I do believe that BLACK DOES CRACK, but all the cracking takes place on the inside. <br /><br />The realization that you are seen as a slave even if you are master. <br /><br />The realization that you'll never be white enough for the Whitehouse but you'll always be black enough for Jailhouse. <br /><br />The realization that even our women of great character, womanhood and motherood is demonized as a ghetto hoodrat. <br /><br />The realization that no one really cares about black in America despite all the talk. <br /><br />For all intents and purposes, we're still the 20 AND ODD African slaves in Jamestown trying to prove we're more valuable that the family dog.BLUEBUTTERFLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586633771700046340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-63586570760478510562009-08-18T08:00:35.026-07:002009-08-18T08:00:35.026-07:00To answer the leading question posed: I think the ...To answer the leading question posed: I think the answer is yes.<br /><br />In my opinion, to be a leader is to accept:<br /><br />- that you will not always be liked<br />- that you are in the end always accountable for the actions of your team<br />- that it is not always about compromise<br />- that you have to make the tough decisions<br />- that your team needs to know who is boss and that they are accountable to you<br /><br />just to name a few...<br /><br />Based on his "demonstrated" lack of performance, I see no positive outcome.<br /><br />I did vote for him as I did not like the alternative but he was not my first choice on the democratic ticket.<br /><br />I am neither republican or democrate, I declare myself as independent and actually wish there were more parties to choose from.<br /><br />At the moment, it looks very bleak and frankly a man that will not defend/stand up for his woman, lacks in character. If he cannot stand up for his wife, then it pretty much says it all for any policies...<br /><br />Waiting for 2012....Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241393474934762460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-3544732792835369242009-08-17T21:22:55.501-07:002009-08-17T21:22:55.501-07:00Khadija: Death panels indeed. If this plan passes ...Khadija: Death panels indeed. If this plan passes at all it will because enough people decided to push back against the insanity crew. It won't be because Obama did anything. I'm still dumbstruck by his unreliability and by those who still insist on making excuses for him. <br /><br />kiya697: Thanks! I'd really rather be writing about how Obama is kicking butt and taking names...but oh well.<br /><br />blackgirlinmaine: I think any of us who use common sense can see the writing on the wall. As I've previously stated I voted for him, volunteered and was very invested in seeing him elected. Once he was in office I expected results! Specific results that reflected his gratitude to the group of people who voted for him in such high percentages. Now I'm just wondering when Hillary's going to announce her 2012 run.Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-45127858514268328642009-08-17T19:42:07.362-07:002009-08-17T19:42:07.362-07:00Please get out of my head.

Um...how much time does he need to start doing something? <br /><br />Sadly I am starting to feel like he is not good for anything other than great speeches. Look, I had no love for Bush and Cheney but them boys did not play....Obama needs to take a page from their playbook and stop acting all tentativey and start being the man in charge. <br /><br />Anyway this an excellent post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-45161156723309095162009-08-17T17:08:31.465-07:002009-08-17T17:08:31.465-07:00Ms. V: Welcome and thanks for delurking.

I just read Barry's Op Ed piece and it was . . . <em>breathtaking</em>. . .in terms of being mealy-mouthed and weak.<br /><br />He's droning on with statements like <em>"But let’s make sure that we talk with one another, and not over one another. We are bound to disagree, but let’s disagree over issues that are real, and not wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that anyone has actually proposed. This is a complicated and critical issue, and it deserves a serious debate."</em><br /><br />MEANWHILE, back in the REAL world, his lunatic opponents are on/in the media 24/7 lying and screaming about <em>"death panels for Granny."</em><br /><br />{sigh} Barry is even less than what I previously thought of him; which wasn't much...{sigh}<br /><br />Peace, blessings and solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-2063227309186146092009-08-17T07:46:36.571-07:002009-08-17T07:46:36.571-07:00Good Morning,
