Summary
On the serious side, every time I see [Barack Obama] I think of what a challenge it will be for him if he wins. Racists (and Republicans) will give him a hard time on one side, and on the other, certain types of African Americans will say, "He's not doing enough for Black people." I just hear it nowl (And I would advise Obama to keep a safe distance from people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton - "leaders" I, for one, would never follow. Even Jackson's son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., described his lather's remarks about Barack Obama as "ugly rhetoric" that he "thoroughly rejects and repudiates." I think Jesse Jackson Sr. is jealous.)
Country music songwriters can really come up with funny, take-no-prisoners titles. For example, on the charts right now are "His Kind of Money (My Kind of Love)," "Back When I Knew It All, " "You Look Good in My Shirt" and "Upper Middle Class White Trash."MEMORIES: "Ladies Night" (Kool & the Gang), "Get On Up" (the Esquires), "Typical Male" (Tina Turner), "Come Get to This" (Marvin Gaye), "Any Time, Any Place" (Janet Jackson), "The Chokin' Kind" (Joe Simon), "Groove Me" (Guy), "All Night Long" (the Mary Jane Girls), "Maybe" (the Chantels).(And it should be noted that Black people comprise less than 15 percent of the total U.S. population.) Similarly, Oprah Winfrey presents her immensely popular TV show to the whole country, sometimes doing shows focusing on African American issues. Plenty of stars have been lining up to support Obama, including John Legend, the Dixie Chicks, Ludacris, Brace Springsteen, Jay-Z, Melissa Etheridge, will.i.am, Barbra Streisand and Chuck Berry.See the full content of this document

History Maker Needs Prayers

Barack Obama has a real chance of winning the presidency I support him not because he is Black, but because I believe he is the better candidate, and the one most ...See the full content of this document
