Greed, cronyism, elitism, out of touch-ism, hypocrisy, corruption, snake oil sales.<BR/><BR/>Sane and decent people do not run for political office.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I do not see the "honeymoon" here in the hood. Like cheering for the acquittal of OJ, the "win" is over. And those self-appointed "black leaders" are just lining up for the next round of handouts - be it appointments or program funding.<BR/><BR/>Politics is a game show. Let's make a deal if the price is right ....<BR/><BR/>I don't want "people with experience" .. I want people with common sense and an acute conscience - both of which seem to be sacrificed currently at the altar of political advancement.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-56421208409822957472008-11-25T09:50:00.000-06:002008-11-25T09:50:00.000-06:00And the reason I say it looks like it is going to ...And the reason I say it looks like it is going to be the same as the past administrations that seems to have got us to the sad point where the country is today is that there doesn't seem to be any fresh new people being appointed. Its good to have people with experience where you do not, but I wonder how long he can remain "fresh" himself. I hope for the best. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, politics seems to be a very exciting and powerful arena.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-74114099452117060872008-11-25T09:41:00.000-06:002008-11-25T09:41:00.000-06:00Hi Kate,You said: "Obama appointments = 3rd term ...Hi Kate,<BR/><BR/>You said: "Obama appointments = 3rd term Clinton, or 6th term Poppy Bush."<BR/><BR/>By Obama's appointments to his administration, it certainly looks like it thus far and he is not even in office yet.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I wonder how long before this "honeymoon" phase wears off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-10711100509454406802008-11-25T07:06:00.000-06:002008-11-25T07:06:00.000-06:00anonyI've been telling folks for 3 years to fasten...anony<BR/>I've been telling folks for 3 years to fasten their seat belts for a bumpy ride.<BR/><BR/>Obama appointments = 3rd term Clinton, or 6th term Poppy Bush.<BR/><BR/>I had a 60-ish-year old educated, nice white woman sit on my front porch 3 or 4 months ago gushing about how Obama gave her hope and that this is the first election she has ever been excited about. <BR/><BR/>I thought to myself "We're in big trouble when white folk this old are this stupid."<BR/><BR/>Laughter is the best defense.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-36712809922423984972008-11-24T11:03:00.000-06:002008-11-24T11:03:00.000-06:00Hi Kate,I bet your articles on some of the Obama a...Hi Kate,<BR/><BR/>I bet your articles on some of the Obama appoinments, if you write them, with be something else. I just read an article on another site referring to "former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin's disciples". The writer ended the article by saying "fasten your seatbelt". <BR/><BR/>I guess we may as well have a good laugh seeing that not to much may be able to be done about it.<BR/><BR/>Here's the article: http://www.thecatsdream.com/blog/2008/11/warning-obamas-economic-gang-fasten.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
