One More Good Reason Not to Vote for Obama


This picture is from one of my earliest posts and it bears repeating.

You can regurgitate all the so-called "positives" about this guy. He's smart. He's young. He brings new ideas to the table. He makes Oprah moist. Blah, blah, blah.

But, I get back to this very blatent misstep and it is commonly made by most leading African-Americans. They all possess an inherent inability to censure other African-Americans. The most intelligent and the most sensible African-American leaders never ever come out and, for lack of a better phrase, call a spade a spade. Obama should be keeping an arm's length from those screwballs who fancy themselves as being the moral benchmarks of their race. But, yet, here he is with his arm around one of the biggest frauds walking this country at the present time. A liar. A fraud. A rascist.

Now, Al Sharpton has jumped in to throw gasoline on another ash tray. Some poor bimbo at the Golf Channel makes a verbal faux pas and puts the words "Tiger Woods" and "lynching" in the same sentence. She apologizes to Woods immediately. He calls it a non-issue. Moving on? Nope. Because Sharpton elbows his way in to demand the reporter's firing. And, backs to the wall, the Golf Channel is forced to suspend her. In all this, do we hear Tiger Woods come out and censure Sharpton? Of course not. History repeating itself like a chronic case of acid reflux.
If I say more, I risk being called a racist. But, still, it happens again and again and again. Follow the logic and you wind up with OJ Simpson wandering the street for 11 years until he got caught one more time. Think he'll be convicted for this latest crime of his? Don't be sure until you get a good look at the jury.

So, Obama keeps talking about change in this country. He is the fresh voice to bring us all together. He will bridge every faction till we are all one. Blah, blah, blah. But, then you see him put his arms around Al Sharpton and he, too, builds a bridge. Because he makes a connection for purely political reasons and essentially becomes nothing more than what Sharpton is.

A liar. A fraud. A racist.

Dinner last night: Filet mignon, broccoli, and potatoes.
