I think President Obama was set up to be used as an example for certain people to say, "See what happened under a black President, we gave them a chance and look how bad the country is doing, we are in worse condition under a black man as President than any president in our history". While I know this will be used, there are some in high places who will deny these things will ever be said or thought.

As long as President Obama does what all former Presidents have done, he will be successful. What do I mean by that you ask? As long as he takes care of the people who put him in office, he will be declared successful, not by the majority of the American people who voted for him, but by the people who became more wealthy and more powerful while he is in office. Do we really think everybody is doing bad in this economy? Nobody is prospering? Of course not. There are some people who are doing much better under the Obama administration than under any of our former presidents.

We, the American people think our lives will be affected when in reality it is our state and local governments that affect our daily lives more. Ask any person if the federal government has the ability to raise their cell phone bill, their mortgage or rent, car note, power bill, water bill, school taxes, sales taxes, grocery bill, restaurant bill, laundry bill, beauty and barber shop bill, cable bill, their internet bill, the price to go to a concert, sporting event, a club, or a drink? If only 40 percent of the American people pay taxes then what taxes can the Federal government raise besides income tax, that directly affects a person's life.

People such as Trump, Perry, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Savage Weiner, and many others including some in Congress, hate the fact that a man of color is President of the United States and has more authority than they do and ever will have. They are of the old mentality that strangled America in the dark days and will continue to strangle America in the future while instilling their warped views in their children and others. Many like them were taught these old ways by their parents and others ignorance, so they are not fully responsible for their beliefs no more than a suicide bomber is for theirs. Both think they are doing the right thing and have very strong views which were part of their upbringing.

President Obama has all the credentials these other people in disguise don't have and is twice as intelligent as they are, another trait they dislike. President Obama attended and graduated from the top Ivy league schools in America. The highest degree of education I could find on any of these other people is one who can claim he has a PHd in plants and I assume that includes Marijuana in California. Then again, I bet Snoop Dogg could teach the plant doctor a thing or two on that.

I've said all along that right wing fanatical terrorist are no different than right wing fanatical racist. They both should be viewed and treated the same. If the world would be better off without one, it would be much better off without both. Not all people with racist views will admit they are racist, while not all people with terrorist views will admit they are terrorist either. They use different political and religious acceptable terms to describe themselves. They both have a certain arrogance about them that many perceive to be confidence, but they are one and the same regardless of how they try to present themselves.

One of my very dear friends, William Mueller was a German Jew who escaped Hitler's Germany to Canada. Bill explained to me how he was tortured at a very young age. I asked him why the Germans hated the Jews so much and he explained what happened. This is what I took away from my conversation with him. The Jewish people are very innovative and intelligent. While they were small in numbers compared to the Germans, the Jews prospered as they owned very successful businesses, were the best teachers, scientist, doctors, engineers and other professionals in Germany. The Germans became jealous and envious and wanted what the Jews had built. Once Hitler came into power they took everything from the Jews and declared them to be inferior to the Germans.

What president Obama has taught us is that it takes intelligence to combat racism and other ignorant views. It is the platform for the next person of color who succeeds to the top, to build upon.

I once worked with a guy of Italian decent and he told me that he and his wife told their son to quit his job at a fast food restaurant rather than be supervised by the black manager. He said his parents who were from Italy taught them that they were smarter than black people and should always be above them. Then he asked if I thought he was wrong. I thought to myself, here is a legal second generation Italian immigrant who feels this way, whose parents took no part in building or fighting for the freedoms he has in America. I wondered where did his parents get their views of black people and my logical conclusion is, from white Americans.

It still amazes me that some people get their views of black people from what they see on tv and movies. I was watching a documentary on the life of the American Indian living on the reservation in South Dakota. The commentator stated that almost 80 percent were unemployed, it's not uncommon for young women to be raped and battered, and 50 percent of high school age children will not graduate. I wondered how a race of people living peacefully for probably thousands of years are now relegated to living on a reservation? How could their lives be turned upside down? Was it the so called civilized way of life brought from Europe? I then thought of the similarities of the Native American Indian whose land was taken from them and Black Americans who were taken from their land. Does this high tech world that we now live in make life better than it once was? Are children more happier inside with a computer than outside playing with the neighborhoods kids? In my opinion when a culture of people has been changed, it is just a matter of time before that group becomes isolated, problematic, looses their identity and soon becomes extinct. Black Americans can learn a lot from their Native American brothers.

I wonder what is it that Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornell West expect President Obama to do in a failing economy that other presidents did not do? Do they expect more government programs? Do they expect certain government programs to help certain people? Do they expect special programs that will help black people? I never read in the constitution that it was the presidents job to create jobs. Perhaps it's time for America's first King. Perhaps Smiley and West would be satisfied if the President wrote them a check for 1 billion dollars, but told them to hold it til Friday. In the hood we knew "til Friday" meant next to next Friday which was the Friday after that. The root of the problems in the black community is the black man. The black man has deserted his role as head by depending on others. I think Smiley and West would have a greater impact if they focused all their efforts and resources on instructing and educating black boys and black men so the cycle of what is taking place now can be reversed. We all have an obligation to teach that which we've learned to the next generation and those who can benefit from our wisdom, knowledge and talents.

There is a much bigger picture than black against white, democrat against republican, gay against straight, christians against muslims and non believers. Most Americans are led to believe their lives are not affected much by what goes on beyond our borders. It is just a matter of time before that Disney world way of thinking is shattered. While Americans bicker over these so called issues, the Chinese are advancing their agenda in every country possible, including America. In fact, America is the easiest to overtake simply by offering more money for whatever they want. Remember how easy it was for those terrorist who flew planes into the world trade center to get training right here in America. They paid cash. The Chinese are buying their way into power. Soon they will be the No. 1 world power and their currency will overtake the American dollar in our life time. I suggest young blacks refocus taking a foreign language to mandarin rather than French or Spanish. The reason why the Chinese are overtaking America in other countries is because the Chinese government supports their people while America depends on the private sector. The private sector is not interested in high tech colonization of other countries. They are only interested in ways to keep one group pitted against another so large amounts of money can be made in the process. While congress and others such as the Tea Party are focused primarily on destroying President Obama at all cost, China is steadily gaining ground around the world. Once China has enough influence in enough countries, they will then control a majority of the worlds oil reserves, gold and diamond mines in Africa and South America. They are already in control of enough gold and silver equal to that of America. With those in power fighting against President Obama's plans for solar and alternative energy and trying to make a mockery of him, China is positioning to be No.1 in the world. Unless America seriously invest in alternative energy, we will be at China's mercy. Do we really think an American non government supported company can compete with a Chinese government supported company? The Chinese government has already placed itself in a postion to monopolize the Solar industry by offering less expensive solar products. China has the money to buy land, hotels, businesses, offer manufacturing, assist in building a countries infrastructure, build their own communities in any country they wish, and more importantly, support the candidates and lobbyist they choose financially. There are more Chinese moving to Africa than any other continent. Does the American private sector care? No. It is not black people who America needs to be concerned about. Black people and others are just a scapegoat of a much bigger picture and that bigger picture is American greed.

3. Federal Contract Limits: Except for major defense contractors, limit companies from receiving 3 consecutive years of the same federal contracts worth 10 million or more. The Federal government is one of the largest contract awarders in the world spending over 1 trillion dollars annually. I believe many of these companies winning contract awards overcharge the Federal government. Those federal employees awarding contracts are sometimes open to bribes by some bidding companies. I suggest building a task force to root out bribes and unlawful unethical practices that win some companies federal contracts.

4. Banking:  Track all offshore individual and business bank accounts. Seize those which violate the law. It is very easy to open offshore accounts and other accounts in certain countries without a name, making it difficult to track them, but there are ways to do it. Some who intentionally violate the law by hiding income, use a number instead of a name to open such accounts. Investigate US banks involved with foreign trade. Many banks trade departments employees should be examined. One of the easiest ways to illegally finance terrorism is by letters of credit. Hundreds of millions of dollars are transacted daily by banks foreign trade departments using letters of credit.  Now we see who the real criminals, crooks and robbers of America are, those old gray haired thieves in the banking/financial industry. People on welfare are NOT the the ones stealing money from the governement, it's those 50 and over gray haired money hungry bastards sitting behind their desk looking out the window. That's why when I go into a bank and I see some old guy coming out to meet me, I automatically know this fool is not going to loan me any money unless the government makes him. That's my racial profiling. We need younger people running our financial institutions and NOT these same old farts who are stealing America blind. Madoff is not the only one. There are hundreds of Madoffs in America and President Obama is going to catch every one of them. To me, they are worse than a drug dealer. Drug dealers destroy communities while Madoffs of the world destroy entire states. It's people like Rush Limbaugh and his wanna bees Hannity, Ingram, Savage, and the lesser knowns who will defend these people. In fact, I would not doubt it if these so called conservative talk show host did not know some of these crooks personally. It would not surprise me one bit. Birds of a feather flock together.
