"Pres. Obama: No More "Mr. Nice Guy!!!""

Wow...

This present political environment is some very exciting stuff... :)

Let me say that Pres. Obama did what he does best as he presented the "State of The Union" address - "Turned on the Charm!!!"
He gave me that "warm and fuzzy" feeling again...
Man that really did feel good...
Check it: From the sound of Pres. Obama tone he has taken up a new lease on life - "No more Mr. nice guy!!!"
Culturally Speaking, Pres. Obama is a "Come lately" but (first big but in the room) like LBJ - better late than never!!!

The first example his new lease was seen with his starch rebuke of the Supreme Court Justices on the Campaign finance ruling lately...
The quote from the speech:
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections," Obama told a packed House of Representatives chamber Wednesday night.


This type of open rebuke is the number one trait of a true leader... Pres. Obama has tried to be too much liked by both sides even to his own detriment... Now he has finally realized that he will never satisfy everyone all the time so "
Lead he must do!!!"
Pres. Obama does not have the be an "Apologetic Bipartisan Unifier" for history's sake because history is own his side... He only has to do as all those that came before him do the job "We as people" voting him in to do... What is that job - take care of all of US(A) as he would his own...
That is pretty simple...
Yes, it is going to be hard but (another big but in the room) he is the man up for the challenge...

Wow...

Now I am not going to do what a lady who called into the TJMS yesterday did when she made the statement, "Pres. Obama should do more..." When Thom asked her "what is the more he should do?" she had no answer... Wow... Roland Martin talked with William Darity, Arts & Sciences Professor of Public Policy, Professor of African and African-American Studies and Economics and Secondary Appointment of Economics at Duke University, about what the Pres. should do to turn this economy around... Dr. Darity's answer was the best answer I have heard from anyone on this subject which I hope the Pres. heard... Dr. Darity said that the President should implement a government funded work program for all Americans...
This is what I need as an American citizen, a guaranteed government job...
Wow...
This is some good stuff...
Can you feel me...
I Know you do...

You guys know that at times I like to keep it interesting so here goes... What if the President stepped out on a limb and implemented this "government guaranteed work program for all Americans..." Would the Congress support it??? I dare say no...
Should he do it???
I say yes...

Do you feel me???
I hope you do...

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Careful Urgency!!!""

Wow...

This is some great stuff...
Let's get right at it...
So now is the day for the State of the Union" address by this First African American President in the History of this country... History is on this "black man's" side because he is charting new territory and I think he gets that... The one thing that is most important for his speech tonight is his honesty to "We the People!!!" That is the one virtue that made Obama the candidate the perferred choice over all the rest - we the people believed him... Ok he has not be able to deliver on several of the promises he put forth in the campaign and there are several reasons why, but Pres. Obama must let US(A) feel that he has worked tirelessly trying to do the peoples business...

Wow...
Culturally Speaking, Charles Shultz once used the phrase "Careful Urgency" to describe the situation we faced as a nation in the early Nuclear buildup of nation... I believe this phrase is very applicable now as a result of the economic situation we are in presently... Pres. Obama came into this office with this understanding thus the mantra - "Yes We Can!!!" He must remind the American people not to think like "Humpty Dumpy" because no one can do anything by ones self it always takes the help of someone else...
He must get US(A) all back to the "Yes We Can" feeling of the "Audacity of Hope and Virtue..."
This is what cause all of us to believe that we could change our nation for the better... Pres. Obama must remind US(A) that now it is the "Audacity of Carefull Urgency" that will get US(A) through this - And through this we will...

Wow...
Can you feel me???
Say "yes yes yes we can!!!"

"Pres. Obama: "Meet the Browns!!!""

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Let's get right at it... First please allow me to say that CNN has done an excellent job with round the clock coverage of the "Haiti crisis... " Even Solidad found her "Soul Sista" in this story... I know it had to be very hard to report this kind of human suffering and dismay, but ( first big phat but in the room) your staff did it with excellence and grace... For this CNN, "We Salute you!!!" Now get Anderson out of there... He deserves some "R&R" at a ski lodge in Colorado... :)

Secondly, how is it that all these "whiners" are stealling all the headlines when the true facts are that this nation is rebounding with leaps and bounds... Ok, lemme see; "SPoil Kids" get their way... God forbid... Pres. Obama when these spoil kids act out, put them in "Time out!!!" "We" the people of these United States of America, have a nation to re-build...

And thirdly, Mr. President, If I have said this once I have said it a thousand times - "Tax the Church..." Check it: The Churches of this nation are acting more like corporations and political groups than a sancuary, therefore they should pay taxes like all the rest of US(A)... The solution to all of our financial problem is the taxation of the church... The church is not doing it's job of taking care of the poor and homeless; so tax them and balance the budget... That's my take on it...

Wow...
It really felt good to get that off my chest... So let's get to the most exciting news of the week... "Pres. Obama, "Meet the Browns..."" (No pun intended...) Let me say that it is always a good thing when new blood enters politics; you get tired of chewing on the same folks over and over again... The "Reps" are always trying to duplicate an "original..." It's sorta like bootleg DVD's... The cover always looks good but (big phat copyright infrang but in the room) the content is obstructed and mostly out of focus...
Mr. Brown has a lot to learn and I am sure you Mr. President will help him get off to a really good start... Where is Sarah when you need her...
Need I say more...
I did not think so...

Wow...
SOme really good stuff...
Huhhhhhh???
So whats up with all the hating on the "Big Three" these days... It must be racism at it's highest peak... Our great nation has been run by old white men for centuries and no-one was hating... Ok maybe they didn't like some their policies but ( big hating on the minorities but in the room) there was not outright racism toward them... Now that the "Old White Boys' Club" has put US(A) on welfare we elect a black man and two old white women (big three) to get US(A) out; yet the "OWBC" members are hating...
Whats up???
Are they afraid that the majority of this nation will make them look bad so they got to be hating??? Or is it that they just would rather keep that "White House Nigger" in the "Field" and the two " old White Women" in "Kitchen???"
"What is that about...
When "Bush" was in charge of the "OWBC," he got what he wanted by "hook or crook" and no-one was hating on him... By the way, that is why we are in the situation we are in now... Now that Pres. Obama - a black and two white female senior citizens are in charge we have race, age, and gender discrimination toward the "Big Three!!!" That should be a offence to every senior citizen, black, and female in the nation... I am not hating, just making an observation... We have only been through one year and racist right are calling a names...
Shame, shame, shame... It seems that the rest of the world understands the teasure we have in these three highly respected leaders and are willing to give them a fair break... Rightly so because between them there is more education in the room than most corporate boards... Cant say that about the last "OWBC" members...

Wow... Ok no racist remarks toward me because I don't have to be politically correct... Do you feel me???
I know you do...

"Pres. Obama: "Meet the Browns!!!""

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Hope and Virtue!!!""

Wow...
There is a lot of stuff we need to address, so let's get right at it...
First of all, somebody need to tell CNN that "Anderson Cooper" is in to deep and he should be brought home ASAP... There is lots of death all around him and after a while it will began to affect him in a harmful way... It is time for some R&R and counselling for him... That is my take on it...

Secondly, Obama has really done a super job with the quake response... I believe that because he has been so out front on this event, lives were saved... To you Mr. President, we say, "Bravo!!!" It is now time for the Haitians to take charge of their situation as soon as possible...

Wow...

This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday...
Culturally Speaking, we could not be alive in a more fascinating and culturally exciting time in history than this...
Wow...
So now lets talk about this one year anniversary of the "Obama Phenom..." What grade does he get for all his work and efforts???
Culturally Speaking, He has superceded most, if not all, of his predecessors...

Yes, there are wars, quakes, economical struggles, and terrorist at large on every hand but (wow, first big but in the room) "these still be some exciting times..." So today as I reflect on a hard troded year of a first term/first time African-American President, I reflect back to a day one year ago... I reflect because reflection is the evidence of what our expectations are built upon... So now today, one year later, where are we "Culturally???"

Culturally Speaking, we are better today than we were one year ago... I dare say that it is not for the "weak" to be the judge of a years' performance... No it is not even for the "strongest of the strong" to judge our advancement today... No, no - I say it is US(A) who carry that burden of passing judgement on a years' time of work...
Where have we come and from where are we destined to go... If the question leads us to reflect then we are in the right place ... If the question causes us to be disdained then we are "the we" who choose to be part of the problem rather the solution... If the answer to the question leads us to say, things have not change and hope has dwindled, then we are the strong and would see thing the same way regardless of its actual truths...

So "Culturally Speaking" we are better today than a year ago because we are "Conversing!!!" We are conversing with the left, the right, the old, the young, and all that don't look like we do... So as we reflect, let us ask ourselves a question: "what have we done to progress this nation to it's place of prosperity and nobility???"

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnygQ02aW4]

Wow...
As I listen to the speech of a year ago from the First African-American man to ever take the helm of this great nation as President; I say "We the people have not done enough..." We have not firmly grabbed hold of the "hope" that this energetic man so easy secure; "we must do more..." It is up to all of US(A) to stand up and be accounted for the "hopes and virtues" that we so easily proclaim that we believe in...

If one ask me how has Obama done in his first year in office, I would have to say that the man did what he said he would do in his inauguration speech... "What have we done- is the question???"
I still say to Pres. Obama these things:
Pres. Obama, let the "Nay-sayers - Nay!!!" Mr President, "let the "Whiners" whine... This nations, to some degree has lost it's soul and has become a nation of "Whiners!!!" I believe that LBJ respected MLK because MLK did not 'whine..." Men of WWI, WWII, and Viet Nom were not whiners but their babies are...
So Pres. Obama, stay the course... For history has record the plight of the likes of Christopher Columbus when all seem lost, he stayed the course...
Pres. Obama, keep the wind to your back... And when the winds die down and they will; keep your ship headed in the right direction... The winds will come again because they always do...
Pres. Obama, keep your eyes fixed on the goals which you layed out in your inaugural speech for that is the "hope and virtue" we are all looking for...

Wow...

So one year is gone and we are still here but (yes another big but in the room) we are better than we were last year because we have "hope..."
No-one can deny that President Obama stopped the bleeding and has stablized this patient - America... And most importantly, the patient has started to breath on her own; she has color back in her face; and by the grace of God, she will be up and running soon...

So what is the state of our Union - better than it was at this time last year...

So again, yes we can...
Do you feel me???
I hope you do...

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of "Skin Lightener" and a "Harvard Education!!!""

Wow...

Is this some exciting stuff or what???
Lets get right at it...
Check it: It appears that the Reps leadership has resorted to finger-pointing as an effective way to hedge up their weakened position against the Democratic controlled congress... I have one thing to say, "stick to "stonewalling" - it suit you better...

The book "Game Change," a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the 2008 campaign, said Reid had been "wowed" by Obama and said that the country was ready for a black President, especially one who was "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/01/10/gops-steele-calls-for-reid-to-step-down-as-leader-because-of-ra/

Senator Reid, in Pres. Obama words, probably "Acted Stupidly" but (a big Jim Crow-ley but in the room) certainly not a "racist remark..." Culturally Speaking, Senator Reid's choice of words to describe, then candidate Obama, in terms of his skin tone and dialect; speaks more of his age than his (GOP) assumed racist belief... TJMS fequently refers to African-Americans as "light skin vs dark skin..." This has been the conversation of the African-American community for centuries...

So lets see, instead of a "beer summit" how about the "School Daze" summit... I can see it now, Pres. Obama, Senator Reid, Senator Byrd, and a host of others having popcorn and soda as they view "School Daze" in the "white house theatre..."

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtfEmTHeYNw]

Here is a bit of the "School Daze" Synopsis: As Half-Pint tries unsuccessfully to impress the Gammas with his inept womanizing, Dap engages in philosophical debates with Rachel (Kyme), his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the light-skinned, straight-haired sisters of the Gamma Ray sorority battle it out in a beauty parlor with their darker-skinned, Afro-headed fellow co-eds.

Enough said???
I thought so...

Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
How is it that the Reps are saying there was not a terrorist attack on Bush watch??? That proves that they are incapable to tell the truth when it comes to Pres. Obama...
They are constantly telling untruths and exaggerations of the facts from health care to terror...
It is a matter of ethics...
Above all things, the leaders of our country must be ethical and call a "spade a spade..."
Need I say more???
I did not think so...

Wow...

This week Pres. Obama, stood up and took responsibility for the security failures that lead to a near christmas day disaster... It was an honorable move but not one that should be repeated in the future... Either the people in leadership positions can do their jobs effectively or they should be fired and replaced with someone who can... "Skin lightner and a Harvard education" will not save the Pres.'s hide when an incompetent appointee drops the ball again... If they can't "toe the line" then they should be replaced... Enough said...

Wow...
For the sake of debate, how is it that the Dutch allowed a would be bomber to get on a plane with out luggage and who paid for his ticket with cash and not search him thoroughly??? Do the Dutch have something to do with aiding the terrorist or do we as a nation have enemies in the camp??? The circumstances behind this terrorist attack or almost laughable if it were not so serious... No - one who has ever had anything to do with security could have stood still while this young man boarded an international flight... This is Pres. Obama's "Bay of Pigs..." How he handled the preps from this point forward will be the determining factor whether or not terrorist will continue to try to do us harm...
Here are some ideas how we should attack terrorism as a culture...
1-We should beef up our military to be able to bring overwhelming force to any and all nations who "harbor" terrorist...
2-We should put bounties on all known and suspected terrorist to encourage bounty hunters to hunt them down and turn them in ... Did I say, "Dead or a live???
3-We should declare war on Yemen and take their oil to fund it ...
4-We should run a US flag up in Iraq and take their oil as payment for all the war we have already levied there in "Bush's" name...
5-We should use dogs to find road-side bombs and send thousands in our kennels over to afghan and Iraq to do just that...
Last but not least, we should release thousands camels in Afghanistan and Yemen for the civilians to catch and eat... Full people don't wage war...
Need I say more...
I did not think so...

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Do you feel me???
I hope you do...
