Good grief. Obama's becoming Ronald Reagan!

Suddenly, a rumbling of middle class black Americans has said bye bye to all their sisters and brothers in the hood and moved on up to the east side, which is what they've wanted to officially do for thirty years now, thank you.

Great God Almighty, they're free at last.
It is fascinating how many regular, real African-Americans, not entertainers or sports icons who make zillions of dollars a year and live outrageous life styles describe their approval of the way Barack is dealing with "black" issues lately in addition to describing Jesse Jackson and his type as bitter, old racists.

Until just recently, no one would dare say such a thing about Jackson and others like him, the civil rights movement's last sacred cows. Barack finally has given permission to slay them, put them down, and put the rest of us out of our misery with these fools who have made a living off of underclassing an entire generation of Americans. The civil rights movement no longer is represented by this man who has gone beyond MLK's dream.

I can see black commentators, political scientists, lawyers and educators are practically giddy with relief and pent up emotion. God bless them, they can finally say what they've been thinking for years now. This is wonderful news for all African-Americans. As this freedom grows, so will the thinking of the individuals, which of course is good for America and both political parties.

I'm also interested in the irony that it took an "inauthentic" Mutlatto man, educated in British and upperclass American private schools to get this group to give them permission to move on.

Of course, that's why Jesse wants to cut Barack's parts off and serve them to him and Michelle in their next Salads Nicoise. Finally, the day has come that Jesse's and Al's been worried about: someone's come along to make it okay for the 75 percent of those black men who aren't in jail and who support their families to say adios to those people who refuse get their lives together. See ya, sucker. Your problems are your problems, not mine.

Barack might be tired of apologizing for the behavior of the dysfunctional black community, supported dysfunction, fostered by crazy stuff, romanticized by inappropriate rap groups and self-appointed black bosses who have hurt people, not helped them. It looks like he's willing only to use their help and support if they fall into line behind him his way.

Interesting to see a formerly rather aggressive Obama rap bunch jump to attention and suddenly become respectable. He's sent the memo that says xnay on the victimhood and anger evidently; maybe the same one he sent to Reverend Wright.

Deep down we all like to feel respectable, I think. These young black gansta rap entrepreneurs see that nothing succeeds like success--and excess. They're going for the brass (diamond) ring while using Obama's commodity of optimism and change as their currency to make things better, and so far, it's working. Welcome to civil society, Boys! Now take that gd chip off our shoulder and get with the program.

What about the black comedians? Are they going to continue the hate whitey skits?

Now if Barack can just keep the festering underclass like that stupid woman in Denver from screwing it all up for him. Or if he can keep himself from uttering idiotic things like we all need to speak Spanish--very revealing--and he might want to move a bit further right and get off the universal health care kick.

But then, that is always the problem for those who govern. They will learn that it's not as easy as it looks. I believe I mentioned that when Pelosi and Company took over a couple a years ago. Their approval rating topped 9% last week, the lowest in history.

Yep, nothing succeeds like a nice lookin' suit, a Midwestern accent and a handshake that comes from the heart.

Promising the little dog for the kids will work too. Muslims hate dogs. That makes a lot of people in America feel better about Barack's middle name.

If the mean streets of the ghetto can get over this "betrayal," and if Hillary doesn't pull any funny stuff, he'll have a chance of being president.

Also, if Barack can convince the rest of us that he's strong enough and knows enough about "things" to keep those pesky terrorists away from my grandkids and the Middle East from exploding into nuclear war, my taxes down, the government off my back and give a break or two for small business, I'd be happy. Shoot, I'd probably vote for the kid, if I thought he'd actually do it.

But, I don't think in his heart or mind Barack is even close to doing what Ronald Reagan would do. Wasn't it just last month he was calling for the end of the war in Iraq?

All in all, though we're much, much closer together than the media would have us think, regardless of our politics. That the good news, brother.

Thanks for the read.
