Thanks for the memories.

It's so great to look back at these precious moments!

BUSH+LOGIC=OXYMORON

Barack Obama isn't president yet. And therefore, as far as I see it, doesn't deserve most, if not all, of the criticism launched at him. Most folks assume that Barack must only appoint purists, whatever that means to the criticizers. And they also assume no one should be rewarded for ever making a mistake, that their past behavior will always determine their future behavior, and that redemption is just a word.

Why fight foolishness? I pick my battles much better now.

Gee, could it be that some are tired of the drama and just wants things to get done?

I am waiting for Obama to be inaugurated.

With every new administration there is some drama, Obama's included.

I'm old enough to remember:

Robert Kennedy being JFK's Attorney General

The Abe Fortas fight during the Johnson Administration..

Zoe Baird & Kimba Wood durirg the Clinton Administration.

This drama has happended before, and will happen again, throughout the Obama Administration, and the next administration, and the next administration and the next…

***shakin' my head!**** STUPID!!!

Found On YouTube: 800 Songs About Barack Obama

“ObamaSongs” painstakingly tracked down precisely 800 songs about Barack Obama from the wilds of YouTube and assembled into a single collection for easy viewing.

The chart to the right shows that whoever is responsible for this found more songs closer to the election, which makes sense.

Because nobody has the time to plow through hundreds of songs about Barack Obama in one sitting, even on a Friday, “ObamaSongs” courteously created a 137-song playlist of his favorites.

This got us wondering: which candidate has a stronger YouTube presence? A search for “McCain song” pulled up about 15,200 videos, while a search for “Obama song” returned around 49,700 videos.

A lot of recognition. :>) :>)

[NOTE: I've seen/heard soma these songs. NOT all are favorable; BUT those that are FAVORABLE, REALLY HONOR HIM!!] :>) The Kooks – -need to – -GTHOH!!] :>)

In the meantime:

Ashford & Simpson – Solid (1984) ENJOY! :>) :>)

“Suey suey, come here boy, you look just like a hog.”

please post THIS again in the afternoon thread.

Where is that fierce protection of Obama now?! Is Obama doomed to becoming yet another 'Black first' (albeit the ultimate first) that makes history without measurable success that follows? Is that enough for Black folks? Or do we want him to succeed for US? For generations to follow?

The first 100 days of his administration are critical to his long-term success and yet we see his fellow Democrats and white Liberals prepared to sabotage him even before he's officially sworn in. You would think he actually lost the election, but stole it with the help of the Supreme Court. Oh, I'm sorry! That illegitimate idiot had the support of his Party! They treated him like he won 53% of the vote; got the largest winning vote margin for his Party in 30 years; and won states that his Party hasn't won in decades.

In less than a week, you have Diane Feinstein challening Obama's CIA selection with the Vice President-elect running his mouth AGAIN taking her side; a coward ass senate minority leader who used to quiver at the mention of Karl Rove now diminishing Obama's presidential power in print; Nancy Pelosi who couldn't win an election outside of San Francisco trying to re-shape the message of his stimulus plan that he needs to sell to the nation; and now John Conyers taking the side of a white Liberal columnist who has been critical of Obama since he announced his candidacy in opposing Sanjay Gupta.

What the fuck is up?!
