I was cheering! I will continue to be fed up with the whining from the Left, the stupidity from the Right and the evilness expressed by those perpetrating Christianity. I am also sick of the daily discussion on who is going to run in 2012, this is an insult to the sitting president… and I have never known this to happen before.

True, just a bit playa. but at this point, could anyone affect progress? Cairo IL is the model. 150 years ago, Cairo was the grandest city at the confluence of two slave states and a free state. Everything going up or down the ONLY means of transport passed through Cairo and it flourished. But over the years, power, old money and small town politics have overwhelmed the city until today what is left are poor black and privileged whites. The downtown is so far gone, buildings are literally falling down and there is not enough money to tear them down, Detroit is exactly the same: old money hangs on to what they have left to the detriment of the people that have to live there and the city in general.

I'll concur with that but his shenanigans didn't make it any better.

City without a motor is accurate. I dont know if Kwame was ever capable
of handling the problems endemic in Detroit or if he was a manifestation
of the frustration of the population that they will elect anyone with a glimmer of hope. Perhaps he was part of the process Detroit has to experience to scrape the figurative shit off the collective shoe and start again. What is Detroit has been in progress for decades.

I know plenty about the 'City without a Motor' as I call it out. That's another reason why I don't like Kwame. He had the opportunity to do right by the citizens of Detroit who needed a mayor to turn around the mess they call a city. Instead he practiced cronyism and brought corruption.

Final Call got what it wanted
Have you been watching the Motor City
other than the mayor? Business and anglos
have left, gone, bye bye... What is left
is very poor, mostly black and uneducated people
struggling on a daily basis and serious old money
trying to get the last drop of blood out of that turnip.
It is a Katrina event; only unnatural.
Cairo, IL, East St Louis, East Chicago are the model at work here

I'm just not sure if the former mayor is not the getting the same treatment as other nefarious ner' do wells. Sarah Palin had State Police fired: Nominated for VP, sorta writes an book and makes millions, Oprah interview and future talk show host. Mark Sanford abandoned office and may have used state funds/resources for personal purposes: under investigation. John Ensign: boinks a married staffer, PARENTS pay hush and violate campaign laws: under investigation? I'm seeing a pattern. Black man: dick slapped up one side and down the other. Anglos: business as usual. TS

I live downtown Naptown and the place is decidedly anglo (Center Township)
The High school for the city proper has a large African American contingency, but investment is getting heavy and ongoing as that school will be the training facility for the 2012 Superbowl. I am not opposed to the upgrade as high schools in the burbs and surrounding counties routinely have multimillion dollar facilities via private donation, alumni and other avenues. I'm concerned with academic regentrification. I find it interesting that anglo children have gone to schools in other countries, on board ships and other alternative situation but black kids were, by and large not included in those efforts; but now lets send them to the motherland. A semester at sea will change your life. TS

I am only referencing the affair.
I don't feel sorry for him as well
if he ran the office like a BET vid (thats a racist painting)
But of what was he convicted. Im just say'n
Aint the first, aint gonna be the last
Im just full of folks worrying about
someone's dick. His dick is his problem.
Detroit is a city in crisis (for any number of reasons)
to the extent I've heard talk of just abandoning it.
A sociocultural Katrina, It would be naive to think
politics are not a factor. The situation is he set
himself up to be shot down. Lets separate the facts;
If you want to talk about perjury, lets talk perjury:
If is obstruction, then obstruction. An affair is an affair and much more personal and only for the parties involved. TS

Racist??? What do you mean rikyrah? How could an old white man from Australia possibly be a racist? Look how well his generation treated the Aborigines and he hired Juan Williams too.

Extend tax cuts, but have a payroll tax just to pay for healthcare.
