I opened TownHall.com up this morning and the first item to catch my eye was entitled: "Ex-mentor: Sharpton is Obama's link to the streets". The mentor is Charles Ogletree, Harvard Law professor and friend of Obamanation. The quote at a Black (money raising) Pity Party conference was:
"Al Sharpton has become the lightning rod in moving Obama's agenda forward," Ogletree told the AP, describing Sharpton as a conduit between the disadvantaged and powerful leaders. "And he has access to both the streets and the suites, to make sure that the people who are voiceless, faceless and powerless finally have some say."
In my ole' head, Al (Sharpie) Sharpton is as 'close to the streets' as Jerimiah (God Damn America)Wright is to the Bible.
The annual cost of Sharpie's haircuts and suits could feed an entire housing project's tenants for that same year!
Instead of all these Reality Shows on TV, they ought to put two folks like Sharpton and Sen Chuck Schumer on a stage - equidistant from a mike and a TV Camera - and let them battle it out for possession!
Here's a link to the full article!
