The fundamentally most important next step, during and after this presidency of Barack Obama, is that all of us who understand the importance of posterity, meticulously and correctly ‚catalogue and document, every truthful detail ourselves. We must not allow the racist enemies of truth to distort it.

People of all stripes, here and around the world have had a front row seat to what racial big­otry looked like in America, dur­ing the last four years and undoubt­ed­ly con­tin­ue to expe­ri­ence it for the new term of our re-elect­ed president.

Republicans did not take over the White House but it was­n’t for want of try­ing. Many argue that a sig­nif­i­cant com­po­nent which con­tributed to Mitt Romney’s defeat was the declin­ing white vote. I nev­er argue with num­bers, in fact I have been mak­ing the very same argu­ments for some time now. I do not how­ev­er believe that the declin­ing white vote is sole­ly , or even large­ly respon­si­ble for Barack Obama’s schel­lack­ing of Romney, not just in the raw vote but a whop­ping 332 – 206 in the Electoral College.

It does­n’t require a Doctoral the­sis to under­stand the following.

Mitt Romney start­ed out by alien­at­ing 47% of the electorate.

Romney was a weak can­di­date, who lacked mes­sage beyond demo­niz­ing Obama.

Racial pol­i­tics are a bad idea in the new America.

Self depor­ta­tion is a bad idea.

Voter sup­pres­sion is a bad idea.

Not stand­ing up to vile racist crea­tures in his par­ty, Romney alien­at­ed too many in the middle.

Betting against the econ­o­my was counter-productive.

That per­fect storm of events may have had sig­nif­i­cant­ly more to do with repub­li­can defeat than the declin­ing white vote.

Republicans can­not stop the pres­i­dent from get­ting a sec­ond term,so the most cer­tain­ly will try to tar­nish his pres­i­den­cy. So they have latched onto the Benghazi inci­dent with reck­less aban­don, and they are deter­mined to make some­thing out of it.

John McCain who had some respect from many in this coun­try has deter­mined to squan­der what small mod­icum of good­will he had in the name of par­ti­san­ship. John McCain who lost the General elec­tion 4 years ago to then Senator Barack Obama has been a pesky yet inef­fec­tu­al thorn in the side of the White House, to many who fol­low pol­i­tics, McCain comes off as a sore los­er, who con­tin­ue to look rather stupid.

Recent attempts at pon­tif­i­cat­ing in the media by John McCain , Lindsay Graham ® SC and Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire has shown that these two sen­a­tors are deter­mined to con­tin­ue flail­ing away at the pres­i­den­cy by attack­ing peo­ple with­in the cab­i­net who they feel can­not defend themselves.

John McCain whom I would bet no one would accuse of being bril­liant, had some choice crit­i­cisms of US Ambassador to the UN Dr. Susan Rice. McCain referred to Ms Rice as Quote “not bright”,

Susan Rice: 

Rice attend­ed Stanford University, where she received a Truman Scholarship, and grad­u­at­ed with a B.A. in his­to­ry in 1986. She was elect­ed to Phi Beta Kappa.^[7][8]

Awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, Rice attend­ed New College, Oxford, where she earned a M.Phil. in 1988 and D.Phil. in 1990. The Chatham House-British International Studies Associationhon­ored her dis­ser­ta­tion titled “Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979 – 1980: Implication for International Peacekeeping” as the UK’s most dis­tin­guished in inter­na­tion­al rela­tions.^[2][9] -Rice’s class­mates and pro­fes­sors at Oxford includ­ed advo­cates of the role of the United Nations and inter­na­tion­al law (Sir Adam Roberts, Benedict Kingsbury),^[10] of glob­al eco­nom­ic gov­er­nance and inter­na­tion­al eco­nom­ic coöper­a­tion (Ngaire Woods, Donald Markwell),^[11] and of a firm stance against Russian author­i­tar­i­an­ism (Michael McFaul).^{[12]wikipedia}

John McCain: Lindsay Graham:

McCain fol­lowed his father and grand­fa­ther, both four-star admi­rals, into the United States Navy, grad­u­at­ing from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval avi­a­tor, fly­ing ground-attack air­craft from air­craft car­ri­ers. During the Vietnam War, he was almost killed in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. In October 1967, while on a bomb­ing mis­sion over Hanoi, he was shot down, seri­ous­ly injured, and cap­tured by the North Vietnamese. He was a pris­on­er of war until 1973. McCain expe­ri­enced episodes of tor­ture, and refused an out-of-sequence ear­ly repa­tri­a­tion offer. His war wounds left him with life­long phys­i­cal lim­i­ta­tions. He retired from the Navy as a cap­tain in 1981 and moved to Arizona, where he entered politics.wikipedia:

What does Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Eric Holder have in com­mon? you be the judge. John McCain Lindsay Graham are noth­ing but cow­ards in attack­ing an emi­nent­ly out­stand­ing African-American woman, who have done noth­ing but offered exem­plary ser­vice to her country.

Both McCain and Graham are colos­sal fraud­u­lent hyp­ocrites, who had no prob­lem with anoth­er Rice, Condoleezza Rice, a Republican, who told the coun­try that Iraq had weapons of mass destruc­tion, in her capac­i­ty then as National Security Adviser to Bush 43^rd. When she was lat­er nom­i­nat­ed for sec­re­tary of state, by which point it had become clear that there were no WMD in Iraq, both McCain and Graham pub­licly defend­ed her appoint­ment despite the misstatements.

Lindsay Graham and John McCain are both pub­lic­i­ty hounds, who fear irrel­e­vance after this mas­sive win by Obama, by all means they will say any­thing to get in the head­lines, there is noth­ing brave or com­mend­able about attack­ing a woman who has done noth­ing wrong. McCain has now squan­dered what lit­tle respect he had left if any.

Black Intelligentsia must now stand up and doc­u­ment our his­to­ry, as American his­to­ry, in the face of this onslaught of racial big­otry. let me say this for empha­sis, Black peo­ple, all of us, must take this, our future into our own hands.

We can ill afford to allow our his­to­ry going for­ward to be detailed cat­a­loged or nar­rat­ed by the very peo­ple who would pre­fer if we did not exist. The time for talk­ing is over, we must stand up and shape our own des­tiny for posterity.

In 2008 Barack Hussein Obama was elect­ed the 44^th President of the United States. This was a momen­tous occa­sion when viewed against the racial tumult which had char­ac­ter­ized the American exis­tence for over two hun­dred years.

The coun­try had evolved through slav­ery, a civ­il war, recon­struc­tion, Jim Crowe, a pro­longed and elon­gat­ed civ­il rights strug­gle which con­tin­ues to this very day and will con­tin­ue into the fore­see­able future.

Many peo­ple thought that Obama’s elec­tion to the nation’s high­est exec­u­tive office ush­ered in a new wave of post racial vibe,

Gone were the days, they thought, when race was not a deter­mi­nant in how peo­ple were judged, but going for­ward all peo­ple would be judged based on the con­tent of their character.

Naïve, ide­al­is­tic, sil­ly ?Maybe but being a lit­tle sil­ly, ide­al­is­tic, or naïve is some­times ok. What many Americans and admir­ers of America, around the world did not bar­gain for was the back­lash from the Republican Right to the elec­tion of the first pres­i­dent that was not a white Anglo-Saxon male.

The Republican Party were ter­ri­fied, white men decid­ed what they saw did not hap­pen, the black fam­i­ly in the White House were not real­ly there, he wasn’t real­ly the president.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, quote; He’s not a real president.

Former Bush 42^nd aide and New Hampshire Governor John Sununu , I wish he would learn how to be a real America.

That mad­den­ing dis­be­lief cre­at­ed a par­al­lel uni­verse for the right-wing with­in the grand out­dat­ed par­ty, the GOP.

The nation saw the rise of the T‑Party, a group dis­guised as a gen­uine grass-roots orga­ni­za­tion, con­cerned about deficits, and tax­es, but when the thin veneer is peeled away was revealed to be a front group fund­ed by filthy rich Industrialists hell-bent on buy­ing this democracy.

We saw a crass and boor­ish brand of dis­re­spect direct­ed at the pres­i­dent of the United States, nev­er before seen in the his­to­ry of this repub­lic, if American his­to­ry is any­thing to go by.

We saw a new­ly mint­ed Supreme Court Justice mouth “not true” while shak­ing his head to a 100 per­cent fac­tu­al state­ment giv­en by the pres­i­dent at a state of the Union address.

We saw an uncouth, uncul­tured, imper­ti­nent con­gress-man from South Carolina yell “you lie” at the pres­i­dent in the very same body.

We saw a big­ot­ed bor­der state Governor wag her scrag­gly grub­by fin­gers in the face of the pres­i­dent on a tar­mac in the show me your paper state of Arizona.

We saw an entire Television net­work ded­i­cat­ed exclu­sive­ly to dis­tort­ing facts and dem­a­goguery of the pres­i­dent. These were just a few, nev­er mind the oth­er low-lives, like that reporter from that right-wing web­site, the dai­ly caller, who inter­rupt­ed the pres­i­dent in the rose gar­den while he was still speak­ing, a 180 degree turn from estab­lished protocol.

Every right-wing troll crawled out from under their rock to attack Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Dick Morris, Carl Rove, Sarah Palin, John Sununu, and every nar­cis­sis­tic delin­quent who had a voice, made their big­ot­ed fears known.

Last night after the pres­i­dent was re-elect­ed, with fright­en­ing accu­ra­cy, FOX news com­men­ta­tor Bill O’riely had a come to Jesus moment, he accept­ed what I have been say­ing for some time now, of course he added some 1950 ‘s relish.

O’Reilly final­ly assert­ed quote: “So white peo­ple are now the minor­i­ty, so Hispanics are going to vote for the pres­i­dent, African-Americans are going to vote for the pres­i­dent, women prob­a­bly are going to vote for him, there are always going to be peo­ple who believe they are enti­tled to things” 

This was a rehash of Romney’s 47 per­cent tirade, look how well that’s served him, I can’t recall ever hear­ing of a Mrs Bill O’Reilly , but if she does exist I won­der how enti­tled she feel right now with such a Neanderthal rel­ic for a spouse?

The dan­ger with the par­al­lel Universe of the Right , caused them to lose sight of real­i­ty, that they did not see the colos­sal defeat star­ing them in the face. For the last 4 years they told them­selves Barack Obama was not the president.

The unem­ploy­ment num­bers were legit­i­mate when they looked bad, they used those to pom­mel the pres­i­dent, as soon as they start­ed turn­ing around, start­ed to look bet­ter, they claimed the Bureau of Labor manip­u­lat­ed the num­bers to help Obama.

Never mind that if the pres­i­dent was going to manip­u­late the unem­ploy­ment num­bers, why not make them 2 per­cent unem­ploy­ment, why not go for broke?

When it seemed that job growth was going to be a con­stant phe­nom­e­non under Obama they went to split­ting hairs, argu­ing all kinds of met­rics which made the unem­ploy­ment num­bers much more that what the month­ly BOL aggre­gate sug­gest­ed. There was nev­er any ques­tion of the num­bers from the right when Bush was bleed­ing jobs at a rate of 400 thou­sand per month.

Every met­ric which favored the pres­i­dent was rub­bished; every indi­ca­tor which showed him in a bad light was can­on­ized. Every mod­er­ate repub­li­can who even showed an inkling of rev­er­ence or def­er­ence to the pres­i­dent was run out of the par­ty, Dick Lugar, Olympia Snowe, Charlie Crist, and of late the cir­cu­lar fir­ing squad around Chris Christie.

The poll num­bers which indi­cat­ed the pres­i­dent was lead­ing by a slim mar­gin of 1 – 2 per­cent­age points were all demo­nized, and every sin­gle poll­ster labeled a tool of the lib­er­al left. The lunatic Right placed them­selves in an echo cham­ber this pre­vent­ed them from hear­ing what the rest of the coun­try was hear­ing, the warn­ing signs were clear, the coun­try was not going to fire the pres­i­dent. Conversely what seemed clear was that their can­di­date’s six-year dou­ble run life­long lust was about to end in a pile of ashes.

I must say the pile of ash­es char­ac­ter­i­za­tion was my own per­son­al wish for Romney, I deserve this lit­tle bit of deca­dence, I wished and hoped and prayed that the results we had would be the result we have.

The retard­ed right, missed the entire­ty of what was hap­pen­ing in the coun­try, they blast­ed the media for report­ing facts and point­ing to dis­tor­tions, they cocooned them­selves into the echo cham­ber of FOX, the media arm that spews the garbage they believe, and right-wing talk-radio, run pret­ty much by trail­er trash red neck igno­ra­mus­es, this pre­vent­ed them from ever breath­ing or assim­i­lat­ing any real facts. They were how­ev­er con­tent to breathe the stale putrid air of right-wing Obama derange­ment, that proved to be their undoing.

Even though defeat was fac­ing them in the face, they had turn-coat, Dick Morris on live tele­vi­sion telling them that from his pro­fes­sion­al analy­sis, Mitt Romney was going to win in a land slide. They had Carl Rove insist­ing that Romney would indeed win, even when defeat was immi­nent, they insist­ed they had data that showed they were ahead.

After oth­er net­works had called the elec­tion for te pres­i­dent, FOX the repub­li­can flat earth, cli­mate change deniers, insist­ed they had data show­ing some­thing no one else was seeing.

When the state of Colorado was called after Ohio was already called for the pres­i­dent, Mitt Romney was not allowed to con­cede, because some­how, delu­sion­al repub­li­cans thought what was hap­pen­ing in front of their own eyes, was not hap­pen­ing , or sim­ply had not hap­pened. At that stage even if Romney was giv­en the state of Ohio and every oth­er state yet unde­clared he would still have fall­en short of the required 270 elec­toral vote he need­ed , which would have made him the 45^th pres­i­dent of the United States.

So we are at the point where ratio­nal peo­ple have to ask them­selves at this point in our his­to­ry, “where will the repub­li­can par­ty go? There are sim­ply not enough old white guys left to win nation­al elec­tions. The Civil war has been over for a while now ‚yet the repub­li­can par­ty seem hell-bent to take the coun­try back, (back, mean­ing tak­ing it away from the black guy). But back also have a deep­er mean­ing, a deep­er back to a peri­od in the 50’s and 60’s when white men ruled everything.

Obama on the oth­er hand, has said sim­ply ” we have come too far and we are not going back” so “Forward”»»»>

On November 6^th 2012, hate was repu­di­at­ed round­ly in America, after the prog­nos­ti­ca­tors were done doing what they do, the elec­torate spoke and spoke it did.

The elec­torate said, “we want Barack Obama to be our pres­i­dent, we will not allow you to take away our right to vote and we will not allow women to be treat­ed as state property.

There seem to be a sense of tone-deaf­ness on the part of many with­in that out­dat­ed par­ty, star­ing with the old cur­mud­geon Mitch McConnell, the sen­a­tor from Kentucky,.

The vot­ers who now make up the major­i­ty of the vot­ing coali­tion Obama has put togeth­er over the last few years, has final­ly exact­ed a back­lash, against the white back­lash, against Obama the black president.

People over money.

Americans sent a strong message today , they will not reward lies, working people in the State of Ohio showed that they would not allow a lying plutocrat to blind their eyes from the truth of a man who has stood with them through thick and thin.

Where is the Waterloo now Jim Demint?

Where is the one term now Mitch McConnell?

The peo­ple have spo­ken, they want Barack Obama to be their President, they have affirmed that they want a divid­ed Government, so Jan Brewer there will be no more point­ing in the face of the pres­i­dent. There will be no more you lie. There will be no more of that non­sense the peo­ple have spoken.

God bless you mis­ter president.

When Mitt Romney los­es the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion tomor­row November 6^th he will have learned a valu­able les­son, I hope. That les­son ought to be :Speak the truth and speak it ever , cost it what it will, he who hides the wrong he did, does the wrong thing still.

A house built of straw will not stand the wind test . A house built on slip­ping sand will not stand up to the tide. A cam­paign built on lies will not stand the test of time.

Governor Mitt Romney prob­a­bly is not a bad per­son in any sig­nif­i­cant way, I pref­ace sig­nif­i­cant because if you are a liar you are indeed a bad per­son, though not nec­es­sar­i­ly incorrigible .

I do not know Governor Romney, I have nev­er met him, what I have researched on him shows a man who has led a priv­i­leged life, a man who evad­ed the draft by going to France as a Mormon Missionary, This was con­ve­nient to Romney then, as it was for most oth­er sons of priv­i­lege dur­ing the Vietnam war era. Poor whites and black got draft­ed into the war effort, the rich and priv­i­leged got mul­ti­ple defer­ments or went abroad .

Neither of those things made the young Romney a bad per­son, Romney’s years at Bain Capital , build­ing a com­pa­ny , and mak­ing his clients and him­self rather rich, did not make Mitt a bad person.

Mitt Romney could have run a cam­paign against Barack Obama on the issues, he chose not to, Romney made a strate­gic deci­sion to wage a cam­paign against Obama based on absolute false­hoods. That makes Mitt Romney a bad person.

On November 6^th, Mitt Romney will, despite all the blus­ter on the right, go down in defeat to the truth. Romney will lose because the 47% will not elect him to dis­re­spect them more. He will lose because Ohioans will not cast their vote for a man who lies to their face , and even when he is called out on it, con­tin­ues to lie in order to influ­ence their vote.

Romney will lose because in the end as Rick Santorum said, Mitt Romney was the worst can­di­date that they could nom­i­nate to go up against Barack Obama.

The fact is that Willard Mitt Romney was a mod­er­ate Republican can­di­date who was Governor of, arguably the most lib­er­al state in the Union. Romney signed Romney-care into law in Massachusetts, it was and still is a good piece of leg­is­la­tion which came out of the Heritage Foundation ‚a right-wing think tank,.

That bit of leg­is­la­tion has served the peo­ple of that state well and they like it. Yet as the Republican Party lurched dan­ger­ous­ly to the right , hijacked by the Tea-Party, a shell move­ment fund­ed by some of the most cyn­i­cal monied inter­est deep with­in the recess­es of this country.

Despite being that mod­er­ate Governor, Mitt Romney, through raw ambi­tion, total­ly and com­pre­hen­sive­ly, rein­vent­ed him­self into a severe con­ser­v­a­tive (sic), Romney did not just recre­ate him­self into a con­ser­v­a­tive can­di­date, every­one have the right to change, Romney ran to the right of the most con­ser­v­a­tive slate of can­di­dates pos­si­bly in the his­to­ry of elec­tions in this country.

That slate of can­di­dates includ­ed Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachman and Rick Santorum, these are some of the most stri­dent and uncom­pro­mis­ing voic­es on the far reach­es of the repub­li­can right. Yet Mitt Romney was able to posi­tion him­self to the right of them.

Immigration

On Immigration Romney said all peo­ple liv­ing here ille­gal­ly should self deport, he argued through an E‑verify sys­tem he would cause undoc­u­ment­ed peo­ple liv­ing here to leave because they would be unable to gain employment.

Romney went on to argue that the dra­con­ian show me your papers law in Arizona ought to be a tem­plate for the nation, he hired the archi­tect of that law as one of his senior advisers.

Romney was not done with immi­grants, he vowed to veto the dream act if he was elect­ed pres­i­dent. That sealed his fate with Latinos.

Women’s rights

On women’ issues Romney a man who claim to love his wife, has not sup­port­ed the Lily Ledbetter Act , the first piece of leg­is­la­tion Barack Obama signed into law.

Mitt Romney a man who claim to love his wife, does not sup­port equal pay for women.

Mitt Romney a man who claim to love his wife , has vowed to put judges on the Supreme Court who will over­turn Roe vs Wade, effec­tive­ly mak­ing women crim­i­nals for hav­ing an abor­tion, even in the case where she is raped or impreg­nat­ed incestiously.

Mitt Romney a man who claim to love his wife, has vowed to defund planned par­ent­hood ‚and orga­ni­za­tion which offers invalu­able health care to needy women , far above and beyond abortion.

Mitt Romney a man who claim to love his wife, declined to stand in defense of a young woman, law school stu­dent Sandra Fluke, when a retard­ed big­ot regaled her with a vit­ri­olic bar­rage of abuse and insults, using the pub­lic air waves to do so, all because she dared to stand up for what she believed.

Mitt Romney a man who claim to love his wife , did not see it nec­es­sary to speak out against can­di­dates for sen­ate and the house who talk about legit­i­mate rape, or those who argue that rape is some­thing God intended.

The rights of all Americans

Mitt Romney has not said a sin­gle word against Republican attempts in state after state to sup­press the vote, or pre­vent peo­ple from vot­ing, sim­ply because he believes it serves his purpose.

How can Mitt Romney be pres­i­dent of the United States when he will not stand up for the rights of the American people?

How can Romney be pres­i­dent of the United States when he sum­mar­i­ly dis­miss­es 47% of the 308 mil­lion peo­ple as moochers who refuse to take respon­si­bil­i­ty for their lives?

How would a pres­i­dent Romney pro­tect the rights of Americans when he sup­ports mod­ern-day Bull O’Connor, wannabe tough guy Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpio, and actu­al­ly sought his endorse­ment. Arpio has sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly vio­lat­ed the rights of immi­grants in the state of Arizona.

Mitt Romney does not sup­port a min­i­mum wage for ordi­nary work­ing peo­ple, he believes that those at the bot­tom should be left to the devis­es of the employ­er to do with them what they chose, if they chose to pay them for their work at all.

I could go on and about the dis­qual­i­fiers of Romney to the pres­i­den­cy, but I will stop here time does not allow me , I am not writ­ing a book , if you still believe that Romney should be pres­i­dent then go out and vote for him. If how­ev­er you are a ratio­nal sane prac­ti­tion­er , go out and re-elect President Barack Obama as the next pres­i­dent of these United States.

And send Romney a strong mes­sage, rel­e­gat­ing him to the dust bin of his­to­ry, make it a mes­sage not just to Mitt Romney , but to Charles and David Koch , Sheldon Adelson and oth­er filthy rich oli­garchs who believe you are dis­pos­able means, towards an end.

Send Romney the lying bas­tard to one of his many palaces, and hope­ful­ly we will nev­er hear the name Romney again.

On the night Barack Obama was being inaugurated 44^th President of the United States a devious and cynical cabal of right-wing Republicans met in secret to formalize a strategy that sought to destroy the presidency of Barack Obama even before it began.

Robert Draper’s much-dis­cussed and heav­i­ly-report­ed new book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives.“According to Draper, the guest list that night (which was just over 15 peo­ple in total) includ­ed Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-law­mak­ers present includ­ed Newt Gingrich, sev­er­al years removed from his pres­i­den­tial cam­paign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican word­smith. Notably absent were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R‑Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R‑Ohio) — who, Draper writes, had an acri­mo­nious rela­tion­ship with Luntz.For sev­er­al hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. estab­lish­ment), the book says they plot­ted out ways to not just win back polit­i­cal pow­er, but to also put the brakes on Obama’s leg­isla­tive plat­form.http://​www​.huff​in​g​ton​post​.com

Now in the clos­ing moments of the Presidential Elections Mitt Romney’s clos­ing argu­ment is that President Obama has not deliv­ered on his promises.

Romney/​Ryan:

So the plan was to gum up the works so bad­ly that Obama would have zero leg­isla­tive accom­plish­ment, win the mid-term elec­tions of 2010 , con­tin­ue and win the White House in 2012. This plan has worked to a fault.

Republicans who worked in the Senate with Vice President Joe Biden for decades, told him “Sorry Joe we can­not help you because of this guy”, this guy being the black guy, the pres­i­dent of the United States.

Mitch McConnell/​Newt Gingrich:

Mitch McConnell and Newt Gingrich we under­stand these two are direct rel­ic of the old South, for them the Civil war is still rag­ing, they believe the South will rise again. Can you imag­ine what it must feel like to be Newt Gingrich or Mitch McConnell? I some­times feel ‚McConnell’s face will sim­ply explode, just look at him, it has got to be hor­ri­ble to have to bot­tle up all of that racial hatred. Can you imag­ine what it must feel like for these to relics to see a black fam­i­ly in the White House?

It’s instruc­tive that they have exe­cut­ed this pol­i­cy ‚then they go out and accuse the pres­i­dent of not being able to work with republicans.

Eric Cantor/​John Boehner

Barack Obama could have rammed through the Affordable Care Act, he had the House and the Senate, he tried to get Republicans to work on the Health Care Bill,they pulled their hands away , they refused even to agree on pro­ce­dur­al mea­sures relat­ing to the Bill as such he passed the Bill with­out them.

The same is true on Immigration, on issue after issue they have run away from posi­tions they pro­posed or sup­port­ed. The stan­dard-bear­er of their par­ty is the archi­tect of the Affordable Care Act, yet if you lis­ten to him you would believe that the Affordable Care Act was incu­bat­ed in the halls of the Kremlin or the Legislative Yuan, and not the ultra right-wing Heritage Foundation.

President Obama worked on a grand bar­gain with Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio, yet at the last-minute Boehner turned his back on what he had just agreed, after he learned that the Tea Party ele­ments with­in his Caucus would not agree to any deal with the president.

That made it painful­ly obvi­ous to every­one that it was not about pol­i­cy it was about race. These ide­o­log­i­cal and racial zealots, would not agree to a 1 – 10 deal which would have seen one part rev­enue for the pres­i­dent and nine part cuts for the Republicans. That means the President was will to work with get­ting 10% of what he want­ed and giv­ing them 90% of what they wanted.

Like Lucy in the Peanuts car­toon they pulled the ball away at the last moment. Even if they had agreed to the grand bar­gain the pres­i­dent would have giv­en in to a con­ser­v­a­tive agen­da, a move which angered a lot with­in the pres­i­den­t’s own base, it was­n’t enough for Republicans , they want­ed no part of any deal with him.

Obama came to office promis­ing to extend a hand to every­one, if they would un clinch their fist , he has done so. The President of the United States of America has done immense good under try­ing cir­cum­stances, in the face of absolute obstruc­tion­ism from those who would have you believe they are patri­ots. What they have revealed them­selves to be are tools of the very rich, all of them.

The tragedy for the rest of the coun­try is the abil­i­ty of Republicans to con­vince so many, to vote against their own self-interest.

What would you do if you were about to, or just lost your home , busi­ness, pos­si­bly your job. What if your coun­try was fight­ing two unfund­ed wars, one a war of choice, the econ­o­my was on the verge of col­lapse, and every­thing about your life the way you have come to know it seemed to be a thing of the past. Then some­one showed up and reversed all of that ‚effec­tive­ly turn­ing all of those neg­a­tives and a pletho­ra of oth­ers into pos­i­tives. Not dra­mat­i­cal­ly but slow­ly and methodically?

Let me put it anoth­er way:

You are dri­ving along the road when your car is blind-sided by a drunk dri­ver, your car is knocked off the road and is dan­gling pre­cip­i­tous­ly on a ledge. The drunk dri­ver who hit you have been dri­ving drunk for a while, he had done con­sid­er­able dam­age as a drunk dri­ver previously,but was nev­er held to account for his actions. However along comes the first respon­ders, they begin the metic­u­lous task of method­i­cal­ly secur­ing your pre­cip­i­tous­ly perched car , with you dan­gling upside down on the inside, they secure your car before begin­ning the ardu­ous task of pulling you back from har­m’s way. They have to be care­ful not to do any­thing rash, which would lead to cat­a­stroph­ic con­se­quences, so they set to work painstak­ing­ly pulling your car up from what for you, oth­er­wise would be sud­den and immi­nent death.

But the drunk-dri­ver saun­ters over and begins a tirade of attack against the first respon­ders who are work­ing to pull you to safe­ty, demand­ing instead that he be giv­en the task of pulling you back from the brink, he runs around in his delu­sion­al drunk­en stu­por , berat­ing the guys pulling you out, for not doing the job quick­ly enough, while tak­ing swigs from the half emp­ty bot­tle of liquor clutched in his bloody grip.

You still do not under­stand ? Well what do you know ‚you are indeed the rea­son this elec­tion is close, you are unin­formed, vul­ner­a­ble and the rea­son Mitt Romney is run­ning neck and neck with the pres­i­dent and poten­tial­ly could win this election.

Many bril­liant and superbly edu­cat­ed peo­ple argue that the American peo­ple are real­ly smart in choos­ing their lead­ers. Disagreeing with them is a lit­tle above my pay grade, but if some elect­ed offi­cials are any­thing to go by, I humbly beg to differ.

I saw a poll of peo­ple liv­ing in oth­er coun­tries and their pref­er­ence for who they would like to see as pres­i­dent of the United States, Barack Obama won by wide mar­gins except in Pakistan. I imag­ine that they are still smart­ing from Obama tak­ing out Osama Bin Laden in their coun­try with­out first con­sult­ing them. Of course I can well imag­ine what the pompous right who believe that the United States is the world would say to that lit­tle unim­por­tant poll, who real­ly cares what the rest of the world think we are the Americans , we are excep­tion­al, no one else matters.

The fact of the mat­ter is that all inhab­i­tants of this plan­et are inter­con­nect­ed, we depend on each oth­er for sur­vival, and whether the pompous blowhards on the right like it or not, the world’s per­cep­tion of the American President is sig­nif­i­cant as it relates to war and peace.

So the American peo­ple must ask them­selves these questions.

Do I believe in vot­er suppression?

Do I believe in Racism?

Do I believe in racist robo calls?

D0 I believe in birthetrism?

Do I believe in a can­di­date who ran a cam­paign based on total lies?

Do I want a can­di­date of Mitt Romney’s cal­iber to be the President of the United States?

Do I want a pres­i­dent who has no val­ue set?

Do I want a pres­i­dent who stands for noth­ing, a pres­i­dent who is unable to stand against the most despi­ca­ble racist dem­a­gogues in his own party?

Do I want a pres­i­dent who aligns him­self with those who train peo­ple to dis­rupt vot­ing under the pre­text of pro­tect­ing the integri­ty of the vote?

Do I want a pres­i­dent whose cam­paign is train­ing 34 Thousand so-called poll watch­ers (Project Orca) with the view to dis­rupt­ing the polls.

I have opined repeat­ed­ly that in all my years on this plan­et I have nev­er seen a can­di­date for pres­i­dent of the cal­iber of Mitt Romney. This guy has zero char­ac­ter , in actu­al­i­ty he is the low­est and the worst can­di­date imag­in­able that could be field­ed for the pres­i­den­cy on behalf of the Republican Party.

Neo-con nut case and for­mer repub­li­can can­di­date for pres­i­dent Rick Santorum, famous­ly stat­ed that Romney was the absolute worst can­di­date their par­ty could put up against Barack Obama. Context is impor­tant but Santorum’s words should be a warn­ing to each and every vot­er who enters a vot­ing booth this elec­tion. Mitt Romney is a rapa­cious plu­to­crat dri­ven by raw greed and ambi­tion, he is moti­vat­ed by mon­ey and is avail­able to the high­est bid­der, in the great scheme of things, this guy is dan­ger­ous and should not be allowed any­where near pres­i­den­tial power.

America which saw itself fac­ing eco­nom­ic col­lapse a mere three years ago, will have a long time to think of the con­se­quence of vot­ing for this mind­less Trojan Horse.

Michael Bloomberg endors­es Obama:

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg who has said that Obama is arro­gant, has now jumped on the Obama band-wag­on throw­ing his sup­port to the pres­i­dent. I’m unsure whether this has any val­ue to the pres­i­dent, who was going to win at least 4 of the 5 bor­oughs of new York City any­way, not sure of Staten Island. Bloomberg obvi­ous­ly see the writ­ing on the wall and now wants to get on board. Ever the tac­ti­cian he sees some ben­e­fit in endors­ing the pres­i­dent at this time , this despite what he writes in the Wall Street Journal, is about Michael Bloomberg rather that about the pres­i­dent or the American people.

Ever the cyn­ic I must ask. ” Was the effu­sive and lav­ish praise Chris Christie bestowed on the pres­i­dent pure­ly from the heart, or has Christie seen the writ­ing on the wall, is Christie look­ing past the November 6^th elec­tion and a sec­ond Obama term to an open field and a pos­si­ble Chris Christie Candidacy, Romney be damned ?

Just ask­ing !

I was real­ly mad at our President about his per­for­mance in the first debate , I felt a lit­tle bet­ter by the time the sec­ond debate rolled around, but I got­ta tell you I am feel­ing mighty good at the way the pres­i­dent con­duct­ed him­self in debate num­ber three.

I opined after the first debate that if President Obama lost the elec­tion of 2012 , he need look no fur­ther than the first debate. Conversely if Mitt Romney los­es the elec­tion he need look no fur­ther than the third debate, In fact Mitt Romney must for­ev­er hate Horses and bay­o­nets. Not sure if he will use the bay­o­net on wife Anne’s show horse.

Mitt Romney obvi­ous­ly does not read the brief­ing papers his staff presents him, in fact if the debates were any­thing to go by Mitt Romney seemed to mem­o­rize a series of sub­jects and talk­ing points in prepa­ra­tion for the debates( we called that cram­ming in school). The prob­lem with that approach is that it leads to prob­lems. Romney seemed in a hur­ry to say every­thing on his mind , seem­ing­ly intent to get rid of every­thing he crammed before he for­gets to say them. The result is some­times a series of inco­her­ent bab­ble that spills from his mouth with tremen­dous alacrity, and to some degree this tends to get Romney in trouble.

So in the third debate we heard buzz-words like Mali, The Navy, Terrorists, a Nuclear Iran. In fact that pret­ty much dom­i­nat­ed the entire­ty of the third debate. Mitt Romney was so intent to argue for more ships that he com­plete­ly neglect­ed to see the poten­tial land-mine he was step­ping onto.

Romney stri­dent­ly argued that he will build a grand total of 16 ships per year, to make up for what he says is the Navy’s lack of numer­i­cal strength. Romney argues that for the first time the Navy has less ships than it did in 1916.

Obama respond­ed: “You men­tion the Navy, for exam­ple, and the fact that we have few­er ships than we did in 1916. Well, gov­er­nor, we also have few­er hors­es and bay­o­nets. We have these things called air­craft car­ri­ers and planes land on them. We have ships that go under­wa­ter, nuclear sub­marines.” He added, “It’s not a game of Battleship where we’re count­ing ships, it’s ‘What are our priorities?’”

That response not only rein­stat­ed Barack Obama as the can­di­date for America, in this time, this moment but it showed Mitt Romney as a super­fi­cial Candidate who crams with talk­ing points but lacks a gen­er­al under­stand­ing of how Government real­ly works. That moment revealed to the world that Mitt Romney was not ready for prime time.

That zinger may have sunk Romney’s bat­tle ship.

Congratulations to you Secretary Powell, for stand­ing for what you believe in, I salute you for stand­ing for prin­ci­ple and ded­i­ca­tion to coun­try. Thank you Colin Powell for endors­ing pres­i­dent Obama for a sec­ond term.

Former chair­man of the Joint Chiefts of Staff, and Secretary of State Colin Powell .

I will not com­ment on John Sununu’s com­ment regard­ing this endors­ment.

I really can’t wait for this election to be over , one way or the other, there is just too much at stake, not just for America but for our planet in this presidential elec​tion​.My first observation today, is regarding a comment made by one of Mitt Romney’s son, I think this moron’s name is Tagg. No I did not mean Mormon, I really meant moron.

Tagg Romney was respond­ing to a ques­tion on a North Carolina Radio Station.

Q : How does it feel to hear the pres­i­dent call your dad dis­hon­est dur­ing Tuesday’s debate.?

A: “Jump out of your seat and you want to rush down to the stage and take a swing at him,” he laugh­ing­ly said, though he quick­ly admit­ted that would­n’t hap­pen, since such remarks are “the nature of the process.” Also, he says, there’s that mat­ter of get­ting through the Secret Service.“They’re gonna try to do every­thing they can do to try to make my dad into some­one he’s not,” con­tin­ued Tagg. “We signed up for it, we’ve got­ta try to kind of sit there and take our punch­es, and then send them right back the oth­er way.“http://​www​.news​er​.com

Every Television and oth­er media out­let has sought to triv­i­al­ize this as noth­ing seri­ous, so let me just focus you for a mere cou­ple of sec­onds. Mitt Romney is pres­i­dent of the United States, Barack Obama is the chal­lenger for the pres­i­den­cy, Barack Obama has a son who was asked the same ques­tion and he responds the same way what do you think would be the reac­tion nationwide?

Perish that thought, change the black Barack Obama son, he would have already been locked up await­ing tri­al for mak­ing ter­ror­ist threats against the pres­i­dent of the United States.

Now replace that son with the two sweet lit­tle Obama girls, Sasha and Malia and there would still be hell to pay, you would not have known that what the fuss was about, was a state­ment from a teenage girl. America will have to ask itself if this is the way it wants itself to be por­trayed across the world. America’s pop­u­la­tion is rough­ly 308 mil­lion peo­ple with a minor­i­ty some esti­mates sug­gest now make up over 50% per­cent of that population.

The fact of the mat­ter is that we live in an ever shrink­ing world, will America con­tin­ue to embrace a path, to which to some degree, it still hangs its head in shame? Mitt Romney/​Paul Ryan and the Republican Party is lit­er­al­ly the most Conservative in many decades. What is America doing, who is being fooled here? The entire 8 years of the last Republican Administration was premised on two pillars.

(1) Spreading Democracy abroad.

(2) Compassionate Conservatism.

Did any of you see any of that hap­pen under Bush? was Dick Cheney a com­pas­sion­ate con­ser­v­a­tive, did they spread democ­ra­cy , or did they cre­ate all kinds of ene­mies for the coun­try? Isn’t it iron­ic that the very same par­ty now wants to be returned to pow­er a mere 4 years lat­er , with war on the front burn­er, and the same eco­nom­ic agen­da? Really how stu­pid do they think you are ? Or are you real­ly stu­pid? After all this race is real­ly close, why is this so in light of the facts?

Why is Mitt Romney afraid to show up on the view to answer ques­tions from a group of sharp-tongued women, but sends his wife , who in turn gets snip­py with Joy Behar when she dared to ask her ques­tions on issues which she has been a vibrant sur­ro­gate for her husband.

Quote: I’m not run­ning for office and I don’t have to say what I feel. But I am pro-life.http://​abc​news​.go​.com

The nerve of these plutocrats:

The Romney fam­i­ly believes in their heart of hearts, spurred on by their filthy rich friends, of the Oligarchy, who make up the one per­cent, that they are enti­tled to the pres­i­den­cy. By their actions, and deeds, they have demon­stra­bly shown, beyond a shad­ow of a doubt, that they feel above being ques­tioned about any­thing, how dare any­one ask Romney about his tax plan? How dare pesky Journalists expect Paul Ryan to both­er to explain his own plan? Never mind that Ryan is the Chairman of the House Budget Committee. Don’t they know it’s Mitt’s time now ?( ala his wife’s comments) 

In fact why would Tagg Romney not feel oblig­ed to defend the hon­or of his patho­log­i­cal­ly lying father? Mitt Romney was overt­ly dis­re­spect­ful­ly to the pres­i­dent dur­ing the two debates, but more so dur­ing the sec­ond debate when he was chal­lenged repeat­ed­ly not just by the pres­i­dent of the United States but by Candy Crowley a respect­ed Journalist. Romney told the pres­i­dent quote “you will get your turn, I’m speak­ing now ” it was­n’t just what he said but the way he said it. “He invad­ed the President’s space , bad­gered and inter­rupt­ed , talked over the pres­i­dent repeat­ed­ly, until the pres­i­dent said quote “well I never”.

It was­n’t until he ven­tured into the Benghazi issue and the President knocked him down to size, and he saw the black side of Obama that he got up rather wob­bly ‚and end­ed up putting his foot fur­ther up his lying mouth and was fact checked by Candy Crowley that the pres­i­dent deliv­ered the coup de grâce .

Like father like son, they are elit­ist who do not believe they should be chal­lenged, they do not respect the pres­i­dent. Like a true bul­ly Mitt Romney is also a cow­ard, he was clear­ly shak­en when the pres­i­dent stepped to him on the Benghazi issue. One thing is assured how­ev­er, nei­ther Mitt Romney nor any of his punk a** sons would ever step to a black man in the streets. They are punks who under­stand that the pres­i­dent can­not and will not go gangs­ta up on their stu­pid ass, so they chose to pon­tif­i­cate. I say to Tagg Romney, be a man , you are what 42 years old? Leave the cocoon of your feath­ered nest and say what you said to that radio host to any black man you meet on the streets, I beg you>

The deaf­en­ing silence in the lame stream media is dis­gust­ing­ly shame­ful, I am ashamed not for them , but for this con­cep called democ­ra­cy. What we are wit­ness­ing in this coun­try , this elec­tion cycle is the most vile, despi­ca­ble and ran­cid dis­play by white men who for the first time in 4 hun­dred years, are wit­ness­ing their ivory tow­ers col­laps­ing around them.

Mitt Romney is on tape telling rich CEO’s to tell ordi­nary Americans in their employ how to vote. This is the most craven, rapa­cious and sor­ry dis­play by a pres­i­den­tial candidate,Romney has revealed him­self ‚through­out this cam­paign cycle to be an immoral ‚despi­ca­ble char­la­tan, who is blind­ed by raw greed and unbri­dled lust­ful ambi­tion. This guy has all of the char­ac­ter­is­tics of a dan­ger­ous ego­ma­ni­a­cal nar­cis­sist. The very exis­tence of our plan­et is at stake if this guy is allowed near the nuclear codes.

The thug­gery that we have seen from this buf­foon Mitt Romney and more recent­ly from his son, are unfor­tu­nate­ly not con­fined to them, the lev­el of dis­re­spect heaped onto this pres­i­dent is par­al­lel only to what Jackie Robinson endured as the first black man to play major league base­ball. Now look at base­ball, American black men don’t even want to play that game any­more, been there done that.

The very foun­da­tion­al prin­ci­ple which these char­la­tans preach that the con­sti­tu­tion espous­es, are the same prin­ci­ples which allowed Barack Obama to become the nation’s first black President, the prin­ci­ples of one man one vote, the prin­ci­ples which says if you work hard and play by the rules you can be any­thing you want to be. They are the same prin­ci­ples they now want to discard.

They are threat­ened, white male dom­i­na­tion is threat­ened and they are afraid of their shad­ows, they hate this pres­i­dent, in him they see what they would like to be but failed even though they have a play­ing field slant­ed in their favor. Mitt Romney is no excep­tion. Barack Obama rep­re­sents to them the begin­ning of the end of white male suprema­cy , not just in America but on plan­et earth, this makes them mad, and like wound­ed ani­mals they can­not con­trol their anger and angst.

What else would influ­ence a recent appointee to the Supreme Court to shake his head and mouth the words“not true” when the pres­i­dent blast­ed the cit­i­zens unit­ed deci­sion by the Supreme Court, as Samuel Alito did?

Samuel Alito Assc. Supreme Court Justice.

What would influ­ence Joe Wilson ‚Republican Congressman from South Carolina , to shout “you lie” as the pres­i­dent deliv­ered the state of the Union address?

Joe Wilson ® South Carolina.

What would cause class­less big­ot, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to point her fin­gers into the face of the President of the United States?

What would cause John Sununu, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump, Ted Nugent, Glen Beck , Sean Hannity and the nev­er-end­ing list of punks, who chal­lenge the pres­i­dent ‚the way they would nev­er dare chal­lenge any oth­er black man anywhere?

You see, there a cer­tain type of black men who make white men look good, it’s not that they like them , they tol­er­ate them, they use them until they have out­lived their use­ful­ness. Ask Colin Powell about his stint in the Bush Administration. Ask Secretary Powell how he felt after they used him to lie to the world about weapons of mass destruc­tion in Iraq, and the lies of mobile chem­i­cal labs. Ask Michael Steele how he felt after they had used him to push their agen­da against the very first black President, ask him what they did to him afterwards.

Ask Clarence Thomas why they love him? I’ll tell you, because he fur­thers their agen­da the way no oth­er black in America can. Given the right cir­cum­stances, they would put him back onto the plan­ta­tion. The black men who say yes mas­sa, to them are quite accept­able, why not? They are neu­tral­ized, they are self hat­ing emas­cu­lat­ed shells, who are hap­py for the white mas­ter to pat them on the head.

The moron­ic igno­rance which per­me­ates cer­tain stra­ta of the repub­li­can base, is not true of Mitt or his son Tagg Romney. Romney is not a fool, he is a shrewd busi­ness­man who under­stands what it takes to get what he wants. Romney’s quest for the pres­i­den­cy is a busi­ness propo­si­tion, it always was, that is the rea­son why as soon as he lost to John Mc Cain he rein­vent­ed him­self and kept run­ning. It’s a busi­ness strat­e­gy. Romney’s quest for the pres­i­den­cy is not bourne out of any deep con­vic­tion or desire to serve, if Romney want­ed to serve he would­n’t have ducked Vietnam and went to France as a mor­mon Missionary.

Romney’s craven desire for the pres­i­den­cy is sole­ly to fur­ther enrich him­self and oth­er plu­to­crats like Sheldon Adelson, David and Charles Koch, The orange haired buf­foon Donald Trump and oth­ers. why do you think all of the once for­got­ten fat cat bil­lion­aire has start­ed creep­ing out of the wood-work to sup­port Romney? Even the incon­se­quen­tial Ross Perot is now back out from obvlion to sup­port their favourite son Mitt Romney. Is it because Obama is a European Socialist as they say he is? Or is it because they feel threat­ened by this one black guy, who in some ways have shown a sliv­er of dis­dain to their mantra of “we did build that”

Don’t be fooled by Romney’s reluc­tance to tell you about his secret plan for America, it’s not a ruse, he does­n’t have one. he will wreck this econ­o­my, only worse than what Bush did, he will start world war 3 and cre­ate a mis­ery index the likes of which have nev­er been seen before.

I’ll con­clude this blog by point­ing to some­thing I learned as I was writ­ing this blog, that is that mis­ter big-shot Tagg Romney just fathered twins through a sur­ro­gate moth­er, on the doc­u­men­ta­tion is a clause which allows the moth­er who car­ried those kids, the right to have an abor­tion in the event her life is threat­ened. So the pow­er­ful oli­garchy at the cen­ter of which sits the Romneys ‚believe the rights and priv­i­leges that they have should not be extend­ed to you.

Tonight in Long Island New York on the Campus of Hofstra University the world saw the second of three debates between the presidential candidates for the American presidency.

At stake was the direc­tion the free world will take for the next 4 years, like all well think­ing peo­ple who do not have their heads up their A** I was spit­ting mad at President Obama for what I thought was a lack-lus­ter first debate per­for­mance in Denver Colorado. True to form as we have been taught there is no pain time can­not heal, as the days have pro­gressed, I am still pissed at the pres­i­dent for his per­for­mance, but I am no longer mad at him because he did bad­ly in terms of his tone. I am mad at him because he allowed snake-oil sales­man Mitt Romney to con­tin­ue on the path of patho­log­i­cal men­dac­i­ty. The polls have tight­ened marked­ly and sig­nif­i­cant­ly since that debate, many believe those peo­ple who broke for Romney were inde­pen­dents who were some­how con­vinced that all of a sud­den Mitt Romney is a cred­i­ble alter­na­tive to Barack Obama. I dis­agree with the con­ven­tion­al wis­dom and the talk­ing-heads. Those were white repub­li­cans look­ing to Romney to stand up to the black guy, put him in his place, bloody his nose, if you will. But I am curi­ous to know this, why is this elec­tion close? There is nev­er a men­tion by Republicans as to what caused the great Recession in the first place, one would think that it fell out of the sky! The fact of the mat­ter is that it was trick­le down eco­nom­ics. It nev­er worked and it nev­er will.

So again I ask why is this elec­tion close? Obama took over an econ­o­my that was hem­or­rhag­ing 4 hun­dred thou­sand jobs each month even before the pres­i­dent took office. No one ful­ly under­stood the sever­i­ty of the sit­u­a­tion until Obama got into office and the full extent of the dam­age was assessed. Bush passed a stim­u­lus plan before his sec­ond term expired , President Obama also request­ed mon­ey for a sec­ond stim­u­lus, that was passed. Republicans had no choice but to sup­port the sec­ond stim­u­lus, they had just sup­port­ed the pre­vi­ous one request­ed by Bush. Even as the sec­ond stim­u­lus was being passed Republicans were bet­ting and plot­ting against the pres­i­den­cy of Barack Obama.

Throughout the first term of Obama Tea Party affil­i­at­ed Republicans in the House and Senate have used Obstructionist tac­tics to stymie and derail the President’s Agenda​.In the Senate there have been record num­bers of fil­i­busters , requir­ing 60 votes on the most mun­dane Bills . This was a direct affront to the vot­ers who had cho­sen this pres­i­dent and par­ty to lead after 8 years of trick­le down eco­nom­ics. An unfet­tered Wall Street Banking sys­tem that was with­out reg­u­la­tions. Record Government spend­ing. Unfunded wars. America’s image in tat­ters. Torture and eco­nom­ic collapse.

The Republican par­ty’s behav­ior has been as atro­cious as Romney behav­ior, in con­tin­u­ing to run for pres­i­dent, even before the new pres­i­dent was even sworn into office. What Romney and his Republican cronies said by their actions, was that they did not respect the will of the American elec­torate. Since Obama took Office there has been a sig­nif­i­cant mul­ti-pronged approach toward legit­imiza­tion the new pres­i­dent. It took the form of Racial Caricatures, The birther move­ment, aimed at cast­ing doubt on his right and legit­i­ma­cy to be pres­i­dent. A uni­fied front aimed at oppos­ing every­thing the pres­i­dent pro­pos­es, even when they sup­port­ed those ideas to begin with, even when the ideas come out of the Ultra Right Wing Heritage foun­da­tion. They have also used Voter sup­pres­sion. The purg­ing of vot­ers lists. Voter intimidation,and oth­er unde­mo­c­ra­t­ic tactics.

TONIGHT IN LONG ISLAND, BARACK OBAMA KICKED A**

Objective peo­ple who sup­port Obama either with vote, mon­ey, orga­niz­ing , oth­er meth­ods, or all of the afore­men­tioned, loved the Barack Obama who put the patho­log­i­cal liar, Mitt Romney in his place. Personally I would have liked for him to be even more aggres­sive with Romney, I per­son­al­ly would have phys­i­cal­ly pushed Romney out of my space, but then again that is among the rea­sons I am not President of the United States and he is. The sole black per­son allowed to ask the first black pres­i­dent a ques­tion said he vot­ed for Obama , but want­ed to know why the pres­i­dent deserved his vote this time around, great ques­tion , I thought.

This gave the President a chance to rat­tle off some of his achieve­ments but more impor­tant­ly, it gave him the oppor­tu­ni­ty to focus the elec­torate on just how grave the eco­nom­ic sit­u­a­tion was when he was giv­en the reins. The pres­i­dent won hands down, as usu­al Romney was dis­gust­ing­ly abra­sive and arro­gant, talk­ing over the mod­er­a­tor , but more impor­tant­ly inter­rupt­ing the President of the United States. The President , by then was in full stride, and he used Romney’s crass­ness to remind vot­ers of the dis­re­spect that has been met­ed out to him by many in the Rethuglican[sic] Party. Quote “Candy, I am used to being inter­rupt­ed”. This was a thin­ly veiled ref­er­ence to some of the more recent inci­dents of dis­re­spect , when a local punk in the employ of a right wink web­site called the  Daily Caller, inter­rupt­ed the President when he was still deliv­er­ing com­ments in a Rose gar­den address. Of course the Country remem­bers well, the infa­mous and dis­gust­ing “you lie” intem­per­ate out­burst from Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, while the President was still deliv­er­ing the State of the Union Address.

Mitt Romney steam­rolled his oppo­nents dur­ing the Republican Primary process, not just with mon­ey advan­tage, but by using the very same tac­tics, talk­ing over them , inter­rupt­ing them, offer­ing $10,000 bets, chal­leng­ing them to look at their retire­ment port­fo­lios and a slew of oth­er thug-like tac­tics, that may have played well with the unin­formed back-woods FOX crowd, but I doubt that ulti­mate­ly that kind of boor­ish behav­ior will play pos­i­tive­ly with oth­er people.

In the end President Obama clear­ly sep­a­rat­ed the man from the boy, not that there was any ques­tion in my mind that Mitt Romney was an oppor­tunis­tic light­weight , who ran for Governor of Massachusetts for one term, sole­ly to pad his Resume, because he want­ed to run for pres­i­dent. Mitt Romney and his fam­i­ly believes they have a right to the pres­i­den­cy. Remember his wife’s com­ments” It’s our turn now, it’s Mitt’s turn”?.http://​www​.youtube​.com/​w​a​t​c​h​?​v​=​9​U​M​_​a​u​t​A​G8s. Mitt Romney is a very qual­i­fied Harvard edu­cat­ed cor­po­rate raider , http://​www​.the​free​d​ic​tionary​.com/​c​o​r​p​o​r​a​t​e​+​r​a​i​der. He was very suc­cess­ful at what he did, and it shows he made a lot of mon­ey , he should be very proud of that, if of course mon­ey is the barom­e­ter which deter­mines suc­cess. Mitt Romney clear­ly does not have an under­stand­ing of the way ordi­nary peo­ple live and strug­gle to sur­vive. On this issue his largest neg­a­tive is his fail­ure to under­stand that the bless­ings he inher­it­ed, which have con­tin­ued into his life up to this point, are not the sto­ry of most peo­ple. As a result he is very dis­mis­sive and unem­phat­ic of peo­ple not in his finan­cial class.

That to my mind is a dis-qual­i­fi­er and on that basis Mitt Romney should not be elect­ed President of the United States of America.

THE MOST RECENT NBC/WALL-STREET JOURNAL POLL REVEALED THAT 91% OF PEOPLE POLLED STATED THAT THEY MADE THEIR MINDS UP BEFORE THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

Wait , wait , wait just a minute there ‚.….so you mean to tell me that all of the tens of millions of dollars both presidential candidates spent on TV Ads, and other expenses were actually wasted.

How could that be? All the talking-heads do is sit in Television studios and talk about nothing but Independent Voters day in day out. So Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio you mean they are just States desperate for attention that they claim they are independents just to get saturated and inundated with TV advertising and candidate visits?

I’ll get back to that.!!

Here’s the thing, I love politics, I hate politicians ! Why ? Because they lie, I hate liars, so there.

This recent revelation has confirmed what I have believed for a long time and I have said so in these blogs , there is no such thing as an independent voter. Every person have their leaning, they may not be very enthused about a particular candidate or party and may need to hear the candidate from the other party. Or they may be totally clueless, or oblivious to the facts.

Let’s examine what’s happening in America as we speak .

REPUBLICAN PARTY: DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Are against a wom­an’s right to choose.….….….….…Supports a wom­an’s right to make her own decision.

Are against civ­il rights.….….….….….….….….….……Fights dai­ly for the civ­il rights of all Americans.

Are against immi­grants rights.….….….….….….….…Is the par­ty of the dream Act Republicans are against.

Are against ordi­nary peo­ple hav­ing health-care.….Passes the afford­able care Act(Obama care).

Are against the state help­ing the poor.….….….……Supports help­ing Americans get­ting help so the may con­tin­ue with their lives.

Are against Gay rights.….….….….….….….….….….…Supports mar­riage equality.

Are con­stant­ly for wars.….….….….….….….….….…..Believe in peace through strength and respect for all nations.

Believes only cer­tain peo­ple should vote.….….……Believes all Americans should be allowed to vote.

Believes in waste­ful spend­ing on the military.….…..Believes in a strong, lean military.

Believes in giv­ing tax cuts to the rich only.….….…..Believes in tax cuts for all Americans.

There are a litany of other contrasting characteristics for Americans to look at, how can any American voter claim to not know the issues? How can anyone claim to be unable to make up their mind ? How can any American claim to be undecided?

If you are a rich mindless oligarch of course you vote for the Republican Party.

If you are someone else then the choice is clear, the other party must be your choice.

Many years ago a company, I worked for participated in a job fair , we had a kiosk which I was asked to man , I was the face of my company. The fair was well attended, I was blown away at the amount of people who attended, but I was even more amazed at the journey many of the people traveled ‚older people who weren’t looking for jobs, they were just there out of curiosity,they were there just to enjoy the fair.

I brought this up because I want to relate to the need some people have for attention., just to be a part of something. This is similar to the people who live in certain states who claim they are undecided, to them I say bull, you just want people to pay attention to you, you know who you will vote for, stop with the lies.

What the hell is wrong with Barack Obama? Does he think the ass kicking he took from Mitt Romney last week was a laughing matter?

Here’s a clue mister President, no one thinks it’s funny, except maybe you. The fact of the matter mister President is that the performance you turned in was rather pathetic.

Many of the people who support you have a right to be concerned, obviously even though you are the person at the top of this thing you fail to seriously grasp that there is much more at stake than your interest.

As The Reverend Al Sharpton said quote” this election is not about Barack Obama, it’s about your mama”.

The truth is you and your family are set for life but there are other people who seriously depend on you winning this election for many reasons.

Who gets appointed to the supreme court.

Who gets health-care.

A woman’s right to choose.

Who gets to vote.

War and peace.

College tuition.

And a host of other issues, now mister president I am not about to tell you how to run your campaign , in fact you have run a series of winning campaigns, so suffer it that I tell you how to run this one.

But what the hell are you doing running big bird Ads at this stage of the campaign?

No one thinks it’s funny or germane to the seriousness of the issues confronting the country, factually it makes your campaign look downright unprepared to continue to lead.

The explanation you gave for that shocking debate performance on the Tom Joyner radio show was even more curious, you wanted to be polite?

There is nothing wrong with being polite, there is nothing wrong with being tired, there is nothing wrong with being unprepared.

But here’s a bit of news mister president , you need to put your big boy pants on, these losers are playing for keeps,they have no scruples, there is nothing beneath them , you need to get down in the mud, good guys finish last.

No matter how tired, I am, no matter how polite I want to be , no matter how unprepared I am, if Romney came at me like he came at you, you can bet your sweet life I am fighting like hell, all the tiredness is gone, all the mister nice guy is gone , and you bet I would remember that he was lying, and you damn right I would have the facts to confront his lies.

And guess what mister president ? I am not the president.

I am so turned off hearing you on the campaign trail talking about big bird. Mister President did you hear how Bill Clinton explain stuff at the convention? Oh one more thing Sir, did you hear what Mister Clinton had to say at his last campaign appearance for you? You really need to stop with the foolish tired old lines and explain to people what you stand for this is no joke.

Thank you.

PATHOLOGICALLY MENDACIOUS:

I am just total­ly and com­pre­hen­sive­ly stunned and mor­ti­fied at the ease and alacrity with which the Republican Candidate for President, Mitt Romney lies out­right and straight-faced.

Here’s is what Romney said regard­ing the Palestinian issue.

http://​www​.bbc​.co​.uk/​n​e​w​s​/​w​o​r​l​d​-​u​s​-​c​a​n​a​d​a​-​1​9​6​3​7​631

“You hope for some degree of sta­bil­i­ty, but you rec­og­nize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem.and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ulti­mate­ly, some­how, some­thing will hap­pen and resolve it,” Romney said.http://​cam​paign​trail​re​port​.com/​2​0​1​2​/​0​9​/​1​8​/​m​o​r​e​-​o​u​t​r​a​g​e​o​u​s​l​y​-​o​u​t​r​a​g​e​o​u​s​-​q​u​o​t​e​s​-​f​r​o​m​-​c​a​n​d​i​d​-​r​o​m​n​e​y​-​v​i​deo

Here’s what Mitt Romney said on Monday October 8^th on the very same subject.

I will recom­mit America to the goal of a demo­c­ra­t­ic, pros­per­ous Palestinian state liv­ing side by side in peace and secu­ri­ty with the Jewish state of Israel. On this vital issue, the pres­i­dent has failed, and what should be a nego­ti­a­tion process has devolved into a series of heat­ed dis­putes at the United Nations. In this old con­flict, as in every chal­lenge we face in the Middle East, only a new pres­i­dent will bring the chance to begin anew.”

On Defense cuts:

I will roll back President Obama’s deep and arbi­trary cuts to our nation­al defense that would dev­as­tate our military.”

Here’s the truth:

Defense cuts do not belong to Obama alone but also to con­gres­sion­al Republicans, includ­ing his vice pres­i­den­tial run­ning mate, Rep. Paul Ryan. The first round of cuts in pro­ject­ed defense spend­ing is the result of a bipar­ti­san deal in August 2011 between Congress and the White House to wres­tle down the deficit. Unless a new bud­get deal is reached in time, addi­tion­al spend­ing cuts will begin in January across gov­ern­ment, and the cost to the Pentagon would be $500 bil­lion over a decade. Lawmakers are work­ing to avoid that. Separately, Obama wants to slow the growth of mil­i­tary spend­ing, now that the war in Iraq is end­ed and the war in Afghanistan is draw­ing to a close. The Pentagon’s bud­get, includ­ing war costs, is $670 bil­lion this year, or about 18 per­cent of total fed­er­al spend­ing. Even set­ting aside the costs of the wars, mil­i­tary spend­ing has more than dou­bled since 2001.(mprnews)

On Trade, Romney said:

The pres­i­dent has not signed one new free trade agree­ment in the past four years.”

The Truth:

Obama com­plet­ed some big ones, over­com­ing oppo­si­tion from fel­low Democrats to do so. After tak­ing office, he revived a free-trade deal with Colombia that had been nego­ti­at­ed by his Republican pre­de­ces­sor but left to lan­guish with­out con­gres­sion­al approval and sought sim­i­lar progress with South Korean and Panamanian free-trade pacts. The pres­i­dent delayed sub­mit­ting the three deals to Congress while he tried to pla­cate Democrats who opposed some of the terms, but final­ly sub­mit­ted them in 2011, and Congress approved them.

On issue after issue not only has this guy tak­en mul­ti­ple posi­tions, depend­ing on what’s con­ve­nient at a giv­en time , he has unashamed lied with a straight face. Republicans are on tele­vi­sion extolling the virtues of Mitt Romney, they paint him as an upright fam­i­ly man who gives gen­er­ous­ly to his church.

The hypocrisy of these plat­i­tudes, is the obvi­ous fact that nei­ther Romney nor his pro­tag­o­nists under­stand that lying is a sin. Lying is a despi­ca­ble affront to God, he charges in his holy com­mand­ments not to bear false wit­ness, yet Romney lies like we’ve nev­er seen a pres­i­den­tial can­di­date in our life­time. I do con­fess that lies are one of my great­est pet peeves, as a child my grand par­ents told me Quote: “He who hides the wrong he did, does the wrong thing still” That quote helped to shape my life, it cre­at­ed in me a dis­dain not just for for the act of lying (the verb) but for the per­son who lies, (the noun).

Trust is an inte­gral part of the human char­ac­ter, it is one of the best barom­e­ter of a per­son­’s worth or depend­abil­i­ty, it tells us deep down how we may relate to that indi­vid­ual. Mitt Romney has demon­strat­ed time and again that his words mean nothing.

It is shock­ing when some­one like Newt Gingrich can cred­i­bly and irrefutable indict Romney’s cred­i­bil­i­ty. Throughout the Republican pri­maries Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry repeat­ed­ly blast­ed Romney for lack of char­ac­ter, and accused him of will­ing to say and do any­thing to get elected.

Objective observers to this elec­tion cycle will read­i­ly attest to the fact that Romney has shown zero char­ac­ter as it relates to the most vile racial ele­ments with­in his par­ty. He has shown that he will also say any­thing he deems nec­es­sary to any­one who will sup­port him. He has repeat­ed­ly said that he need 50% plus one to win the elec­tion so that make it impos­si­ble to rep­ri­mand any­one, irre­spec­tive of how vile that sup­port­er is.

The hypocrisy of Romney is that every­where he goes he yells to whomev­er will lis­ten , (froth­ing at the mouth), that the pres­i­dent is respon­si­ble for every­thing that hap­pens in his admin­is­tra­tion, prob­a­bly cor­rect­ly so. but when he is required to assume lead­er­ship for those with­in his par­ty and their rep­re­hen­si­ble and despi­ca­ble behav­ior, Romney claims he can­not be respon­si­ble for the actions of everyone.

This is a fun­da­men­tal and impor­tant char­ac­ter flaw in a man who wants to be pres­i­dent. A pres­i­dent of the United States must have char­ac­ter, not just for their sup­port­ers, but to rep­re­sent America at home and also abroad.

World lead­ers are not impressed with Romney, they have no idea what he stands for, not just on the lies he speaks, but on his utter­ances to the Palestinians, the Spaniards, the Chinese, the Russians, Muslims, Cubans, Venezuelans, and most oth­er peo­ple not white Anglo-Saxons.

This is not just a ques­tion of char­ac­ter or lack there­of, this is a dan­ger­ous pos­ture, eeri­ly rem­i­nis­cent of the pos­ture adopt­ed by the war­mon­ger­ing neo-cons who made up the Bush Administration, who forced out more sane play­ers like Colin Powell.

The most shock­ing thing about the Romney pres­i­den­tial run is that it is exact­ly a return to the Bush/​Chaney years. The only dif­fer­ence is that it will be worse, if any­one in their right mind believe that the Administration which almost wrecked America will restore pros­per­i­ty to their lives, they are dead wrong.

Romney has made no bones about what he wants to do with America, build up the Military,(not take care of vet­er­ans) Building his 15 new naval ves­sels each year, they will explode the deficit and fur­ther fat­ten the fat-cats who are in the mil­i­tary indus­tri­al complex.

His sign­ing on to the uncon­scionable Paul Ryan Budget should be warn­ing enough that those who are not rich. well tough luck.

Romney’s bel­li­cose war­mon­ger­ing and unequiv­o­cal sup­port for Israel and it’s equal­ly bel­liger­ent war-mon­ger Prime Minister , Benjamin Netanyahu should be a wake up call to all play­ers on this plan­et who care about world peace. This guy ‚who nev­er served a day in the Military, and did not let even one of his 5 sons, do a sin­gle day of mil­i­tary ser­vice, is hell-bent on start­ing world war 3.

It is same of all the oth­ers, From Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Carl Rove, Richard Perle ‚Don Señor, Paul Wolfowitz,or any of the neo-cons who are buried deep with­in the recess­es of the Beltway Republican lex­i­con, they are mighty tough as long as they do not have to fight the war.

Is this what America wants? Pundits and prog­nos­ti­ca­tors argue that America is war-weary, not look­ing for anoth­er con­flict , if this is true why is this pres­i­den­tial race close?

Is half of America’s hatred for the black race so strong that it is will­ing to destroy America by entrust­ing it to a total emp­ty suit ? Any emp­ty suit who may have acquired two advanced degree from one of America’s most pres­ti­gious schools, but has shown that oth­er than the for­mal school­ing, he is lit­tle more than well.….…. an emp­ty suit.

Barack Obama had his A** handed to him last night, by a slick used car salesman. Mitt Romney once again reinvented himself as a center-left moderate, a complete 180 degree turn from the severe conservative he said he was before.

I watched the debate in stunned silence,as Barack Obama stood there and allowed The lying bas­tard to lie time and again with­out chal­leng­ing him. Mitt Romney and his han­dlers knew what they had to do and they did it.

It was no sur­prise that before the last words were uttered in the debates , the rabid right ultra par­ti­san hate mon­gers were out sali­vat­ing at what they saw as total dom­i­na­tion by their can­di­date the snake oil salesman.

Leading the charge was the Rabbit tooth race-bait­ing Rudolph Giuliani and the twist­ed mouth George Pataki, inter­est­ing­ly enough , both New York Republicans who man­aged to be elect­ed to office in that State despite total dis­dain and hate for black people.

But this is not about these two morons, this is about Obama and his colos­sal debate flop, there are no cov­er­ing this up Barack Obama seemed like a total wuss, period.

Barack Obama 

Mitt Romney

I have had the occa­sion pre­vi­ous­ly, to state clear­ly, if Barack Obama does not want to be pres­i­dent any­more he should say so. That per­son who showed up did not seem to want to be pres­i­dent of the United States.

Liberal com­men­ta­tors Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz blast­ed Obama for not show­ing up pre­pared to debate. At best Obama seemed chas­tened, unprepared,and even unsure what facial expres­sion to wear.

Obama seemed clear­ly care­ful, overt­ly care­ful, not to project the image of the angry black man. News flash to Barack Obama, there is not a sin­gle American who do not already know you are a black man, and guess what they know you do not like Mitt Romney. What the hell was up with you act­ing all friend­ly with Romney?

Here’s a clue to Obama try look­ing at the Powell doc­trine, if it’s a fair fight do not engage, if you have to go to war take all your weapons use them , kick ass and go home.

Barack Obama went into the first debate with a can­di­date that was los­ing, Mitt Romney had no momen­tum , his cam­paign lacked cohe­sion or focus. The pri­ma­ry thing that could be said for Romney’s cam­paign was that they were throw­ing s*** at the wall hop­ing that some­thing would stick.

All Obama had to do was to put his foot on the neck of this patho­log­i­cal liar Mitt Romney and win the pres­i­den­tial race, he failed and he failed dis­mal­ly. If Barack Obama los­es this race he need look no fur­ther than the first debate.

If Obama is wor­ried about not look­ing like the angry black man at this stage of the game, then he has no idea what the hell is hap­pen­ing out in the coun­try. Anyone who would cast Obama as such, Democrat, Republican, or so-called Independent, were not going to vote for Obama anyway.

And by the way if there is any­one in this coun­try who has a moral right to be angry it is the black man.

For all intents and pur­pos­es, the pres­i­den­tial race was sup­posed to be con­clud­ed last night, Obama pro­longed it he failed to stomp Romney into a pulp, this rabid dog will come back to bite Obama in the ass.

(1) On the ques­tion of the 716 Billion Dollars that Romney alleges the pres­i­dent strips from Medicare, Obama failed to chal­lenge Romney on it, Romney’s run­ning mate Paul Ryan’s bud­get does the exact same thing, the same bud­get Romney said he would sign into law.

(2) On the ques­tion of rais­ing tax­es on the mid­dle class Obama allowed Romney to lie that he would not give the rich­est Americas a 5 Trillion dol­lar tax cut , on top of 2 addi­tion­al Trillion to the Military which the Pentagon does not want, that is 7 Trillion Dollars Romney said he would pay for with clos­ing loop­holes. Of course he will not say what loop­holes he would close, except to tell Moderator Jim Lehrer he would cut fund­ing to pub­lic tele­vi­sion, essen­tial­ly Romney only had strength for Big Bird.

I could go on and on about how Obama let the snake oil sales­man off the hook but I must also ref­er­ence John Sununu in these blogs again.

John Sununu

This mag­got called the pres­i­dent of the United States lazy on MSNBC Thursday with Andrea Mitchell. It is not the first time this deranged Mongrel referred to the President of the United States in that deroga­to­ry way. It is one thing to dis­agree with some­one, it is quite anoth­er thing to use racial lan­guage to describe him.

John Sununu has con­tin­ued to show him­self as a despi­ca­ble gut­ter rat that ought not be tak­en seri­ous­ly,. Andrea Mitchell called him out on it and rather than back away he dou­bled down , cit­ing the President’s words when he jok­ing­ly said quote: “They are mak­ing me do my home work”, the pres­i­dent made the com­ment after he deliv­ered Piazza to his staff at one of his cam­paign offices in Colorado.

Within the group of slime balls out there , angry at a black man in the White House this degen­er­ate Sununu has exem­pli­fied him­self as among the worse.

But back to Obama he did not men­tion Romney’s 47% comment.

He did not men­tion Romney and repub­li­cans war on women.

He did not bring up Romney and repub­li­can’s war on immi­grants, and self-deportation.

He did not bring up that Romney said he was severe­ly con­ser­v­a­tive, even though Romney is on record say­ing he was not a Reaganite, but an Independent.

He did not bring up any of the mul­ti­plic­i­ty of posi­tions Romney has tak­en on every issue over the years , or over the course of this campaign.

He did not men­tion Bain Capital.

He did not men­tion Romney’s off­shore accounts.

He did not men­tion Romney s lies on his China Policy.

He did not men­tion Romney’s war mon­ger saber-rat­tling, toward Iran.

I will stop here I’m real­ly too angry at this performance.

When the smoke of the general elections cleared in Jamaica and the winning party named their humongous cabinet, I said then it would be a tragedy​.It was a tragedy because clearly the winning PNP was unprepared to govern, it was tired, out of ideas and had not had enough time to understand, define or develop a strategy which would have enabled it to have a fighting chance at governing effectively.

Almost a year lat­er the Jamaican peo­ple are being made painful­ly aware of the con­se­quences of their actions, (not cri­tiquing their choice) . People vote for who they feel best rep­re­sent their inter­est, some­times, most times the desired results are not forth­com­ing after the din of elec­tions are over.

Politicians under­stand they have to do and say what it takes to get elect­ed, I get that, it is a tough busi­ness which requires grit and deter­mi­na­tion, with much at stake. Jamaica’s elec­torates like most oth­er are start­ing to wake up from the morn­ing of a real­ly bad first date.

I will not be pre­sump­tu­ous to sug­gest that the Jamaican peo­ple are unin­formed, or that they do not know what they want. I also do not know the exact rea­son they threw out the Jamaica Labor Party after just one term, and replaced them with the par­ty which had been in office for 18 ¹⁄₂ years, a tenure which did not turn out so well.

Well now the real­ly bad blind date is over, it’s the day after, the stark real­i­ty of how bad that date was, is now evident.

Crime is at an astro­nom­i­cal high, women and babies are being raped, peo­ple are increas­ing­ly ter­ri­fied of leav­ing their homes, chil­dren are trau­ma­tized afraid to even go to school. No one is spared the crip­pling effects of the ram­pant wave of unchecked crim­i­nal­i­ty sweep­ing over the country.

Police Officers are slaugh­tered along with the ter­ri­fied cit­i­zen­ry, no one has answers for the coun­try’s blood thirsty killers who roam unfet­tered , unafraid to threat­en entire Police Precincts with annihilation.

These are not emp­ty threats , they have the means and the will to car­ry out their threats , demon­stra­bly so.

PROOF BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THEY HAVE BOTH MEANS AND WILL.

Police sta­tions burned, vehi­cles torched, heavy weapon­ry confiscated .

The fun­da­men­tal issue with Jamaica, as I have said time and time again, is that the polit­i­cal lead­er­ship, of arguably both polit­i­cal par­ties ‚do not under­stand the detri­men­tal effect crime has on the country.

Since the People’s National Party is in Government at this time, it falls on them to get a grip talk to the Jamaican Diaspora. I do not mean the lame bour­geois from uptown Kingston, who now reside in Florida, but real Jamaicans who reside in New York State and oth­er large Metropolises.

These Jamaicans will relate to any­one who will lis­ten, how desirous they are of return­ing to the land of their birth, to invest, to par­tic­i­pate, to vol­un­teer. The num­ber one prob­lem most will argue is not hav­ing access to good hos­pi­tals, fan­cy stores, good roads to dri­ve on, none of the crea­ture com­forts they have grown accus­tomed to over decades of liv­ing in the devel­oped world.

Their pri­ma­ry con­cern , is that they are high­ly like­ly to be butchered in their own homes for a few measly bucks.

The gov­ern­ment has zero clue or desire, nei­ther does it have a plan which will return our coun­try to a path of prosperity.

At the zenith of the polit­i­cal food-chain is a Prime Minister, seem­ing­ly inca­pable of under­stand­ing what is required, on the sec­ond tier there are Ministers and Parliamentarians who dou­ble as tri­al lawyers.

This is clear­ly a con­flict of inter­est, yet they are allowed to con­tin­ue to rep­re­sent mur­der­ous crim­i­nals in court then head over to the House of Parliament to leg­is­late. The fact is that these tri­al lawyers have a vest­ed inter­est in crim­i­nal­i­ty, they feel insu­lat­ed from crime, they get paid from crime,.

They are not about to leg­is­late for harsh sen­tences for dan­ger­ous felons.

Rather than out­rage, it seem Jamaicans are numb to the effects of crime, they recoil into sur­vival mode, hop­ing the next vic­tim will be their neigh­bor, not them. Others sim­ply join the criminality.

We are get­ting to crit­i­cal mass here.

Intellectually savvy people never thought Newt Gingrich was a decent human being, every time he opens his mouth he shows that he is a vile despicable maggot .

Just a cou­ple of days ago this vile over­weight despi­ca­ble loath­some pig said on FOX News to Greta Van Susteren that the President of the United States was not a real President.http://​the​hill​.com/​v​i​d​e​o​/​c​a​m​p​a​i​g​n​/​2​5​8​6​8​9​-​g​i​n​g​r​i​c​h​-​o​b​a​m​a​-​n​o​t​-​a​-​r​e​a​l​-​p​r​e​s​i​d​ent.

Newt Gingrich John Sununu

Donald Trump

Gingrich fan­cies him­self as a Historian, he imag­ines him­self as some­one who shaped America in a mean­ing­ful way, every chance Gingrich gets he talks about him­self in those terms.

As if the loath­some racial assault he lev­eled at the pres­i­dent was not enough the fat hog went on to say the fol­low­ing on FOX Tuesday.

Obama is a “false pres­i­dent,” a “part-time pres­i­dent,” and…wait for it…a “lazy” president.

This fits snug­ly into the nice racist lit­tle nar­ra­tive the three Mongrels pic­tured above have been per­pet­u­at­ing for the last 4 years.

“He real­ly is like the [NFL] sub­sti­tute ref­er­ees in the sense that he’s not a real pres­i­dent. He doesn’t do any­thing that pres­i­dents do, he doesn’t wor­ry about any of the things the pres­i­dents do,” Gingrich said. “But he has the White House. He has enor­mous pow­er. And he’ll go down in his­to­ry as the pres­i­dent, and I sus­pect that he’s pret­ty con­temp­tu­ous of the rest of us.”

“Hillary Clinton is a seri­ous per­son. Barack Obama is an ambi­tious per­son. They’re very dif­fer­ent per­son­al­i­ties. Hillary Clinton gets up every day think­ing about pub­lic pol­i­cy. Barack Obama gets up every­day think­ing about Barack Obama. They’re very dif­fer­ent approach­es to life. And I think those of us who are his crit­ics need to get over it and under­stand this is who is pres­i­dent. This is a man who in the age of false-celebri­ty hood is sort of the per­fect pres­i­dent because he is a false pres­i­dent. He is a guy who doesn’t do the president’s job.”

The prob­lem with these intel­lec­tu­al retards is that all of the oth­er Mongrels through­out this country“s his­to­ry did not get judged favor­ably by rel­e­vant peo­ple, they are foot-notes in history.

For an Egomaniac like Gingrich who is bloat­ed with his own sense of self-impor­tance, it is vital­ly impor­tant for him in his mind that he be viewed as sig­nif­i­cant even posthumously.

News flash to Gingrich etal, you will be mere men­tions of infamy.

When intel­li­gent peo­ple ref­er­ence his­to­ry Gingrich will be recalled as a ser­i­al Adulterer.

He will be recalled as a hyp­ocrite who worked tire­less­ly to impeach President Clinton for an ill-advised fling with an intern, while he him­self was involved in illic­it Adulterous affairs at the same time.

Gingrich will be recalled as a Fraud who got run out of Congress on mul­ti­ple ethics charges.

The oth­er two incon­se­quen­tial morons are unwor­thy of fur­ther evaluation.

Mitt Romney believes he can ride to victory, grabbing the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from Barack and Michelle Obama on the singular issue of a perceived bad economy.

Of course Romney felt that would be a viable strat­e­gy, why not? The Pundits all argue that no pres­i­dent may be re-elect­ed with unem­ploy­ment above 7%. The much maligned Obama-Care had seen Tea-Party Fanatics sweep­ing to pow­er, wrest­ing con­trol of the House of Representatives from Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats.

Democrats of course not been go ‑get­ters, sat on their ass­es and did noth­ing, zilch, nada. Republicans went around the coun­try blast­ing the pres­i­dent for what they dis­parag­ing­ly dubbed Obama-care. Every Republican did the same as they do on every issue, they dom­i­nat­ed the air­waves with talk­ing points,“Obama-care is big Government take over of the best health care sys­tem in the world’.

Democrats did noth­ing to not only push back on the good of the pres­i­den­t’s health care ini­tia­tive, they ran as hell from it. Not only did they allow Republicans to shape the nar­ra­tive on what is a good piece of leg­is­la­tion, Democrats allowed it to be so maligned it cost them the House of Representatives.

The truth is, a vast chunk of the American pop­u­la­tion had no health care in the so-called best sys­tem in the world. Even with the por­tion of Obama-Care which has been imple­ment­ed thus far, pre­vent­ing Insurance Companies from refus­ing to insure Americans with pre-exist­ing con­di­tions, there are yet mil­lions of Americans who still have no Health Insurance.

What the sin­gu­lar strat­e­gy of Romney entailed was that he myopi­cal­ly bet­ted that the American econ­o­my would not show any sig­nif­i­cant signs of improve­ment and on that note Barack Obama will be boot­ed from office. There are oth­er strat­a­gems at play demo­nize Obama to the pub­lic, sup­press the Black and Latino vote and he will be guar­an­teed a vic­to­ry come November 6^th.

I have no evi­dence that Mister Romney has a hand in vot­er sup­pres­sion, not yet any­way, but it seem rather clear that Republican Legislatures in many states around the coun­try seem to have a sin­gu­lar focus, to ensure that as small amount of elec­tors as pos­si­ble, show up to vote on elec­tion day. It seem also from the vot­ing rules put in place lim­it­ing vot­ing days, lim­it­ing vot­ing on the Sunday just before elec­tions, and most of all, the rigid ID require­ments, if left to stand as designed , clear­ly wants to keep Black peo­ple from the vot­ing booths on elec­tion day.

The argu­ments in sup­port of the new vot­ing laws are con­vo­lut­ed and is impos­si­ble to artic­u­late, by the archi­tects, their sup­port­ers, or even their lawyers court, as was evi­denced in the Pennsylvania high court. The con­fes­sion by the Republican Legislative Leader that vot­er ID law was designed to hand the State to Mitt Romney ‚ought to end this con­ver­sa­tion, and every law so designed should be seen for what they are, a back door repeal of the Voting Rights Act.

Romney has shown no lead­er­ship on pre­sent­ing to the elec­torate, a cohe­sive ‚detailed plan which dif­fers from that of the President. Instead he tells vot­ers to elect him even as he lies about the President’s record and words. If Romney expect­ed to attract the mea­ger sliv­er of so-called swing vot­ers , he set aside from the lazy enti­tled moochers he blast­ed at that pri­vate affair in Florida, he cer­tain­ly must do more than just say “elect me and I will do the oppo­site of what he does”.

When it became appar­ent after the Ryan pick and the less than expect­ed Convention that strat­e­gy was not enough Romney decid­ed to cri­tique the pres­i­den­t’s every word, look­ing for ” ha ha gotcha moments” that will be the game chang­er. First , he antic­i­pat­ed that the Right’s sus­pi­cion of him would be alle­vi­at­ed by his pick of Ryan, well the right may have been some­what appeased but, was it the base that Romney need­ed to shore up , or was he try­ing to grab those per­suad­ables in the middle?

Since Romney had lit­er­al­ly writ­ten off the 47%, whom he stat­ed cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly will nev­er come around to his way of think­ing, you know the lazy peo­ple who believe Government must pro­vide for them, then the mid­dle by my esti­ma­tion, would prob­a­bly be just 3% . If the oth­er 50% are Republicans, just some arith­metic, Clinton style.

The prob­lem with Mitt Romney’s strat­e­gy on Ryan is that Paul Ryan is nei­ther brave, fis­cal­ly con­ser­v­a­tive, nor a deficit hawk. Ryan vot­ed for every big gov­ern­ment pro­gram of the Bush Administration, Ryan begged for Stimulus mon­ey, even as he lam­bast­ed the Administration for admin­is­ter­ing the stim­u­lus. What that makes Paul Ryan are none of the above, but a hyp­ocrite and a fraud.

Once the National spot­light was shone on Paul Ryan, it became clear that this guy was noth­ing more than a Trojan Horse, with appeal only to the far right, a male Sarah Palin if you will, only a lit­tle smarter. Ryan’s much maligned Convention speech, and a litany of oth­er lies on the stump, quick­ly removed the thin veneer of lus­ter from Ryan, who looked to many like a shiny Golden Orb, but was quick­ly revealed to be clay with spray paint.

As we have come to expect, the etch a‑sketch can­di­date revert­ed to a more rabid attack dog strat­e­gy against the President of the United States. The trou­ble with that strat­e­gy is that it means attack­ing quick­ly, which opens him up to going on the attack with­out all the facts, or in the case of the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stephens , none of the facts.

Romney actions thus far this cam­paign, has been a dis­joint­ed oppor­tunis­tic lurch from one ill-advised strat­e­gy to anoth­er, one which rivals John McCain’s sus­pen­sion of his cam­paign dur­ing the eco­nom­ic melt­down of 2008. As I write this col­umn Mitt Romney has employed a strat­e­gy which seem to be to sit with a note pad lis­ten­ing to the pres­i­den­t’s every word then take a small seg­ment out of con­text to demagogue.

This lat­est ploy by Romney and Ryan smacks of a des­per­ate child­ish not ready for prime time oper­a­tion. The Romney Campaign solid­i­fied that impres­sion by releas­ing a sum­ma­ry of his tax returns (not the actu­al returns), yes­ter­day Friday September 21^st. This trans­par­ent doc­u­ment dump, on a Friday evening , designed to stop the bleed­ing from his Boca Raton diss of the 47 %, has done noth­ing to stop the bleed­ing, but have opened up anoth­er artery bleed­ing the lifeblood from this lunatic cam­paign. November 6^th will be a wel­come respite for Mitt Romney,it can­not come soon enough.

Once again Mitt Romney and his cam­paign oper­a­tives have decid­ed that the American pub­lic are total fools. Romney has donat­ed a sig­nif­i­cant amount of mon­ey which gives the appear­ance that he has paid a tax rate of 14 % , what he has­n’t done is to claim back all of those deduc­tions, which gives Mitt Romney the option to file for an adjust­ment at a lat­er date, which will see him then retriev­ing the bal­ance of those donations.

It is cer­tain­ly not ille­gal, but it is a cyn­i­cal , dis­gust­ing­ly insult­ing manip­u­la­tion of a sys­tem which is already rigged toward the very rich.

It is a peek into what a Romney Ryan Administration would look like, it is Nixonian in style,secret, cal­cu­lat­ing, dis­hon­est, disin­gen­u­ous, cyn­i­cal and duplicitous.

Americans have a stark choice on November 6^th, they will have to decide whether they will once again vote against their own self-inter­est as they did in 2010. They elect­ed a Republican Congress which will go down in his­to­ry as prob­a­bly the least pro­duc­tive in the his­to­ry of this coun­try. True to form they abdi­cat­ed their respon­si­bil­i­ties and went to their respec­tive dis­tricts with­out pass­ing the Farm Bill, they did not address the issue of the Post Office, They did not want to give the pres­i­dent a leg­isla­tive win,.

That is the infan­tile nature of the Republican Party in America.

If orga­ni­za­tion, stage-craft, ener­gy and effects were votes, pres­i­dent Obama would have been assured a sec­ond term.

We were treat­ed to a busi­ness meet­ing in Tampa, where it seemed the work­ers were forced to turn out to hear the boss talk about him­self. Delegates it seemed would all rather be some-place else. The gloom-and-doom fest was appro­pri­ate­ly summed up by their school-yard bul­ly of a keynote speak­er, Chris Christie, who lament­ed the lack of enthu­si­asm in their con­ven­tion. The Democrats by con­trast, showed repub­li­cans what diver­si­ty was, they showed them what America real­ly looked like. Democrats did not need to place indige­nous peo­ple in the front of the Arena to cre­ate a false impres­sion of diver­si­ty, the Democratic Party is diver­si­ty, it is America.

There was no hatred direct­ed at Romney or Ryan, Democrats cri­tiqued Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan and they lam­pooned them for their fail­ings, lies and flip-flops, no one hates Mitt Romney, no one hates Paul Ryan, even though They have proven them­selves to be patho­log­i­cal liars. Republicans on the oth­er hand were most­ly there because of their hatred for Barack Obama. From the Chairman of their Party who refus­es to acknowl­edge that President Obama is the pres­i­dent, to the new leader of the Party Mitt Romney, who con­tin­ues to run despi­ca­ble racist, lying wel­fare Ads against the pres­i­dent, they have lit­tle to talk about except about how bad Obama is, which of course they have told them­selves untill now they believe it.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are bet­ting on one thing only, that a slug­gish econ­o­my will pro­pel them into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.The choice for vot­ers could not be clear­er, and the stakes could not be high­er. Not always do we get the oppor­tu­ni­ty to see train wreck before it hap­pens. In 2010 vot­ers reward­ed the Republican Party with sweep­ing vic­to­ries in the United States House of Representatives, tak­ing the gav­el from Nancy Pelosi and hand­ed it to John Boehner. Some argued that appro­pri­ate­ly so, as Democrats had argued amongst them­selves instead of pass­ing the agen­da the vot­ers sent them to enact.

There is a lot of legit­i­ma­cy to that argu­ment, how­ev­er I am not sure that many who vot­ed against the Democrats were all Republicans, some were Independents and some were Democrats. But did the vot­ers real­ly know what they were get­ting into, did they under­stand that behind what appeared to be a legit­i­mate grass-root move­ment were sin­is­ter big angry mon­ey at play? Did they tru­ly appre­ci­ate the mag­ni­tude of their vote when they elect­ed a fresh­man class of far right-wing zealots that would take the Republican Party so far to the right Ronald Reagan would not be wel­come in it.

WHAT IS THE REASON , AND WHAT IS THE VISION MITT ROMNEY HAS FOR WANTING TO LEAD AMERICA?

Question :What does Romney want for America oth­er than his desire to be president?

Mitt Romney has no stat­ed goal or ambi­tion to lift the morale of the coun­try, beyond his and his wife’s claim that it’s their time now.

Question: What is Romney’s plan for the troops in Afghanistan?

Since Romney did not men­tion them at the repub­li­can con­ven­tion, (unheard of before) we are forced to con­clude that he has no clue what he should say,as the neo-cons have not yet devel­oped a strat­e­gy that is any dif­fer­ent from Obama’s so Romney remained silent. Take into account that Romney has noth­ing to say for his can­di­da­cy, oth­er than cri­tique what pres­i­dent Obama does.

Question: What is Romney’s plan for our del­i­cate eco sys­tem and our environment?

If we are to believe Mitt Romney, quote: President Obama says he wants to slow the rise of the oceans, and heal the world , I want to help you and your fam­i­ly>(to laugh­ter), clear­ly he does­n’t under­stand the pow­er of the pres­i­den­cy nei­ther does he under­stand the dan­gers of cli­mate change. Either way we are screwed because Romney will do noth­ing. What we do know, is that Romney once embraced Global Warming as some­thing humans have con­tributed to.

Romney can­not now embrace glob­al warm­ing, cli­mate change or the stew­ard­ship of our del­i­cate planet,big mon­ey cor­po­rate oil indus­tri­al barons will not allow it.

Question: What is Romney’s for­eign policy?

Mitt Romney has no for­eign pol­i­cy strat­e­gy ‚except what the neo-cons on the right fringe wants. That pol­i­cy in a nut­shell is anoth­er war of choice, this time with Iran. They have already start­ed the drum-beat toward that end. What’s wor­thy of note, is that they have not shown them­selves yet of course, with the excep­tion of Don Señor, the likes of John Bolton, for­mer US ambas­sador to the United Nation under Bush, and the oth­er war mon­gers have pret­ty much stayed in the shad­ows , wait­ing to see how the elec­tions turn out. Make no mis­take about it they are primed and ready, this time for a war of choice with Iran, under the guise that Iran is about to set off a mush­room cloud.

According to Romney, Russia is America’s great­est geo-polit­i­cal foe. Conversely, accord­ing to for­mer Secretary of State Madeline Albright ‚when asked whether this was so , she said ‚quote: “Romney is still liv­ing in the 20^th cen­tu­ry”,either Mitt Romney is still liv­ing in the 20^th cen­tu­ry or he is wil­ful­ly stir­ring up trou­ble at the insis­tence of the neo-cons, as part of a larg­er strat­e­gy to fight a proxy war with Iran.

Question: What is Romney’s strat­e­gy to deal with the poor and dispossessed?

Well, we are all aware of mis­ter Romney’s state­ment of not being wor­ried about the poor,I will not accuse him of what the democ­rats did in those AD’s, I do not believe he was say­ing he did­n’t care about the poor. With that said, what he actu­al­ly meant was even worse.

What Romney said was quote:“I’m not wor­ried about the poor,they have a safe­ty net if it’s bro­ken I will fix it”

Coming from a pres­i­den­tial can­di­date, that is an even more atro­cious state­ment, than the con­text in which the democ­rats attempt­ed to cast it. The repub­li­can can­di­date for pres­i­dent sim­ply con­firmed to the world that he was com­fort­able with peo­ple being poor and depen­dent, and has affirmed that he would do what it took to keep them in their state of pover­ty, not cre­ate ways to lift them into the mid­dle class.

Question: What is Romney’s strat­e­gy for the economy?

As the pres­i­dent said tax cuts for the wealthy, stick it to every­one else ! As for­mer Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm said at the con­ven­tion, if it was up to Mitt Romney he would give the cars to his rich friends and give the shaft to the people.

It is shock­ing the way repub­li­cans hold vot­ers in con­tempt, old relics like Newt Gingrich who allud­ed to the fact that Mitt Romney is a patho­log­i­cal liar dur­ing the pri­maries, now nev­er miss­es an oppor­tu­ni­ty to pros­ti­tute him­self polit­i­cal­ly, for the same per­son he acknowl­edges is a sor­ry liar.

Racial poloriz­er Newt Gingrich is the pro­to­type of exact­ly whats wrong with America. Gingrich was one of the archi­tects of that infa­mous meet­ing which took place in Washington DC , that his­toric night Barack Obama was being sworn as a America’s 44 th President. At that meet­ing which includ­ed Gingrich and Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor, repub­li­cans were not dis­cussing how to help the new pres­i­dent save the cra­ter­ing US econ­o­my. They were trea­so­nous in plot­ting how to thwart the will of the American vot­ers who had just unan­i­mous­ly elect­ed the pres­i­dent of their choice and they were doing it as a way back to polit­i­cal power.

Gingrich like Romney/​Ryan have sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly tried to dri­ve a wedge between pres­i­dent Obama and for­mer pres­i­dent Clinton, they have gone to great lengths to paint Clinton as the real demo­c­rat and Obama as the wild-eyed lib­er­al Klingon[sic].

Gingrich said Sunday September 9^th on CNN in a con­ver­sa­tion with Candy Crowley, quote on one hand you have a real pres­i­dent, (ref­er­enc­ing Clinton,) and on the oth­er you have anoth­er guy who is a pretender”.

Obviously this old washed up tub of lard did not spend his time judi­cious­ly lis­ten­ing to the pres­i­den­t’s speech,or he cer­tain­ly would have heard the pres­i­dent say “I am the President” he may have missed that part on one of his many trips to the refrigerator.

Crowley did not rebut, of course this was not sur­pris­ing to me , the lame stream media is pop­u­lat­ed large­ly with repub­li­can oper­a­tives parad­ing as real jour­nal­ists, many secret­ly have spous­es work­ing with­in the repub­li­can estab­lish­ment as well as the Romney Campaign.

People with short mem­o­ry will for­get that it was Gingrich who shut down the coun­try twice because Clinton did not let him ride in the front of Air Force One , or some child­ish incon­se­quen­tial thing like that. They would have for­got­ten that it was Gingrich who impeached Clinton, it was Gingrich who cre­at­ed Ken Starr the dogged repub­li­can oper­a­tive who parad­ed as a spe­cial pros­e­cu­tor wast­ing tens of mil­lions of tax pay­ers dol­lars but pro­duced noth­ing to show for it.

They would have for­got­ten that it was Gingrich and his repub­li­can cronies who did not sup­port a sin­gle part of Clinton’s agen­da, except wel­fare, which they lat­er dis­cov­ered was large­ly being exploit­ed and abused by whites, not blacks as they had pre­vi­ous­ly conned some low infor­ma­tion con­stituents into believing.

Republicans did not mince words when they told Obama’s vice pres­i­dent Joe Biden, that they would not help with gov­ern­ing, they were not going to coöper­ate, even with Joe Biden who had been in the Senate for decades, they were pre­pared to take Joe Biden down in their hatred for Barack Obama. Never mind that Obama had not yet imple­ment­ed a sin­gle policy.

It was race.

How hyp­o­crit­i­cal of these lying degen­er­ates, to now sug­gest that Barack Obama has not tried to work with them, when their stat­ed goal was for him to fail, we have it as part of his­tor­i­cal record from their inspi­ra­tional and intel­lec­tu­al leader Rush Limbaugh, we have it as a mat­ter of record from their leader in the Senate. Many Liberals desert­ed Obama because they felt he was mak­ing too many over­tures to republicans.

Republicans ran away from pol­i­cy posi­tions they embraced, poli­cies they pro­posed, poli­cies which came out of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, sim­ply because Obama adopt­ed those poli­cies. Mitt Romney now runs away from Romney-care, the blue-print for Obama ‑care, sim­ply because Obama embraced it.

So what we have is a mov­ing of the goal-post, a con­tin­u­ous slap­ping away of the hand, as Deval Patrick said “Democrats must now stand up for what they believe in”, they must now stand up and push back hard against this misog­y­nis­tic wave of right-wing reac­tionary garbage, and show what this pres­i­dent and this par­ty has done for this coun­try, cow­er­ing in fear no more, as these unpa­tri­ot­ic spe­cial inter­est tools wrap them­selves in the American Flag ‚while at the same time wish­ing for the coun­try’s demise, as a way back to polit­i­cal power.

What pious baloney com­ing from the mouth of Mitt Romney,” I wish pres­i­dent Obama had suc­ceed­ed” I have news for you Mitt Romney, the pres­i­dent have suc­ceed­ed, despite your friends and sur­ro­gates rabid obstructionism.

Ask your­selves this ques­tion, “what was the basis for this bel­li­cose posi­tion toward the new pres­i­dent who had not yet insti­tut­ed a sin­gle policy”?

I’ll tell you what the basis was,“RACE”.

Republicans want you to believe the world start­ed the day Barack Obama took the oath of office, they take every oppor­tu­ni­ty to point out what they want you to believe is wrong with the coun­try, the econ­o­my, and the Obama Administration.

Absent their argu­ments, are any acknowl­edge­ments that it was under their watch ‚just four years ago, that this coun­try’s econ­o­my was destroyed, the econ­o­my cratered and kept falling even as the new pres­i­dent was being sworn into office, today the econ­o­my has been sta­bi­lized, over four mil­lion new jobs have been cre­at­ed over the last 4 years under Obama.

As Bill Clinton allud­ed, repub­li­cans want to tell you the pres­i­dent have not fixed the mess they cre­at­ed fast enough, so you should fire him and put them back in charge.

Just how stu­pid do they think you are?

You decide !

Lies, racial coding, and dirty tricks, like voter suppression are nothing new to the American Political system. Like any other place on earth the United States is not exempt from crooked, unscrupulous people, as such as Republican Politicians run around throwing around the term American Exceptional-ism they may be reminded that their own party is as we speak mounting a concerted battle to keep certain categories of people from voting, how exceptional is that?One would have thought that with virtually all fact checkers panning Paul Ryan’s speech as littered with lies , exaggerations and coded racial language, Mitt Romney at the top of the Republican ticket would exert some degree of leadership, and if he cannot control Ryan, at least ensure that his utterances are unimpeachable.

Paul Ryan

During the 2008 cam­paign which saw Barack Obama elect­ed pres­i­dent of the United States, John McCain ran an hon­or­able cam­paign, one many believe to be the real char­ac­ter of the man him­self. John McCain is cer­tain­ly not per­fect we have seen how dis­as­trous his first exec­u­tive deci­sion was , in select­ing Sarah Palin to be his run­ning mate, but I’ll get back to that. Steve Schmidt is now a MSNBC con­trib­u­tor , Steve ran John McCain’s cam­paign, it is fair to say that mis­ter McCain is an hon­or­able man if we are able to infer any­thing from the way Steve Schmidt has con­duct­ed him­self. Contrarily we have seen the bel­li­cose rhetoric in Republicans as their par­ty lurch­es dan­ger­ous­ly to the right , so much so that many peo­ple from cer­tain seg­ments of the soci­ety con­clude they are unwel­come in that par­ty. Gays, Women, Blacks, Latinos, and the list con­tin­ues to grow as the repub­li­can par­ty purges itself of all except white men , and in some regards they don’t want cer­tain white men ‚unless they are rad­i­cal lunatics.

Where did this nastiness come from ?

Democrats were angry when the Supreme Courts stopped the count and hand­ed the elec­tions of 2000 to George Bush, despite sig­nif­i­cant evi­dence that Al Gore had won the elec­tions. Yet they got behind the new pres­i­dent who to this day they still believe assumed the pres­i­den­cy ille­git­i­mate­ly. such is the pow­er of fam­i­ly and influ­ence when your broth­er is the Governor of the State where the foul-up occurred, and the state which would decide the pres­i­den­cy that year. Bush went on to win a sec­ond term four years lat­er, after two wars launched by Bush, one a war of choice, an econ­o­my bleed­ing 4 mil­lion jobs the last year of his pres­i­den­cy and in tat­ters, the coun­try’s image abroad in ruins,the Constitution shred­ded with laws like the Patriot Act. Pariah sta­tus for the United States as a result of tor­ture, ren­der­ing pris­on­ers of war to vile rogue states so they are tor­tured. The out­ing of CIA Operative Valerie Plame, as polit­i­cal pay-back for her hus­band Joe Wilson’s prin­ci­pled stance against the Bush Administration’s lies on their march to an ille­gal war with Iran.Despite all of these acts some of them out­right crim­i­nal, Democrats went along with Bush out of fear of being called unpatriotic.

Remember “Either you are with us or you are against us”? What short mem­o­ries some of us have ! The events of September 11^th set off a chain of events that have changed the United States for­ev­er, and most of it is for the worse, many Democratic law-mak­ers went along with Bush Administration impeach­able actions out of fear of being labeled unpa­tri­ot­ic, as well as want­i­ng to share in Bush’s brava­do. Not only were Bush’s actions impeach­able , we all saw a Democratic President impeached for hav­ing oral sex with an intern but Democrats went along hook,line and sinker.

Paul Ryan the so-called Deficit Hawk and the Tea Party did not yet grow talons or beak, so the Tea Party and Ryan went along with every spend­ing excess of the Bush Administration. I under­stand that with­out Talons and Beaks the young upstart Paul Ryan could not have been much of a preda­tor under the Bush Administration. He damn sure acquired them rapid­ly after Obama took over the dis­as­ter, both he and the reac­tionary frauds called the Tea Party

Mitt Romney

The nas­ti­ness we see in the last cam­paign was intro­duced unwit­ting­ly or per­haps cal­lous­ly cyn­i­cal by John McCain in the form of Sarah Palin.

What Palin lacked in intel­lect, or com­mon sense she cer­tain­ly over-com­pen­sat­ed with vit­ri­olic, racial nas­ti­ness, this woman who could not name a sin­gle pub­li­ca­tion she had ever read to Kathie Couric , cer­tain­ly knew how to hate and fan racial hatred, to this day I see noth­ing endear­ing or redemp­tive in this woman except that she was cre­at­ed by the same God who cre­at­ed all of us.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin is from the Tea Party, so is a lot of the Obstructionists in the United States Congress, and soon guys like Texas’ Ted Cruz will be sit­ting in the United States Senate, these are peo­ple who do not want Government even while they jock­ey for posi­tions with­in said Government.

Sarah Palin brought nas­ti­ness to the cam­paign that we had nev­er seen in our life­time, she came to nation­al atten­tion throw­ing around terms like “palling around with ter­ror­ists” Jeremiah Wright, Rezko, she also fur­ther threw around the non­sen­si­cal birther crap , it was then that intel­li­gent peo­ple came to the real­iza­tion that John McCain had made a ter­ri­ble mis­take in select­ing this woman to be his run­ning-mate. It became clear then, that the so-called mam­ma griz­zly, the Pitt-bull in lip­stick was noth­ing more than arguably a pret­ty face dressed up in cloth­ing paid for by Campaign funds a gor­geous pair of glass­es and not much else except an emp­ty head.

Palin’s approach would become the tem­plate for repub­li­cans from top to bot­tom, Republicans unleashed a nasty brand of pol­i­tics that was not even evi­dent dur­ing the tumul­tuous Clinton years. The Karl Rove play-book was out in full frontal mode for all to see. Despite cat­a­stroph­ic finan­cial signs which caused both Obama and McCain to leave their cam­paign and head to Washington DC to address the cri­sis, Republicans like Newt Gingrich Mitch McConnell , and Paul Ryan the can­di­date for vice pres­i­dent this cycle had ded­i­cat­ed them­selves to stand­ing in the way of any­thing the new pres­i­dent would do to res­cue the coun­try from the failed eco­nom­ic poli­cies of repub­li­can George W Bush.

That makes Paul Ryan the oppo­site of what he would like you to believe he is, Ryan is no deficit hawk, he vot­ed for every big gov­ern­ment pro­gram of the Bush Administration. He begged for stim­u­lus mon­ey even while he lied,and argued that the stim­u­lus did not work. When con­front­ed with the facts he feigned mem­o­ry lapse, he lat­er agreed that he did ask using some flim­sy dis­claimer that is so sil­ly I won’t even list it here.

Ryan lies so much that it is no won­der Romney the senior liar chose him to be his run­ning-mate, Romney has decid­ed­ly used lies as part of his cam­paign, it’s easy to see how he would choose Ryan who lies that the pres­i­dent closed a plant even before he became pres­i­dent, when con­front­ed with the facts the argued that it was part of a larg­er strat­e­gy to show Obama’s failures.

The truth is, it end­ed up show­ing the larg­er truth that the Romney/​Ryan cam­paign is an integri­ty-free zone.

The speech giv­en by Paul Ryan was panned by Democrats and Republicans alike as full of holes and down­right filled with lies, yet paul Ryan and Mitt Romney con­tin­ues with the bla­tant lies about Medicare, Welfare, and Obama’s record.

Ryan mean­while, lack­ing the ener­gy of Sarah Palin and crowd appeal, but for what comes out of his mouth, has turned out to be noth­ing more than Palin in drag.
