Well Pilgrims, I was surely disappointed.....

..... in ole' Barry Obama's speech today! I was hopin' for a real "come to Jesus" stem winder which would let us get to know him. Instead we got the same old political rhetoric, half truths, part truths, and no meat! At least he was not insultin' our intelligence until he got to this passage --

"In fact, a similar anger exists within segments of the white community. Most working- and middle-class white Americans don’t feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race. Their experience is the immigrant experience – as far as they’re concerned, no one’s handed them anything, they’ve built it from scratch. They’ve worked hard all their lives, many times only to see their jobs shipped overseas or their pension dumped after a lifetime of labor. They are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away; in an era of stagnant wages and global competition, opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense. So when they are told to bus their children to a school across town; when they hear that an African American is getting an advantage in landing a good job or a spot in a good college because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; when they’re told that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time. Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren’t always expressed in polite company. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism."

Apparently, for a college man, Baracky just didn't pay attention to what happened in 1980 and 1984 in this country! The Reagan Coalition (Revolution) was about getting government OUT OF OUR LIVES and OUT OF OUR PAYCHECK DEDUCTIONS!

Carter's liberal government created the first landslide wherein in President Reagan won 44 States!

Reagan's majority over candidate Mondale who promised to raise taxes and expand government sky rocketed to 49 States to Mondale's 1. That being his home state of Minnesota which he carried by a slim margin of 38,000 votes!

Now B.O-bama thinks we are stupid enough to believe that the Reagan Revolution was merely the result of folks being upset over welfare and affirmative action!! You don't win 49 states without a whole lot of folks of every color and ethnic background pullin' your lever!! HORSE APPLES!

Nah that ain't strong enough --- when a politician uses race baitin', class warfare, and lies in an a sorry but obvious attempt to accuse others of the those same failings ---- that's absolute BULLSHIT!! (...and that's insultin' innocent cows!)
