President Obama, Negro Versus African American Versus Black



President Obama, Negro Versus African American Versus Black

A Book written by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin
Called Game Change from the 2008 election cycle. Have caused a firestorm in the media.

Michael Eric Dyson and Jonathan Capehart was on Morning Joe, now the networks get to trot out all of our So Called Black Leaders that want a dialog on race relations in this country.
They feel that now is the time for that conversation. We have been trying to have this conversation since President Lincoln. And it always turn out badly.

Dyson on Tamarin Halls show also said President Obama runs from the word race like a black man running from the cops. His exact words. Which I think is derogatory itself. Speaking about the President.
Maybe he do shy away from the race card. And he should in my opinion. Dyson is a pain in the ass. I've followed him for years, and now I am starting to lose any respect I've had for him. Our President have mega problems on his plate. He do not have time to jump into a dialog about race that will never be solved anyway. And waste time that is needed for jobs, healthcare and education. Please......

Dyson and others with the same agenda need to give it a rest. It don't help the black agenda, it only hurt it at this moment in time, when there are wars, job loses, lack of education among other things the President have to deal with.
If Dyson and others want to do something, get out there and rally the Blacks, poor Whites and Hispanics together to march for healthcare, and jobs that are so needed.

It will be the start for the news cycle for a few days. Then the networks will say that's ok and pull any reference to race off the boob tube. Or if it looks like it's to many black opinions coming forth, then they will say that's enough, and pull it.

Professor Dyson said President Obama stated " He is President Of All The People" true, but he incorrectly stated that President Obama has not addressed the black population as of yet pertaining to jobs.

I've been writing about this. African Americans, are low in rankings within the job market. They have always been low. With all the advantages that are out there for blacks, in education and job training. They need to get up off their ass and take advantage of it.
All the Senators and Congress have been putting pork laden projects targeted at Blacks,Poor Whites and Hispanics. In every bill that have passed the Congress and Senate. Since President Obama have been in office. If a person read the bills as I do they will see it.

It is against the law and the Constitution for any President to dictate funds to a certain group of people.
In which President Obama have not done, and continue to stand by being President of all the people.


It's said in the book Game Change about the 2008 campaign quotes Mr. Reid as predicting that Mr. Obama could become the country’s first black president because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Here are some sites with articles.

Morning Joe on MSNBC devoted a whole show to this book and Harry Reid's quote. Wanting a major backlash. That did not happen. Only by media people.
And will not happen, so they can put this to bed, if President Obama don't care, why should anyone else. It was said about him.

Sure for years, within the White and Black communities the unsaid info is that a light skinned black can get ahead in business and politics, before a dark skinned black will. It's true, have been true. And because someone voiced that info publicly. Some people want to have something negative to say.

Us blacks have been Negro's, African Americans, now Blacks. White Folks, have always been White Folks. Blacks have different shades of skin color. Which in my opinion make us a pretty good looking bunch of people.

Is that why the tanning booth business is booming with white people trying to get tan's so they won't look so pale or white? So what is wrong with Senator Reid speaking the truth about President Obama being light skinned, more well spoken and educated and more accepted as such to the American public. In which what he said proved to be true.

Senator Reid could of phrased it a bit better, but what he said was true, and ment to be a compliment.

Now would anyone, and I mean anyone, would of backed Michael Steele as President? Hell NO. Not because of the color of his skin. But because of his stupidity and lack of a decent english dialect. Black, White, Light Skinned etc no way. And everyone know that he is the Republican token black for their party. They thought they had a Barack Obama in Steele to counter Obama. But within a few days they knew their plan had went to hell, backfired when that nut and clown Steele opened his mouth. Embarrassing not only the Republicans but the Blacks as well. I cringe when ever he is on TV.

Race will continue to be a problem in America. With or without President Obama. Because blacks and whites will have a problem with color, religion, social status, and many other social agenda's in this country. This is what democracy is all about.
Everyone is different, that is what make America great. But just because we have the first Black President does not mean he have to spearhead a whole new black revolution. Such as what people like Dyson want. America have to many other huge problems to fix right now.
If Dyson and his counterparts want a dialog on Black America then they should take the reigns and start it. What is their excuse? Don't expect the President to do it, because he should not have to.

There are 1000's of wonderful educated black professional men and women. More than ever before. Dyson should gather 100's of them together and go into the black communities, to help inspire our youth. Educate them, and help to give them the same hope to succeed that was given to him. Then I will take him more seriously.

President Obama's Jobs Front For 2010



From Whitehouse.gov

Today the President is awarding $2.3 billion in Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credits – another key component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that included historic investments designed to foster job creation and growth in the clean energy sector.

The investment tax credits, worth up to thirty percent of each planned project, will leverage private capital for a total investment of nearly $7.7 billion in high-tech manufacturing in the United States.

One hundred eighty three projects in 43 states will create tens of thousands of high quality clean energy jobs and the domestic manufacturing of advanced clean energy technologies including solar, wind and efficiency and energy management technologies.


I am so glad that the Obama Administration is
concentrating on creating more green jobs.


The old manufacturing jobs are not coming back to America. They are gone forever. We as Americans have to create a new manufacturing base here. Green jobs in manufacturing are the fastest growing industry out there.

Also Education, Healthcare, Electronics and Technology all are new job fields of the future. Which just about everyone who have lost their job and want to work is going to have to go back to school or training classes, in order to be qualified to work in these fields. That's if you don't already have experience in these fields.

Now is the time to start with the retraining. Don't wait until job owners put an ad in the paper. The owners will need you to be trained and job ready.
And if you are not, you lose. So the phrase, "What do you want to do the rest of your life?" is total reality right now. President Obama's Administration is laying the ground work for the next generation of jobs in America for the long term. It's now up to Americans to get up and get involved. Either in training, being trained or educating others.

The government have placed money for training classes and degrees in many schools, colleges and community colleges throughout the United States. The money is there for people to go back to school, so they can be job ready. It's up to everyone to take advantage of it.

Get ready and get excited America. Better days are ahead. It's a new day with a new way of doing things.

Are Obama's Security Problems Happening On Purpose?





Are Obama's Security Problems
Happening On Purpose?


Something is not passing the smell test in the Obama security part of the administration. From secure leaks of information, to people getting into the Whitehouse uninvited, to not sharing information between intelligence agencies that is supposed to keep America safe.

I am starting to believe that there are people behind the scenes that are doing this on purpose, to try to make the Obama Administration and President Obama look bad.
A person can maybe over look one or maybe two. But taking under consideration all the missteps and leaks in the past year. This is not a mistake. Think about this.

1, The big leak of the Eikenberry, McChrystal report. 2, 3 gatecrasher people getting into the state dinner, and 2 for breakfast. 3, Different leaks of information on security matters from the SS, State Department, CIA and FBI. 4, Intelligence not reporting on the info to each other on the Fort Hood, Texas shooter. 5, Intelligence not sharing and reporting info to each other on the Underwear bomber. 6, Putting classified information on the internet. 7, Doing stupid things such as a fly over NY in Air force One for a photograph. 8, And other leaks that was not authorized by the Administration to the media.
9, And yesterday 3 men supposedly escape from a prison in IL, just when President Obama want to close Gitmo and send Gitmo prisoners to a prison there. Now that have not happened before, all of a sudden this escape happen and make national news. Yeah right!!!

I am starting to think all of this is on purpose. Someone is either accepting money to give out information or to do things to make the administration look bad. Or some people have a vendetta against the Obama Administration or President Obama to make them look bad. Someone that is employed within the administration. Some plants left over from the Bush administration. Or a disgruntled employee that don't agree with the Presidents agenda.

The reason I think this is because. Some people such as Dick Chaney, his daughter and various news outlets, Rush, Hannedy and the house fool Beck. Along with this seasons clown Steele. And some Republicans. All crawl out from under their rocks, the second something is written or reported from a leak. Within minutes almost. Not only that I would not put it pass some of the Senate and House members who disagree with President Obama on certain matters are doing it. All in all this is done on purpose. This is happening to many times and to often not to be on purpose.

If this happened in other Administrations, in which it has happened on occasion. But not so soon or public in the Administration or as bad as this. Someone or some people on the inside is doing this on purpose. They must be stopped and punished. They are endangering American lives. I am reading that some of the leaks have caused lost of important information from various sources. Not sharing important information is allowing people who want to do Americans harm to be a step ahead of SS, FBI, CIA and Intelligence Agencies.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29451.html

People are starting to talk about these acts happening on purpose. And I want the Obama Administration to find the culprits that is doing the leaking and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Also people in the various Intelligent Agencies that are not doing their jobs, collecting and putting together information, either replace them or put them in another position better suited to their skills. Because from what Americans are seeing is total incompetence. Most of these people are the same people left over from the Bush Administration. So it's a wonder we have not been hit again before now. Just like they ignored the note and information that said we was to be attacked before 911. We have been lucky. Things could have been worst.

Maybe President Obama need to clean house, and start from scratch. It could not be worst than how we are seeing these agencies perform now.

Some Thoughts On The Obama Constant News Cycle





President Obama's Vacation


Let me start with the Obama's holiday vacation. Something they have done for the last 15-16 years. Spend their vacation in Hawaii. President Obama's home state. Where he have lived most of his life (Childhood) the flack from people saying, he should not take a vacation when other people are having a hard time. How crazy is that? How stupid are the words. Everyone need a vacation or a staycation, either way people need time off from the norm to recharge.
The President is never off. Day or night. Being President is a full time, all the time job. So I want jealous or stupid people to stop claiming that the President don't need a vacation. They sound crazy. And I did not hear the same complaints about Bush and his over 400 vacation days he took.
Then the complaint from some people that the tax payers are paying for his stay. NOT. The President only get so much money for a vacation, the rest of the money he have to spend out of his own pocket. And I am sure that his friends that was on vacation with him, foot their own bill. They probably split the bill. I have never heard this much scrutiny about any President in office before President Obama. I'm starting to think it's a black thing.

Then there is the complaint by the news media and Republicans that he did not come out and address the public right away after the attempt of the underwear bomber.
First, he had to find out what happened so he could come out and speak intelligently to the American people. And have the correct facts. Not like past Presidents that took 6 days to come out like the shoe bomber case in point. The President was not going to give the enemy the satisfaction of thinking they had America on the run. It was the right thing to do, hold back a few days. I think the news media over reported on the situation. They are the one's scaring the American public, along with the Republicans.

Also, I wish the news media would stop putting the underwear bomber's picture all over the TV. That is what he want, and the enemy want. And frankly the American people are tied to seeing it and hearing about the same thing over and over. There is other news that need to be brought to the forefront.
So even though, the President was on vacation at the time, he had to put all his plans on hold and deal with the underwear bomber and the CIA mishap. The idiots who said he should of come back to Washington are nuts. For what? He had all his people and equipment with him. He always have a traveling Whitehouse where ever he go anyway. So why come back just to sit there and wait, and wait. Everyone else was out of town, the Senate and Congress and most all of his Cabinet heads. So what would be the rational reason for him to come back? None. The American people was fine with his vacation, because they went about their business attending to their own business. It was the news media acting a fool again. Slow news time again. So yes I would never complain about our President having a vacation. Unless there was a flood and he just flew over it looking out of a window, doing nothing.

About Our First Lady Mrs Obama


Now in reading some of the Blogs, some nasty people are complaining about our First Lady Mrs Obama, her clothes, and how much they cost. Number 1, this woman have worked for years. She have her own money. She can buy whatever she want. She buys some low priced clothes and some high end clothes. I have never heard of anyone talking or complaining about other First Ladies clothes as much as they have Mrs Obama. Stop the madness.
Mrs Obama is more than a wardrobe. She is an accomplished woman in her own right. And will continue to be so once she is no longer First Lady. I love that she dress for herself and not what everyone else want her to do. Go Girl continue to be yourself. You make us proud.



President Obama Bypassing Usual Negotiations On Healthcare Bill

Good, I was hoping that they would. That way the Republicans can not have another floor show, of lies, as they have done for the last year.
Rather than setting up a formal conference committee to resolve differences between the Bills passed already, the House would mostly agree to what is in the Senate bill, amend it and send it back to the Senate for passage.

The Republicans pushed C-Span to ask the Whitehouse to put the negotiations on C-Span. NOT. I am about as Liberal as a person can be. I don't care what the Republicans or C-Span want broadcast. I am sure President Obama did not think when he was running for President, that the Republicans or the Teaparty crowd would tell as many lies or try to sabotage his whole agenda when he was running for office. In the case of ping-ponging the bill. I say go for it. Anything not in the bill right now, the Democrats can come back to it after the 2010 elections, and fix the problems. President Obama have to adapt to whatever situation to get his agenda passed. I want him to go for it so he can sign the bill.

As for the complaint of no transparency. Both bills are on the web to be downloaded and read by anyone who want to. I did. All the healthcare debates for the last year have been on C-Span. Anymore transparency will just be more for the Republicans to tear apart and criticize. They refuse to help with this bill, they want no part of it. Everyone is tired of the floor show. Just get on with passing and signing the bill.


2010 Political Stats For President Obama

It's 2010, and I see us Democrats have a few people retiring and some people may have a hard time in Republican states or districts. The political pundants are out in full force already.
Today all I am hearing is that the Democrats are in trouble. Well I don't think so. Not yet. November is a long time off and a lot of things can happen between now and then. The Democratic Party need a good ground game such as we had in 2008, for everyone running. If we can come together with a good game, we will be just fine. But until then it will be the guessing game so the political commentators can keep a job. So Democrats it's up to us to come out in full force. And for the Democratic Party to select some good candidates to represent their districts well. To give the public a reason to come out to vote. I think we will be just fine.
