Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that together we can do great things. In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.
We have that kind of opportunity with Senator Obama.
That pretty much sums up how a lot of Obama’s supporters feel about his candidacy. I include myself in that number.
The endorsement is symbolic at best, and probably doesn’t mean a lot in the grand scheme of things, that being said you can’t deny that there is just something about him that is inspiring.
In other news, John Edwards dropped out of the race today. Let it be known that if Obama wasn’t running for president I would be backing John Edwards. This man is a class act. Yes he’s playing both sides of the fence but that should not take away from him being a man of integrity and passion. “It is time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its’ path.” He’s the only white man talking about “We should never forget about New Orleans.” He has my respect, but we want that endorsement and those delegates nukka, hand em over NOW!
I know I’m a little all over the place today but I have to talk about the Dean of Harlem and Chair of the House Ways and Means committee, that’s right the Kingfish himself the one the only Charles “don’t call me Carlos” Rangel. Hey brotha do you know where you wife is?? It appears that Mrs. Rangel has more sense than her husband. It amazes me that Rep. Rangel encouraged Obama to run back in January of 2007.
Here's a little secret. Rep. Rangel is supporting Hillary as part of a deal that will make Lt Gov. David Patterson Senator when Hillary has to give up her seat. Gov. Spitzer is down with the plan so if Hillary becomes president expect David Patterson to be on the short list of contenders. Hell the list is so short that it just has his name on it. Ahh politics.
And now I just want to get some sjit off my chest. The Super Bowl is this Sunday. The Pats vs. the Giants. Personally I am not a fan of either team. That being said I will have a smirk on my face when the Pats win the Super Bowl. Oh yes that's not a prediction that's just me stating the enviable. Why will I have a smirk on my face you ask? Well let me tell ya. I got two words for ya RANDY MOSS.
Let me give ya some back story on this before I go into my rant. Ya see I had a conversation with one of my melanin challenged friends today and I happened to tell him that while I'm not rooting for the Pats but I will have a smirk on my face because of Randy Moss. My friend (let's call him Tony) let me have it. Rany Moss doesn't deserve a ring he's a criminal, blah blah blah. Taking his comments in stride I asked him the following: What does that have to do with what he does on the field? NOTHING. Tony then in turn played the role of Bill Clinton and said I'm only defending Randy Moss cause he's black. Tony couldn't have been more wrong. And that leads me to my following Super Bowl rant.
The Pats are the best team in the NFL period. They are the first team to go undefeated in over 30 years. That being said they are not as sweaky clean as they would like EVERYONE to believe. This team was accused earlier this year of cheating, Tom Brady has baby momma drama and Randy Moss is slapping women. I do not like the Pats. But I respect their collective gangsta. And I love the fact that Randy Moss will get a ring with this team. There's just something so poetic about this All American team working with Randy Moss. Y'all remember that Afro he used to rock back in Minnesota? I want to see that sjit when they win Sunday I hope he takes those corn rose out his hair and let his Afro loose. If we gonna have a show then let's have a show. Ya dig?
