Say It Loud….BARACK & I’M PROUD !!!

Barack is on his game!

I agree with your analysis of CNN and other media organizations. I have been seriously irritated by the their presentation of the race throughout the process and if you think it has been bad so far, just wait.

Now that Obama has been deemed the Democratic frontrunner, he will no doubt will be turned inside out by and on behalf of the Republicans and a slew of folks who don’t want him to succeed.

Hillary Clinton knows this won’t happen without a united Democratic Party. Uniting at the end is much like shaking hands and going out for pizza after a softball game. Hillary graciously took the first steps last night. I commend her, and I am hopeful it’ll continue. (At this precise moment, the best thing she could do for her image and for the Democratic Party is fire Mark Penn, who is peddling a lot of these negative stories about Obama).

As a matter of fact, I had to re-evaluate my early morning thoughts…After Trump declared that Randall was the winner, he offered him a “King-Queenmaker” role of Rebecca and Randall said (i’m paraphrasing) “The name of the show is ‘The Apprentice,’ NOT the Apprenti (plural),” to which Donald Trump shrugged his shoulders and the audience booed.

Essentially, Trump destroyed all of the goodwill–”Oh Randall is such a nice guy”–aura that Randall had accumulated over the months of that contest. Trump made Randall look like an ungracious, unsportsmanlike buffoon in a matter of nanonseconds on live televsion.

That’s exactly what Hillary wanted(wants) to happen before March 4th. Obama made it impossible for her to do it…with the one exception where he said, “I must admit these have been some good speeches.” …as a supporter, I loved the line.

So the Randall-Rebecca analogy now has more resonance in that sense. Please pardon my reaction though. When you started talking about Randall/Rebecca, I felt like it was a critique of an Obama-Clinton Ticket. I just wanted to be “crystal” clear that I.M.H.O., such a ticket would not be a ticket of co-equals…but a ticket with ONE HNIC.

Thank You Kindly,

I did point out that, overall, it is unrelated (as far as the details that you pointed out among other things).

I thought of Randall/Rebecca and the Apprentice finale in the context of “Working While Black” if you will – the bar being raised higher, the rules being changed once a qualified (and often overqualified) black candidate fulfills or exceeds expectations.

If the roles were reversed – or if John Edwards were in Barack Obama’s current position, I think Hillary Clinton would have felt much more pressure to drop out sooner than later – and not drag it out to the end.

Remember Bill Clinton’s words to Bob Dole about his campaign “you do whatever it takes.”

Thanks for that post, and once again, I have to say generally, thank goodness for the Afrosphere. Not just for JJP, but for so many other places getting the story out.

I thought Obama did what he needed to do, which was hold serve. Clinton was stronger than she has been in previous debates but I don’t believe she did well enough to shift the momentum in her favour.

I appreciated the discussion Obama and Clinton had about their health care plans. It was thorough enough for people to make up their minds about which plan they can get behind. I think Obama scored points with regard to immigration, with Clinton handling the Cuba/Castro question nicely.

I couldn’t help but notice how they both talked around the question about whether America should be a biligual country.

Much is being made of her last statement, which some are interpreting as a concession of defeat. I’m not sure what she had in mind when she said, in so many words, it’s whatever, but her spokesman’s spin –that she sewed up the nomination– is ridiculous.

I think Obama will win Texas by a narrow margin.

Analysis of Obama’s performance vs. polls [Part 1 of 3: Black voters

complete look at hilliary plagerism, including from last night (using bill and john edward’s phrases)

First, the President of the United States will not “report” to Donald Trump. The President of the United States has only two bosses:
1. The American People
2. The Almighty G_d Himself

Secondly, Trump was trying to hire Randall and Rebecca as co-equals. Make no mistake about it: With an Obama-Clinton Ticket, Barack Obama would be THE H.N.I.C., Commander-in-Chief, Leader of the Free World…Hillary would have to become a true *O* disciple…I think that she can do it…I know that *O* has the transformative power to bring them into the fold…

And if she were to become treacherous, back-biting as a VP, we should remember that the President can “Fire” the VP at will…If I were *O*, I would value the Clintons advise and counsel…even though I know that he can accomplish this mission without them.

The Clintons need a path to redemption…In spite of all their fear tactics, Bill Clinton has raised billions of $$$ to fight HIV in Africa…I am a Christian. I’ll forgive them…once Barack is the nominee.

…time 2 get ready 4 work.
