I understand Black America's love affair with Barack Obama.  I felt it with Sarah Palin because she was just like my people, ordinary common sense people with a sense of fairness and no room for the sleazy back room deals which go on in the higher echelons of government. She was destroyed because she threatened the status quo.  She wisely opted out and has continued her assault from the sidelines through endorsements and the bully pulpit she gained from her brilliant rise to popularity.  Placing strong candidates in the house, senate and in state houses all across the country will get America where she rightly belongs better than a President Palin who would have to contend with the corrupt old boys club in Washington DC. My grandmother was fond of pointing out:  "Rome wasn't built in a day!"  But even Caligula only ruled for four years. The first presidential debate had two important results.  First, Mitt Romney was given a chance to speak directly to...

Today venerable readers I will fill you in on Y President Barack Hussein Obama is not a good fit for America. Probably the most important point is Obama spent his Mickey Mouse years living in Indonesia attending a grade school in a strict muslim environment, instead of watching Big Bird, Elmo, and reciting the American pledge of allegiance.  He learned to think in Indonesian first.  English is his second language. Next, he comes to Hawaii and is mentored by F. Marshall Davis, communist sympathizer, during his preteens and teens.  Then off to Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard Law where he apparently had an undistinguished academic career or we would have been beaten to death with what fine scholarship our young Nubian Statesman exhibited in his Choom-Gang haze daze. After Harvard, Barack hooks up in Chicago with more subversives, Wright, Dorn, and Ayers, for his US connections, and Valarie Jarrett,  Iranian bred and backed, and a leading contender as the lead pu...

If anybody was off line, out of country or just not paying attention you may have wondered what that sharp crack heard around the world was that started at 7pm mountain stardard time which was traced to Denver University and its auditorium where the first of three presidential debates was held. That crack was the sound of the bull whip Mitt Romney employed fueled by his superior business knowlege, his conservative principles, and a wit that allowed Mr. Romney to debate rings around a seemingly sluggish and out of sorts President Obama. Al Gore, Jr, that world renown self-taut(sic) global warming expert, blamed President Obama's sluggish debate on the mile high elevation there in Denver, noting that Mitt Romney had come in a day earlier and therefore had  time for his physiology to adjust to the rarefied air there in Denver.  This and that Romney does not smoke, but President Obama does not smoke either, does he?  At least the press is still covering for his bad c...

To my highly intelligent readership:  Jim Lehrer as host of the first presidential election debate will be blamed by all his colleagues in the Obama Cheering Print and Televison media for not keeping a closer check on that "snap" on the right of President Obama, Willard Mitt Romney.  Even Big Bird was heard grumbling about Jim's weak performance over his morning bowl of birdseedies cereal. Jim, we barely even knew thee! Mitt, as it seems, I barely even knew thee!  I have been subjected to that same powerful media filter that kept W. Bush, the real W. out of the view of his adoring public.  The filter was lifted for 90 minutes in Denver, and there was Romney, looking and sounding like Ronald Reagan, and there was President Obama sounding and looking like the impish intellectual impostor that he has been his entire life. Obama was clearly flummoxed by President-Elect Romney.  I could tell when Romney landed a blow because President Obama's ears, overly gener...

Anybody who has been watching politics since the media was captured by the communist sympathizers just after the Tet Offensive in Viet Nam knows no Republican politician since Ike Eisenhower has gotten a fair shake in the print and TV media. Nixon, demonized, Ford labeled a stupid jock, Reagan, the actor with an empty head, Bush 41, an out of touch Martha Vineyard elitist, and Bush 43, a misunderestimated numbskull. If we ignore 50 years of history, perhaps Mitt Romney will be treated fairly by the repugnant petulant press during the up coming debates. Here is how I see the debates being framed. Jim Lehrer:  "We welcome our telivision audience to the first of three Presidential debates, as you know the debate format is slanted for and seeks to reinforce the strengths of President Barack Obama, (pause for a loud cheering auditorium packed with 1.37 million SEIU members holding Obama for President signs and texting on Obama phones) and will degrade his unworthy chal...
