The Bailout

So far I’m not pleased with the bailout. I’m talking about the $750,000,000,000 here’s why.

First I new something had to happen and happen fast. I was in favor of giving the people the money rather than the fat cats. $1,000,000 per person in America would settle everything within 24hours, but that would be too mush like right and cost less money, something like $307,000,000 vs. $750,000,000,000 with better results but that could not happen even though socialism is socialism no matter who gets it.

Next I said create community banks to dole out the money rather than give the money to the fat cats because community banks would work directly with the bailout program without golden parachutes and investors and you wouldn’t be rewarding the people whose greed put us in this fix in the first place.
Community banks would lone money for homes, cars, inventory, and cash flow for the movement of the infrastructure following the stimulus package coming from Obama that would put millions of people to work now.

Now these fat cats have horde the money, paid huge bonuses, and won’t lone anybody anything. Know one asked the party affiliation of the decision makers of the fat cat banks either did they, I’m sure they’re not democrats.

Giving more money to this same group would be foolish because they showed that they are not going to get up off on anything.

In order for Obama’s economic package to work he must start over with everything including the Banks. Oh, and by the way, for the auto industry, know one asked them what they are going to do about keeping jobs here in America instead of investing abroad. So what if you make a better car, who can buy it if the jobs are gone.

Hey Obama, go to a flat tax, lift the cap off of social security, raise the minimum wage to $14.00 per/hr. for industry employing over 25 people, extend unemployment benefits too 18 months, and put huge tariff on imports to level the playing field on our goods vs. foreign then sit back and watch the movement.

CONGRADULATIONS

Congratulations President-elect Barack Obama.

The primary and national campaign was long and successful and like I said, I had to exhale.
I’d never been evolved like I have for a presidential election. Now it’s time to get back to the business about business.

I’ll be talking about business, religion, relationships, and life in general and like always I’ll remind you to advertise, and when you do “Let Us Main Your Business”

America

I want to talk about America for a moment. I think this is going to be my last post until after this historic election. I think with four days to go, for me it’s time to be quiet, pause and think about America and what an American is.

Americans are unique because we’re the only Nation without a true ethnic group, no DNA to say you’re an American. You’ll find with other Nations that their nationality is defined. German DNA in Germany, Italian DNA in Italy, Asian DNA in the Far East but there is no such thing as a DNA for Americans. Why, because America came to being with an idea. Our Nation is an idea in the works and our Nation has changed her idea through the years and will continue to change herself for years to come.

For far too many of those years the idea of America was defined by old white men. These men looked out for their own interest as well this idea and made rules to protect themselves from each other so the idea had a good chance to work.
These rules had to be amended from time to time because these white men found loop holes in them. They found out who ever they elected to lead them had control of the idea so they made amendments that who ever they elected had control over the idea rather then control of the idea. This idea and the men who were entrusted to oversee the idea didn’t care whom or at who’s expense got in the way of the idea and made life unbearable for anyone who didn’t agree or got in the way of its progress. Consequently the Natives who were already here were slaughtered damn near too extinction.

Progress was escalating rapidly and labor was at a premium and under manned so the white men in charge of the idea decided to import labor. They decided to exploit a people they did not understand from a land far away declaring them sub-human. They sold them like cattle to each other and had the power of life and death over them. They humiliated and degraded them.
One of these white men said enough, not this time nor on my watch and went to war against other white men who were in love with the present idea. America was divided on ideas and many white men said they’d rather die then change, rules are rules but this one white man said no, we’re going to change and also change the rules because it will be better for the idea, or we’ll fight and die, so fight and die they did. Over time the white man for change won the war. Men and women affected by this change gathered at churches New Years Eve that year of 1862 because at midnight 1863 change from the war became law and a new idea for this Nation changed the course of her history.

For many years now Americans that still do not want the change made by that white man have been fighting a quiet war with rules they could make without the leader over of the idea in control. Loop holes in the law kept separation and continue dominance. This dominance was handed down through the years because of ignorance and fear but time and education has slowed this ideology down but one thing has not changed and that is who ever leads over the idea owns the idea and has power to change the direction of the idea.

If we are all Americans then the protection of her idea we all have at heart. (Freedom) This idea of the founding fathers have been tested through the years and the way America is growing for everyone, her idea can not just be protected and owned by old white men. This dwarfs the best to lead over the idea if the pool of leaders can only come from old white men. Like yesterday, enough, not this time. There is no DNA claiming you an American. Anyone here can join her club and if you were born here you can lead over her idea, the rules are in place and have been for over two hundred and thirty three years.

Where will you be at 11:00 pm. November 4, 2008? Will you be gathering the way it was back in 1863 at midnight. Will you be waiting to witness history in real time? Will you look back at history and remember? Will you cry or curse? For me, I’m going to thank God for letting me play a small part in this change of history and for being born at the time I was in order to feel the impact like only I and others of my time can only feel. I’m going to cherish everything I’ve ever done that got me to witness such an hour, then I’m going to exhale and get back to the business of business being part of the idea with larger inspired hope for America, if she’s changed.

Can’t vote for a black man?

Can you feel it in the air, is it on your mind within five minutes after waking up, are you wondering or battling, are you looking for someone or some group to identify with? Which of these are you? I’m talking about the 2008 Presidential election between a Black and White man.

In my opinion, this battle is a real concern for white’s, especially in the demographics of baby boomers and older. This demographic holds the history of this Nation’s race policies from it’s conception. This group is and are the direct descendents of legally owing another human being and being owned by another human being … Imagine this.

You’re at home, you’ve just had a productive day at work, the children are enjoying childhood and you wife is having a hard time removing the look of happiness from her face that was reviling her eagerness to have you back at home with her. You begin to settle in when you here an eruption from the calm in the neighborhood. Your neighbors are yelling at someone, children are crying and women are screaming; now you’ve got to investigate.
...You go outside and see men of another race storming the neighborhood door to door snatching families out of their homes tying them up and separating the men, women and children. The men that were fighting back against this unfriendly race were beaten mercilessly. They were being clubbed, stabbed, and shot with a weapon you’ve never seen. You being the head of state raced to these villains pleading for this violence to stop when you too were clubbed and in your semi-conscious saw your family being man handled, and your children mistreated. Co-operation was the only way to survive.
...You were marched miles away from home and your head stayed in perpetual motion searching for your wife and children. For days you marched with no food, only water and when you tried to speak to these Mirada’s you were beaten once again. Finally you arrive at the Ocean and saw these ships. You saw hundreds and hundreds of your people struggling to free themselves from these chains in order to avoid going too and upon these ships ripping hands, arms, and feet from their limbs too escape and get back were ever home was.
...On the ships you were packed like bags of grain on top of and next to each other in its bow. It was hot, no air circulation, no were to relieve yourself of bodily functions, so you did this act on each other. You constantly wondered about your wife and children. This pale race of men would force feed you if you tried to starve yourself to death rather then continue living like this. They’d put this mush of food on mechanical steel tongues then you were to open your mouth and they’d open the tongues so the food would slide in. If you didn’t open up they forced the tongues into your mouth by busting out your teeth sticking the tongues into your throat then opening them up so the food would slide directly into your belly.
...Many days later, too many to count, you arrive at a new land. Many of your people on the ship with you died chained to one another while on the long voyage.
Next you were put on display and prodded like cattle by this strange race. Your women were handled the same way as well, likewise the children. For some reason this race of people ruled over you, they stripped you of your name, beat you, tortured you, lynched you, and over the years you were forced upon your women to breed with them, no love and no knowledge of who they were or where they were from just breed no matter how young or old, or die.
You watched your women and daughters being used and raped daily. They were taken from your bed and their rooms, raped in front of you and given back sometimes days later just to humiliate you. This race use them this way to teach you just how powerful they are over your life and how they could kill you or her if so desired so you better co-operate and go along with the program. You and other men like you were beaten and lynched for fun and pleasure or just to pass the time. They had the power of life or death over you, then one day it stopped.
...Some law was passed so these rulers couldn’t rule you anymore. This race of men still broke the law with brutality and got away with it, but you fought on and through the years this brutality slowed down but equality and respect is not quite there yet which brings me to today.

You see, I know this pass and so do a lot of people like me because we lived it, I’m a Boomer, I remember segregation and institutional racism but my children and younger don’t know or lived this pass. I know white people my age and older and white’s from bigoted families that hand down that ugly pass will never get into their ignorant heads that people are people and want to peruse basic needs for their families with the freedom this nation says it’s based upon, and they don’t want to be beneath any other race or culture. These bigots are the problem from making this Nation greater than it can imagine but try telling them that. This ideology holds us back so we all loose. As Americans we all have a stake in this land, too her cause, in her strength, about her well being and for her prosperity. Not just white people.

Do you feel it in the air, is it on your mind within five minutes after waking up, keep wondering or battling, are you looking for someone or some group to identify with? Which of these are you, because you know Obama’s the right and only rational choice this time, don’t you, or is it, you can’t vote for a black man because?

The Bailout or Rescue

A short note on how to save our nation’s financial network and economy. Forget the seven hundred billion dollars ($700,000,000,000.00). The population of America is three hundred four million (304,000,000). I suggest everyone receive one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) this equals three hundred four million dollars ($304,000,000.00). Why not if we’re entertaining the thought of socialism for fat cats, why not us. I’ll guarantee you that the economy will sore and the financial network along with Wall Street will be fine. This would save the tax payers six hundred ninety nine billion six hundred ninety six million dollars
($699,696,000,000.00).

The banks are holding this nation hostage unless they get what they want. They want the Government to buy the worthless paper they hold or they’ll stop doing business. Has the government been in the urban area lately? If they let these houses sit without upkeep, tax payers will lose because these houses will have to be destroyed and many need to be already. Nobody is going to move in those areas again unless they’re leveled.

I’ve said before that something had to be done drastic and now, well see the above, it’s cost effective, drastic, can be done now and will be a guaranteed success without question. This sounds silly doesn’t it, and so does $700,000,000,000.00 with a less than 50/50 chance return on investment for me but a 100% return on investment for fat cats. It’s I don’t know when for me but now for the fat cats. It’s you can loose for me but win, win for fat cats. I might even be able to keep my retirement if they get the money, but they keep money, jobs, cars, boats, homes, and company perks.

Let the predators fail like any other business that ignores good business practices and watch new transparent but regulated finance / investment firms stem from those failures and flourish. Those investment firms are not monopolies. Set up a bureau to help transfer rather than bail out to firms willing to be transparent now until new laws are made. Keep the government roll in this to help the victims not the predators. Investigate firms who made bad loans for greed and exploited the poor and ignorant. We understand we’ve got to help the poor and underprivileged but not exploit them with certain failure; fat cats should be responsible for their practices and bad loans should be restructured so people can keep their homes.

McCain and Obama and Town Hall Meetings?

I’ve started giving some thought about the town hall meetings McCain kept shoving down Obama’s throat. I keep thinking how McCain was challenging Obama, damn near daring him. I keep seeing the smirk on McCain’s face as he sarcastically belittles Obama for refusing his invitation. Well McCain be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.

I watched the first of these two guy’s debate and saw something I didn’t think I’d see but it hit me in the face. McCain couldn’t look at Obama. I’m no way saying I’m the only one who saw this because others have talk about it, but since I blog I thought I’d give my slanted opinion about it.

First, McCain can’t look at Obama, what would he do at town halls? At the debate the lights were turned down so you couldn’t see the audience, you could only see the moderator and each other. The moderator would ask McCain a question that was directed to Obama and several times he, the moderator asked McCain to direct his answer to Obama and not him, but McCain didn’t or couldn’t. When Obama was asked to do the same, he did and continued to do it the rest of the night. YOUR PRESIDENT MUST LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE OR THEY’LL APPEAR WEAK AND INTEMADATED.

So this is what hit me in the face. Being a black man I’ve experience dabs of racism that’s so common that it’s not even worth thinking or talking about. One of the dabs is many white people ignore black people. We don’t exist. This kind of white person walks all over us. If I’m engaged in a conversation with a white person and this type of white person comes up, they talk to the person I’m talking too interrupting our conversation, not to ask a quick thought and go, or to add to the conversation, but to pull that person away from me and divert their attention toward them as if I wasn’t there.

I’ve been on elevators and watched white people share thought with other white people until they’ve reached their selected floors leaving me and another white person on the elevator. I’ve watch this kind of white person turn and stare strait into the wall until my or their floor comes up. Sometime I try to continue the conversation they were having with the others but I may as well have been talking to myself or the wall.

I’ve asked this type of white person questions about something or other and they’ll answer the white person that may be standing next to me, and that white person never said anything to them.

I’ve asked this type of white person questions and they’re so busy, I’ve got to chase them back and fourth for the answer plus if a white person asks them something while I’m chasing them trying to get my answer, they stop to answer the white person and again they’re off and running as I continue trying to get mine.

I’ve been first in line with no cashier when that type of white worker comes up and says to the white person behind me, may I help you, as if I wasn’t there.
In other words, what McCain was doing to Obama had an ugly undertone too it.

What was McCain thinking? Did he think Obama wasn’t there? Did he want to ignore him? Could he dare think that a black man had no business being on the same stage with him; not to say challenge him or call him out about his policies, issues and his poor judgment on so many things pertaining to the Presidency they both are campaigning for?
Was McCain showing his age and the era he’s from as far as black men are concern? Was he thinking this is a joke and why is he involved? Is McCain an elitist? No, I think McCain is surprised and stunned. I think McCain’s life was passing in front of his eyes. I think McCain feels what Hillary and Bill felt.

Twentieth century politics is long gone. America is a few weeks from becoming a great nation again. For the people by the people is the drum beat. Honesty and integrity is the order of business. America is about to be global for all and not exploited by a few. The world will be a smaller place with opportunities galore for a nation of proud but united people once more. American’s again will be welcomed all over the world with open arms because of the leadership of one man … Barack Obama.

Get out and vote this November. This is the most important election ever. Our nation’s future and sovereignty depends on it. Vote Democratic.

Why the AIG Bail Out

Get these Republicans out. Get them out of here, and as soon as posible.

When banks and securities got deregulated here’s what happened. Real short, they got crazy, but let me make some since of this if I can type fast enough to stay ahead of my anger.

Banks gave good and bad loans (mortgages), far too many loans were made to people who they new had no way in hell to pay for them and still survive. The banks didn’t care because they sold these loans. They only kept these loans long enough to get rid of them. They bundled these loans and sold them to the deregulated investment firms. The investment firms turned these bundled loans into securities and sold them as investments. Who bought these loans?
Mean while the jobs kept being shipped out.

It got so good that banks were penalized for not making loans even though they knew so, so, so many were bad. Tough, they made the loans, and the loans got bundled and sold on the open market anyway. Freddy and Fannie got on the band wagon too; folks were getting phat, no let me say it better, they got filthy and disgustingly rich.
Mean while the jobs kept being shipped out.

China bought billions and billions of dollars of these securities as collateral in order to loan America money, Japan also. These nations asked how do we know if these securities are any good. This is where AIG came in, AIG insured them. AIG SECURED A BUNCH OF BAD LOANS THINKING ONLY A FEW WILL GO BAD.
Mean while the jobs kept being shipped out.

People began to default on these loans because THEIR JOBS KEPT BEING SHIPPED OUT. Foreclosure became the word of the day. The investment firms and banks had no cash. With no cash we still needed to borrow. AIG cried we ain’t got no money to back these loans. China said what’s up with this and what’s wrong with this picture. We ain’t giving you no more money, ya’ll are messing up our economy.

If we didn’t bail out AIG who secured these loan/securities China was gone. Our financial system was gone. Savings were gone. Retirement was gone. The dollar bill was gone. No money could be lent. The US would be on a cash and carry system.
Mean while the jobs kept being shipped out.

The Republicans are scrambling for a quick fix. They have completely destroyed the American financial system. They have stuck the dagger into our hearts and have twisted it. America is on her knees bleeding profusely. Wall Street have made off with the National Treasury. The Republicans are inept and can’t be trusted at all. The dollar is falling. Inflation is going to sore. Start the money presses.
Who will buy the phony money? Gas, food, and utility prices are going to go through the roof. This is called inflation or private taxation. Who cares if my money goes to the government or private industry inflation is a tax to me.

People will make a run on the banks to get their money and rid themselves of the dollar bill. The government must print money or all government entitlements will be shut down. Look what would have happened to Social Security if the Republicans had their way and the program was privatized … gone.
All this chaos, do something fast, we’ve got to keep McCain from losing this election by quadruple points. We wanted to dump this mess on Obama but it came too soon. The foreign investors involved in our economy are getting together to discuss shifting to a different currency other than the dollar. The world market is at risk.
Mean while the jobs kept being shipped out.

What will we do?
#1…Elect Obama and give democrats 60% majority in the house and senate. (60% kills filibusters)

#2…If a government bureau is going to buy the toxic loans for $0.25 on the dollar, adjust the loan holders to $0.25 on the dollar also. It will be absurd for the government to buy these loans at a huge discount and not give some relief to the loan holder by holding them to the old contract. They could still lose their homes to the government instead of a bank. (People want to keep their homes)

#3...Raise minimum wage drastically based on the number of employees and industry. Not across the board. (Middle class will spend money)

#4…Extend unemployment benefits to 18 weeks, (Helping middle class afford gas for travel when searching for a job which today takes up to a year or more.)

#5…Go to a flat tax, no deductions. Rich, poor, and middle class all pay the same percent.

#6…Lift the cap off Social Security. (As long as you earn, pay into the fund.) Social Security will be protected forever.

#7…Re-regulate the financial industry

#8…End all trade agreements.

#9… Put a tariff on import to level the playing field from markets with sweat shops, (Including our own businesses that jobbed over seas.)

#10…Meet with global investors to ashore them that the dollar will be strong.

#11…Entice manufacturing companies to come back or stay.

We’ve got to do something drastic; I mean really drastic, and do it now. The middle class again holds the entire burden of this load on their shoulders, (Government is financed by the middle class because we are the only group out of the three who pay taxes. The poor and rich do not.).

Eventually the jobs will come back. The wealthy will remain wealthy. Middle class will come back and our money and investments will be safe and everyone will play a part in the growth if we elect Barack Obama as President of the United States.

You see, Obama already has the support of the world. The world is waiting for him. The world is ready to work with him. The world doesn’t want to lose America, but the world is waiting for us to do our part.

You may not like me talking about the World in our mix but I hate to tell you, if the World is not involved in this global correction, America will be a third world nation, a nation on the take, a nation’s who’s only might is war and the bomb.
I’ve mention before; Obama will go down in history as the greatest President of all times.

McCain Part #2

First, I’m tired of this election process. It’s been close too two years now. This is much too much. You can love a candidate, then hate them and then love them again. As the days and events go by, so too do the reflections and mind set of the voters. Candidates hands are tied on many daily issues because they’re not in power so they’re damn if they do or don’t. Candidates have been away from their jobs and family’s courting American’s day after day. Nothing should take this long to be settled but since it has here we go.

McCain picks a woman as a running mate, a good speaker but … let me get back to this later.

As I’ve said before McCain will say and do anything to be elected President. He picks a woman and it looks like he’s hiding behind her skirt.
This decision was made from the hip. It was only made to try and secure the woman’s vote.
It had nothing to do with picking the best posible person who could succeed him in case something was to happen and country would be in good hands.
This pick was to win at all cost and is an example of political and social science at its best.

McCain wants the disgruntled Hillary supporters. He believes you can just put people into groups and they follow suit. (Women vote for women) Wrong.

He understands women turn out to vote more then men, they say. (Appease them with a woman to vote for) McCain has done nothing for women rights in 26 years in the senate, nothing.

Many women feel they’ve been oppressed by men. They’ve worked for less pay in the job market while doing the same job as men in far too many cases. McCain has voted to continue this policy as many times as it’s come up.

Many women must clean the home after work, cook, take care of the children, make all of the house runs to the cleaners, store, doctor, do the laundry, clean the house, help with homework with the kids, keep in shape in order to look like that trophy wife, be a sexual athlete, cater to all the needs of her man’s demands, be put over to the side at gatherings except when men want them when they’re on the prowl, etc.

Now we have a woman one breath away from the top of basically the most powerful and respected job on planet earth, the Presidency of the United States of America.
All of the concerns of women wanting their just do are only a heartbeat away resting on the shoulders of Palin, and we want women who many feel oppressed by men to vote on issues; Great choice McCain but the wrong women.
We ask women voters to forsake gender for the good and better of the issues. We ask them to shelve the closest and maybe last grasp they have of a woman gaining full executive power in their lifetime in order to vote for a black man.

Many women can care less if this vice-presidential candidate could write a check. They only believe that McCain because of age and health issues may not go full term and wham, we got it.

Let me tell you something, women are much more militant and rowdier then men when given the chance to come out in force; check out the all male strip clubs that some women frequent. They can and do some of anything to those male dancers, if a man tried to do those things to women in a similar club for men, they’d shut the club down, that’s why men are not allowed inside a women’s male strip club. Women in force are tough and unified. What’s done inside a strip club stays inside the strip club.
McCain believes women will rally around Palin because of the reasons I’ve stated above about him. He thinks this could get him over the top. He’s desperate and pulling out all the stops to obtain power even if it’s for a minute.

Palin’s selection was brilliant for McCain at the cost of this nation’s future. He’s getting the crowds; his campaign is receiving money, enthusiasm is high because he was sinking fast before her arrival. In other words, he’d rather hide behind a women’s skirt then lose an election.

Palin has scandals and the republican base is trying to squash them until after the election. She lies too, and is great at not answering questions but dancing around them like she’s still in a beauty pageant. McCain is exploiting her well. Hey when it comes to keeping power, money and fame, people will sell their mama, sister, and daughter if it’ll keep in the loop. Good lookin out McCain

Palin knows that if she admits to her bridge to nowhere lie, trooper-gate, and baby-gate (http://www.vanityfair.com ) (see time line on Palin’s pregnancy); it will be political death for the republicans. They also know she can say anything and can’t be attacked because she a women and sexism will show up.

Palin’s being exploited by the republicans. She’s the suicide bomber for them. She’s to lie, lie and attack Obama with reckless abandon, then get out the way if McCain is elected. Keep hiding McCain

Everyone knows that McCain is two faced and all over the place on everything. He can’t recognize himself. But does everyone know that a vote for McCain is like playing Russian roulette with your future, your children’s future, your children children’s future, and your freedom as you once new it. This includes your job, money, (savings) retirement, home, wages, constitutional rights (with supreme court appointments), a the police state, wars, lies, cover-ups, disregard for your opinion, etc.

So, McCain picks a woman as a running mate, a good speaker but … the honeymoon will be over for Palin if McCain is elected; she’ll be treated like that long lost relative that popped up and wore out their welcome, and he’ll run another good dictatorship won’t he … or will she?

It’s Obama or Curtains

I can’t hold back any more, this might get lengthy? I keep hearing businesses talk about all the reasons they are going out of business or the lack of business. They cry, it’s because of government, it’s because of insurance, it’s because of inflation, it’s because of policies, and it’s because of taxes, along with this and that. Wrong! It’s because of Customers plain and simple, customers. Who and where are the customers? They are the Middle Class and they‘re becoming extinct, which brings me to my point.

Here in America we have a social policy we call capitalism, so they tell us. I’ve learned that capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights including property rights in which all property is privately owned, and I do mean full, pure, uncontrolled unregulated individual rights.

Capitalism demands the best of every man. It leaves every man free to chose the work he or she likes to pursue or specialize in. It enables him or she to trade their product for the products of others and go as far down the road of achievement as their ability and ambition will carry them. Their success depends on the value of their work and those who recognize that value. When men and women are free to trade it’s a win, win for every field of endeavor plus it raises the standard of living for everyone taking part in it.

All that said brings me to this.

Here in America, we are not a capitalist system and never were. We’re a Mixed Economy, a mixture of capitalism, because we have a system of some freedoms and some controls with no principles or rules to define either. In other words at who’s freedoms and who’s and whom to control.
Stay with me now.
Slavery, Native Americans on reservations, women not being able vote, Blacks not being able to own property or even was property, KKK, Roe vs. Wade, Japanese Americans being seized in WW2, Black Wall Street in Okalahoma. It seems to me we have a system of freedom for the few and privilege but the control over those who are not.

A mixed economy system is unstable and has to repeal its controls or collapse into dictatorship. A mixed economy has no principles to define its policies, or its goals, or its laws or its principles in order to limit the power of its government. (Can you see we’ve got that going on right now?) No ones interest is safe, everyone’s interest are on the public auction block and anything goes for anyone who can get away with it. Look back at these last seven years of republican rule and I do mean rule.

This kind of system breaks a country into groups fighting one another. This system give us the resemblance of law and order but it only gives us chaos. It’s fueled by pressure groups, special interest and lobbies all seizing to control legislative power by ripping off some privileged special interest at one another’s expanse by the act of the government.

The only way this can stop is by compromise. We’ve got to compromise on everything. We’ve got to compromise on everything, material and intellectual so that no group steps over the line by demanding too much and topple the whole damn system. The only threat to this is an uncompromising person, group, or movement. THIS COMPROMISE IS CALLED CHANGE TODAY and this is what I believe Obama is trying to get across.

Today you see the republican political manipulators setting new conflicts such as ethnic minorities against majority, the young against the old, the left or right against the middle, women against men, even welfare recipients against self supporters. OBABA WANTS TO BREAK THIS UP PEOPLE. If he’s not elected, forget the middle class as we know it, which brings me to my next point.

The Middle Class is a nation’s heartbeat and lifeblood, its members are independent and this class of people feeds the rest of everything, it’s the energy source of an industrial economy and capitalism can not exist under any other kind of system. In other words without middle class, there is no America.
A mixed economy is not the destroyer of the rich. The rich ARE the destroyers in this kind of system. This kind of system destroys YOU the middle class. This kind of system is the republican’s platform. We middle class people must take back our government or we won’t have a government of the people, by the people, or for the people. Some of you have been duped once or twice already in you life thinking you were republicans because things got good for you. Some of you have no concept or belief in what I’m saying either. How do I know this? Because some of you were too foolish to evacuate from the path of the hurricanes this past week so if you’re foolish you’re foolish. If you want to be uninformed then you’ll be uninformed.

Installing Republicans back into power means you’re saying republicans have totally destroyed this nation but I believe only republicans have the knowledge too, and will to fix it. Ha! Ha! Ha! If you think like that.
Listen there will continue to be NO customers for businesses. Giving breaks or money to the rich hoping it will trickle down did not work because of the mixed economy and will never work for the middle class because the rich don’t have the middle class values in mind if they are republicans. They don’t understand the concept, ideology, needs or importance of the middle class. There is a lot of money in this nation and they want it all, and they want laws to make sure that they keep it all and that’s all that matters to them, this is not a game.

Obama is and wants change to get America back into some type of order. He wants people to understand service, and that we are our brother’s keeper, and if the playing field is unequal for anyone then it’s unequal for everyone. He wants businesses to get back customers and that means rebuilding the middle class. He wants people to have hands on government again. Barack Obama is more like you and I then you can imagine, he has a middle class agenda for this country, he’s a democrat, plus he’s the democrat nominee for President of the United States, he just happens to be black, like that’s important and if it is, grow up.

The Sub Prime Fiasco

You want to know some more about the Republicans, then check this out.

When the money was not coming back to the government fast enough, Greenspand began to play with the Federal Reserve.
Money wasn’t coming back because we were losing jobs to outsourcing. So, when less people work, fewer taxes come back to the government.

The first move for Greenspand was to make credit easier to get, so credit cards flooded the market. They sent credit cards to my pet. This put a bubble in the economy for awhile but the continued lose of jobs made the credit cards harder to pay off because the people had maxed them out.

His next great idea was to find out how people can pay off these credit cards so he made it easier to refinance your house. People began to use their house as an ATM machine. They paid off credit cards and bought frivolous things and re-maxed their credit cards again. Jobs continued to leave and people began to foreclose banks began to fail and big business began to go belly up.
Enron was the same thing, and the saving and loans were the same too.

Fanny Mea and Freddy Mac owned over 75% of the sub-prime loans and the profit from those loans went to share holders and China. You see China bought the bonds from those loans for money they lend to the USA. This fiasco has put havoc on the world market too.

Now your great, great grandchildren are $130,000 in dept. Every time Republicans get in power the quality of life for common people go down. If you don’t learn from your history you repeat it. Thanks Republicans.

So what do we do? Vote the other way. Bring honesty and integrity back to America. Get rid of the people in power now and let’s start over. Let the people get involved with gaining their government back. Wake up people and learn from your pass or are we just that ignorant. Aristotle or Plato said that the masses are incurably ignorant. Well lest see.

Democrats

Democrats and Obama what the hell is wrong with you. How come you don’t throw any punches at the Republicans? Stop turning the other cheek and hit somebody in the face. The Republicans are lying through their teeth.

I didn’t get on this team to loose especially sitting down. Swing at these guys and I’m being nice.

Tell them that Fanny Mea and Freddy Mac should be nationalized. Make it a Government department run by bureaucrats making 80 grand, so that when the bail out comes and the profits from it come back, the money will go back to the tax payers who bailed it out rather than the fat cats that make Millions.

Tell them that the $300,000 outfits Cindy McCain wears are ridiculous, and they call Obama elite.

Tell them that the plane Palin sold was not sold on ebay. It was sold at a lost to a privet firm. The plane was to transport prisoners because Alaska doesn’t have enough jails so they transport prisoners, so now that the plane is gone they transport prisoners at a higher expense.

Tell them that the money from the bridge to nowhere was kept by Palin and the bridge was not built, $27,000,000

Tell them that the money Palin gave to the Alaskans was to perpetuate her political career.

Tell them About McCain not supporting the GI bill he’s taking claim for.

Tell them about McCain’s constant backing of Bush.

Tell them that the war has been over and they are just occupying the nation and that you can’t win an occupation. Did you see the banner at their convention?

Ask why did the media refuse to show the 800 people arrested outside of the convention and their civil rights violated? See http://www.democracynow.org.

Hey Dem’s you ain’t going to win the white house on issues. You didn’t last time or the time before or this time either.

The Republicans is a party of fat cats, racist, the ignorant and liars today. They only had 37 black people at their convention. Is this a party for the people? Hell no!
USA Today shows McCain with a 10 point lead. How’s that?

Get on the media for trying to except the Republicans response not to let them pull out all the mess on Palin (Remember the Rev.)
Don’t let her get a free ride. This girl is bringing back glasses.

Why did Palin while pregnant and her water broke give a speech, catch two planes for an eleven hour flight and have her husband drive 45minutes to the hospital to deliver the baby. This is very, very not normal.

Find out if Palin had an affair with her husband’s business partner that the National Enquire can document, did she try to have her brother-in law fired and that she took earmarks in the tune of $750,000,000 over two years. She is the Queen of earmarks. Hell she wanted to secede from the United States.

McCain’s last ads are nothing but lies. He’s stealing the change motto can’t you see this. Danm, run some ads, challenge them, make them look like the desperate liars that they are. Time is running out.

Come on Dem’s swing. Don’t go down and you got the gun. Anybody can beet the Republicans this time if they want it. Why do you think Hillary and Bill are so sick that they screwed up? Come on hit back, don’t punk out. I’ll give you until the debates before I call you Sissy’s every last one of you.

Presidential Conventions

Hi again, I’ve been gone awhile. There was so much going on that I was overwhelmed to write.

I got the chance to go to the National Democratic Convention in Denver. What an exciting event and Denver is a grand city. The city was a buzz with the ticket of Obama/Biden. Downtown was full of people from every ethnic group from sun up to sun down. I don’t understand how this race is considered close but they say it is. Oh, the 84,000 people inside Invesco (Mile High Stadium), they forgot to add the other 15,000+ outside the stadium lessoning to the speakers, music and cheers coming from inside the stadium because of the sound system. Togetherness was everywhere.

I watched the Republican’s Convention. It was not sold out, the hall was small and empty, 90% of the people were white, the men were all in suites (weird), very, very few young people, and the first big decision McCain was suppose to and was in trusted to make was for vice president, he didn’t, someone made it for him and that someone will run this Country if he is elected president plus their choice was a political tactic and not the best for this Nation if anything was to happen to him.

I’m not going to say too much because I don’t want to but if half of you and according to the polls it’s about half see McCain as the best choice for America and you’re not rich then I feel for you. I feel for you because you have some very deep and hidden issues. I feel this group is looking extremely hard to find some type of rationality to vote for McCain in order to hide a bigger problem if you’re not a true Republican. This group is Praying for some small opening to support his ticket. Look people this Country is in shambles, do you really want to keep this group in power? I truly believe you don’t, so don’t. Don’t fall for the lies. McCain will not be running this Nation, the people running it now will be.

If you are a woman and see McCain as an alternative because of your love or militancy for Hillary even though she lost by the laws of our system but you want those laws stretched or altered for you, then I feel for you too. You’re not a Democrat for one; Obama’s platform mirrors hers and McCain’s doesn’t come close, so shame on you for being a sore loser when the party is trying to come together or is it that you have some very deep and hidden issues also.

If you prescribe to the lies coming from the Republicans and you know we need a person in the White House that’s for the people and labor for a change and not big money or big business, then you better get ready to lose you house, business, investments, and family next, because if you lose those things I can bet money that your family will break up because money is the number one hardship on a relationship and if you don’t believe me try living without money, house, car, job, health care, lights, gas and change in diet and see how much love will be waiting for you from your family.

The Democrats need the White House and control of the Senate now. The Republican’s have had their time and blew it (Look at the United States today in its entirety). Let me gives some examples that most of you don’t know. I said I didn’t want to but here I go.

McCain on issue after issue from raising the minimum wage, to un-fair trade treaties, to banning pay discrimination based on sex, to leveling the playing field between workers and bosses in organizing and bargaining, McCain has voted wrong. 184 times out of 219 he was in disagreement with these issues and zero on workers rights. So if you work look out if you have concerns in the work place. There is no doubt he’ll continue the policies of anti-workers set by he and Bush.
With trade, your job will be gone. McCain’s campaign sent out a release supporting the U.S/ Colombia Free Trade Agreement despite Colombia’s murderous record against unionists and union leaders. More than 2,500 were assassinated over the last two decades. (His watch)
When McCain was in Colombia and Mexico don’t forget he reiterated his support for FTA, NAFTA and CAFTA
As for workers rights, the only time McCain hasn’t voted against workers rights is when he wasn’t there.

Health Care, listen to this. McCain would dump the present provisions which let businesses deduct the costs of paying health insurance premiums for their workers as a business expense, so if the company continues to pay the premiums the payment would be counted as income to each worker and taxed. I could go on but why.

McCain wants to privatize Social Security and give it to the stock market. Have you watched the stock market the last few years? If the Republicans hadn’t borrowed from it, it would be find.

I didn’t leave out Obama, but when dealing with workers rights the Republicans filibustered successfully 86 times against him. Some of these bills were to deal with the right for workers to sue for unfair labor practices, pay and sexual discrimination.

He’s walked picket lines with workers as a presidential candidate.

Another Obama bill curbed but not totally halted the influence of lobbyist, limiting their gifts to lawmakers and aides while forcing more specific disclosure of whom they saw, when, why, and how much they spent.

He led the fight for overtime in Illinois when Bush was trying to take it away from people with high school diplomas or military training.

He pushed and chaired legislation establishing a statewide healthcare commission that gathered data from everyone they could to draft a statewide comprehensive universal health care plan which is still being reviewed and most likely to pass.

He wants to take the cap off Social Security. Doing this would let the big money people pay the same percentages as lower income people and would stabilize the program.

Obama has you and me in mind but he needs 60% in the house and senate to crush filibusters. Don’t be fooled people. This time we need the Democrats. We need Obama/Biden, (the nominees). Give them the 60% along with the Presidency and Vice Presidency and let them work for us up, instead of them down.

McCain

Have you ever looked at McCain’s body language? Have you ever looked at him closely? Have you ever listen to him? If you have then you can’t vote him.

McCain is just too old, too forgetful, too flip floppy, too rude, too out of touch, too non-original, and too power hungry. Let me explain.

McCain is hinting that he’ll be a one term president. He’s said this more then once but he lies and says it’s not true. Look, even McCain knows he’s too old and lacks the energy and stamina it takes to hold the office of President of the United States at all let alone for eight (8) years.

McCain forgets and can’t get through his prepared statements. This is a sign of age. In the world of business what you say or don’t say counts, it’s not what you think or meant to say. If you say something and then write something else thinking you said what you wrote, it can cause problems and raise questions about your competency. McCain miss-speaks a lot. It’s a sign of not being prepared or is it that he’s just too old to deliver because his mind has slowed down.

McCain changes his position and policies with the wind. The media won’t bash him about it like they do Obama. Even if Obama refines a statement to make it clearer the media and McClain claims he flip flopped. Even the media and McCain’s backers say McCain wouldn’t recognize himself from his past, so what does McCain stand for? Oh I know, he stands for getting elected with lies, deceit, manipulation, confusion, and saying what he must to trick the American public. McCain, his people and the media said so and that kind of campaigning works. Forget the issues. If it does work, then it’s a sad statement about the intellect of the people of this country.

McCain never walks with anybody. He’s so rude. He’s always many paces ahead of who’s ever with him. Have you ever seen him hold his arm out for his wife to let her proceed before him like a gentleman? It was true with Romney too, he didn’t walk with him he walked in front of him three paces. He even was reading his prepared notes as he held the hand of that religious figure a few weeks back. He cuts people off when they speak. He comes just short of snapping his fingers when he wants your attention. He pretty much demands you recognize his power and if you don’t, look out.

McCain is so out of touch that he offered his wife to participate in a wet tee shirt, bare boobs, make love to a banana contest. He’s not computer literate and he can only relate to situations that most people don’t know about because they weren’t born.

McCain as President will only be the figure head. He’s not original. He’s going to re-delegate everything already in place from the administration that has damn near killed off America. All that will be needed is to put his name plate on the desk and he get out of the way of the existing administration.

McCain only wants this job because he wants to one up his Dad and some other relative that were Admirals in the Navy, because he was a prisoner of war and feels slighted. McCain also feels that he’s the anointed one. He’s craving absolute power over the world, so nations beware and our sons and daughters, good luck on your tour after tour after tour.
Forget about your home, job, health care, social security, bank account, education for your children, women rights and G.I’s, just to name a few, and prepare yourself for wars, run on banks, bankruptcies and selling off of major multi-national USA corporations, outsourced jobs, the end of the dollar bill, and the continued extinction of the middle class or, you can vote for Obama who’ll bust his ass trying to change this prophecy.

Believe Those Polls If You Want To, But

Look the polls are slanted. They’re slanted because they need to keep this presidential race for the white house interesting in order to sale advertisement and news papers. All national cable news and print media have gotten a pretty good spike in advertising sales because of the attraction and celebrity of Barack Obama. The World has attached itself to Obama and his popularity. The World has embraced him and his policies for World peace. Nations with very little media know about him and the history he’s about to make. Countries want and need the foreign politics of America to change in order for the Nations to co-exist. They listen and prey that Obama wins our election for president of the United States of America but our polls say what?
Do you really want me to believe that the majority of people at home don’t feel the same way as the majority of people and leaders all over the World believe about this incredible candidate? Do you really want me to believe that more then half the people who’ve lose their homes, jobs, cars, pets, dignity, savings, retirement, businesses, banks closing, icon businesses being sold to foreign interest, mounting national dept, the auto industry bankrupt, un-ending war, shrinking dollar, schools that don’t educate for the global market, hospitalization, crumbling infrastructure of roads and bridges, high energy cost at home and at the gas pump and unaffordable food don’t want this guy,(Obama) that they haven’t made up their minds. Get real.

How do these polls work? Do they poll the black or brown vote that has jumped 75% for Obama since the primary? Do they count the democratic vote that is twice that of the republican vote? Are there any Hillary votes in there? Are they polling the people whom I mention above? Are they polling newly registered voters, because if they are, then we’re sick as a Nation with numbers like that for Obama?

We know McCain can’t do a damn thing. His own campaign said that he doesn’t speak for his own campaign. Is this going to be his presidency? This Man is not original, hot headed, disrespectful, flip floppy, old with health issues, out of touch, and his time has gone by. What can he do or will do? He only wants his mark on history in order to one up his military father and family, it’s obvious and a mistake if America elects him.

The Democratic are suppose to be a shoe in this election but we have just one last hurdle to cross….. Race.

Barack Obama will be the greatest President of all times

That’s right; Barack Obama will be the greatest President of all times. In this Nation’s worst time in history since the depression Barack Obama will change and put this country back on track to prosperity in his first term. Why and How?

Let’s go through a little economics 101. In order to create wealth in a community the dollar has to pass hands many times before it gets back to the bank. The more times that dollar bill passes through the community, the better for the community. Keep that in mind.

Right now too many of our American dollars leave this country without passing through enough hands. China buys 26% of our debt, (Mainly the war) Japan buys 28% on other things, that’s 54% of our dollar gone. Oil gets another 15% plus. That’s 69% of our dollar gone. Outsourcing gets a percentage too, so you do the math. More then 75% of our dollar is gone and not passing through enough hands here. This is disaster. Our people are losing their homes, cars, pets, jobs, manufacturing is gone and the companies left are on the verge of bankruptcy, GM to name a big one. Banks are failing, and Icon companies are being sold to outsiders (Budweiser), Recession my a_s, (foot), it’s more like a Depression if you ask the middle class.

Now back to Obama.

Obama is going to end this war in Iraq. That will pull billions of dollars back home, about 10 billion a month. The dollar will be stronger and gas prices will come down. Obama will not reward businesses that outsource but give businesses incentive that keep jobs here. This will cause other business to come back bringing jobs. (I wish He’d declare companies that outsource foreign, and put a tariff on their goods and service making it more attractive to manufacture a home.) (Money changing hands here, middle class growing) China or Japan will not call in the debt because they need our middle class to buy all of their trinkets. Obama doesn’t want to use food for alternative fuel either, (ethanol) he wants to use other bio- degradable sources like weeds (cellulous). (Food prices will come down, that’s more money here.) Obama will create a new green industry identifying and inventing new jobs here for global climate control. (Money staying at home and passing hands). Get the picture. The more money staying home and not going out creates wealth.

The economy can turn around drastically for the better in his first term and turning around this economy from a depression quickly will qualify Barack Obama as the greatest President of all times before he fixes everything else here at home and changes our image around the world.

The Fade Away Jumper

I’d like to tell a story about a chapter in my childhood pertaining to my first experience in organized basketball.
I played a lot of playground basketball. My guys would go from playground to playground for a game, but this one time we tried playing organized basketball for the recreation teem league for the first time. We played well, in fact we played better then expected.

My team by far wasn’t great but we grew up together and new each other’s ways and game. There were the Clark boys, two great athletes Ron a Larry. We had our big man, let’s call him Bumps because he had acne very, very bad. There was me, Sleepy, I have bedroom eyes, and Bill, the Senator. We called him the Senator because he was an apple polisher if you ever saw one. He was an Eddie Haskell replica from “Leave It To Beaver.”

Larry was a power forward/center, Ron was a point and shooting guard, Bumps was a power forward/center and me, I was a shooting guard/center. I played center because even at 5’8” tall, I could grab the rim and dunk a tennis ball. It was weird but I could play the spot. I’d steal the ball if a big man put it on the floor, and I could block out well, get run over and fouled with big men going over the top of me. The Senator, well the Senator would shoot the ball. When he had the ball, no matter where he was on the floor he’d shot it, but he’d shoot a fade away jumper. A “Fade Away Jumper” is a shot when the shooter shoot’s the ball jumping up and backwards before letting the shot go. Bill always shot a “Fade Away Jumper”. We tried to tell him, “just go up with the shot you idiot, you don’t have to fade away all the time you shoot a jumper especially when no one is guarding you, Geeez.” Bill would try this at times but he said it was awkward so he’d just fade away. He’d look stupid fading away and no body guarding him.

Well, as I said, we did pretty good. We were tied for first place with a very good team that we hadn’t played with one game to go and it was against them. The winner went to the playoffs.

In this big game, it was tight. Skilled against unskilled but we played our hearts out. But now the rest of the story.

16 seconds remained in a tied game; we had time out and the ball. The play was to get as close too the basket as posible for the easiest shot posible before time ran out, but by all means, get a shot off. Not too bad for us you’d think. The worst case scenario was overtime with this great, great team, real simple right.

Well, we had the full court to go. I take the ball out and pass it to Ron. Their full court press was on and it was awesome. Ron was smothered immediately but got the ball back to me. I dribble three times and was smothered too but got the ball back to Ron. Ron got across half court and got the ball back to me with 5 seconds left on the clock. I look for Bumps but couldn’t see him. I looked for Larry but couldn’t see him. I looked for Ron and saw him racing toward the basket but I had no passing lane. I needed to shoot the ball and that’s when I saw Bill, he was open but further away from the basket then me but I had no shot and no choice. I bounced passed the ball across the court to Bill. Bill got it and went up with a defender in his face, this defender’s arms were stretched out and waving, but when Bill (the Senator) went up, and guess what, he was fading away. He was leaning back at about a 45 degree angle and his defender was leaning forward toward him desperately trying to block that shot at a 45 degree angle too but Bill got the shot off. I watched the ball rise and looked for the ref to see if there was a foul. The defenders guarding me turned and watched the ball’s flight with obvious looks of pain on their faces. Their coach must have told them, “No shot! No shot!” I looked at Bill as he landed on his feet stumbling from his jumper and stepping backwards in order not to fall and his defender was stumbling forward like wise. Bumps came into my view and was charging toward the basket as the ball crested at its arch and was on it’s descent down. The Clark’s were just standing with their eyes glued to the shot. Time was out and it also seemed as if it stood still until, ------- swish with a rip right though the net. Touché, game over, we win, We Win! Bill now was damn near moon walking with one fist up shaking it chanting “Chee, Wayloo Wayloo, Chee.”
The look of discuss on the faces of the super stars was priceless, The look of joy on the Senator’s face was also priceless. The look on the faces of the people in the gym looked as if they’d just witnessed the most fantastic “Fade Away Jumper” they’ve ever seen in their lives, and you know something, they did.

You Pundits Are Wrong

First, congratulations Barack Obama. I wish the Pundits would stop selling news papers. They’re now dissecting the map for electoral votes between the two Presidential candidates. Now, let me give you my two cents worth.

I’ve heard the media say between Hillary and Obama on issues they’re about the same, that it’s basically a popularity contest, you pick’em. I’ve heard this between the two candidates themselves. Well if Hillary’s 18 million votes were about issues and Obama’s issues were about the same as hers, what makes the Pundits think that Hillary’s voters will flee to McClain when his issues are out of touch with the main stream America and our Party’s? And who says McCain’s supporters are signed and sealed in blood? To me, if the issues are close between Hillary and Obama, dahh!

Is what I’m reading is that Hillary’s voters are so racist that they can’t vote for a black man to end the War? Is what I’m hearing is that Hillary’s voters are so distraught and militant that they will take this country down the tubes by voting for McCain or not voting at all and business as usual even though she lost fare and square so let’s just snuff out health care for all? Is what I’m saying is that Hillary’s voters really don’t have the same issues of the Obama’s campaign since she lost and too hell with the Economy, Judges, Middle Class, Better education for all, Ending rewards for the fat cats, National Image, New foreign policy, Outsourcing, Obama and his campaign? Well I don’t think so.

The Republicans have ruined this country. Obama’s campaign issues almost mirrors those of Hillary’s. Obama won fairly and the Democratic Party recognizes he has the answers and the direction for this country and the world, and so does millions of Americans on both sides of the isle. You Pundits are wrong.

Education

I want to talk about a school teacher named Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Thompson had told her children a lie. She didn’t believe she could lie to her children, but she did. So now let me explain the story.

Mrs. Thompson was an educator, a teacher and in her sixth grade class her students were pretty bright, she loved them all the same and she wanted all of them to succeed. She got good response from her students; all of them except one. For the sake of this story let’s call him Greg.

In her class Greg wasn’t clean. He came to school all ruffled, disturb the class a lot, he smelled and needed a bath, he wouldn’t have his assignments, he wouldn’t sit up strait in his seat, and he didn’t care too much about anything that was going on. So Mrs. Thompson decided to do some research and look into what other teachers said about Greg before she got him.

She looked at the first grade teacher’s analyses of Greg and saw she’d written that Greg was a nice guy, a very nice little guy, who got along with the other students, they enjoyed playing with him, it seemed he was bright, he was always neat and clean, and on time.
Then she looked at what the second grade teacher said about Greg and she said similar; that he was attentive, that he cared about other students, and it appeared he’d really try to understand what she was trying to teach and get across to her class.
Next she looked at the third grade teacher’s evaluation of Greg. She said he was slow, he didn’t pay to much attention in class, and that his mother had a terminal disease.
She continued to the fourth grade teacher for her comments, and she said Greg really didn’t care about school now that his mother has died, he didn’t care about his assignments, he was living with his dad, He didn’t care how he acted or what he said or if he said anything at all. She also suggested that if we didn’t find a way to reach him he was going to have some huge, huge issues later in life.
Finally she reviewed what the fifth grade teacher had to say. She said that Greg was a very troubled and problem child and was constantly undermining what she was trying to get across to the other students and that he was a very troubled young man.
So now Mrs. Thompson has him in the sixth grade.

Well, the holidays were near and it was the gift giving season so the students decided to give Mrs. Thompson a gift. The gifts were wrapped with beautiful paper and colorful ribbons but the one that Greg gave her was carelessly thrown in a brown paper bag. No attention was applied to wrap the gift at all. So when Mrs. Thompson began to open the gifts she opened Greg’s first. When she picked up the brown paper bag the children began to laugh, snicker and make remarks, but Mrs. Thompson opened it with kindness because she loved all of her children the same. She handled it just like she would have handled some of the more detailed wrappings. Inside the bag was an old rime stone bracelet with a number of rime stones missing and a half a bottle of perfume. So Mrs. Thompson put on that old rime stone bracelet and dabbed some of the perfume on each wrist and told Greg how wonderful and thoughtful a gift it was and he began to smile. She went through the other gifts. Soon she began to notice something. She noticed that Greg began to pay more attention in class. He began to do and return his homework. He was not so aloof in class and wasn’t disturbing the class as much and he began to be more attentive.
Greg passed to the next grade where he began to exile in his studies and soon graduated. In a few years Mrs. Thompson got a letter from Greg saying he was doing well in high school, and met a lot of teachers but she was by far the best teacher he ever had.
A few years latter she got another letter from Greg saying he’d graduated third in his class and even though he had graduated third in his class she was still by far the best teacher he ever had. A few years went by and Mrs. Thompson received another letter from Greg saying in collage he got his bachelors degree with honors being tops in his class and even though he’d gotten those honors and was tops in his class he reminded her that she was still the best teacher he ever had. A few years later she got another letter from Greg but this time the letter came with Greg’s first name, his last name and the title M.D. Greg had become a Medical Doctor and even in that letter he told Mrs. Thompson that she was the best teacher he ever had. Again Greg sent another letter to Mrs. Thompson saying he was going to be married and that his dad had died a few years back, and that he would love for her to come and sit where his dad would have sat for his wedding. She wrote him back and said she’d be honored.

When she went to the wedding to take that seat she put on that rime stone bracelet that had the missing rime stones, and she dabbed herself with that perfume that came with it. When she got there Greg saw and told her she smelled just like his mother before she passed away.
Mrs. Thompson sat proudly through the Marriage ceremonies when Greg came up to her and said, Thanks for coming and spending time with me, you know you were the best teacher I ever had making sure I learned and stuff. And Mrs. Thompson told Greg, No Greg, thank you for showing me to stop teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic and start teaching children. All those years I’d lied saying I loved all my children the same but by far you were my pet. Thank you Greg, thank you so much, I thank you for showing me how to teach.

Election 2008

Indiana and North Carolina probably bought this democratic campaign to an end in reality, but the Clintons have other ideas. So, let’s talk about this.

The only reason the Clintons will stay in this race is because they can’t believe they lose. As long as she stays in, she freezes Obama from campaigning against McCain. The Media keeps suggesting that Obama must come out more with concrete substance. He can’t, why? Why should Obama give or do more only to have the Clintons tear it down and not McCain. Why should he become more damaged then what he’s already experienced by her and she shouldn’t be in the race anymore. If what he says keeps him in the lead and she won’t get out, why change. Can’t the Democratic Party see this? Why are they afraid of the Clinton’s? If she’s gone then he can campaign. He doesn’t have to do too much in order to get the nomination because she’s too far behind. This is called strategy; if she’s gone then his strategy changes.
She really wants to keep Obama from winning so she can run in 2012 and her strategy is this. Stay in the race for as long as she can. If the race continues too the convention then there will only be two months for the party to heel. When McCain brings up the bulls--t again about Obama he won’t have enough time to recover making it harder to be elected. His lose opens the doors for the Clinton’s in 2012.
The party needs at lease three weeks to heel. Obama needs a week to rest. The party needs to go into the convention way ahead in the polls over McCain so all of the old mess about Obama has a chance to come and go by the election. The super delegates not coming out now are doing a huge disservice to the party. I didn’t know the super delegates and the heads of the party were so ignorant and arrogant.

Let’s look at the senior vote for the Clinton’s. Voters over 65 voted for the Clinton’s 70%. Here’s why? This is the group that was forced to move over for the blacks, plus they were heavily evolved in the results or lack of results in civil rights (Rev. Wright). This group was 49 when the Clinton’s were in power. Life was good for that group if you were not affected by black people. For black people, there was no war. Money and jobs were everywhere.

Media felt so surprised that Obama got more voters then usual that made less
then 50k. Why? Because most people in this last campaign make less then that amount and it was more of them.

On gas relief; Most people fill their gas tanks once a week, this is average. The average tank is 20gal. $0.18 x 20 gallons = $3.60 savings per/tank, or 0ne gallon saved. Over 12wks. It = ½ tank of gas, but the lose of jobs and price gouging doesn’t out weigh the savings over 12wks.
Mr. Harold Ford, I disagree with you on this one. Your scenario say’s people fill up twice a week and have a 30gal. tanks. This means at 15 miles per/gal. the range is 450 miles per/tank x 2 =900 miles per/wk. or 180 miles per/day. This ain’t average this is more than average.
If you want to slow down our dependency on foreign oil and watch the prices fall like a rock in water right now, make the speed limit 55mph. again. Don’t give a speeding ticket for overages that will cause high prices in insurances until the speeding exceeds the state laws, but give a ticket for excessive energy use and make it expensive. This slows the demand nationally because high speeds use more gas. (We’ve done this before.)

Rev. Wright; The only reason this stopped getting reported was because the ratings dropped off. Media made this bigger than life and wore it out and had to be told buy letters and phone calls to cut it out already.
Stay quiet Obama until she gone, don’t give them nothing. We need to come together and go after McCain with issues not the Clinton’s.

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.

Infidelity, So What

You may get me on this one but so what, that’s what blogs are for, right? Infidelity, I like talking about sex because I like sex.

Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Kilpatrick and Mr. Clinton and 99/44/100% of all men, in other words, the whole male species, must cum, if they like it or not, this is going to happen. God made us this way. We must cum just like we must go to the bathroom. Now, here’s the $64,000 question. When we cum, how, what, who, where, and when will it happen. With each and every one of us it’s different. That difference is called a fetish.

The fetish is in our imagination. Men will forever chase their fetish. It’s that simple. This has nothing against the mate. In fact if the mate can satisfy the fetish then all is well. Can the mate accomplish this task? Let’s see. Our good book tells us, No sex before marriage. Our good book understands that submitting your self as you would unto God would cover fetishes. But, we don’t submit ourselves, we have issues. You see, If God asked us to do anything, because of faith we’d jump right to it or let’s say we should jump right to it. Now, if your mate asked you to do anything, in many cases, they’ll be issues. And because of issues, for us men, we won’t buy shoes without trying them on, but we also know you don’t get everything in one package. Man how good life could be if you had everything in one package. Women, this goes for you too. You could if you submit you self as you do unto God.

In our world of the microwave generation, (immediate gratification) we want what we want now, and we want it to come easy with no fanfare or questions. These kinds of thoughts along with the need to satisfy your fetish breed the trade of prostitution. Prostitutes give what you don’t have at home without any fanfare or questions with a smile. I’m in favor of legalized prostitution along with drugs even though I don’t use drugs or prostitutes. (I’ll explain later)

Women know what they give or don’t give at home but for men, its goes a little further then that. Remember you don’t get everything in one package so along with the fetish, imagination, shape, color, size, and sex of the one who performs that fetish comes into play. Women, Men, you can’t cover all the above. No one is Superman or should they be and neither are prostitutes, but you can get different prostitutes to satisfy as many of those categories as you wish.

I don’t agree that the Government should be in the business of managing my life about where I want to put my picker as long as it is between two consenting adults, nor should they have concern about the amount of the gift I give in order to close the deal, or how far away they travel to consummate the business transaction. That’s between me, my mate and my Creator. Prostitution is a business. If it were legal the crimes involved in the trade would go way down. Anything illegal creates crime and an underground economy.
If milk were illegal then milk would go underground and crime would occur.
We’d be better served by regulating then by eliminating. Yes they’ll be healthcare concerns, but we have dependencies now from drugs we do that’s legal. Plus, the people with healthcare concerns now because of drugs are in the system now even though drugs are illegal, so nothing changes, only the crime and money. Oh yes, money. Our underground economy creates jobs for the elimination. Without those jobs that industry would dissolve and so would a large portion of the economy. So, with that knowledge, what is the rest of the story?
