Calling The President A D**k? New Low!!

Have we reached a new low in this nation? Have we lost all sense of high morals and respect for position? Case in point. On the recent "Morning (Joke) Joe" show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and that ditzy blonde sidekick of his, Mika Brzezinski, one of the regular guests to the show, one Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama “a dick”. (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/58098.html#ixzz1Qll7bYDA)

Indeed, the President's policies are not working, because of which he has lost many of the independent "White" voters of 2008––and I doubt he can get them back.

And while it's true that the President has angered many in the African American community because the conditions in our Black neighborhoods, and among our people are markedly worse since he took office.

And yes, the Islams, led by Dr. Louis Farrakhan are furious with Obama because of his attacks and intent to kill, or oust from power, their fellow brother Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY-_JsNrxiM).

And, of course many... many, of the Jews who supported him in his first bid for the White House have packed up and abandoned him because of his 1967 borders position.

And... and... and... the list goes on: unemployment numbers staggeringly high, gas prices off-the-chain-and no "drill baby drill" in the near future, home foreclosures are through the roof, selling U.S. assault weapons/guns to drug cartel boys in Mexico––under the radar. So, it's okay and fair game to criticize the President's policies––even if he is half-Black... Heck, when he signed on for the job as President, he gave permission for his actions, his family, his record, his mamma-- whatever-- to be open for criticism.

Criticism is one thing... but, to call the President of the United States a "d**k" on live television... for the whole world to see and our enemies to agree... now that's a new low! Halperin needs to go.

OMG! Obama Spits In Netanyahu's Face--AGAIN

I am sitting here, stunned and in disbelief. Did––for the first time in the history of this country––the sitting President of the United States of America actually, and purposefully say what I just heard him say? Talk about spitting in the face of Israel's Bibi Netanyahu one day before he was slated to visit this country and address both Houses of Congress.

It is totally unbelievable, but true. President Barack Obama delivered his long-awaited "Arab Spring" speech today and the most significant take-away from his 45-minute delivery was the following:

"So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state".

Go back to the 1967 BORDERS??? For real??? What was our president thinking when he uttered those fighting words? Does he not know that American Christians, and Jews across the globe will never stand for this to happen? Is he trying to usher in WW3? Is Netanyahu going to allow himself, and Israel, to be "one-upped", "neutered", and smacked-down by Obama AGAIN (remember, he was dissed by the president before during a different visit to the White House).

Well... the eyes of the world now hone in on Netanyahu. If he lets this statement reverberate another day in the news and throughout the global blogsville... he may as well go back to Israel and begin packing his political moving boxes, baby!

This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

I'm Back in the Saddle

My how the world has changed since my last blog post in October 2009. Having spent the past eighteen months dealing with some health challenges, it is so good to be well and back in the saddle again.

Until I get my strength back full force... I will only post new editorials twice per week. But as I get better, I will increase my postings accordingly.

So, let's recap the top issues and where we stand in this nation and world.

First and foremost... this economy is a mess. Unemployment numbers are high, gas prices are high, foreclosures and people who are just walking off leaving their homes--high, U.S. debt is unsustainably high, and taxes, taxes and more taxes on average Americans are ridiculously high! We need help.

The Tea Party movement has highjacked the Republican Party and holding its leadership hostage. The Democratic Party continues to lose credibility by the day. At this juncture, the American people are by and large distrusting of both parties, and most of its elected officials in Congress.

President Obama is on the verge of making history as the only Black man who (in two years time) has successfully neutered, removed, marginalized and/or murdered every male leader-of-color in the world. Both of the Jesse Jacksons--neutered, Mubarak of Egypt--gone, Saleh of Yemen--marginalized, Bin Laden--dead, al-Assad of Syria--well?, Chavez--marginalized, Jeremiah Wright--under the bus, and the list is increasing daily. Talk about "Change"... Obama is on a roll!

And, speaking of Osama Bin Laden... I wonder since he has been officially declared dead now, does that mean the troops will no longer be needed to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq? Enquiring minds really want to know.

Well enough of the bad news. The good news of the day is: We have had no terror attacks on our soil since 9/11, no major tsunamis, earthquakes or other catastrophic disasters in America... such as other countries have had. So as we lay our heads on our pillows tonight, be glad things are as well as they can be. And be thankful that we can all live another day.

I'm BAAAAACK!

President Obama, Please Pick Winnable Fights

Without a doubt, the recent war, declared by Barack Obama against the Fox News Channel, has lessened not only the office of the President... but has reduced Obama's stature to that of a local mayor or alderman. That's what local politicians do... whine and complain about who-said-what-about-them.

How could the leader of the free world allow himself to get into a shouting match with a news network? He should have stayed above that! Heck, if you combine the clout of O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Cavuto, Wallace, et. al, it should never equal or match the bully pulpit of the president. So, for Obama to cede the power he possesed via the largest megaphone in the world to some quasi journalists/television news personalities, has marginalized him and the prestige of presidency.

Quite frankly, it is an embarrassment to see Fox newsman, Brit Hume, chastise and ridicule President Obama, and his White House, for picking this petty fight with their network because of how Fox chooses to report stories on the president and his policies. But Obama elevated Hume and company to his level... so they can ridicule him now, and for the duration of his presidency, as if they are his equal.

Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics, has adequately put this contentious battle in terms that continues to resonate in coffee houses across the nation:

"It's actually quite brazen when you think about it. The two most senior members of the Obama White House - men who control all the information and access to the Executive Branch, the lifeblood of most news organizations - went on national television and suggested that ABC, CNN and other networks follow the White House's lead and join in its war to marginalize a competitor because it takes a "perspective" that displeases the President.

Such tactics may not be frowned upon by brass-knuckle operatives working for the political machine in a one party town. But it's different when you're the President of the United States. Most Americans of all political stripes don't want to see the President using the majesty and power of his office for heavy handed attacks on any organization simply because it has been critical of the President".

C'mon Obama... call off your attack dogs and put an end to this unwinnable fight. Look like the president that you are!

You can start by having your office call that red phone that Mr. Glenn Beck has visibly displayed on his television program––which is allegedly linked directly to the White House. Assign someone from your staff to call Beck's phone and refute those scurrilous charges and accusations being leveled at your administration and your policies. Everyday that phone doesn't ring, increases viewers to that network, as folks are beginning to believe what is being said and passing the information along to their friends and neighbors.

Mr. President, this is a battle you cannot win! So, instead of attacking Fox News, and those on that network with the cheap shots from Dunn, Axelrod and Emmanuel... schedule an interview with one of their journalists––sooner rather than later. This will demonstrate you are the man, and not afraid of their news or their views!

Obama Wise To Take His Time On Afghanistan

According to a recent report on the Fox News' website:

"President Obama is inclined to send only as many more U.S. troops to Afghanistan as are needed to keep Al Qaeda at bay, a senior administration official said".

If this proves to be true... good for President Obama! The decision to send someone's son, daughter, husband, wife off to war is a very serious one. And it should not be made quickly or without much prayer and thought. With that said, I applaud President Obama for taking his time to carefully think through how he will proceed in the war in Afghanistan.

A war-weary nation wants this eight year war to come to an end––sooner rather than later. People who were all gung-ho immediately following the attacks of 9/11 are now asking these questions in coffee shops and workout places: What is the purpose of this war? What is the 'win' for us... or our troops?

Even the soldiers are losing morale according to a noted European online news service:

“The many soldiers who come to see us have a sense of futility and anger about being here. They are really in a state of depression and despair and just want to get back to their families,” said Captain Jeff Masengale, of the 10th Mountain Division’s 2-87 Infantry Battalion.

“They feel they are risking their lives for progress that’s hard to discern,” said Captain Sam Rico, of the Division’s 4-25 Field Artillery Battalion. “They are tired, strained, confused and just want to get through.” The chaplains said that they were speaking out because the men could not. www.timesonline.co.uk

Sure, there are those who will call Obama weak or indecisive for not moving ahead with the battle plan as laid out by General McChrystal. But... as Commander-In-Chief, does Obama really want the kind of blood on his hands from the young lives that will be lost in what will be a long sustained occupation? Can he sleep at night remembering the faces of the many troops who will never celebrate another Christmas... see another loved one graduate from school... miss out on raising their young children?

Say what you will... but I am pleased with the president taking the next two or three weeks to ponder this weighty decision. Pray that God gives him direction!

"...the White House will become the Muslim house.”

As thousands of Muslims converge on the steps of the Capitol on September 25th to celebrate a NATIONAL PRAYER DAY, there are so many questions swirling around–– particularly what is the purpose and long term outcome of this event.

Without a doubt, fear of the Islamic religion by some in America is a chief underlying cause for much of the apprehension and questions. Questions such as: ARE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS WELCOME TO COME AND PRAY AS WELL? ••• WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THEIR THEME "OUR TIME HAS COME?" COME TO DO, BE OR SAY WHAT? ••• IS ISLAM TRYING TO REPLACE LONG STANDING JUDO-CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AS THE PREMIER RELIGION IN THE U.S.? ••• IS THIS PART OF THE CHANGE THAT PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS ALLUDING TO DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID?

These, and other questions, are prompting people in breadbasket America to wonder just "what is going on"??

In addition, sound bites by major event organizers, such as: "...the White House will become the Muslim house”, and other information as posted by the prayer organizers on their website––designed to clarify the event's purpose––actually raises more questions, than provides answers. According to Islamoncapitolhill.com website:

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH....

 The objective of this gathering is to invite the Muslim Communities and friends of Islam to express and illustrate the wonderful diversity of Islam. We intend to manifest Islam's majestic spiritual principals as revealed by Allah to our beloved prophet 

Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM) of Arabia. Likewise; we intend to inspire a new generation of Muslim to work for the greater good of all people. We shall serve all 

people, regardless of race, religion or national origin. 


Now, most Americans are for diversity, inclusion, and for allowing religious expression to all. However, taking in to consideration that the U.S. is just 8-short years post-9/11... and the hijackers who attacked this country were alleged Muslims... there are some out here who may not be ready to see a mass rally of our Muslim brothers and sisters gathered in the nation's Capitol declaring "our time has come".

Even if the prayer's purpose is peaceful... the visual of 20,000+ Islam worshippers, praying to their God at the backdoor of the White House, may be overwhelming to even the most broad-minded of people––to say the least.

South Carolina Representative Calls President A Liar

It is unfortunate that Congressman Joe Wilson, (R-SC) behaved in such a disrespectful manner during the President of the United States' address to the joint houses of Congress. I commend President Obama for keeping his cool and I believe that Representative Wilson did the right thing by apologizing forthwith.

Many comments have been made regarding respecting the Office of the President... however, I would like to suggest that our elected leaders display common decency and respect toward each other. A real person, President Barack H. Obama, is currently serving in the highest office in the land, and is the leader of the free world. He deserves respect–– as a man first––and then because of the title and office he holds. People can say what they like but the fact remains that he is, and will be our President for the next several years.

So I recommend: Enough with the red herrings and ice cream covered hypocrisy - let's be real. It is no secret that some Americans are still abhorred at the fact that we have a President of Color. Well, to them I say: GET OVER IT. This is America! A melting pot of the world.

The Declaration of Independence states:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 4-JULY-1776"

I believe that a fundamental shift is necessary in America. We must take a bath in Truth and realize that the word ALL means ALL.

Fox Network Says "NO" To Obama's Speech To Congress

EXTRA EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

“The Fox Broadcasting Company will not air the Presidential Address to Congress on Wednesday, September 9 at 8:00 PM (ET). FOX’s sister networks, Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network will air the presidential address in its entirety. FOX will alert viewers with an on-screen graphic at the top of the 8:00 PM (ET) hour that the presidential address is available on Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network.”

Has this sort of repudiation or "in-your-face-dissing" of a U.S. President by a major network ever happened in the history of the nation? And by Fox Broadcasting of all stations?

This is significant. Will their actions prompt other stations to refuse airing future addresses by the President–– as this is his 5th prime time speech in his eight month tenure. And, bottome line... each presidential speech means a loss of revenue for that time slot for those stations.

Currently, Fox News Channel, which boasts of being the number one television news network in the nation, available to approximately 102 million households in the U.S. alone... not to mention its international audience, will carry the President "live", as will its other sister station, Fox Business.

So let's examine this. If just a mere 30% of the national audience decide they don't care to hear President Obama's healthcare speech and don't watch him, or tune into Fox Broadcasting for alternative programming, i.e. the Simpsons, et. al... and Foxs' ratings blow through the roof on that evening, well, this could be a major problem for the President, especially on an issue as important as healthcare.

Where are we headed in this country? Yes... it was the complicit main stream media who made Obama and helped propel him to the White House... but now, will it be a lone, defiant, conservative driven network's refusal to comply with a Presidential address that will further erode Obama's power and demean the power of the office? Wow... it could be. This sort of behavior has been here-to-fore... unheard of! I guess this is all part of that 'Change' thingy.

Stay tuned.

GOP: Great White Hope Needed To Derail Obama?

Some people in the Republican Party have seemingly lost their minds since the election of Barack Hussein Obama! Some of these folks can't seem to let it go that Barack Obama is black, and he is the president. End of story.

Now, it is down right ludicrous some of the words emanating from the lips of some GOP leaders. Case in point, Topeka Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins, during a recent town hall meeting said that Republicans would need to embrace a great "White Hope" to derail the agenda of President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats.

What???? "Great White Hope"? And this great White Hope's job is to do what exactly? Will he display super human strength or a superior intellect to discount Obama's? Will he corral or woo those hundreds of thousands of white voters who voted for Obama and convince them to vote 'white only' in the next election? What???

I had hoped these words were a misprint of what was said... because it is hard to believe she really said that.

But, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal, Jenkins identifies three potential members of the U.S. House of Representatives as these "Great White Hopes" -- House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). All are future leaders in the GOP... and all three are white, as is Jenkins.

"So don't, you know, lose faith if you are a conservative," Jenkins went on to say.

So, help me here... no other nationality has the 'juice' to take Obama down? No great "Hispanic Hope"? Or great "Asian Hope"... or even a great "Black or Indian Hope" has the political muscle to derail the Obama agenda? Is Jenkins' and other white GOP brothers/sisters thinking that only a white male has the power to dethrone the half white/half black Obama? Unbelieveable....

And the GOP leadership continues to wonder why they can't attract minorities to the Republican tent in any sizeable numbers. Augh!

Martha's Vineyard Vacation May Seal Obama's Fate

Whoever advised President Barack Obama to go on a week's vacation in elite's-ville a/k/a Martha's Vineyard, especially in the midst of the worst economic times evah... must have really hated the president's guts. Now another day or another time... there would be nothing wrong with the Obama's going wherever they wanted to go for vacation.

But what? With so many Americans feeling the impact of this brutal economy: either someone in their family or someone close to them out of work; credit cards–– which often served as mini-loans that helped keep the family budget afloat from month to month–– now maxed out and financial ruin on the horizon; daily reports of run away government spending that may mean an increase in their taxes; the hundreds of thousands of Americans losing, or walking away from their homes and living in uncertainty from week to week... not knowing how, or if they are going to make it... just which of Obama's advisers suggested to him to spend his vacation in a luxurious, expensive, hotty-totty, Republican-owned home in the richest neighborhood in the nation? While most folks in the U.S. couldn't even afford to take the grandchildren to grandma's house this summer, or buy a steak, or take their family to a movie because many are 'broke'... the president should have sacrificed this vacation spot this year to show he is in sync with the majority of the nation.

The spot: the Blue Heron Farm, a 28-acre retreat in the town of Chilmark, once deemed one of the most expensive towns in America, is among a stable of resorts that fetch $35,000 to $50,000 a week. It has been widely reported that the Obamas "are paying their own way", and that taxpayers will not pay for his, and his family's, portion of the rental property. But taxpayers will have to pay for the space being occupied by his huge entourage.

Granted, this vacation spot decision was probably made to allow him, and his family, the opportunity to attend the wedding of Chelsea Clinton, slated on Martha's Vineyard next week. But... wisdom should have kicked in and the president's better 'judgment'–– which was emphasized during his campaign as a strong suite of his–– should have made him realize that this is neither the right time, nor is this the economic or political climate to appear extravagant, elitist, or in any way 'above-the-hurting-people' he serves.

Perhaps, he should have taken his family to a Motel 6 in middle America, and spent his week eating burgers and fries, visiting homeless shelters and distributing food to the new poor. A vacation such as that would have shown that he "gets it", that he relates to the masses in America... and just may have helped his 'sure-to-continue' plummeting poll numbers.

Martha's Vineyard. Not a good idea. Not now!

Americans Direct Anger At Obama

Gee... I go on vacation for 2 weeks to enjoy my grand babies, when I return to bloggersville, it seems as if America has gone completely 'postal'. There is this explosively charged atmosphere and vitriolic anger that's hovering in the air. And quite frankly, it is very dangerous.

Are these angry Americans true patriots or are they mean hate mobs? Well, from what the pictures depict, this anger is not only real... but it appears that it is not going away anytime soon. What seems to be at the root of this anger is that people who gave President Obama the benefit of the doubt and voted for him back in November are finding out the following each day:

- that his promises or his 'word' is only good for that moment;
- he is less than truthful when talking to the American people on key issues––often misrepresenting the facts or just boldly fibbing;
- his style (which sometimes includes ridicule of opponents, public chastisement of groups of people; portraying himself or his beliefs as one way, but representing or acting out his true core values and beliefs completely opposite of what he says) is offensive

It's time President Obama's inner circle of advisors speak truth to him... and do it quickly. But not only that... he would do himself well if he listens to them, get his ego in check, and move back toward governing the nation from the center. If he does not, he will lose the rest of the Independents and those who bit the bullet and voted for him over McCain, and never get them back.

Another point he needs to consider and do it post haste: stop pissing off Israel and Bibi Netanyahu. Every U.S. leader who has supported Israel... has been blessed with God's favor, and the nation as well. Israel is our ally and we don't need President Obama jeopardizing the years of harmonious relationship by alienating the Jews!

President Obama has time to either turn his presidency and legacy around now... or continue on his present path: the fast track to becoming a lame duck President for the remainder of his term, and a one-term president come 2012. He needs to decide his course of action during his summer vacation.... because from all indications, those 'bitter, bible thumping, gun toting patriot/mobs' are only going to get bigger, louder, and more angry!

CUPCAKES???? I Know Obama Didn't Say That To The American People!!!

You know... I refuse to even blog on President Obama's latest insulting attempt at humor to try and justify the 'non-stimulating' stimulus bill. I will just let the picture and the words speak for themselves:

Obama says, “we helped stop a recession from becoming a depression,” and explains how the jobs programs in the stimulus are helping. Says tax cuts are helping people buy “cupcakes and other necessities of life.”

CUPCAKES???? A necessity of life?????!!???

President Obama's Mojo Needs Reworking––Quick!

A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll has President Barack Obama’s public approval numbers dropping like a lead balloon. This poll shows Obama' disapproval rating has climbed 11 percent in the last three months and his approval ratings are down ten points.

That is a steep drop by anyone's calculation. With merely 180-days under his belt as Commander-in-Chief, Obama's inner circle of advisors most certainly are concerned about these poll numbers.

Conventional wisdom says Obama's sinking numbers are a reflection of voters now experiencing buyers remorse and also reflects the hundreds of thousands of Independents and Obamacans (Republicans who voted for Obama during the 2008 election) who are especially troubled and disenchanted with his cap and trade and health care reform bills.

"While he still has a majority of America on his side, according to the latest Washington Post/ABC News Poll, when asked specifically about the economy, health care, and unemployment, President Obama’s support is slipping, with a low of 43% approval when it comes to the deficit". www.examiner.com ~ July 20, 2009

.

Another disturbing indicator to add to Obama's poll troubles is that approximately 44 percent of Americans now say they don't trust Obama to handle health care and that number may rise after his budget chief, Peter Orszag, said on a recent Sunday talk show that abortions may be included in the final package Obama signs.

The president seemingly has lost his shine. And in this instant-grits-gotta-have-it-right-now society... if he doesn't get his mojo back working before the August recess, it may be lost forever–– rendering him impotent for the remainder of his presidency!

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Kim Jung Il To U.S. President: Do Something

North Korean leader Kim Jung Il has upped the ante in his trash-talk to President Obama. The Dear Leader not only dares the U.S. to board his ship, Kang Nam, which left from a port in North Korea recently and could possibly be carrying missile parts or nuclear materials in violation of a UN sanction... but Jung Il has now publicly put the U.S. President on front street by threatening to fire a new round of missiles directly toward Obama's backyard: HAWAII!

After watching President Barack Hussein Obama mercilessly and calculatingly slap the snot out of that 'fly' on national television for annoying him and trying to make him look bad during the CNBC interview, and never even batted his eye or wiped his hands afterwards, it became apparent that Obama is ruthless and my money is on him. Look out Kim Jung Il

And who was that said Obama looks like he wouldn't harm a fly? Pul-leeze!

Kim Jung Il to U.S. President: Do Something Obama

North Korea's ailing leader, Kim Jung Il, has now gone way beyond his usual rhetoric and jive-talking––which earned him, and his country, a place as one of the Axis of Evil nations under the Bush administration. In an official threat to the United States of America, North Korea's Dear Leader declared it was now in the "early phase of all-out confrontation with the US"... raising tensions between the two countries to a very dangerous level.

Angered because of a new round of sanctions that the United Nations ordered against his country for the recent testing of a second nuclear missile, Kim Jung Il has now decided to take the less-than-150-day-in office-President Barack Obama head on. According to Peter Foster of the Telegraph.co.uk:

In a bellicose statement, Pyongyang described the sanctions as the "vile product" of US policy in the region, adding that it would also begin work enriching uranium as it sought to build up stocks of fissile material for its nuclear weapons programme.

The North is thought to have approximately 8,000 spent plutonium fuel rods which, if reprocessed, could yield 6-8kg of high-grade plutonium, or enough to make at least one more nuclear bomb.

The sanctions have also authorised UN member-states to stop and search North Korean vessels on the high seas if they suspect they are carrying banned nuclear or missile components, a measure that has drawn particular ire from Pyongyang. North Korea replied that any attempt to blockade its ships would be regarded "as an act of war and met with a decisive military response", and promised to meet any confrontation with "all-out confrontation".

The belligerent response to the sanctions order, which explicitly rules out the use of military force, was anticipated by the US which has sought to downplay tensions, repeatedly calling for Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table." www.telegraph.co.uk

Now, I am all for talking and negotiating, and trying to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner... but when a 67-year old, sick, dictator like Kim Jung Il tells a 46-year old, black leader of the free world that "any attempt to blockade its ships would be regarded 'as an act of war' and met with a decisive military response"... and then goes on to promise to meet any confrontation with 'all-out confrontation'" ... them's fighting words anyway you look at it.

President Obama has put forth his noble, gentleman, Rodney King 'why-can't-we-all-get-along' position, but North Korea's Dear Leader is using his clenched fist to pat his butt at Obama and America... and that is unacceptable!!!

The world is watching us. It's time for President Obama to do something––not SAY something–– to let this rogue leader, and all other leaders across the globe who may want to try similar actions against this great nation–– that 'Barack Hussein Obama don't play'!

C'mon now. Do something Obama...

Obama Haters: Osama, Khamenei, Hershkowitz, Jung il, To Name A Few...

President Barack Obama is racking up a list Hater-aide drinkers that resemble the world's list of Who's Who.

On the day of his historic speech to Muslims in Cairo Egypt, the supreme cleric leader of Iran didn't give the country's president, Ahmadinejad, the honors of rebutting Obama's address. No... instead, Khamenei, the chief religious ruler of that region came out swinging–– denouncing the U.S. President's words as 'nothing'... and going as far as to say Obama's words would not result in any change.

"You witness that in Afghanistan, American warplanes bomb people and kill some 150 not once, but 10 and 100 times. They kill people continually. So, terrorist groups, do what you are doing there. If the new president of America wants a change of face, America should change this behaviour. Words and talk will not result in change," Khamenei said.

The Iranian cleric's comments came on the heels of back-to-back scathing, newly released tapes from both the #1 and #2s of Al-Qaeda outfit: al-Zahari and Osama Bin Laden. In an effort to rain on President Obama's parade and discredit his much ballyhooed speech to the Islamic people, Bin Laden released an audio clip that was broadcast on Al Jazeera satellite TV, which accused Barack Obama of giving an "order" to Pakistani leaders to blitz those Talibans who impose Islamic law in the Swat Valley, causing "about a million" civilians to be "homeless and refugees."

Issuing a threat to America and its first African American leader, Bin Laden promised Obama that his Al Qaeda warriors will strike the U.S. for following "in the steps" of George W. Bush. And to add further insult and minimize Obama's influence in the Muslim world, Bin Laden said:

"Obama and his administration have planted new seeds to increase hatred for and revenge against America. So, let the American people prepare to continue reaping what the chiefs of the White House sow during the coming years and decades."

Jumping into the fray to lash out against Obama's Mid-East policy and his speech to the Muslim culture was Jewish leader, Daniel Hershkowitz. In an angered tone Hershkowitz said Obama's speech presented a "fabricated history" and ignored those Palestinians who have not renounced terror.

"The government of Israel is not America's lackey. The relations with the Americans are based on friendship and not submission, and therefore Israel must tell Obama that stopping natural growth in the settlements is a red line," Hershkowiz told the Jerusalem Post.

And on top of all of this drama and collective Obama-bashing currently being played out by these world leaders on the world stage, in the background North Korea's leader Kim Jung il continues firing long and short range missles, and threatening U.S. interests... while daring President Obama to do anything about it.

Well, having been Black all my life, I offer a word of caution to these Obama haters: Osama, Khamenei, Hershkowitz, Jung il, to name a few. They had better watch out. Because... deep down inside of Obama, there must be an 'angry black man' who has some South Chicago 'hood fight' in him. And when he finally becomes unleashed, Obama will probably make each of them bullies look like mild mannered Sunday School teachers by the time his wrath is done!

America Is Broke, Says President Obama

Huh? Did I miss something?

During a recent C-Span interview, President Barack Obama, in keeping with his pledge to inform the American people of what is really going on and to remain true to his mantra of 'transparency', laid all the cards on the table: the United States "we are out of money".

BUT the confusing part of his message was when he went on to say we need to spend more to fix Medicare and Medicaid. I am missing something here.

Would that be equivalent to having lost my job, and exhausted all of my savings, owing my mama, sisters, co-workers, bigmama, and everybody else I could borrow money from... but continuing to max-out one credit card to pay off another credit card, knowing full well that I have no money, and no way to get any money to pay back family or any of the credit card bills when they come due at the end of the month? Incredible!

Here is the transcript between Obama and Steve Scully, as posted on Drudge Report:

"SCULLY: You know the numbers, $1.7 trillion debt, a national deficit of $11 trillion. At what point do we run out of money?

OBAMA: Well, we are out of money now. We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we've made on health care so far. This is a consequence of the crisis that we've seen and in fact our failure to make some good decisions on health care over the last several decades.

So we've got a short-term problem, which is we had to spend a lot of money to salvage our financial system, we had to deal with the auto companies, a huge recession which drains tax revenue at the same time it's putting more pressure on governments to provide unemployment insurance or make sure that food stamps are available for people who have been laid off.

So we have a short-term problem and we also have a long-term problem. The short-term problem is dwarfed by the long-term problem. And the long-term problem is Medicaid and Medicare. If we don't reduce long-term health care inflation substantially, we can't get control of the deficit.

So, one option is just to do nothing. We say, well, it's too expensive for us to make some short-term investments in health care. We can't afford it. We've got this big deficit. Let's just keep the health care system that we've got now". www.drudgereport.com

President Obama needs to come back and explain this interview in detail. This is scary!

Obama's Base Erupts Over His Photos Decision

President Barack Obama's decision to block the upcoming release of Bush-era detainee abuse photos, has caused quite a firestorm across bloggerville. Obama, who continues to distance himself and demonstrate independence from his left-leaning base, reversed his original position to allow hundreds of 'never-before-seen' photos to be released to the American public after conferring with his military and national security experts.

According to President Obama:

"...publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals. In fact, the most direct consequence of releasing them would be to further inflame anti-American opinion, and to put our troops in greater danger."

Angry, vile, and vicious comments, aimed specifically at Obama, have been posted on hundreds of blog sites... with many of his faithful followers voicing feelings of betrayal and of being double-crossed by Obama's decision.

"Obama's decision "makes a mockery" of his promise of greater transparency and accountability. By withholding these photographs from public view, the Obama administration is making itself complicit in the Bush administration's torture policies," ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said.

Obama's no fool... and he is a shrewd politician! With a major speech to the Islamic world already being planned, and slated to be held in Egypt one week after the scheduled release of those now canceled inflammatory photos, Obama realizes that his message to that culture would have been lost in the controversy if those photos were circulated prior to his trip. His advisors were wise to counsel him to take the immediate heat from his left-rooted base for the greater gamble of scoring big among the Muslim community around the world with his upcoming speech.

President Obama must continue to govern center-right and keep making the right moves he has been making thus far.

100 Days of President Barack Obama: So Far, So Good

President Barack Hussein Obama has completed his first 100 days as Commander-in-Chief, and overall his performance has been good. Not great... not awful... but good!

His selection of Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State was an excellent choice––one of the best he has made thus far. This single appointment helped formulate an opinion in the minds of many Americans about this virtually unknown man from Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, by-way of Chicago. Choosing Clinton as his Condoleeza Rice demonstrated his ability to to forge alliances––even with his enemies–– for the good of the people. That characteristic will be vitally important as Obama moves to bring warring factions to the table to establish some sort of peace in the Middle East.

Obama's recent release of President Bush's torture documents and soon-to-be-released photos from the Pentagon depicting abuses of several terror detainees, has the potential to backfire and severely hamstring his policy goals going forth. His often repeated position of "moving forward, turning the page, and not wasting valuable time and energy looking back" was the one 'constant' mantra of his which made him look statesmanlike and Reaganesque. But, his obvious reversal of stance by releasing these explosive documents will be a haunting moment in history for him, his administration and the United States... for years to come.

The economy, economy, economy! The jury is still out on President Obama and his treasury team. Amanda Ruggeri of U.S. News.com sums it up best:

"When he launched his campaign for president, Barack Obama could not have foreseen that the signature accomplishment of his first 100 days in office would likely involve spending $787 billion on an economic stimulus package. But the effects of that piece of legislation—one heavy with both expenditures and expectations of economic recovery—may well determine Obama's success as president."

Juggling his concern and commitment for the 'little man'... while keeping the financial titans of Wall Street onboard his rocky boat, has been a feat well worth watching. Obama knows that if he loses the confidence of African Americans by sucking up to or being seen as too appeasing to White establishment... or, if he loses White Americans in mass because he is perceived as being too socialistic by spreading their wealth around to Blacks and other minorities... he will be a one-term President without a doubt. Walking that tightrope is one he will have to do his entire presidency.

President Obama's foriegn policy and interactions with world leaders–– while being criticized by many on the 'Right' as concilliatory––is really quite smart. It would seem that as a black male growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia, Obama probably learned at an early age that his size and color made him suspect and not easy-to-be-trusted by some in the majority. The same judgement and mistrust probably applied when he moved to inner city Chicago–– talking and acting like a White person among the brothers in the 'hood.

So, he more than likely mastered that skill of playing the underdog, the apologist, the weaker one, until he could get his peers to feel comfortable enough with him to include him in their inner circle... as he appears to be quite adept at it. That strategy seems to be working quite well for President Obama even now, as he plays on the world stage. America's size and some of its actions in the past have made her untrustworthy and hated by many around the globe. It's a brilliant move on President Obama's part to play the underdog until other nations, and their leaders, feel comfortable with the U.S. again and embrace us as the leading nation we are.

Overall, Obama has done a good job his first three months in office. His popularity among the people is his saving grace... and he is going to need to maintain that popularity as a tsunami is more than likely waiting for him, and this country, right over the horizon, and guaranteed to test the very core of who and what we are!

Terror In NY: Obama's Plane Does A 911 "Gotcha" Moment

Startled and afraid New Yorkers were gripped with panic when a low-flying Air Force One look-alike plane flew over the Hudson River today. This scheduled photo-op, which was allegedly sanctioned by the White House, happened early Monday morning, unbeknownst to local residents and, according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, neither was his office informed of the fly-over as well.

Bloomberg, in an attempt to distance himself from any culpability, stated in a hastily arranged press conference that he did receive "an e-mail notification" which

“...did have the normal language of saying this is sensitive information, should be distributed on a need-to-know basis, that they did not plan to have any publicity about it, which I think is ridiculous and just poor judgment.”

Bloomberg, who was obviously angry at the ill-timed stunt added:

"Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo-op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination. Poor judgment would be a nice ways to phrase it, but they did. I also think that once they had told us, we should have done a better job. Had I known about it, I would have called them right away and asked them not to. It is the federal government and they can do in the end what they please, but I would have tried to stop it. I don’t know there’s a lot else to say other than they shouldn’t have done it".

Many in the main stream media have been hesitant to report on this story. However, eyewitnesses reported that frightened employees evacuated buildings, and pregnant women scurried down flights of stairs. Other accounts were that some people, who possibly survived September 11th, were seen weeping uncontrollably as memories of those two planes, which were commandeered by nineteen Arab hijackers and slammed into the World Trade Center, were revisited.

Whoever authorized this cruel fly-over joke is a dangerous individual who has no place in government in a post 9/11 age. President Obama will surely fire such a person or persons... and offer a sincere apology to the American people for allowing this hoax to be perpetrated under his watch!
