Fire in the belly!!!

With his bold declaration that "I deserve another term" President Obam is showing FINALLY, that he has the gumption, indeed, the fire in the belly that it requires to secure another term! The President has worked very hard and, for much of his term, that work has gone unheralded, due to the all out politically motivated effort to unseat him. But ,with that one statement, the President has staked out a position and A question that all America must answer? Does he (the president) Indeed deserve another term? And if no, why not?! Becasue the answer to that question is one that will dictate the future in this nation and the world! The answer that the american public gives in its vote on Nov 6 2012 will dicate the coruse of sociology, economics, foregin relations and more! So I hope that, when answering that question, the american people are prepared to choose wisely and live with the consequences of their choice! Because make no mistake THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!!

It aint over until the Republican concedes!!!(and a word about Susan G Komen)

With the news that, for the 5 straight month, the Jobless rate has declined in America, it can(and should be said) that Obama is succeeding as a president, as are his policies. But, since Obama is president, that will not be the case!!! And no matter the successes, no matter the facts, the truth is that the question, doubt ,and concern of many a American will not be settled until early Nov 2012. Simply put, it wont be over until the republican concedes!!!!! For while the Tea party has flashed in the pan, and while the policies of obstruction have backfired for the most part on the Republicans, they will not quit! They will not go away! They have come to far, and done too much to give up now! Everything, every policy , every action has led to this moment, and to be frank, the lessons of the past are there for us to learn from in regards to this! Al Gore was virtually a sure thing in 2000 , but look how that turned out! So, good news aside, facts aside, logic and reason aside, it must be understood by President Obama and all those who support and have a interest in his success, and that means everyone who isnt rich, or of color in America, that it aint over until the republican concedes on Nov 6 2012!!!! SO I hope that everyone who is concerned in this matter gets down in the trenches and works toward that goal!!! Because make no mistake the republicans will work overtime to "muck it up"!

And as far as the Komen foundation reversing its decision regarding planned parenthood goes, this is one more example of the harm that the class warfare waged by the republican party has done to America and Americans! Divide & conquer, simple stategics employed to perfection with the tool of social intimidation! I am so proud that Americans stepped up in the face of this travesty( and to be frank, you know you couldnt be more wrong when Bloomberg sides against you!!) and saved planned parenthood from being "dixie chicked"!!! Any blow against the mccarthyism of capitol hill republicans is a good blow and I hope it shows that you can  still in America stand up for your beliefs and for what's right !Bravo America!!!

The Politics of class & race( the republican platform)

It is so sad that the main purveyors of class warfare and racism, the republican party, continue to , as they used to say in the old westerns, "speak with forked tongue"!! They steadfastly cite how they are not racist, how they are not inciting class warfare, but they have, for weeks and months now, used the same old coded language,! They have catered to the same old stereotypes and untruths that republicans have for so long been well known and infamous for!"Those people looking for handouts" "Those people on Food stamps" Those BLACK people who have no work ethic" "Black people have no role models" More of the same old same old as it pertains to the republicans, but yet they rail on how they cant make inroads with the African American community. I have a Idea, instead of looking down on black people republicans, how about looking them in the eye?! Instead of looking down on them, how about speaking the truth, instead of pandering and catering to the stereotypical and ignorant views of far too many in your base! Instead of creating and maintaining the "us versus them mentality", How about trying to create a American unity!!!??? Beacuse I think that is a far better path than the continous rabble rousing mantras that have been spouted on the campaign trail by individuals who would profess to lead all americans! News flash fellas, we are all americans!!! Its not America for the white people  and a different one for everyone else! Its not America for the rich, and a different one for everyone else!!! Everyone is talking about America standing tall once again. Well, as long as we continue to try to stand on a political platform that is founded in stereotypes, in racism, that looks down on sets of people we will never stand tall!!! It is the us versus them posture that has created much of the problems in this nation! It has created Urban decay, suburban sprawl, pollution, and the empowerment of the arab states! It has undermined the educational system and created the time bomb that is the correctional system! This  is all a result of the politics of class and race! And it has been and continues to be the republican party that plays that body politic! And its time to say Enough!!! Stop dividing America republicans!!! Because you are only leading to its destruction!!!

Post Florida debate pre primary analysis: MItt's Big MO

In the aftermath of the Last Florida debate & and the Up coming Primary one thing can be said: Mitt Romney has Momentum. While encluntering a major speed bump in his debate performances in So. Carolina and his taxes, he has over come them and is poised to launch himself back into the"inevitable" nominee status. MItt has learned from this experience, he has garnered toughness and the realization that if he wants this run he must fight for it.  SO with the New MO gathered but Florida, Mit could concivedably, by "super" Tuesday wrap this thing up!!! We only have to see the results to verify this!

Round 2 Pre Florida Debate Analysis

And now its round 2 In the Florida republican debates, and tonight we will see if Mitt Romney can land a KO punch on Newt Gingrichs Florida aspirations! Because make no mistake :Mitt has to come out swinging and try somehow to keep the debate focused on the issues of relevance and not how rich he is! That aside Newt, while facing Mitt head on, cannot afford to forget about Rick Aantorum or Ron Paul, who landed a potential killing blow in the last debate that was convienently glossed over by the media, who are protecting their latest cow! Tonight will be make or break in Florida, and it will either restore Mitt Romney to prominence or it will continue to fuel the Media/Gingrich fire! So until tonight folks-----!!!!!

Post Florida debate Analysis

In the Aftermath of the Florida debate it is clear that Newt Gingrich continues to defy the gravity of his past as he remains the front runner in Florida, but sooner or later the laws of Physics and reality will take hold and, like Humpty Dumpty ,Newt will come crashing down! Last evening was simply the first round, and much damage was inflicted upon Newt, and bravo to Mitt Romney for taking off the gloves. But he (Mitt) must realize that it was simply the first round, and that round 2, at thursdays debate he must press Newt Even harder! The facts are clearly there, for indeed the most telling fact of this debate was when Ron Paul pointed out that "it wasnt the way Newt said it was" in regards to his exit from Congress, but it was glossed over by the media in favor of the Non issue of Mitt Romneys tax returns. SO in the aftermath of this debate it must be clear that Newt is ground zero, and everyone, if they intend to remain relevant in this race, must place him in their bombsights! And then, if Newt can somehow survive this and Win Florida, then he may indeed be the republican front runner.

Pre Florida debate analysis & Pre Satate of the Union Analysis

As Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney prepare to rumble in Florida, look for the gloves to come off. Mitt may have "perryed" himself to defeat in South Carolina, but tonight he could make a giant step in florida. look for him to take it to Newt on his record And the many issues therein. Newt will be strong, but look for him to finally get his comemupance when he goes to the media bashing well yet again. It is long past time for him to be called on the carpet for it, and I think Brian Williams may just be the man to do it. Look for Rick santorum to also turn up the heat on Newt as well.

AS far as the State of the Union goes tomorrow night, in what could theoretically be his last state of the Union speech, President Obama will highlight all that he has achieved( and there has been much) as opposed to all that has been prevented by the relentless obstructionist republican/tea party! Look for it to be a speech that focuses on the facts! Wars have ended, the economy has been saved, terrorism has been culled and it has been done under this presidents watch. So look for the State of the Union to be a platform for continuing into the future, as opposed to returning to the past as the republicans have been advocating. Because as the facts clearly prove, America is better off today then it was four years ago, and President Obama can and should take credit for it!
