Sen. Obama’s America #2
After listening to Sen. Obama’s speech today in Flint, Michigan, I can fully understand why there are those calling him a BS’er. I can understand their questioning his Presidential agendi and how in hell he expects to do all those good things for America and in particular, for the people in Michigan he was espousing.
This cynical thinking is, in my opinion, not without merits. One has to only reflect back to the ‘06 elections to ponder the promises the candidates made with the most prominent being the promises of Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers and Charlie Rangel. Not any of their promises have even approached the light of day. I will not go through their promises individually, but they were grandiose and on the same level and with the same sincerities we are hearing from Sen. Obama. There is no wonder Sen. Clinton attacked Sen. Obama’s speeches as being empty rhetoric. She knows the back-up is not there and perhaps will not be in the near future. To my knowledge and save Sen. Wexler, there has been no Democratic congressperson saying they fully identify with a single one of Sen. Obama‘s promises and will work hard to see that it is implemented or at the very least, in the congressional pipeline.
During one of Sen. Obama’s speeches it would be nice to hear him say, “I have just been told Sen. So-and-so and Nancy Pelosi are at this very moment introducing a bill on the promise of which I speak. I promised you a change and already it is happening. So you see, Flint Michigan, when I am elected President, we will already be hitting the ground running.” Such an announcement would open up a whole new world of Sen. Obama‘s supporters. Speaking for myself and perhaps a few others, it surely would make the Independent voters crack a smile and perhaps such a move would hit their hand. You never know about such things. I can not imagine such a vast group of people sitting around waiting to do nothing. Speaking as the people from Missouri and the adolecent boy to his first girl friend, "Show me!" A classic case of "You show me yours and I'll show you mine."
To not do back-ups like this in support for your candidate leaves Sen. Obama vulnerable. Very vulnerable giving the appearance of a BS’er. How else can one view the situation? He makes promises with absolutely no foundations and no back-ups. You figure that one out considering your average non- internet user yet savvy and mentally alert citizen! “Where’s the beef?”
Sen. Clinton knows her co-patriots in the Democratic party will continue sitting back with folded arms across their chest saying, “Look at that boy go!” “Un-huh! He’s good!” “Good for the party.” “Now I know we’re gonna win in November.” The question remains: Upon what foundation does Sen. Obama base his programs? What evidence is there that the ‘06 class before him did anything meaningful with their pre-election promises? Where is the foundation for these promises? Are they just made of whole-clothe?
The ‘06 Class has made Sen. Obama’s bid for the White House very difficult as have the members from the class of ‘06 and before. For all practical purposes, they have done nothing, nothing you hear, that would make a person believe anything would come from Sen. Obama’s promises. Sen. Kucinich is, in my opinion, the only one to carry a light, dim as it is, to providing some substance to the Democrats and I would strongly suspect the impeachment of Pres. Bush was not one of his campaign promises. All the more reasons to consider him an American Hero.
Speaking of a hero, Sen. Al Gore enters the stage as some sort of hero now that Sen. Obama has made it safe for him to show his fat “fear of confrontation” ass. I, for one, am not impressed and I have yet to see his endorsement of Sen. Obama. I am still bitter Sen. Gore and others let Sen. Obama flail in the hostile winds of politics to the dismay of all who love him and believe in him. What Dr. Dean did not do anything to stop the bitterness of other Democrats directed towards Sen. Obama and what Sen. Gore did today was more of the same bull shit from the Democratic party and I am not impressed, continuing to have mixed feelings calling for Sen. Obama to come on back home. “We’ll find something for you to do.” The speech today was brilliant and, yes, I cried yet again! Couldn’t help it. Tears just started flowing. A mind of their own, those tears of mine. One of these days I’m gonna show’em whose boss. Humph!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. Looking forward to a non Neo-con to fill Russert’s place on “Meet The Press”. Donahue? Imus? Enough, already!
