There are plenty of white people who really do not understand race

What is incredibly lacking is someone to explain to white people, in a way they understand, that the actions were racist.
There are plenty of white people who really do not understand race, they do stupid things, get in trouble, and they do not learn the real reason why. What happens is they blame the "PC" police and become more entrenched in their ignorance.
Just like any child, punishment without teaching will only breed resentment.

Don't blame Obama for the security foul up

The security breach has caused hand-wringing inside the White House, bewilderment among Tuesday night's guests -- and late on Friday, prompted an apology from the Secret Service.
It has yet to be confirmed but that isn't the problem. The problem is that this couple was able to go to a State Dinner WITHOUT INVITATION. They should be prosecuted. Maybe if the story is true about being friends, they won't be so interesting to hear them in an interview, for which they are demanding about $500,000 or $600,000. Kick them to the curb.
I'm sure people will blame Obama for this gaffe but Obama isn't the one running the Secret Service. Obama doesn't pick who will protect a president and who won't. Read "In the President's Secret Service." The Secret Service. are totally to blame for this breach.

Hello my good friends in the blogosphere!

For the past few months or so, I have taken the blogging a bit slower. I have moved to a new city, New York and I started a new position.. One that demands most of my time for the moment. I miss the daily interaction in the blogging world, but my spare time belongs to my wife! So, for the next several months I will be blogging and comments only on a here and there basis. And will hopefully become re-engaged with blogging when time once again permits. For now, I am reading , and hanging out with my gorgeous wife. See you all soon.

I believe Obama did the correct thing

Leaders of different countries around the world rally to attract the Olympics to come to their cities. What is wrong for President Obama to rally to attract the Olympics to Chicago. The President has a home in Chicago. If McCain was President he would be doing the same thing. There is nothing illegal what the President is doing. I understand some people don't want the olympics for different reasons. Where I lived one time we all wanted the Olympics to come to our region in Texas. But the Dallas City council voted down the whole thing. If people in Chicago didn't want the Olympics to come I believe it might just be too light to convince the City of Chicago to cancel the bid. I as an American want to see the summer Olympics to come to America even if it is in Chicago. The people of Chicago were too lazy into Convincing the city of Chicago to Cancel its bid and people will face the Consequences. I believe he did the correct thing.

DON'T Blame Obama!

Sure, it's easy to blame it on the black guy, that always seems to work! But no he is the person. The corruption fraud and political pandering happens in the US Us Congress a long time ago. . The current economic collapsed was started way back during the FIRST Bush administration.
Also blame the problem on the GREED of Americans, individuals as well as Investors and corporations.The bad of using Credit Card and investing in High risk ventures.Every one of have contributed. Spending irrationally is the cause and effect.
The republican party speifically Phile Graham,John McCain and Tom Delay and the continuing resolution that allowed Big banking ans\d Wall Street to operate like global gambling casinos.

George Bush headed the gang of twelve that did this..

And not only them, lso the current members of the US congress have shown just how corrupt they are. Chris Dodd and Barny Franks have shown they are both bought and paid for. Blame them as well.
For many it's far easier to blame Obama, it seems that Obama haters can't decide whether to call him a socialist or a fascist. Or maybe their just to confused as to what it all means.
Republicans want to be taken seriously? You can start by stopping this constant shriek of socialist-marxist-communist-nazi. It really, really makes you all look dumb as rocks. Desperate and dumb.

When you all are ready to talk like adults again, Americans will listen. If not, don't bother me.
The Republican's "Obama Must Fail" strategy didn't work?

Shucks, It looks like the Big assed Glenn Beck and El Rushbo will have to shut their fat gobs - to the relief of all.

The real reason for the rage: Americans aren't racist - they're just furious at Obama and Washington

Jimmy Carter deserves our respect. As a political analyst - attributing racism to the anger at President Obama - he is irresponsibly inaccurate. Obama's popularity hasn't tumbled because he's black. It's tumbled because he has come to represent Washington instead of those who sent him there. I know this because of a 6,400-person interview survey I conducted.

This is correct. Every president and former president deserves respect because of the office he holds or held. Respect does not equate to high regard, however. I can be respectful to someone I disdain. That does not mean I have to reserve criticism
