Waiting for Obama

If parts of his Philadelphia lecture and some of the racially based volleys being fired over the airwaves, in newsprint and through the Internet by him, his team, pundits and ordinary citizens are any indication, he is already. To blame? His blame-everyone-and-lecture-everyone-else arrogance and his true racial agenda.

Just a few questions, OK?

How do we know the statistics on Obama's March money raising efforts are accurate and trustworthy? It's a bit early in April, isn't it, to confirm that Obama's campaign had 442,000 contributors in March of which 218,000 were 1st time donors?

Shall we believe everything that comes from Internet websites like Politico?

Obama has been in my hometown a few times recently. His TV and Radio Ads are all the same. The Oil Companies are all awash in obscene profits. He is going to get rid of those profits when he becomes President. He will create jobs in alternative energy industries!

We should live so long!

To bad for him that my Pension Fund and the Pension Funds, IRA's and 401K's of most Americans are heavily invested in those nasty, profit-making Oil Companies.

This is a pocketbook issue and we know where THOSE funds are coming from. Don't forget that.

A PRESIDENT OF COLOR? WHY NOT?

Put Clarence Thomas at the top of the list,
Though as a Supreme he'd be sorely missed.

J. C. Watts, whose Faith and experience are strong,
Has no trouble telling Wright from wrong.

We don't need to be harangued about a dark past
When our store of forward thinkers is growing fast.

Ken Blackwell, Michael Steele, Governor Bobby Jindal,
Colin Powell, Condi Rice, their numbers swell.

Closing ranks is what Americans best do.
We're each a part of this multicolored stew.

Most of us can't, like Tiger Woods, be Cabliasian,
But what matters at the end is our ethical persuasion.
