obama’s exagerations shout.
In any event the Times article on Michelle Obama at such an oppurtune time can mean only one thing a black women will not be nominated for Supreme Court Justice and if you don’t like it just read the nice Times article on Michelle Obama its so nice to have a black first lady is it not aren’t all of us black women lucky, be grateful for what you have and what you can get righto!!!!!!
As I attempted to drive into City Hall East for business. I came to the realization that I would not be going into the building because an impromptu slave market had been created in front of city hall and I was not comfortable walking through a throng of men to get to the other side of the street. It was a slave market made up of individuals who appeared to be Hispanic and I assumed illegal immigrants but maybe not.
I was shocked to see this, in the fair city of Atlanta. I had seen numerous scenes of cops literally standing over black and white men who dared to stand in the corner of a door. As a former Atlanta college student who racked up parking tickets as students do, I had witnessed numerous vagrants black and white going to jail for standing on the street too long. I had even witnessed one female judge give the vagrants their rights and tell them they did not have to serve jail time because their rights had been violated. One vagrant preferred to go to jail, I suppose jail served his needs for food shelter and clothing. However most individuals do not want to go to jail for loitering or harassed for loitering and it is not tolerated in this fair state unless you are Hispanic. Atlanta even has signs that say talking to a stranger on the street is illegal.
As I turned to leave the parking lot of the slave mart I saw a black man and said I was shocked at what was going on. He responded that the immigrants were standing there because there were no jobs. I went around the corner and spoke to a lady at a stop light and said I was shocked at what I saw, a literal slave market. She like the black man before her seemed a little peeved that I would ask about the slave mart and said the immigrants are looking for work and the neighborhood was about to go through “big changes” and they were renovating. I did recall seeing a Sothebys real estate sign when driving up from North Avenue in Atlanta but could not put together a slave mart with a Sothebys sign. I suppose it was an unsaid understanding in this neighborhood of the openly gay, vegan, any thing goes community that American men and women do not deserve a fair wage and illegal aliens did not have any human rights . Everything prior liberal individuals had fought for was being thrown out the door for a Sothebys commission. I suppose this is the advent of a new liberalism, an antithesis to the me generation when me literally means the individual and not the overall society in general, me means prosperity not concern for the weaker man. Yes, this is my generation fortunately my mother was slightly older when she had me so I was raised by a 60’s radical not a disco duck.
As I thought about this and also thought about another slave market that I knew about further North of town, it suddenly dawned on me that while Obama had been comparing himself to Lincoln, ironically Obama is facing the same economic pressures as Lincoln did involving labor, literal human bodies, that Lincoln did. I will never forget a passage that I read about in a book called The Strange Career of Jim Crow the passage said something to the effect when slavery was over, white men and black men held hands and jubilantly ran down the hill in joy because they knew that labor was no longer an issue and they both would get paid for their work. Ten years into the millennium the United States has a labor problem again. Republicans are not just undercutting the government by sending their jobs over seas but openly gay, vegan, yoga folks are undercutting the government too by refusing to hire individuals who are willing to work for an honest wage or hire a renovation company with skilled artisans. I suppose it could be said if democrats are getting theirs and republicans are getting theirs why should anyone be concerned, it seems like there is some mystical gravy train that is open to anyone who has half of a brain.
As I returned the next day to take pictures of the slave mart which I did not becuase I did not get their until 10:30 and it had thinned out. I went into the whole foods market and had such a great time at their restaurant. I felt maybe I was being oversensitive to the issue and everything was cool. While sitting at the whole foods restaurant I did notice that every race was hopping on the cheap immigrant labor bandwagon. I watched trucks move in and out of the area with ladders, building materials, windows etc. Again it was accepted that immigrant labor had replaced the labor of men who had not hopped on the capitalist or educational ladder. There is a new slave class in town and they want it. How ironic for the south to completely embrace a new form of sharecropping or slavery. Some things will never change.
While this may seem like a benign issue a way of getting your before someone else does. The honest truth is that this immigrant labor not bound by minimum wage or other requirements can only remake the United States into a third world nation. Either U.S. citizens will join them on the slave mart or they will be in bread lines. The media is toting that more women than men are working this can partially be blamed on illegal immigrants. I am not a racist, I am a realist and based on historical factors if one group undercuts another in terms of what their labor is offered for, the other group seeking an honest wage will be eating dirt at the bottom of a bridge.
There is a Sothebys sign on the one side of city hall and a slave mart on the other side, this is a conflict someone is going to pay a Sothebys price for a home but unfortunately just like the mortgage flippers they will not be paying for the quality of labor or for the honesty of labor. They will live in a house full of negative energy without the knowledge that their home has been renovated by exploited laborers and contributed to honest men enjoying the taste of dirt in their mouths at the bottom of a bridge.
You know I was sitting here thinking about Rush Limbaugh and his attitudes towards liberals and their efforts to in the least give lip service to helping American citizens in need and at most provide assistance and relief to United States Citizens of all income groups and I could not help meditating on Limbaughs profound misunderstanding of National and World Affairs.
The first thing that kept going through my head was the international food crisis that is factually sweeping the world and how smart our government has been to plan for the poor, for the poor are always among us and always will be among us. I also thought about the base of the Republican party blue collar religious individuals who are in desperate need of the programs and resources that the Democrats are proposing to help them. Rush’s solution that tax cuts will create jobs and resources for this blue collar base is frankly ludicrous. What Rush is failing to realize is that the world is increasinglya competitive world, an increasingly capitalist world, and captalists’ are playing on the international playing field not the National Playing field. The only way to attract capital and capitalists to any Nation or society is to have a skilled workforce . However according to several sources the quality of the United States Educational system is not competitive, is not even in the top ten of best educations in the world. According to U-wire:
Now Rush is so fond of the word capitalism, in an increasingly technological world surely a smart capatalist survival of the fittest corporation is not going to bring his capital to the United States for complex jobs when all sources show that this is not the best place to get smart capital. He’s going where the best capital is and it’s not the United States. This is what smart legislators and a president realize. If your human resources lack the skill to compete world wide, a smart government provides assistance so that they can eventually be able to compete.
Finally I don’t know who Rush represents surely he does not represent blue collar workers becaue there jobs have been gone for a long time and the job losses we are dealing with are the stragglers, surely Rush is not talking about the middle class becasue they are in need of help too. Is Rush Limbaugh representing the Very wealthy. Bill Gates has a foundation that provides food aide to hungry people all around the world and says that he’s grateful to public education and libraries for helping him to reach his full potential. Surely he’s not talking about Warren Buffet because he says he believes in helping also. I am a little confused as to who rush is representing. The only people he seems to be representing so far are the virulent racists who are so prejudice that they will work against their very own interests.
While yesterday Rush Limbaugh bragged on the fact theat he did not need a prompt to speak and could go on and on maybe Rush should do less talking and more studying the bible and world affairs. Below is a little bible lesson for Rush.
Man I got summer hating on me cause I’m hotter than the sun
Spring hating on me cause I ain’t neva sprung
Win-ter hating on me cause I’m colder than ya’ll
And I will neva I will neva I will neva FALL
I’m being hated by the season
So fuck ya’ll who hating for no reason
For the first time since maybe the constitution was written we have a President that actually cares about the people. We have a president that actually wants to make the United States “ideal” of Liberty and Justice for All, real. While I have wavered and waned on my support of Barack Obama during the election. Since he has been elected the only behavior I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a caring and concern for the American people that is unprecedented. The haters coming out of the woodwork have literally stunned me. I can honestly say that I was unaware of the hate that certain white people felt for blacks until Barack Obama was elected. I would have never dreamed that so many self proclaimed Republicans and Caucasians associated Blacks with watermelon and fried chicken.
The two incidents that I’ve heard about involved individuals on the government pay roll. This is really a cause for concern that in the first case, a mayor of a town sent an email with the following picture to his list:
The Mayor says the "President" Will Not have an Easter Egg Hunt But A Watermelon Hunt this Easter
stating there will not be an Easter Egg hunt this spring at the White House but a watermelon hunt. The second incident involved cops who stated on their face book pages that:
“the rose garden will be turned into the watermelon garden” that there will be a “KFC set up right in front of the white house”
The scary part about these comments is that these individuals interact with the public. We will never know how many people have not been hired, who’ve been falsely accused and arrested, and wronged just because of racists in the woodwork.
Meanwhile the conservative Republicans are meeting and they don’t have a clue why they lost the White House and a large number of congressional seats. This is really quite funny that they fail to realize that the reason they lost is because of their lack of concern and ignorance of the needs of ordinary people. Instead of utilizing a strategy of how can we show that we are concerned and how can we win in 2016. They are insulting the President of the United States. They are using the same tactics that caused them to lose the White House by close to double digits. “Pathetic” The only people who are fooled are the racists. WAKE UP REPUBLICANS!
(Republicans)
I been in and out the bank bitch
While ya’ll asshole niggas been on the same shit
I flush em and watch em go down the drain quick
Two words you neva hear WAYNE QUIT
Cause wayne win and they lose
I call them April babies cause they fools
And while they snooze we UP
The other day a dear friend called me and said I’m coming to Atlanta for my fraternity meeting. We started to talk and I suppose he remembered that my sons father was in the same Fraternity he was in and he said I know he pays child support, he’s a Morehouse Alpha. I had to say no he does not pay child support. No one seems to want to make him pay child support and since Barack Obama has been elected he has not paid child support and probably won’t.
In Georgia we know that if there is a Democrat in office men are not going to support their children. I remember we had a Democratic Governor in Georgia and the child support workers were losing files, could not find a non paying father and were generally nonfeasent, misfeasent, and malfeasent.
In my case if anyone sees Philip Tracy Smith of Ellenwood, Georgia, a non-payer to at least two children one in Texas and one in Atlanta supposedly who owns a staffing agency and writes up mortgages and who’s license should be suspended please tell him to pay child support.
Furthermore if you want to know how I hooked up with him. I told him when we were thinking about dating that he just did not seem to be the sort of person I was interested in because he had a lot of problems. What did he do? He called his mother and had her tell me that he was a good person, he just had problems, but was a decent individual.
In addition I left him for talking about a woman who was just a friend too much. He slept outside of my door all night and asked for forgiveness. Who is he married to know? This woman. He is a certified rat.
Years later he’s not paying child support, though his Frat brother is sure that he is or should be and he’s not.
Finally as the senate looks to confirm Eric Holder as head of the Department of Justice who might also be a member of this fraternity, I’m not sure though my friend insisted on naming a long line of frat folks to me on the phone he did not mention Holder so he’s probably not; in any event all women should be mindful that Holder might be prepared to have the justice department look left while deadbeat dads refuse to pay child support.
I’ve said often on this blog that I’ve made a decision on whom I want to vote for but the truth is I have not and every time I decide definitely in my mind, a constituency of either presidential candidate makes me question if I actually want to cast a ballot for the candidate of choice at the time.
My quandary, not with McCain but with Palin is, Is she a racist or not. I think at her first campaign stop there was a black man who really wanted to shake her hand and she refused to shake it. Ever since my brief observation I’ve been wondering is she or isn’t she a racist. The behavior of her followers, one who even used a racial slur against a cameraman is deeply troubling. There has been evidence that she’s not a racist, the winner of Miss Alaska a black woman has said that Palin was cool and not a sore loser when she lost to her.
In addition Palin’s husband is partially Eskimo which does not point to a pure racist, However, her base makes me wonder what she is.
You know as far as I am concerned the one thing Sarah Palin appears to be doing well is being a woman. I thought it was awesome when Sarah Plain stepped off the airplane toting her baby after her campaign activities. I thought it was wonderful that she actually went into Wal-Mart. I think it’s wonderful that she actually married someone that she’s attracted too. I think it’s wonderful that she has five kids and still manages to play the game. I really like the image that Sarah Palin portrays. I admit she did have a very rocky start with her first TV interview, but she pulled it together quickly. As for Foreign Policy experience Condeleeza Rice, a woman that I deeply admire has said something to the effect that different skill sets can be used to address Public Policy. The You Tube Video of What Condeleeza Rice thinks of Palin appears below.
In terms of Class and Sex I think Barack Obama does this rather badly. Obama for me reminds me of a friend or a loved one that I argue with constantly and I always forgive because well because I care for them. It’s like you see their faults but you love them anyway. Obama as far as I’m concerned is extremely charismatic and seductive. I think he knows this and takes advantage of it. People have dropped out of the race for lesser things then what Obama has been known to actually do. Plagiarism, Biden dropped out of a Presidential race for it. Racism, I do believe that Obama knew that Reverend Wright was a racist. If he’s that naive he does not need to run for President. Churches have themes. The whole Church is themed around evil whitey. I’m sure of it. They have speakers coming to the church talking about how the white man oppresses black people. They have plays about it. This is the unadulterated truth if anyone wants to or cares to hear it. White men who have been accused of a lot less then this type of racism have dropped out of the race, however it may not even be a race issue but a generational issue, Obama’s generation is Prince and Madonna. They are used to controversy and are not dropping out because of it. Earlier generations may have been embarrassed a little too easily.
The class issue, Obama is an unadulterated elitist, small town people cling to their religion and their guns is a terribly elitist thing to say, unfortunately having roots in a small town I agree with this. Though I often write positively about my parents small town roots, the roots sometimes try to follow you out of the country and wrap their tentacles around you creating a small town atmosphere of innuendo and bad feelings. On my most recent visit a relative told me you don’t know what they say about you you should change your clothes, I replied well I know what they say about you, you’re a rabid gossip. In any event I’m not arguing with Obama’s impression of small town America because I used to be closely associated with one and more and more I’m thinking about getting lost from it.
Finally the sexism issue and Obama weighs heavily on my mind. The way the the democrats and Barack Obama treated Hillary Clinton is just totally unacceptable behavior. They literally took votes from Hillary and gave them to Barack Obama as written about here and here. While some may argue that this was not a chauvinist thing to do it was just winning, asking Hillary Clinton to just swallow the incident and campaign was chauvinist to me and though she has been married to the President of the United States and been first lady proving swallowing disappointment and unfairness is profitable, it’s a wooden nickel and makes me wonder if she’s a happy women. Money and Power don’t mean much without self respect. To emphasize how money does not matter, let me briefly tell a story when I was in San Francisco I saw this homeless couple, the male of the pair picked up his raggedly dressed companion and placed her in the basket with such love and gentleness that I instantly felt a twinge of envy. If you can end life being loved and appreciated then power and money does not matter much. In essence Obama treated Hillary wrong, the fact that he respects his wife and no one else is peculiar to me because respect of your colleagues is supposed to be a given.
Finally after all of this, one may wonder why Obama still ranks as a candidate in my mind. The honest truth is he looks like a nice guy who will do the right thing. I don’t believe that he’s a nice guy. He believes in infanticide. This will probably be the deal breaker for me. I honestly don’t feel that he has a platform that he really cares about; for example when I think of Hillary Clinton I think of Health Care. When I think of Barack Obama, I think he looks like a nice responsible human being. He looks like he will do the right thing and he’s a democrat and maybe just maybe he will care about making things better.
Finally as far as Obama is concerned his base is so disgustingly smug that I really feel no affinity with them, though I do have the most basic of college degrees, I still like talking to Joe the plumber, and Mary the maid, and Sue the hairdresser. As a matter of fact I would love to be their friends so I could get free and reduced services from them in exchange for my services as a Web Architect. The SNL skit of the McCain Palin supporter made me think of myself. I am often wrong, I am often judgmental and may mispronounce a word but I don’t think that I should be made fun of. When I see skits like this I think there will be no consideration of me in an Obama presidency and there probably will not be because after all he refused to shake my hand.

The question pollsters should be asking is, Have you voted in early voting? If not why? If I knew who I was voting for trust me I would participate in early voting to avoid long lines. I am going to narrow it down before the early voting polls close because I don’t want to wait in long lines.
And he’s not even an economist; he majored in English in the college of Arts and Sciences very far from macro and micro economics. Oh yeah he does have an MBA, the President of the United States probably thought this was enough of an “economic” qualification to make him Secretary of the Treasury. it’s not! They school of economics is in the College of Arts and Sciences and MBA’a are in the school of business. Take it from a Political Science person the school of business and the school of Arts and Sciences are Worlds away. It’s enough to have made him Secretary of Commerce but definitely not the Treasury. From my point of view it looks like Pauslon needs to be fired or do what past market failures have done and
JUMP OFF OF A BUILDING
, instead of given 700 billion dollars and Bush needs to be impeached.
With that said according to a late night email and the Houston Chronicle; the democrats and George Bush have reached a historic deal to give 700 Billion Dollars to George BUSH and his ”homey” Paulson. The timing could not be more perfect close to 90 days before Bush and Paulson will be out of Office.I suppose the I should not have voted for the war democrats led by I would not have voted for the war Barack Obama, will have to follow in the steps of embattled and reelected Louisiana Representative Jefferson who was caught with $90,000 dollars worth of bribery money in his freezer and go somewhere and buy a deep freezer or 10 for the bribes they received in exchange for voting for the 700 billion dollar bailout bill.
Finally why is everything failing because Bush and Paulson are making them fail.They are lying, suddenly they say everything’s going to fail and it does.I do not have the knowledge and the resources of the I voted for the war congress but I do have common sense and any man that has created a fight and a war with every oil producing country in the world and his business is oil is a criminal and anyone who gets behind him is naïve or a criminal too.This has essentially been Obama’s argument but he was the first to jump on the bailout plan, he also managed to give money to his former employer ACORN in the bailout bill.I suppose anyone who thinks he was not working during this time has been misled.He did work on the bailout bill, because Acorn is getting at least a billion of the money (my speculation) and I suppose ACORN and other community organizations will be distributing tax payer money to your local congressional persons home freezers’.
Trust Me they Are Destroying the Economy for 700 Billion Dollars, This is making me a believer that 911 was an inside job and congressional memebers were probably in on it too!
As has been written about before on this blog, the one thing that blacks of the diaspora meaning for the most part descendants of West African blacks transplanted by the Trans Atlantic African Slave trade in the 17th and 18th century need to realize is that Barack Obama does not share that Ancestral Legacy with Blacks of the Americas. Barack Obama is not the descendant of a slave and does not share this heritage and to put it bluntly does not have the right to claim a legacy that is not his. Barack Obama is African and not African America. Barack is East African and not West African. Barack Obama is about as related to the descendants of West African slaves as are people in China that have black skin, India who have black skin, the Middle East who have black skin, etc. “Attention” people just because you have black skin and are from Africa this does not mean that you automatically inherit the legacy of African American blood sweat and tears. This does not mean that your ancestors fought in all of the United States wars, this does not give you the right to claim Crispus Attucks, the black guy who ran through the streets hollering the British are coming the British are coming. In actuality, the truth regarding Africans currently in Africa is that their Ancestors actively participated in the Transatlantic slave trade, many of them went deep into the interior of Africa and all along coastal Africa capturing other Africans to sell them to slave traders. This is a fact that most native Africans admit to. The only people who seem not to know this are African Americans which sometimes makes me wonder how long will their stupidity last, their ancestors were dumb enough “including mine” to be captured and placed into slavery and now the madness continues with their pushing to elect a “slave capturing” African as their first African American president. Oh the Irony…………, Isn’t it Ironic! If anyone doubts my words about the role of Africans in the Transatlantic slave trade, they may want to view the following movie or read the movie synopsis,
The above reminder was prompted by ads that are being run by the Obama campaign and the DNC which I heard yesterday on the Micheal Baisdan show that appeal to black peoples sense of heritage, that say that “our ancestors fought for this”, elect Barack Obama. Honestly the person who wrote these ads should review the transatlantic slave trade, should view a movie and relive my ancestors being chased by Obama’s African ancestors to put my ancestors on a brutal slave ship that resulted in my ancestors having to be freed by the Republican Abraham Lincoln, that caused my ancestors to have to fight in the civil rights movement for equal education, equal employment etc. and the right to vote. While I am not against Obama, these commercials are only pimping black people and playing upon ancestral connections that are not there. As for Micheal Baisdon, I am not surprised that these ads are being run on his show, this is the same man who regularly has strippers and pole dancers on his BET television show and discusses topics such as women should get surgery to tighten up their vaginae. This is why Baisdon is comfortable running these ads because essentially “literally” he is a pimp himself and has no problems pimping descendants of African Americans. STOP THE IRONY!!!!! STOP THE LIES!
In a move that shows John Mc Cain’s respect for his wife, daughter and his mother. NOT “Just Words” Mc Cain chooses Sarah Palin as his VP nominee.
To quote Cyndi Lauper in “Girls Just Want to have Fun”,
Somebody takes a beautiful girl and hides her away from the rest of the world, (The dems took Hillary and are hiding her away from the rest of the world)
I want to be the one to walk in the Sun, (Hillary wanted to walk in the Sun, (her beautiful Orange suit showed this”)
Palin will walk in the Sun for the Good Ol Party! This election year will break barriers!
I was not aware that we had a monarchy in this country. I thought we voted for one president and he had a wife but she was not a co president or coruler. Obviously things have changed. The Jackie Kennedy analogy just ran out Jackie was willing to play in the background, she redecorated the white house. I suppose Michelle will be the one answering the red phone now.
As for Michelle being a Hillary, Hillary ran for an office , Senator and won. What a pity all of the talented women who actually hold an office in the democratic party have been knocked out so King Kuba can make his wife a keynote speaker, obviously the same opportunities extended to Barack Obama when they chose a junior senator or was he a state representative at the time to speak at the convention will not be extended to others.
Oh I suppose it’s not a real monarchy, if they win they will have to leave in four or eight years, maybe a modified monarchy.
This blog reported yesterday about the extremely strange way Michigan Delegate votes were allocated to Barack Obama yesterday. The published post discussed how Obama would get the results of two places on the ballot uncommitted and the write in vote. Obama asked the voters of Michigan and even passed out handouts suggesting to people who wanted to vote for him to vote uncommitted. We all assumed he would get uncommitted for Michigan. We did not assume he would get the write in vote also which according to Michigan is uncounted if a candidate has not formally declared that he would run for office in Michigan write in for the candidate can not be tallied or recorded the machine ignores them and no one knows who the write ins were for. Since it is illegal to look at ballots, Michigan says they relied on exit polls in determining the votes Obama should have for write in. In other words Michigan gave Obama votes without votes.
In any event I thought I was crazy and must have imagined the above because out of over 50 articles I’ve read about the “big” compromise, no one has written about it. It’s like Michigan did not do a dirty deal to give Obama votes. However one truth seeking newspaper is reporting how the Michigan Obama delegates were allotted also. Joseph Williams and Bryan Bender of the Boston Globe are reporting :
“Mark Brewer, chairman of Michigan’s Democratic Party, told the panel the best solution was a compromise, based on an assessment of exit polling and other data. Brewer said Obama was entitled to 59 pledged delegates to Clinton’s 69, “a far fairer reflection of the Democratic preferences in Michigan.”
Exit polls are not the same things as votes. Michigan did not hold an exit poll caucus. Honestly Obama should not have been given the write in vote, and technically he should have been made to associate the uncommitted with his campaign by asking uncommitted to come forward.
IF a state says vote and you don’t vote. It’s the fault of the voter for not voting. It is not the fault of the state, they offered you the chance to vote you should have voted. Furthermore, it’s the right of the citizens of a state to have their vote counted. They voted, they thought it would count. If your candidate takes his name off the ballot, that’s his problem. IF he knows there is going to be a ballot he should not take his name off of the ballot. If we are debating these issues we may as well think about them.
If Representative Robert Wexlar is an example of the type of people who would be helping to run the country during an Obama presidency. We are in for Bush two. Wexler could not tell the truth, could not answer questions asked because he was so determined to hide his real motives of trying to preserve Obama’s delegate lead and pretend that he was concerned with the people of Florida. He was not concerned with Florida but with Obama. He literally thought the people interested in the issues had their eyes closed and were stupid. He argued that Clinton should be happy with the 19 out of 40 delegates that Obama was willing to concede. He further said that 19 delegates was what she received from two states combined so Florida and Clinton should be happy with this. When asked about fair reflection ”proportional representation” he looked like and acted like he did not know what this meant.
Honestly, an Obama election is looking like a Bush 2, Mccain may be Bush 2. What are we going to do? Prepare for Katrina 2 and pay ten dollars at the pump because the people selected are wide eyed and unaware of how to run this country. I am so afraid at this point. Clinton really should consider and Independant run. The time is now.
On the flip side Clinton supporters were very articulate, clear, and aware, and did not lie!
One of the rallying calls of the Democratic Party is that they need to hold office so that they can withdraw from Iraq and bring our troops back home but according to an article in USA Today twice as many Iraq Vets who are running for elective office consider themselves Republicans and do not want to with draw from Iraq. USA Today says the following about the Republican Vets:
“ Republican candidates are “pro-victory,” says Kieran Michael Lalor, a Republican candidate in New York and the founder of Iraq Vets for Congress, a group of Republican House candidates. “No good comes from a precipitous withdrawal and a lot of good would come from a stable functioning democracy in the Middle East.”
This blog has expressed the same sentiments. Prior to 911 and Post 911 many articles have been writeen about the Middle East Terrorist threat. I personally think that winning Iraq and putting military bases in Iraq is key to out interests so that we can be aware when future radical movements are birthed and present a threat to the United States of America.
USA today goes on to quote Lalor as saying the following:
“This isn’t the people 40 years ago who came to Washington to protest. These are people who want to come to D.C. so we can take the fight to (Osama) bin Laden.”
The majority of candidates running this year are definitely “anti-move” and through first hand expereince beleive that the case has been proven to them for a continued presence in Iraq.
At the beginning of the day a thought occurred to me. According to the Obama campaign, the media, and the democratic party Barack Obama has the democratic nomination locked up; I immediately thought, if Hillary Clinton wins Kentucky big the voters of Kentucky who are aware that Obama has the nomination supposedly locked up are trying to give the democratic party a huge message. The message is they are not voting for Barack Obama in the November. When individuals constantly hear over and over that there person of choice can not win. The natural inclination is to give up and not show up. In showing up and not voting for Obama these voters are sending a very loud message that they will not be voting for Obama in November. Obama has established himself as King of the Caucases but when hundreds and less turn out out of hundreds of thousands to pick a nominee; the winning candidate unless they are the landslide victor has a problem. The democratic party has a big problem
As much as people would like to call people who vote for Hillary racists. The sad truth is that they are not. The only true racists in this election seem to be Obama and Geraldine Ferraro. They are the ones with the problems. People are calling Hillary and Bill racists for comments yet Obama sat and heard racists comments against whites for twenty years and he’s supposed to be clean, This is hypocritical and as far as the media attempts to make voting for Obama some sort of strange strange status symbol they only illuminate what’s so wrong in this country and why Johnny can’t read. I have met college graduates who could not write, spell and speak standard English and high school dropouts who wrote like Pulitzer Prize winners. As we watch the taking of the democratic nomination by brokerage by ritualistically eliminating Florida (The path to the White House seems intent on disenfranchising Florida), the ignoring of incidents and associations that would have knocked a white man out of this game, we will remember this day as the day the democrats marched to failure.
In the above link democratic politico, Larry is absolutely positively positive that the ticking whitey time bomb video exists. He offers proof that he thinks that the video exists because Barack Obama goes so far as to call people “low class” for releasing videos of Michelle Obama. However Michelle is relevant we can’t have her plotting with Bin Laden’s many wives on how to blow up whitey now can we.
In any event I have heard Barack Obama say personally that he likes to appeal to casual voters that may not vote or usually do not vote. Statistically, the people who hardly ever vote are by social scientists considered the low class or the underclass and are not in the position to spread a video around the Internet. These are just the facts. Because of this I have to ask since a large part of people who are considered statistically low class are his constituents, What’s wrong with being low class, and does he have a plan to eliminate the low and the underclass once he gets in office since they are obviously never far from his mind whether he’s referring to the rural classes or the poor. What is this guy Marx or something. He show’s an incredible class consciousness that is totally unamerican.
I am quite surprised that the media has not mentioned the “low class comment” but this shows their deep seated bias against honest and fair journalism.
One day I was speaking to a friend or maybe a former friend who happens to be an Obama supporter on the phone. With many people I speak with these days it has been my policy not to speak about the presidential race especially with my elderly mother who is an avid Obama supporter who calls the campiagn on the phone giving them tips, tells her brother to email the campaign because I will not, and is literally ready to come to blows when anyone even says a hint negative about Obama. To emphasize how sensitive she is, one of the news shows did a segment about the drug border war in Mexico and she claimed the news media was picking on Obama. I had to pointedly tell her that they had not mentioned Obama’s name ,and that the war was so bad that college students who usually went to Mexico for spring break could not go because the war was so bad, the net result is according to her they were still picking on Barack Obama. I have found myself having to turn the news off for dear old mom because anytime “Obama” is criticized she starts screaming at the TV and blows her blood pressure up.
In any event the above description was a vast divergence from what I want to talk about. I was speaking to another Obama supporter who is just as obsessed with Obama, and I asked her a question about Barabara Walters. I asked her the following, “Do you think Barbara Walters came out with the information about her affair at this time to imply that Barack Obama was not being faithful to Michelle Obama and could be involved in an interracial relationships. Well the women called me the devil and hung up on me.
However, personally I have wondered why Barbara Walters chose such a time to come out with this information. For me personally, she’s saying Obama can’t possibly be being faithful to Michelle Obama, she’s just window dressing. However, from the looks of New York politics today. The joke may honestly be on Barbara. It is pretty evident in the body language displayed by Elliott Spitzer and his wife that they were in love with each other but Elliott just could not keep his hands out of the cookie jar. It is evident that the newest Governor of New York has never kept his hands out of other women’s panties and does not intend to. As for Michelle and Barack Obama, I don’t know how Obama feels about her because I have seen too many cases where the man Barack Obama who would be and probably will be president literally grovels like a dog at the feet of his Michelle. It really makes me think that she puts on the leather, cuffs him to the bed and pulls out the whip. Despite the other rumours I really don’t think there is much room in this relationship for adultery. Barack Obama seems so sanctimonious I would really be surprised if he were committing adultery, almost as surprised as the whole of New York was to find out that Spitzer was committing adultery.
Back to “Babs”
Your Senator did get a divorce and did not have an overwhelming desire to track you down and make you his bride. The fact that you have written about this incident frankly puts you in the category of the now Cambridge Scholar Monica Lewinsky, but she was between 18 and 21 this is her excuse for telling Linda Tripp that she had a carnal relationship with the President of the United States. What’s your excuse Barabara for revealing an affair that put you in the category of spitzers prostitute, or the now sitting Governor’s of New York probably over ten mistresses. Hush I know what it is it’s a slight case of Alzheimer’s, somewhere I read that you talked about his handsome mulatto looks, maybe just maybe when you are relating this affair you see Obama, Barack Obama and who know’s in your alzie dreamstate you might knock on his door one night.
The following except the headlines are all quotes from the June 2001 New York Times article except the bold and italicised emphasis text.
“The Clinton administration was widely criticized for its failure to pursue evidence that Iran was behind the bombing, but now, the Bush administration has shown that same reluctance. Prosecutors did not cite Iranian officials by name despite what some officials said was the hope of Louis J. Freeh, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that Iranian officials would be charged. Mr. Freeh, who had taken a personal interest in the case, said on Thursday that it would remain open, and Mr. Ashcroft made it clear that the United States would be willing to pursue charges against Iranian officials if more evidence emerged. “
“The Bush administration did at least acknowledge the problem, and charge someone”
“Attorney General John Ashcroft charged that Iranian officials ”inspired, supported and supervised members of Saudi Hezbollah” in the attack. But prosecutors stopped short of bringing charges against any individual Iranian officials. “
”We chose law enforcement retaliation versus military retaliation,” the former Clinton administration official said. The Khobar investigation, however, bogged down in turf battles between the F.B.I. and the Saudis. The bureau complained of a lack of cooperation from the Saudi authorities, while the Saudis privately began to complain that the Clinton administration did not seem interested in hearing about evidence that Iran was behind the attack. “ Appeasement did not work during the Clinton Administration
By 1999, the evidence linking Iran to the bombing was strong enough so that President Clinton sent a secret letter to Iran’s president, Mohammad Khatami, asking for help in solving the Khobar case. The letter was sent after the United States obtained convincing information that Iranian officials were behind the attack. The letter came in the midst of Mr. Clinton’s broader efforts to reach out to Mr. Khatami and engage the reformist forces in Iran.
But the Iranians refused to help on the case. Mr. Freeh reportedly concluded that the Clinton administration was not serious about solving the case, and he is said to have waited until Mr. Clinton left office in order to try to bring charges in the matter. The indictment came in Mr. Freeh’s last week in office as F.B.I. director.
I have tried to stand by Hillary Clinton through thick and through thin because I believe/possibly believed that she is a good woman and a qualified candidate. I am completely objective so most of the time class, racial, economic issues do not have a bearing on my judgement of character, I once took a career aptitude test long ago that said my personality was so objective that a suggested career path for me was a judge. With all of that said, I am going to say the following I do not believe that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race because she trails Obama, this is something that could have been dealt with with a good old fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates as well as an appal to the Superdelegates that she had a level head and was more qualified to lead us through these extremely tough times we live in. However lately with every word that comes out of her mouth it’s apparent to me that she does not possess the sound judgement to lead this country.
A President is supposed to want to represent ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME
I first got a strong whiff of shall I say racism when Former President Clinton said something to the effect of so what if BarackObama won South Carolina, Jesse Jackson did too. I was appalled when I heard this because I immediately recognized Clinton was saying that a black man could not win. I however remembered that the Clinton’s had solved the National debt and put some good programs on the table that helped everyone and continued to support Hillary Clinton, also because of the abortion issue with BarackObama. Bill Clinton said another thing that struck me as strange that “BarackObama was living in a Fairy Tale” At the time I thought that people were over reacting and “living in a fairy tale” was referencing the extremely white glove treatment the media was giving BarackObama; however as the race has gone on and I have heard Senators Clinton’s repetitive reference to the fact that she represents Blue Collar and White Americans, I am beginning to believe that the Fairy Tale Comment was alluding to Obama’s race and for the record I want to respond by saying that any black person who meets the criteria for running for President, by being over 35, of sound mind, and not a felon, is not living in a Fairy Tale for Thinking they could win the Presidency. Finally, the next oddity regarding the Clinton’s was the trotting out of Geraldine Ferraro who said if Obama were a white man he would not have gotten that far in the election, and I have echoed the same in this blog but the caveat is if Hillary were a white man with her credentials she would have not have gotten this far, as a matter of fact if she had been a white man she probably would have been laughed out of running for any political office as a sissy running in the coat tails of his wife. In addition as I read about Geraldine Ferraro I learned that she had deep sixed Jesse Jackson’s run for the vice presidency in 1984 or 1988 at the convention therefore resulting in a failing team of Mondale and Ferraro. I think Ferraro succeeded in deadening the ticket immediately as it was revealed that she was a former substance abuser.
A Badly Run Campaign
Hillary Clinton literally had the keys to the White House in her hand. She and Bill Clinton had left the white house and by the time they left the National Debt was eradicated, the economy was good, they had created jobs, and kept gas prices and food prices low. Bill Clinton had been a strong and a good leader and by the end of his terms left office as the Black Person’s best friend. It was very disappointing to realize during Hillary Clinton’s run for office that accentuating the positive would not be the strategy that would be used. I have written to the campaign and I said all you have to do is keep reciting the positive aspects of the Clinton years and you will win. All you have to do is state that you will continue most of the positive strategies that were used in the Clinton administration and you will win. Hillary Clinton and Gore obviously don’t think there were any or did not remember the good times of Clinton years and chose the dangerous path of trying to reinvent the wheel. I think failure to know how to Follow Bill Clinton has resulted in this dismal losing campaign. The Hillary Clinton presidential campaign is beginning to look a lot like H. Clinton’s first stab at a Universal Health Care plan it should have gone through and if you would have had to bet on it going through you would have placed your bet on Hillary and you would have lost, the Health Care Plan, did not go through, however the big caveat is that Laura Bush’s education plan did go through and make no mistake it was Laura’s plan and desire for this bill to go through. The tenets come straight from the observers point of view 1. I see really intelligent children who are just not being taught, they are being left behind. 2. I wish these children could go to quality schools like more affluent children maybe this may make the difference. etc. etc. etc. This is why the education bill was put through on day one of the Bush administration because Mrs. Bush wanted it to be put though and was willing to make it a presidential issue not a first lady issue. I say all of this to say to Hillary Clinton that sometimes you have to sit back and let others do the work for you. They will get the job done. However, Bill was not the man to run her campaign as evident in his racist comments, Bill’s Campign manager James Carville is wise enough and aware enough to have given Hillary what she wanted the Presidency but she chose to blaze her own path when everyone knows that the quickestwas to success is through imitation. Finally, the time are different and when I saw Benazhir Bhutto’s assasination I sort of knew that Hillary Clinton would not win because these are different times and what worked yesterday does not work today. Benazhir erred by sticking her head out of the van, she erred in her arrogance that she could control the situation. In the society we live in no one person can conrol everything, you have to let go, in the words of Hillary Clinton “It takes a Village” , Barack Obama has a Village
In Closing
Hillary Clinton I honestly do believethat ii is time for you to say goodbye and let Obama do the work he has to, to try and win, I personally I am holding out for McCain Rice but any superdelegate worth their salt and their elective position does not want to see you win through superdelegate votes because what this means is that they have to go back to their hometown and have people look at them as the person who may have voted for the woman who claims to be the voice of the working class and the white folks, when frankly that has always been the cry of the republicans. However democrats since the late 60’s have been the voice of minorities, the liberals, the poor, the working class, the technologists, and others. Hillary your message just is not getting through, and I seriously doubt that Super Delegates are going to risk committing political suicide by voting for you. HILLARY IT”S TIME TO GET OUT OF THE RACE STOP MAKING BILLS FOR YOU AND BILL GET OUT, AT THIS POINT YOUR RUN HAS BECOME A RICH LADY’S WHIM!
