I am voting for President Obama in November and Newt Gingrich in March. Obama supporters in conservative states with open primaries should know that giving the president Newt as a target is as important as their general election vote. Every Mitt Romney associated super PAC T.V. ad regarding Newt’s negatives actually reinforces my contentions. The [...]

Obama vs. Cain, the Black Women with White Men List and Other Insults
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Bill Clinton, Black college, Black women, Blacks, Congress, Fox News, Georgia, GOP, Herman Cain, hip hop, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on November 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
People get and give insults in the South all day every day. If you have thin skin, you should move. These insults come to mind. The Michael Basiden Show’s list “8 Reasons Black Women Should Date White Men: First, Black Women should date whoever makes them happy and treats them well. But, the list from Basiden’s [...]
Cain/Huntsman 2012?
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michelle Obama, Obama on October 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »
When looking at presidential possibilities, two questions should come to a voter’s mind: who do you want to be president and who ensures that the other team’s guy isn’t president. As a centrist Democrat, I want Obama and if someone from the other side became president with a snap of my fingers, it would be [...]
Uncle Sam and Rev. Wright
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Conservatives, Herman Cain, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on September 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For me, being an uncle is an important role and we should all know our roles. Avuncular is an adjective that means “of or pertaining to an uncle.” Uncles and aunts serve as part-time parents like the Parents Reserves—one weekend a month and two weeks per year. A kid may hangout with good old uncle [...]
Black Elite: HistoryMakers and Who’s Next
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Boehner, Michelle Obama, Newt Gingrich, sanford bishop, zell on March 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The HistoryMakers oral history videos on Rep. Sanford Bishop and Howard University Medical School professor Dr. LaSalle Leffall reminded me of the road Black America has travelled. This history series, which chronicles the “struggle,” provides useful insight on those shoulders we are standing. A young person watching these stories should feel guilt-ridden if they aren’t striving for [...]
GOP Candidate Barrack Obama: Child Please
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Michelle Obama, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If you watch CBS’s Sunday Morning this week, you might have caught Ben Stein tripping about Barrack Obama running for president in 2012…as a Republican. Barrack Obama, Ernest Hemingway and Arthur Ashe are the coolest cats ever in my opinion but watching the president catch all this heat is rough. Stein was joking but readers [...]
President Obama, Hill Harper and Bill Cosby On Family and Full Grown Men
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, family, Michelle Obama, Obama, parenting, youth on January 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Solving the pressing family crisis in our community could start with some simple solutions. President Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope, Hill Harper’s books “Letters to a Young Brother” and “Letters to a Young Sister,” and Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint’s “Come On People” all contain a central theme on the family. To me, the theme [...]
Better Days: FLOTUS Michelle Obama and Essence Magazine
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Essence, Michelle Obama, Obama on December 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The last few weeks of a year are times for reflection and preparation. I am personally battle-weary from politics and yearning for a 2011 that focuses more on positive public policy and better leadership. Our southern heritage should push us toward a mindset based on personal choices, decisions and consequences rather than waiting for the [...]
Obama Supporters: Watch Fox News then Vote
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, democrats, Fox News, Michelle Obama, Obama, tea party on October 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
What in the world could get Obama supporters voting this election season? Watching Fox Cable News for one hour. That’s it; I have done it again and gratis I unfortunately add. The word unbeknownst comes up in conversational English rarely but many southerners work with people who “unbeknownst” to their neighbors are being brainwashed by [...]
Vote or We are Toast
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, blue dogs, Congress, democrats, Georgia, Michelle Obama, Obama on September 29, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Grown folks knew what is happening was going to happen when we elected President Obama. They said that the same people who cheered and jumped up and down would be the same people who did vote in the midterm elections. I can see it in the First Lady’s face; a face that looks like mine. She [...]
Election Night: Worst-Case Scenarios
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, austin scott, Blacks, blue dogs, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Jim Marshall, Michelle Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on September 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I was in a discussion this weekend about the worst-case scenarios for election night in November; the situations and outcomes that should have been debated and considered now. Lately, the GOP in Georgia has been taking heat in my community because African American (AA) candidates Dr. Deborah Honeycutt and Melvin Everson couldn’t make it out [...]
Silly Conspiracy Theorists and 2035 President Ms. Obama
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Conservatives, Georgia, Michelle Obama, Obama, Spain on August 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Cliff Claiborne on Cheers and Daymon Wayans’ character on In Living Color were the best conspiracy theorists in T.V. history. Daymon could have a field day on First Lady Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain. “See, my brother..the plan was put in place hundreds of years ago. Ergo, we were brought to the shores in the hulls [...]
Obama or Bill Clinton On The Georgia Campaign Trail
Posted in African Americans, Convention, politics, tagged Bill Clinton, Black college, Congress, democrats, Fisk, Jim Marshall, Macon, Michelle Obama, Obama on June 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In the Fall, Georgia should have a campaign visit from one or more of the Democrat Big Three: President Obama, President Bill Clinton or First Lady Michelle Obama. Where is my ticket or can I get the hook-up. The logical facility for this historic event would be the Macon Coliseum because Georgia is the biggest [...]
Cease Corp and Grand Torino: Michelle Obama and Clint Eastwood
Posted in Conservative, politics, tagged African Americans, Conservatives, Eastwood, gangs, Michael Steele, Michelle Obama, Obama on April 24, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Clint Eastwood’s film Grand Torino got to me last night. Seeing a veteran and retired autoworker single-handedly protect his community from domestic terrorists (thugs and gangs) reminded me of JFK’s question about what can you do for your country. In the last chapter of his life, Mr. Walter Kowalski was teaching negative and positive youth [...]
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: We Are The Problem
Posted in African Americans, Conservative, Georgia, politics, tagged African Americans, blue dogs, Michelle Obama, Newsweek, tea party on March 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas recently wrote that the political system is not the problem; the problem to him is the entitlement mentality and softness of the American people. I have been saying for years that protesters shouldn’t confront elected officials while ignoring the voters who put them in office. The officeholders are doing what the majority [...]
Michelle Obama Should Start A Cease Corps
Posted in African Americans, Conservative, Georgia, tagged African Americans, family, Michelle Obama on December 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Those people waiting for President Obama to make things easier for struggling Americans will be waiting awhile. He did not run on that platform; his message was facilitating a climate in which those who want to strive can do just that. Naturally, others will continue their struggle and wonder why. They keep biting off more [...]
Michelle Obama and Mother’s Day
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged hillary, Michelle Obama, mother's day on May 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For Mother’s Day, some mothers need a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner to make their lives easier and other mothers need an exercise ball to make their lives longer. But, I remember my father saying that Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day were not as important a being nice everyday—that’s the last part of the jazz standard [...]
