The Economy Fix

If you want to fix the economy it’s not as hard as you think. If you want jobs to come back to America all you‘ve got to do is one thing, GIVE GRANTS.
End the war and give the money out in Grants.

Right now Grants are given primarily to the tax exempt crowd. (the 501c3)
Change it. Make Grants available for the private sector. What does this do?

For Housing it will go like this. Give Grants for people to buy foreclosed and tax reposition houses along with money to fix them up and bring them back to code. The Grant will be for long term ownership. This goes for existing home owners also who want to fix up their homes. Buying a house on a Grant eliminates a mortgage. Payments are made to the Grantor at low interest. Bringing the house up to code will create jobs in the building industry.

Give Grants too and for Business. It will go like this. After an approved business plan a Grant will be given for the implication of that plan at low interest stimulating the building, office and communication industries as well as the new entity.

What I’m trying to get at is, you can’t horde the money but if you give it away for innovation you get it back in taxes. (Payroll, income, sale, and business taxes.) People go to work and hire each other. This is what America is about, small business. By getting back to small business, jobs will be created that won’t be jobbed or out sourced out as fast. Fare competition will dictate the market and its prices, its wages, and the cost of everything. And industry will advertise and when they do, “Let Us Mind Your Business”

Bitter

Here we go again; we’ve got more nonsense in this campaign. Let me paraphrase; Obama says when folks are down and out and have nowhere to turn, their job and or their government has made them frustrated because they can’t seem to get an ear from anyone that could or will help them, or be sympathetic with concerns and relief that could ease some of their problems that were not their fault. As far as the government is concern, for too many years the people have had no voice. It seems that the government doesn’t care about them, so what do they do? They tend to cling to the things they feel that eases that pain, like religion or their guns etc. etc.

Obama said he missed spoke and that he was sorry. He clarified the statement but it won’t die.

Media reported that people were offended and that Obama was an elitist. Well here I go.

The people that were offended have never been down and out. They may think they’ve been but if you were offended then you haven’t been; here’s why.
When you’ve been down and out you turn to God more then you’ve ever have before in your life. I mean really down and out and if you are a believer. You understand that God can fix everything if you believe and have the faith of a mustard seed. Obama understands this so he said it, not well, but that’s what he was trying to say. When you’re down and out you pray long and hard, not that you don’t do this anyway, but when you’re down and out with no place to turn, you step it up a little and what do you do next? You do the things you enjoy to ease the pain. Some people pick up their hunting, or fishing patterns, and some people who don’t have guns or hunt, they pick up something they enjoy and do it more than they used too. It eases your mind from the trouble. Obama understands this so he said it, not well. How do I know this, because it’s Me.? The thing I do differently is I ride my ten speed. Not that I don’t ride my bike regularly, but I do it more because I love it so. Not that I don’t pray, but I do it more and give thanks more and I will never, never change that now that I’ve picked up the pace and have seen the results. I’m very thankful. Am I bitter, not any more? Was I, kind of? Did I understand Obama, yes? Why, because I was down and out and he was talking to me.

You folks that have not been there, stay offended, please. I pray you never have to change your position. I wouldn’t want to wish that on anybody, but let me tell you, your position will change if you were really down and out and had nowhere to turn, then you’d understand what Obama was trying to say.

Chuck Todd said today

I like Chuck Todd, the numbers man at MSNBC, but this time he stopped me in my tracks. I heard what I’m about to say before but this time I can’t let it go.

To paraphrase, Chuck said in order to validate Obama’s nomination; he has to impress white people more then he is. He needs the numbers of the white vote to be equal to the numbers he had in earlier primaries or the super-delegates may back off. This made me lose it.

I gathered this opinion as him saying; do better with the white vote or it could be too bad for Obama as far as super-delegate support is concern. To my surprise, he never said that Hillary needs to be more impressive in the black vote in order to validate her chances, or too bad for her. I think if Hillary can’t do better with the black vote then in my eye, she’s dead as far as the supper-delegates too. See how silly this dialog is.

In order to for our party to make a statement like this it means they’re going to take the black for granted like they always do. (NOT THIS TIME) Our party always thinks that the black vote is automatic.

The only big blemish on Obama is Rev. Wright, but for Hillary, It’s Bosnia, Penn, the hospital, taxes, and her Husband; In other words, lying, manipulating, and deceit. Hillary is having a problem with honesty. Do the super-delegates and the working class whites want a liar, manipulator, and deceiver in office as president, isn’t that what we’re trying to get away from.

So biography is an issue for Obama. He’s so clean he’s considered too new. He carries no baggage so he can’t be trusted? Needless to say in order for him to rise to the office of Senator; don’t you think the other candidates that ran against him would have fond some garbage on him that somebody could use? How naïve (typical) is the white vote if that’s the thinking. If so, it goes to show you that you can be a liar, manipulator, be deceitful but be white and be accepted. You can be honest, impressive, intelligent, articulate, organized, and qualified but be black and you scare me. Sounds like bull feces to me.

Who anointed the white vote or should I narrow it down to the white working class to be the barometer in this campaign. Why not let the poor or working poor black people who are the victims of institutional racism votes be the barometer. They don’t count? Does anybody poll them? Doesn’t this sound like a candidate not appealing to all of the electorate? Is the electorate the white working class or all of the people? GET THIS STUIPED RACE, GENDER AND RELIGION BULL MESS OUT OF THIS ELECTION, PLEASE? LETS GET PASS THIS, IT AN OLD RECORD AND IT MAKES ME MAD. HELL, GROW UP. I know you can’t, how naïve (typical) I am. I know you won’t, how naïve (typical) I am. I know you don’t want too, how naïve (typical) I am.

Because of all this mess, I’m beginning to think based on objectivity, a vote for Hillary or McCain is because you’re in denial, racist or ignorant. (Ignorant meaning you don’t know and you don’t know that you don’t know.)
Denial, (You know this country needs to go in another direction and that the face of America is ugly right now and we suck, but change could effect your small peace of the world. You also know that it’s no difference between the Clintons or McCain as far as power is concern. Inter deals will continue to be made, so everything is just fine.) Racist, (You know that integrity, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and organization is in Obama, but you can’t see your self voting for a black man, something’s got to be wrong with him if we can just wait. He just can’t be that damn good, could he?)
Stick around, you’ll find out starting Jan. 20 2009.

The Dream Ticket

What’s this dream ticket stuff? Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama, forget it.
Obama doesn’t need Hillary; he needs a white southern decorated war hero to compete with McCain and his foreign policy.

Who does Hillary need? She needs her Husband Bill or a white southern decorated war hero to compete with McCain.

Who does McCain need? He needs Colin Powell. The retired General will awaken the black vote if the Democrats give the nomination to Hillary and Obama is ahead in delegates, popular vote, and states won.

When will the Democratic nominee be named? Only North Carolina knows for sure.

Typical White women

There have been some things in the news being said about Obama’s statement pertaining to his Grandmother being a typical white women. What is a typical white woman? Let’s define typical. {Conventionally distinguished}, {to pick out within one’s perception, old hat, collective, characteristic, symbolic, conforming to a type, (especially visual}

Let’s break this down. It’s typical to run around a track counter clock wise but some people do run around a track clock rise. It’s typical to drive an automatic car with one foot, but some people do drive one with two feet. Hold on to that thought for awhile.

I’m a business consultant and a black man. Part of my work requires me to be in office buildings that are dominated with white office workers. In my routine I’ve noticed that white women will not ride an elevator with me alone. They'll chose to take the stairs regardless if they’re wearing 4” spiked heels or I’m going up or down. I carry a briefcase and I’m dressed professionally. I can also speak the Queen’s English. This happens to me 99/44/100% of the time. To me it’s typical that white women will not ride an elevator with me alone. Oh, you say it’s the signs of the times. It doesn’t change my visual perception, and it doesn’t change my thinking, so I can say white women don’t ride elevators with black men alone. I see black women ride elevators with white men alone.

I walk into a room and white women pick up their purses and put them on their shoulders. To me it’s typical, white women gather their purses if a black man is around. I could go on and you’d be surprised but I think you’ve got the picture. You see, typical is in the eye and life experiences of the individual telling the story.

White people don’t experience the life and visual perceptions of black people. We all want the same thing, but because of this word (typical) some of us are put into groups that we don’t belong, compromising our ability to obtain what we all want. I watched a news castor act completely surprised that the two black people he was interviewing had two different opinions on the subject mater about a black entertainer. He was befuddled. We weren’t typical in his minds eye.

Obama’s grandmother acted a particular way when she saw people of color. By watching her, he saw and formed opinions. When things didn’t change as he grew older, and he watched these things happen to him, to him it was typical.
If you listen to his entire statement, he said typical white women who has been taught things because of the way they was brought up. (To paraphrase)

Get the church and state out of the election and get the Obama not being a patriot or proud of his country out of the election. Obama is the epitome of American achievement and the American dream.

To most black people this lack of knowledge and understanding by some white people is typically accepted, but NOT THIS TIME.
