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.
There was a time when minority people understood that just because they shared the same race with an individual this did not mean that these people shared the same agenda or in the least they were allowed to criticize or critique these minorities and what they represented and stood for. This was never so illustrated as in the contradictions between WEB Dubois and Booker T. Washington. Prior to WEB Dubois’s death he said the following to Ralph Mcgill about Booker T. Washington and Washington’s benefactors:
“I wish you had gone,” I said . “Joel Chandler Harris was a good man, as were his closest associates.”
“No,” he replied, “it was no use. He and they had no question in their minds about the status of the Negro as a separated, lesser citizen. They perhaps were kind men, as you say. They unhesitatingly lived up to a paternalistic role, a sort of noblesse oblige. But that was all. The status slowly had become immutable insofar as the South’s leaders of that time were concerned. Booker T. Washington had helped them rationalize it. I do not think that he meant to do so. But he did. In fact, he put a public stamp of acceptance on it there in your city when he spoke at the Atlanta Exposition…………in that same speech he implicitly abandoned all political and social rights.”
The recent nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the supreme court and the blank check endorsement of her by organizations that are for the advancement of minorities is highly troubling. Sotomoyar has almost publicly avowed in her appeals court decisions that she does not believe that race based discrimination exists for anyone white, black, or green unless maybe you are Hispanic.
The case African Americans should be most aware of is the King vs American Airlines case. The Kings an African American couple who prepurchased tickets were asked to get off a plane because the plane was full. There were other non-black individuals on the plane, some who had purchased their tickets on standby and were not asked to leave the plane. A lower court ruled that this black couple had been discriminated against, upon appeal to Sotomayor the case was overturned and they were directed to file a complaint with a federal agency instead of a lawsuit. This is clearly a racist attitude towards black people. In another case a black nurse was fired from a hospital the nurse claimed it was because of race, age and disability. Sotomayor threw out the race and age claims and allowed the disability claim to precede. The above cases are an obvious case of a potential supreme court judge who is not for African American individuals.
However Sotomayor is loyal and ethnocentric in her decisions regarding Hispanic plaintiffs. In a decision involving a sexual discrimination in a case where one Hispanic made lewd remarks to another Hispanic and the woman who was the target of the remarks hit the man who made the remarks resulting in a fight and both individuals being fired Sotomayor prevailed for the plaintiff the woman who threw the first hit. While the lower courts who ruled against the plaintiff probably thought that the plaintiff should have reported him immediately to management instead of hitting him. Violence in the workplace can be just as harmful as sexual harassment. The contradiction of telling the black non-violent couple to report their problems to a federal agency and ruling for a violent Latino who initiated a fight at work is clearly a contradiction that should be examined.
In addition , the appointment of Sotomayer by President Obama conflicts with his statements that he was highly disturbed with the disparities in drug sentencing by the government as well as to his commitment to his constitutional law background. In. U.S. vs Santa Sotomayor accepted evidence from a search warrant that had been vacated and was seventeen months old. While some would say that a criminal was convicted and the illegal search should stand this is clearly not what the founders of the constitution meant when they made the fourth amendment against illegal searches and seizures. I don’t think the writers of the constitution would think that the kings representatives holding an invalid warrant should have the right to knock someones door down. I don’t have to be a constitutional scholar to figure this one out.
While liberals are rejoicing at the appointment of Sotomayor by Barack Obama, they should be mindful of the fact that Sotmayor is a protege of the First George Bush who appointed Clarence Thomas and like Clarence Thomas she is Catholic. Clarence Thomas has been a reliable voice against blacks and the little striving man. Sotomayor is probably likely to walk in the shoes of Thomas unless of course if you are Hispanic and Sotomayor may be likely use her Latino wisdom to rule in favor of Latinos; unlike Thomas who has no race loyalty. President Obama is perfectly aware of the fact that Sotomayor was appointed by a republican and considers it a plus, the other plus he has for her is that she was a tough prosecutor. This flies in the face with Obama’s murmurings that he was concerned about persons of certain races and classes treated unjustly by the Justice System. Viewing the video below, one wonders what party Obama represents and if he is a trojan let in by those who so wanted to believe that he was the “Black Hope”
One hundred and five years ago WEB Dubois wrote “The problem of the twentieth century is the color line” As we are well into the dawn of the twenty-first century the problem of the twenty-first century is still the color line. It may be a flipped color line but it is the color line and one should always be mindful of King’s words “not the color of a man’s skin but the content of their character”
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!!!!!!
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.
I only had a brief glimpse of Michelle Obama’s dress as she walked across the stage but it was awesome. The yellow on black was hip and sophisticated and made a wonderful statement. I will look for pictures of the outfit and post but I honestly wanted to share with the world or even the world of one how wonderful she looked.
It was just a clip I think she wore it last night at some event for Kings birthday but I’m unsure.
Barack Obama’s recent trip to Hawaii came with photographs of his naked torso and tight abs. Nice picture for a president, the glam man but whoever protects Obama does not need to be protecting him, and if Obama is the one who persisted in staying beside a public beach and being accessible to the public. I urge him to remember Benazhir Bhutto who it looked like to me got her head shot off, but Pakistan says not, who insisted that she be a woman of the people and is know promptly dead. Obama’s handlers must take security seriously. We know he’s cute and all that fanatics don’t care about cute and will find a way to get their business done. Obama protect yourself, treat yourself and your family like all the other presidential families and keep security really high. It’s OK if we only see a glimpse of you. We don’t know if the picture of your abs were leaked or if it was a picture that someone actually got of you, but if it was a taken picture that you knew nothing about you should really revamp your security because it could have so easily been a bullet Protect yourself, no one wants Biden and nobody wanted Biden for president except you! Protect Yourself, we know you want to be a man of the people but hopefully at not the expense of losing your life. Envision a long life!
When my twelve year old first learned that Barack Obama had become president, he was flabbergasted, he asked me, should I go out and take drugs? Should I advocate Baby Killing and have my future girlfreinds have abortions? Is this what it’s going to take for me to be successful in life. Personally I wondered the same thing, it does seem like the drug addicts, abortion ladies, and alcoholics seem to be winning the game of life. Unfortunately what the economy has shown us is their wins mean a net loss for the United States in terms of quality of goods, innovations, intelligence and creativity. Lack of integrity, falsity, and immorality are wrecking our economy.
I explained to my child that just because things or people are popular this does not mean that these things are ordained by God. After the election I explained to him about Hitler having a mandate also, and what resulted from his mandate was the holocaust. I further explained to him that just as the news reported that the United States was experiencing economic distress during our election cycle, Germany was experiencing economic hardships and voted in Hitler. I further explained to him that if it’s a choice of losing your house and voting for a pro-life issue when you would never dream of having an abortion, or voting for a coke sniffer then most people are going to vote for the person on the party ticket they think will help them personally, and the Republicans had not quite convinced the majority of the United States that earns less than $40,000 that they would be there for them, the Republicans got stuck at $250,000 with Joe the Plumber and they seemed to be against the economics of a whopping 90% of the population so Obama won. This seemed like a good answer at the time. It satisfied him for two weeks.
Then he had to ask again, how could God let a baby killer be president of the united States. I have to admit that the term baby killer is not too strong a word when Barack OBama advocates abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy. My personal oppinion is if the baby is alive then C-section or induced labor is the answer and there is no such thing as aborting a baby who’s in the womb at month 9. In any event I had to explain to him that the Bible states that only a remnant of individuals will go to Heaven. This means an insy weensy bit I explained to him. I further explained to him that this is the weensy bit of people that The Bible and God felt were truly Godly. I explained to him those people who knowingly voted for Barack Obama knowing his abortion policies probably will not see God. I explained to him that God also spoke of Churches that were not preaching the word of God and the leaders of these Churches and their flocks probably would not see God either. The bible discusses False prophets and any leader of a church that calls Obama or the Obama’s Godly will most likely not see the Heaven that the bible speaks about. My son saw the flock of Ebeneezer Baptist church rejoicing when Barack won the election. I had to explain to him that this was not a Godly church even if it was the church Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in, Martin Luther King said not by the color of our skin but the content of our character. Obama has severe character flaws, I told my son that Obama’s mother had been an athiest and what we learn in the first couple of years of life according to some psychologists is who we are, if Obama could carelessly advocate abortion at nine months then this was most likely because of his upbringing. Finally I said that Obama was the result of an unplanned pregnancy and his mother may have told him many times I wish you were never born, you destroyed my life, as Obama said his daughters lives would be messed up by an unplanned pregnancy. Obama may have a secret wish to not be in this world despite his successes and may wish that his mother would have aborted him even at nine months.I told him I loved him and that the goal that he should have in life is to develop a personal walk with God. He should not be influenced by the evil in the world but should try to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
I am not going to begin to write any commentary today. The only thing I can say is I am truly afraid of Obama. The more I read the more I am disgusted by his stance on abortion. Add to that plans for a secret police made of citizens and it just smacks of Hitler’s Nazi regime.
If my memory serves me correctly Hitler had an almost pathological fascination with Youth, the youth, what the youth would do, he even went from village, province, and various other places organizing the youth. The Obama machine has done the same thing. Hitler also wanted to get rid of the undesirables. Obama has said “why would a woman want to have a down syndrome baby” and advocates getting rid of babies with defects all the way up to nine months. Obama has promised to knock down all laws against abortion as his first executive order. All of the callousness towards little babies, the most innocent of individuals leads me to believe that in Obama’s heart he must have some pretty harsh feeling towards adults he feels are undesirable and might event create some sort of Hitler plan to get rid of adults.
In any event my heart is too heavy to even contemplate what an Obama world looks like right now. I hope the world will be there for us if he turns out to be a Hitler.
I find it almost strange that people are demanding that Obama be a Hitler. Some one in the media, maybe TMZ has coined the term Obama baby which has now been added to the Urban Dictionary. The urban dictionary defines Obama Baby as the following:
“A child conceived after Obama was proclaimed President by way of celebratory sex, or any baby born under Barack Obama’s term(s).”
I suppose that these Obama babies are going to have to meet several characteristics, judging by his crowd 1.”from young mothers” 2. “can not have birth defects” 3. at this point I’m willing to believe that Barack Obama is willing to kill them after they get here. There have been so many pathological actions related to babies this decade, I’m beginning to think that hating babies is endemic to our society. Scott Peterson, and Casey Anthony are the first to come to mind. I think Casey Anthony the mother of Caylee Anthony fits the characteristics of a typical Obama follower, drug addicted, uncaring and pathological. The following video shows that Obama followers were participating in open sex and doing drugs on the ball room floor.
This is a concept advocated by Obama supporter Usher Raymond; Usher Sings Love in the Club a song about having sex with a person you’ve just met in the middle of a club. Usher chose to give his 27 year old body to a forty year old woman, with five chidren married her and had a baby with her. In the mean time he’s advocating through his illicit song love in the club that young women have sex with strangers they’ve just met possibly giving them the HIV virus or having an “Obama Baby” or an “Obama Abortion”. I have full commentary on the song here: Personally I think people who knowingly have sex unprotected and then turn around and have an abortion are criminals. The Baby Killer President has just what they need abortion up to nine months:
Abortion Links
Jill Staneck Discussing Obama’s Opposition to saving Babies Born Alive
Obama advocating Nine Month Abortions
The above videos combined with the reckless behavior of Obama followers is disturbing. Obama followers deliberately engage in behavior that could create a baby and then they go out and get an abortion as birth control.
Has any one heard of the Elder Scrolls? Well it’s this totally awesome series of games from Bethesda Soft Works. My personal favorite is Morrowind, but Oblivion is the latest elder scrolls game. Due to this fact I could not help but instantly be reminded of the Oblivion Gate when I saw Michelle Obama’s dress. The Oblivion gate is a gate to a hell like other world in the game Oblivion. I tried not to mention the hell dress but Wonkette made the hell dress reference first and I’m just putting my two cents in.
In any event here is Michelle Obama’s Dress:
Gate of Hell Dress
Here is the Video of the Oblivion Gate and the whole other world of Oblivion.
Here is a photo of Oblivion.
Oblivion Gate
In Oblivion they have various Daedra or life forces. One of the forces is the Golden Saint. See Below
golden saint
The Elder Scrolls has often used the names of various famous people to name objects, since Michelle Obama is wearing an oblivion dress maybe they’ll create some sort of Daedra named after her a female daedra dressed in black and blood red.
Halloween was several days ago maybe Mrs. Obama has been so busy she may have accidentally put on her Halloween costume to stand by the side of what will be the first Black President of the United States, maybe they were out of suits and ball gowns that night, hell since they were outside even some slacks and a nice blouse would have been appropriate. Was she out of those too?
As for the dress in the first photo, the models are 20 Michelle Obama is 40+. In January she will officially be in her mid 40’s. As Michelle Obama represents the United States in more conservative parts of the world such as North Korea she may want to start dressing like she’s in her mid 40’s. You’re old enough to run for president baby and your figure knows it. Palin and Condi have much hotter figures but they have never abandoned their conservative looks as they represent the United States. Finally, Michelle Obama may have thought Barack Obama had a good chance of losing so she wore the red blood of the people and the black skin of the people on her back. Yeah I had that shirt too when I was much younger:
Finally we may never see Michelle Obama in a suit again because she may be protesting Western Culture and the White Man or if she’s like me when you buy a suit you have to face the fact of what your actual dress size is. For me I am going to put Beyonces figure with my face on my dream board and use the secret to get my body in shape.
On the positive side Michelle Obama’s hair and makeup looked great and the children looked totally awesome, they had on great little dresses, and if a mother has to choose between herself and her children, surely the children come first and they did. Finally Michelle Obama has to be admired. She worked hard with Barack Obama to win the presidency. I think that that’s so wonderful. Love her or hate her Michelle Obama is a total winner.
As Barack Obama gussies himself up for small town America almost everyday, telling them how he’s the new Messiah to their problems and how much he loves them. He hopes that they will forget that he said the following about small town America to a sophisticated, rich, liberal, well heeled crowd:
“it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations”
As we all know Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama this past Sunday. Having been around conservative blacks and foreign blacks, I wonder what the conversation centered around. As a native African American who’s ancesters actually particpated in the Civil Rights Movement, who has relatives who still live on the 40 acres and a mule land. I would like to know what the butt kissing have my son appointed to head of the FCC under the Clinton Administration West Indian Colin Powell and Kenyan American Barack Obama discussed behind closed doors. Please excuse me for my language but I will take my implied right as an African American to use the following word, but I bet the conversation was about
American Niggers
Colin Powell reveals much about what the converation was about when he says the following,
” Should the mixed-race Obama win on November 4, “all Americans should be proud, not just African-Americans,” he added”
Some people may take this to mean that oh Powell is just talking about Obama’s American white mother and his Ghanian father, but for me this small statement indicates that there was a discussion, or a thought that neither Colin Powell nor Barack Obama are descendants of American slaves who had the worst slave expereince of all slaves in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. The discussion or thought may have been on Colin Powells Side I’m West Indian and I am nothing like those African Americans, and on Barack Obama’s side I don’t have any of that nigger or slave blood in me whatsoever my father was Kenyan, I’m pure African, there are no ties to those African Americans and I’m going to show them too. We are going to bring about great change in their lazy chicken eating inferier lives. I don’t know what’s wrong with African American blacks. Huh Colin Powell says I’m West Indian and I beat those African Americans to Secretary of State. I just don’t think they have the strength of will or the intelligence to even make it up there first. The conversation ends with all of the various stereotypes of black people they aren’t hard working, they are stupid, etc, etc, etc,
Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama
Let’s see how many black people get nominated for black projects if Obama wins. I predict the most oppressive “regime” ever will be under Barack Hussesin Obama for the powerless, black, Hispanic, Female, and the disenfranchised black and white. We can just begin by the liberal media’s reaction to the RNC purchasing Sarah Palin clothes. We used to be the most powerful country in the world and the leader of democracy which the international community looked at as an example. The Republicans recognized their historical role and made sure their candidate was well dressed in the best clothing the United States had to offer not the mediocre or the worst but the best because the United States is suppossed to be the best no matter what it costs and the liberal media outlet cried out that this was wrong. The practice of making sure a person is in their ceremonial best was frowned upon and scorned by the press, indicating to me any movement towards pulling people really out of their situations will be frowned upon. Sure the poor will get food stamps, but programs aimed at giving the poor an equal shot as a banker, making poor women web designers, or sales professionals will just not be the way the democrats will want to go because they thrive on superiority, their mojo comes from the fact that they are better then this guy and that guy. Obama used to talk about it all the time. Michelle and I he would say are both Ivys, he said, and wouldn’t it be great if everyone could be one. Unfortunately, Michelle needs to go and take some how to pronounce the English language like I’m not from the South Side of Chicago classes. I have known women who were from the Ghettos of the South Side of Chicago who’s parents still live there in tenements and they have learned to lose their south side accent relatively quickly like immediately, if seven years of Ivy league education can’t help one in the couple of the Obama’s lose their accent, maybe the Ivy’s are not cracked up to be what they are supposed to be. I sure know Condi did not attend the Ivys, she did however study under the father of a former Secretary of State Madeline Albright and she makes me proud as an African American.
You know all of the nonsense attacks against Sarah Palin in the last days of the campaign may backfire. I am serving the media notice if you continue to attack Sarah Palin and her family in the last days of the election your darling Obama will lose. I keep changing my mind on who to vote for because of the negative campaigning of the campaigners or their surrogates and the media is the surrogate of Obama.
As for the RNC purchasing Sarah Palin clothing, I say Kudos for the Republicans for recognizing what Palin needed and giving it to her. Too many times money and clothing are barriers to a woman achieving. I think the Republicans more so than the democrats have always showed a willingness to see beyond a lack of and work with it. Case in point Suze Orman, and I ‘m not sure the people she dealt with were Republicans, but she said the following or something to the effect of the following (abridged version); I marched into Merrill Lynch after they had taken my money, and I demanded that they give me a job, the manager at the firm said OK and gave me some money to go and purchase some clothes because he said my clothes were inappropriate. This is the Republican way. They are not going to let a lack of keep a valuable team member from being the best she can be. I say Kudos to the Republican Party.
The second issue is Palin’s family traveling on Alaska. The people of Alaska knew Governer Palin had five children when they elected her. I love seeing her family together. It’s so “American”. I know every time she takes her family with her whenever she represents Alaska as Governor this helps the citizens of Alaska. Finally most of the people reporting this most not realize that Alaska has a lot of money. They treat their citizens very well. I knew someone who came to Nashville to go to college from Alaska. Alaska paid her full tuition, she also had enough money left over to pay for an apartment and still had extra. I think the media needs to leave Alaska alone. They have a good thing going.
Finally I would like to mention that early in the primaries, the Obama’s children were at some sort of coffee shop or coffeehouse in an early state and I saw the camera pan over to one of the Obama’s children and their hair was not combed and sticking straight up in the air. I thought to myself boy if elected is this what we are going to send overseas. This is going to get embarrassing, maybe some campaign money should have been used to comb their children’s hair. I don’t think the world thinks that uncombed hair is self sacrificing, it makes the world wonder if America is too poor to get their leaders children’s hair hair combed. (I only saw this once, and it was flashed on very quickly) The RNC made sure this never happened to them. One could argue that we are dealing with different textures of hair but I had to give Cindy Mccain Kudos when she presented her obviously black daughter with her hair “laid”. Most people do not have the mind to know what to do with a “colored” girls hair but Mrs. McCain knew. She also knew to dress every member of her family well and has maintained very high standards for herself in her appearance. This is one example that every first lady I’ve ever seen has done, is maintain a decent appearance. If Michelle Obama can not do this if her husband is elected; I hope people don’t think that this is how the average black person maintains their appearance. Michelle has been doing better lately but I think my example for how a high powered black woman maintains herself would be Condi Rice. I know Condi has handlers but she looks great all of the time so I’m pretty positive she knows how to use a curling iron, and possibly put in her own perm, with Michelle Obama I’m not so sure. I think she should learn to love wigs.
I had to think clearly on how I would craft my words to indicate that after learning that Hillary Clinton refused to appear at a rally with Sarah Palin, that I thought that Hillary Clinton was being chauvinistic towards Sarah Palin. Hillary’s behavior indicates that she wants no part of the baking, dinner cooking, baby having, dish washing segment of women. While I suppose Hillary Clinton defines a chauvinist as a man that expects a woman to cook and clean and have babies and wear skirts. Others may define a chauvinist as a person who fails to appreciate cooking, child bearing, dresses, and the beauty of being a woman, and the fact that women have just as much power in heels, perfume, and a dress as men have in any power play they may think of. Hillary would fall in the second category of folks. Hillary Clinton through her treatment of Palin has indicated that she has no respect and appreciation for a woman being a woman, and her definition of equality is a woman in pants. It is ironic that many of the women never actually picked up on Hillary Clinton’s scorn of regular women until Sarah Palin came along. We with the exception of the majority of black women [who suffer more from chauvinism and just bad treatment from their men more then any other group] were willing to support Hillary no matter what our backgrounds. However Hillary showed her scorn of that support when she refused to attend the same event as a regular woman chosen to be the VP for the Republican party. As women we were disgusted and angered by the jokes regarding Hillary Clinton’s pants and her male like attitude. We thought that these jokes were aimed at Hillary just because she wanted to touch the the moon and the sky. However with Hillary’s treatment of Palin we were shocked to realize that Hillary really thought like a man so much so to be a chauvinist towards women who baked cookies.
Arrange Palin’s last name in a different way and you get Plain, “plain old woman” with the hopes of a woman, the feelings of a woman, and the willingness to risk like the American Spirit. The thing that most women really admire about Sarah Palin is that she was able to transcend the elitist garbage put out my women like Hillary that just because you actually love and want to be with your husband, that you don’t mind cooking dinner, that you are willing to put on a short skirt and makeup, that you actually have lots of sex as indicated by your five children, you can still be somebody in life, and have aspirations. Unlike the democrats, the Republicans did not say oops being a normal woman is a mess up, lets put our hope in the youth, you’ve messed your life up. The Republicans said bring it on, if you’re up to the job let’s do it.
Many people have indicated that Hillary Clinton is working so hard for Barack Obama becuase she hopes to win if he loses the next round. Unfortunately, Clinton in her refusal to appear at a rally that Palin attended indicates that “no” she does not really want to be president because she does not want to represent all of us. Hillary is essentially saying louder than any words that she does not embrace the diversity of women out there no matter who or what they represent. I think the electorate is smart enough to realize that just because Hillary Clinton attends a rally with Sarah Palin this does not indicate an endorsement. Hillary Clinton had the opportunity to say that American stood strong on an issue no matter what their political party and instead chose to renege on an agreement because she did not want to be seen with Sarah Palin.
There are many issues and events that I believe Hillary Clinton should have pulled back on that would have showed her solidarity with women and would have stood as an example to all women that we are not door mats and should be respected but instead she’s made herself a door mat and has created a Theme Song for herself that’s Beyounces “Got Me Feeling Crazy Right Now” . The refrain is:
“Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your love’s got me lookin so crazy right now
(your love)
Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch’s
Got me lookin so crazy right now
(your touch)
While normal women accept that all women have problems and subscribe that no woman should be judged or looked down upon. and continued to support Hillary, myself included. She returned the favour by snubbing a women that more women relate to than they do to Hillary Clinton. The majority of us want children, the majority of us want a husband that at least appears loyal, and most of us if we do have a loyal husband want more than one child. We subscribe to Fairy Tales, and Rags to Riches and while Hillary has achieved a lot more than most and has even been the ultimate Princess, the First Lady. I think the majority of us are more like Princes DI we are not going to stand for the *&%T, and our not going to stick around for fame and glory at the expense of our feelings, and our self respect. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton has not subscribed to that philosophy and has made herself a perpetual door mat.
We all know what she went through with Bill in the Arkansas Governors mansion, what is it they say he would pretend to go for a jog, and have the Arkansas State Troopers meet him and escort him to a sexual encounter, and let’s not mention Monica and others. All of this is still OK, this is her personal life and it is nobody’s business what happens in her personal life, but in the least she should have announced a public separation from Bill for just a little while but instead she stuck around and who knows maybe it was worth it and maybe it wasn’t but the message she sent out by sticking with such a man is not a message I want my children to receive. While this is enough to give Hillary the ultimate door mat status. I think anything Bill did to Hillary can not come close to how she has been treated by the democratic party. Michigan actually gave Obama the undecided votes which comprised of votes for Edwards, Richardson, and anyone else, as well as the write in vote, as well as gave him extra votes based on Exit Polls. “EXIT POLLS” THEY TOOK HER DELEGATES AWAY BASED ON AN EXIT POLL. In addition Hillary was promised a roll call vote at the convention and it was never given, “NEVER GIVEN”. There are probably a lot more transgressions I can think of perpetrated against Hillary Clinton by the Democratic Party. Yet Dear Old Hillary is now campaigning for Barack Obama and refusing to appear with the Republican female VP. THIS IS A DOORMAT AND NOT THE WAY TO GET MY VOTE NEXT TIME> I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE APPRECIATIVE OF HILLARY, IF SHE WOULD HAVE JUST DROPPED FROM THE SCENE. I think the lesson that Hillary must learn is no matter what social class, no matter what educational level or income that a woman owes herself self respect first and self respect does not have a look, it has a feeling deep inside of a woman that everyone recognizes.
While Hillary Clinton refuses to be seen publicly with a woman that exemplifies the old perfume commercial “Enjoli” everyone over thirty may remember the “Enjoli Lyrics:
“I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan. And never let you forget you’re a man. Because I’m a woman, Enjoli”
Hillary keeps campaigning for a man and a party that used back alley tactics to take away her chances of being president and refused to make her VP because he and they were not strong enough to do it. Whether Obama wins or loses, I will now think of Hillary Clinton in the light of the lyrics in “Crazy in Love”.
Got me looking so crazy, my baby
I’m not myself lately
I’m foolish, I don’t do this
I’ve been playing myself
Baby I don’t care
Cause your love got the best of me
And baby you’re making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don’t care who sees
Cause baby you got me so crazy
The Obama campaign is responding to rumours of a Michelle Obama whitey tape with the response that no tape of this nature exists. They have put up a website entitled http://fightthesmears.com . They are discounting the whole issue as a Republican smear tactic.
I have been hearing on the news for several days now that Hillary Clinton campaign supporters were making the claim that sexism had been used by the media mailnly and some by the Obama campaign in the race for the democratic nomination. I can honestly say, that I know that the Obama campign is racist against some white women, I know this from first hand observation. It was never a sexist thing for me it ws a race thing. However afer reading Washington Post’s columnists Howard Kurtz article entitiled “The Sisters are Steamed“, I amdisgusted by all that I have not heard. While I am not sure if it influenced the election.
