How does it feel to know…..
you are going to be a one term President after eight months in office? You know you had voters at a fever pitch with your promises of change. You know you had a great winning line going for you. You were able to see political candidates around the world adopting your slogan of “Change!” and singing your praises in every way and language possible to honor an individual. You saw this! We Villagers saw it! It was impossible to avoid but yet you did not see what a lot of us saw; the Democrats as a party did not share your vision during those primaries and, alas, to date.
The upper crust of the Democratic party, including Rahm Emanuel, did not endorse you. We had no choice but to believe you knew what you were doing and would fight for what you had promised us. We trusted your brilliance as being far greater than our own and we opened paths, roadways, byways and avenues for you in our own uniquely pedestrian ways upon which you traveled to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in North West Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2009.
You are a Constitution lawyer and teacher which, to me, is the social equivalent of being a brain surgeon. I do understand being a President is the only job in America you are allowed to get OJT (On the job training) experiences for four years. This Villager is not angry with you for that; a bit disappointed, you may say, but not angry and hostile. You are much to young for me to feel that way about you in your job as the President of a country with shitty ass advisers like Rahm Emanuel. I think Axelrod is on your side. You should listen to him more often.
However, with you being a Constitutional Lawyer and all, I was just banking on you knowing your discipline and knowing how to work your knowledge of your discipline so your constituents would not be disappointed in the results of listening to your presentations and the way you presented yourself to us. We thought you “knew your stuff!”
In secret, I fantasized you would throw the Constitution around just as the Bible toting people throw around Bible verses. I was anxiously awaiting the chance to finally see our Constitution work in real time. I fantasized you would throw portions of the Constitution at the MSM as if it were confetti ladened with Crazy Glue, sending the White House press corp back to school or, in some cases, into school. I thought you would use the Constitution to justify everything you wanted to do even if that meant when a President should go to the bathroom, wake up to do his job and go to his office to administer the affairs of state. I was wrong. My bad.
We teachers have lesson plans and curriculum we have to follow and justify every lesson we teach when our supervisors come around. You, Sir, in my opinion, have the Constitution. That is truly where the buck stops here in America. Pres. Truman had it absolutely right. Three cheers for “Give’em hell Harry!”
As always,

P.S. It would be nice to call Pres. Obama “The Constitutional President”. (Smile) Speaking of Pres. Harry Truman, he got into a spat with Music Critic Paul Hume. Paul Hume said Harry’s daughter Margaret could not sing. Similar spat between the Harvard Professor, the local cop and Pres. Obama. If I remember correctly, the spat between Pres. Truman and Mr. Hume got ugly. If something like that filtered down into the “Negro” community where I was…it was bad!
