They CALL me MR. TIBBS!

Article: Enough!: Why Obama Should Release His Righteous Rage
I don't necessarily know how I feel about this article. I definitely understand and agree slightly with the point they are making, but this is a little bit overboard. Should I be offended? Not sure. I DO know that I agree with the fact that it's time for Obama to get a little upset. I appreciate his levelheadedness, but if the American People want John Wayne - give them John Wayne (check the pic). If the American People want a mom they can relate to, then Michelle needs to put on some jeans, a headband, and get her ass to WalMart. It's getting down to the wire and I'm getting extremely frustrated with these recent polls.

The first part of the article that really grabbed my attention is here:
"This is clearly part of Obama's lifelong attempt to present a nonthreatening persona, what Shelby Steele has dubbed the "iconic Negro." Think Oprah, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. Now picture them in your mind... they're smiling aren't they?" - What?!

And PLEASE check out this video that they put at the end of the article - A TRIP. I swear they have Sidney Poitier saying "They call me MR. TIBBS!" in the end. Hilarious. I think?

O'Riley Interview (like talking to a brick wall)

Sorry I have no review for the McCain speech - too boring to watch. I'll catch up this weekend. If you watched it, let me know what you thought about it. I'm guessing he talked about being a POW, something about God, and how he loves America. But I could be wrong. Holla back.

Please check this out - Piper Palin, America's new YouTube sensation, Fav Part - "Oh, and another fucking thing about white people: When a black guy gets one, all of a sudden they make a Harvard Law degree something to sneer at? That’s a disqualifier for leadership? Now it’s all about public schools and the PTA?" - Preach!

I assume Obama's eloquence and Ivy League education only add to the opinion that he's an uppity negro...he just can't win with some people... I guess he needs to keep his ass below that glass ceiling, Harvard degree or not. Stay in your place boy!

Obama Respects the Palin Family - They Don't Return Favor

For the record, this man is classier than I, because I would have shut her shit DOWN! (kidding) But in a statement released today Barack Obama said "Let me be as clear as possible. I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor of her potential performance as a vice president." [true statement]

However, the McCain camp was still playing a strong defense. In this CNN article it mentions that "Barack Obama became annoyed when asked about a Reuters news service report that quoted an unnamed senior McCain aide saying that Obama's name appears in liberal blogs speculating about Trig's parentage in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change'." [WHAT]

But as you know Obama answered that question clearly and directly stating that he was offended by that statement and that noone in his camp was involved in the spreading of those rumors. Adding that if they had, they'd be fired.

Thoughts?

Btw, the RNC hasn't even started, but did you hear that Donna Brazile (my homegirl) already got hit with pepper spray? This moral party of "morals" is out of control. This should be an interesting few days. I hope the clan is there.
