Thank you Sinbad for coming forward with the truth about what happened in Bosnia. So it turns out there was no snipers. So where is the outrage? Last week Obama was judged on the words of his pastor yet this week Hillary is not being judged on the words that came out of her very own mouth. If Hillary can lie about this, what else is she capable of lying about? It's not the lie that bothers me as much as the way she brushes this off.
So it turns out that those pledged delegates are not necessarily pledged. A delegate can change his or her mind at the time of the convention. Am I the only one who thinks that this system is a tad bit flawed? So am I to assume that Hillary’s plan is to plant the seed of dissent in the hearts of the Obama delegates? Is it just me or does Hillary Clinton wants to win this nomination at all costs even if it means that she destroys the party in the process?
I’m full of questions today. Have ya noticed?
Ya know how people were complementing the grace Hillary showed last week when she kept her mouth shut about Rev. Wright? Well I guess that’s over. “You know, you don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” Very sly Mrs. Clinton, very sly indeed.
That’s a very interesting statement. Because if Hillary had a choice do you think she would want Hugh and Tony Rodham for brothers? For those of you who have not taken the time to dig up the dirt on these two please allow me to brief you. Apparently Hugh Rodham received around four hundred thousand dollars for legal services regarding gaining the Presidential pardon of fraudulent businessman Glenn Braswell and the sentence commutation of drug trafficker Carlos Vignali. Vignali was sentenced to fifteen years for shipping cocaine to Minnesota. Tony Rodham in 2002 was in disputes with his former wife over child support payments, with Nicole Boxer saying he had not paid them in six months.
So I can understand why Hillary would say that you can’t choose your family. After reading Carl Bernstein’s article about Hillary’s inability to be open and honest, I’ve come to a conclusion.
Hillary Clinton has a problem being candid. She was ok with Florida and Michigan’s delegates not being seated when she thought she had the nomination wrapped up, but was quick to change her tune when she realized it wasn’t going to be handed to her. But the thing that bothers me the most about her is that she is completely blind to the fact that she is acting like she’s entitled to this nomination. And what bothers me more than that are her supporters who believe she deserves this, as if to say it is her turn. That’s where my problem lies. This is not something that you can just hand to a person. Can someone tell me why she deserves to be president?
Before I go I want to leave y’all with this, when a black man cheats on his wife the best gift he can give her is an 8 carat purple diamond ring, but when a white man cheats on his wife the best gift he can give her is a seat in the US Senate and possibly the Presidency.

Real Talk
"Real Talk" is a common term used nowadays to underline how serious a person is. Sen. Obama's speech yesterday is a perfect example of "Real Talk". He did an outstanding job of outlining the problem on both sides of the issue.
In hearing and reading over Obama's speech I realized that he does love this country with a passion. I love this country but I don't think I would be able to do what he did yesterday. I would rather give up and tell everyone to go to hell if I was put in that position. Obama showed me that he is willing to stand up for himself and what he believes in and speak from the heart. He faced the issue head on. It was one of the bravest things I've seen a politican do in recent memory.
But was it good enough? The analysis following his speech has been pretty mixed. In my humble opinion it was good enough for the people that actually understand the issue of race in America and, the people who are trying to understand the issue of race. But it was not good enough for those looking for him to apologize for (and denounce) Jeremiah Wright for his sermons. And may I say frankly,
HOW DARE YOU?
How dare you pundits ask this man to renounce his pastor. How dare you (network news media) reduce Rev. Wright's 30+ year career to a bunch of sound bites. How dare you insult Sen. Obama's intelligence by assuming that just because he goes to a church that has a pastor who has radical views that in some way would mean that Sen. Obama would share those views as well? Never in the history of this country has a candidate been under that kind of scrutiny to the point in where his character is in question because of the kind of church he goes to.
Where was this outrage when G.W. was kissing the ass of the racist religious right?
Let it be known I am not a Christian. So please don't think I'm going to go on some religious rant here. I just think that Obama has spent too much time jumping through hoops.
First they said he wasn't black enough. Then they started rumors that he was Muslim. Then Hillary said the media was taking it too easy on him. And all of sudden we are lead to believe that Obama is now TOO BLACK? And ya know what pisses me off the most? When it is all said and done. Some pundit will say "Well ya know the President of United States is just a FIGUREHEAD for the government."
Where you at Andrew Young? Say sumthin. SAY SUMTHIN NUKKA! Is he BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW MUTHAFCUKA! WELL IS HE? SAY SUMTHIN!
Sorry I got a little flustered there. I just took my meds so I should be alright throughout the duration of this post.
Where was I? Oh yea HOW DARE YOU? When I say "YOU" I mean the pundits who have disected his speech and have learned NOTHING FROM IT.
"The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright's sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning."
What part of that don't you people understand?
Like many other bloggers out there I took the liberty of posting Sen. Obama's speech below. It clocks in at 37:10 minutes if you have the time listen to it and judge for yourself.
I love this country but I think Chris Rock said it best when talking about Black people's love/hate feelings for America when he said. "America is like the uncle who molested you as a child but paid for you to go to college."
Thank you and God bless.

Mid-Week Rant
It's Wednesday and I've already learnt so much. First on Monday I learnt there are drugs in our drinking water. Then Tuesday I find out that New York’s governor like whores.
And now it's Wednesday. Eliot Spitzer has announced he will resign from office.
And in the middle of all that Obama won another primary and Geraldine Ferraro feels that "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
So where do I begin.....I'll start with Ms. Ferraro.
Ms. Ferraro is under the impression that being black is an advantage in politics. If her son was black he would be in jail right now. If her husband was black he'd be in jail right now. So I'm kind of confused as to where she gets off thinking that being black is some kind of advantage.
One time I was at a bar, just minding my business and as I was enjoying my beer I observed two women talking and enjoying themselves. The first one was kinda cute but very laid back. The second one was loud and obnoxious and just didn't know when to shut up. The second chick in this story reminds me of Ms. Ferraro. She just doesn't know when to shut up, so much so that it kinda makes you wonder why this kinda cute girl (Hillary) is friends with her.
It makes me question her judgement.
Now say Obama just happened to be in the same room with Louis Farrakhan for under two minutes. You just know the media would lose their collective minds over this and he'd be SOL (shit out of luck). But some how this shit with Ms. Ferraro is OK. Maybe I'm just a little sensitive but I just don't understand it.
The following comment is a classic example of what I like to call "WHITE PEOPLE LOGIC." I define White People Logic (WPL) as how white people process things in relation to race and other matters relating to various people of color.
This gave me a headache when I read it:
"Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," she told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, California. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"
So in her white mind racism works two ways. And that's where we have the heart of the problem. See racism doesn't work two ways. It only works ONE WAY. Power and prejudice equals racism.
Ms. Ferraro has stepped down from her fundraising position but she still will be raising money for Hillary on the side.
Raising money hmmmmm.....That reminds me. Spitzer.
I heard on the news this morning that Spitzer spent 80K over a period ten years on call girls. 80 grand on pussy? DAMN! Are you kidding me? Was my first reaction. Then I started to be very happy for David Paterson. I've always liked David Paterson. From what I've seen (pardon the pun) of him he's always been a stand up guy. I hope his vision (Ok I'll stop) for New York is a good one.
I feel for Spitzer's daughters. It's the children that suffer most when these things happen. I feel for his wife as well. That being said you just know the wife if gonna get a sweet book deal out of this and probably a Lifetime movie of the week. But all that money can't take away the humiliation and pain that her husband caused, but it's a start.
But you know who's gonna have the sweet deal out of this? The whore. In the next few months she's going to drop her single, get a book deal, and hit the talk show circuit. Did I mention she's only 22. It just seems as though this young girl decided to take a short cut to fame and fortune. America loves a good sex scandal, but what does that say about our society in where we reward bad behavior. Whatever you do, don't buy this whore's single and don't buy this whore's book.
Before I go I'd just like to get something off my chest. This goes out to U.S. House of Representatives. Instead of holding hearings on who's doing steriods in Professional sports. Why don't you take some time and worry about the fucking steriods in our fucking drinking water you assholes!!!!!!
If this shit keeps up at this rate we'll all be batting .350

Don't Panic
Don't panic. That's what I told myself last night as I watched the primary results. "Just be calm. It's gonna be just fine." Because if I didn't I would have killed my TV.
It's frustrating watching all these people analyzing this process. If this was anyone else they would have dropped out by now. But Hillary Clinton is different. She just keeps on going. History may remember her as the woman who nagged her way into the White House. It's the classic strategy. Just keep talking no matter what. Just keep going.
Obama can't attack her because it will look bad. But he can ask questions. For example, why haven't you made your tax returns available?
Here's the reality. Neither Obama or Clinton will get the pledged delegates needed get the 2025 needed for the nomination. Therefore Superdelegates will decide.
What scares me, is that there is an outside chance they could overturn what the pledged delegates have already voted on and give the nomination to Hillary with the provision that she make Obama her VP. Scary huh? Here's another scenario. They decide that Obama gets the top spot on the ticket but Hillary has to be his VP.
How are they going to convince America they're buddies? It's a tough sell.
But it is better than the alternative. A Clinton/Obama ticket.
If Obama has an ounce of self-respect he will refuse to be Hillary's VP. The idea alone is something that makes me sick to my stomach. Let me make it perfectly clear. I do not hate Hillary Clinton. But I do hate the methods she is using to pursue the nomination. It's one thing to win fair square but it is another to resort to back door politics ala Superdelegates. That's the thing I have a tough time dealing with. It sends the wrong message to my fellow Democrats. How can this be the same party that railed against disenfranchisement in 2000 and be the same party that would strip Michigan and Florida of their delegates?
In the words of Bill Cosby's new book. COME ON PEOPLE!
If by some chance she ends up the nominee. I will probably either not vote or I will be voting McCain.
