I'm still ride or die Obama. I tend to ignore the criticisms now, because it's clear to me the people doing the criticizing just want the attention. I choose to avert my eyes more than anything.

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.

"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?"

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...

And a neglectful mother…. and a publicity whore, and an ignoramous, and a dumb ass, and a snarky bitch. I got a whole lot more adjectives where those came from…. oh yeah, and an ingrate.
