Barack Obama.

Some people are saying this isn’t a good time for Obama to be running for President of the 387119032_088943d840.jpgUnited States of America. They say his presence will only split the democratic vote. Thereby, giving the republicans another shot at four more years of  a hellstorm of incompetence and failed policies.  I’m going to be honest here. Other than reading Barack’s book: Dreams from my Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, and I didn’t even get a chance to finish that book, I don’t know much about this man. 

Don’t get me wrong -  Barack is definately an capable and accomplished brother. Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. In February 1990, he gained national recognition for becoming the first African American to be elected president of the Harvard Law Review. He obtained his J.D.  degree Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in 1991. On returning to Chicago, Obama directed a voter registration drive, then worked for the civil rights law firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

I could sense from his book he has a lot of character, depth, sincerity, humility and integrity. Other than the growing pains he experienced such as dabbling in drugs he doesn’t have a questionable political history like some of the other candidates that followed him. In that aspect, then I would say his reletively short political career could be to his advantage. If I had a choice between Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton I’d vote for Obama in a New York minute. But is the brother really ready? You have to think about it. Even if he won do you think his administration would really assist him in the capacity that a president needs or will they come up with a series of debacles that he will ultimately have to play the bigger man role and take full responsibility?

Barack%20Obama-1.jpgOkay, now before we go any further, I know exactly what you’re thinking, especially you hard-headed, slow to learn republicans. I know you’re thinking “People have said the same things about George W. and he’s considered a bad man for sticking to his guns and continuing with the war?” I’ma just tell y’all right now y’all need to shut that noise up. There is nothing that man has done in his personal life, academic life, entrepreneurial life or political life that he can honestly be proud of. He’s the biggest damn failure, the most powerfurl idiot (that’s almost an oxymoron), North America has ever seen and will ever see in it’s entire existence on planet earth as we have known it and as we know it to be today.

Before Obama became a serious candidate I’m not afraid to tell you I had already put all of my eggs in Hillary Clinton’s basket. Not only is Hillary an amazing woman, the most powerful first lady in the history of the United States, She’s also a very formidable, versatile, and determined woman. Then you have the Bill factor in the mix. Hillary will have what I personally believe was the greatest president in contemporary history in her corner. How can you beat a duo like that? So, who am I going to vote for?

The bottom line is this: I didn’t give a damn about Jesse Jackson when he ran. I especially didn’t give a damn about Al Sharpton when he ran. That fool is an even bigger opportunist than Jesse is. At least Jesse receded into darkness for a short time after losing but Al siezed the moment and pushed his own celebrity and even gave himself a makeover. But with Obama this brother is the most elligible black man I’ve ever seen in the political eye.  Let’s make history. I’m not going to tell you who to vote for. Look at it this way. Either way, whether you vote for Hillary or Barack  history will be made once again just as in Superbowl 41.
