The left-wing put on quite a show today! Did you miss it? Awww shucks! It was complete with all the fanfare of anti-Bush chants by protesters and a bang-up speech by Barack Hussein Obama after his swearing in. Did you know his middle name was Hussein by the way? I didn't know that until Chief Justice John Roberts had President Obama repeat the ceremonial oath. Kudos to the media for keeping that a secret for the past 18 months! :-)~
The President's speech was almost like a pre-election campaign speech where he espoused the typical "boilerplate" designed to pander to certain constituency groups. There was the obligatory "the economic sky is falling chicken little" approach for the left-wing Bush haters, of course there was appreciation to military veterans to make up for classic quotes during the campaign such as: "Our troops are air-raiding villages and targeting civilians....", there was pro-capitalism and entrepeneurial speak for small businessmen and Wall Street execs but that wasn't the best part. The classic line was given as the cameras panned over thousands of people bundled up like the kid in "A Christmas Story" as they were freezing their keesters off! President Obama stated: "We will address the alarming issue of global warming with green energy alternatives....." Of course, that knee-slapper had to be thrown in for the "Enviro-Socialists" who infest Greenpeace and the Sierra Club. Nobody was "left out in the cold" folks, except for the doggedly loyal witnesses to the inauguration that is.....
Myself, I set aside depression as I watched "Marine One" take President Bush to Andrews AFB and tried to emphasize the positive. What in the world could I find to assuage my fear and apprehension about the socialistic "wealth spreading" tendencies of my new Commander-In-Chief? Always the cheerleader for positive thinking I came to this stark conclusion after watching so many black leaders say they thought: THIS DAY WAS NEVER POSSIBLE.
I realized that the black community in this country is not only filled with hate (as I wrote about last summer...look it up in the archives if you'd like to know more) but it is filled with hopelessness as well. Honestly, I never realized this before. I have a few black friends in aviation but most of them have been taught to ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME WITH FREEDOM. Thus, they are anything but hopeless and the lion's share of them are aggressive go-getters who are driven by achievement and success for the good of their family.
My one hope from this historic election is that President Obama will give hope to the hopeless blacks out there that anything is achievable for them if they live responsibly, set goals and find role models to inspire them. Obama will no doubt be one of those role models along with Condoleeza Rice (the namesake for my kitty cat), Justice Clarence Thomas, Dr. Thomas Sowell (of the Hoover Institute) and Bill Cosby to name just a few. The election of President Obama takes away ALL THE EXCUSES FOLKS! There is no more widespread racism in this country and therefore no more need for affirmative action, which now has the unintended consequence of hurting white men. It's time to grow up, live up to Martin Luther King Jr's expectations and exercise personal responsibility. This would include reversing the alarming 72 percent illegitimacy rate in the black family.
I hope and pray that this message will resonate across the nation in the wake of something that has been labeled as "groundbreaking" and the black community can begin to repair itself for the good of the nation.
