Obama new speech

I unfortunately did not get to hear all of the speech but what I did hear was very poignant. His new speech was offering clarity on the recent attack on Pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr. The media main point was they wanted Obama to completely disown Pastor Wright and the church that he had been attending for the past 20 years. Obama key points was that he did not agree with something he heard from his pastor, but the man was considered family in his life and he would not disown him like he would not disown his white grandmother because of her fear of black people walking by or her making racial comments.

Every week Obama has to defend who he is and what he believes in. To give a few examples the first is:

1. Is he black enough? Because he has a white mother that makes the man not black enough?

2. Is he to white? Now that's a first, no matter how white you act you can believe one thing white people will never let you forget you are black.

3. Is he Muslim? I think that has truly been established from him attending his Christin base church for 20 years.

I am not surprise that he is receiving such attention, he is the first black american who may get the democratic nomination. Should we expect anything less?

March Madness is Here!

March madness is here again this might be one of the best seasons yet.
The four number one seeds are North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis and UCLA.
Tennessee has done something very unique, they have team in each bracket. East bracket is Tennessee, Midwest is Vanderbilt, South is Memphis and west is Belmont. Wouldn't it be great if it were a Tennessee year? Watch out for Memphis and Tennessee I think that these teams have a good shot to make the sweet 16, possible go all the way, so everyone buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Memphis, murders just keep happening!

When I moved to Memphis, TN in 2003 I thought it would be a great place to make a name for myself. I heard about the city and its reputations said it was a tough town. I generally am not a news watcher but imagine my horror, my first week in Memphis the news reported 7 murders in July. I was wondering what did I get myself into? Within the last couple of months Memphis is gaining star status not from Beale street or the Blues, but from "murder".


The Lester Street Killing was a massacre that involved 4 adults and 2 children . This happened because Jessie Dotson, 33 who was release from prison August 2007 for murder; had a disagreement with his bother Cecil Dotson and killed him and everyone in the house so they could not identify him. His mistake was that 2 children survived the attack and identified the killer.
Once again Memphis keeps gaining attentions for what they continue to do, and that is kill. Memphis has gain a reputation for having filed more Bankruptcy's, having the most obese and one of the most stressed cities to live in.

To make matters on February 12, 2008 30-year-old James Hawkins had chopped off his girlfriends head, hand and feet and dumped the body in Mississippi River. The sad point to this story is that the father made the daughter help him dispose of the body after he killed the mother.

One last story to ad fuel to the fire, their have been 2 separte incidents of school shootings over a disagreement, funny kids don't fight any more/they shoot. Now on occasion if they do fight the looser still will shoot as well. If the rod had not been spared then we would not have this problem.

The reason that I wrote the story is what is Mayor Herenton going to do to solve this problem that Memphis has? I wish that it was only a Memphis problem but when you look at the top 10 list of dangerous cities Memphis is number 6 and Miami number 9. So what is that telling you, the world is in tormoil and all these violent crimes being commited every day is is a sign of the times!

Ferro says Obama attack her because she was white

Geraldine Ferraro says Obama would not be a candidate if he were white. The comment does not give the american people credit for knowing who and what a good candidate is. So for all the white american people who believe in Obama whats wrong with them can they not see? Or has the
United States been taking in by Obama beautiful black skin. Funny Why didn't Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton have the same effect? They are black right? Although after Ferraro attack on Obama because he is black, she raises a white flag stating "he attacked her because she was white". Ms Ferraro thats far from the truth, you threw the first rock. I wonder if you had not opened your big mouth would you still have your job? I don't think Obama would have even acknowledged you. Since Obama attacked you because you were white does that mean Clinton was attacking you because you were a woman because she disagreed with you?

Your thoughts are absurd, and that is why the citizens of the United States are looking for a change. You may not be prejudice but your kind of backward thinking is what we are trying to get away from...

Governor Eliot Spitzer steps down

N.Y. Eliot Spitzer has stepped down as governor and apologizes after he was linked to prostitution ring, of course this was the same gentleman who made it his life to catch the bad guys, now look at him.
I don't know if anyone is really is looking at the picture but at the time that he was locking up the bad guys for the same thing, he was getting his freak on. His inauguration as governor did not stop his lust for prostitution.

Governor Spitzer wife has stuck with him when it is obvious of her hurt and destivation, many women say that they would leave. What would you as women do?

1) Would you stand by your man?

2) Throw everything away, with divorce?

Obama Vice President?

After hearing Hillary Clinton suggestion that she did not think that Obama was ready to be president; but then makes a statement that he would be a perfect candidate for vice-president contradicts what she said. The point that he is good enough to be number 2 but not good enough to be number one does not add up. The dream team concept is a great ideal, almost a guaranteed winner if they team up. The issues at hand is that Hillary is saying that Obama is not qualified to be number one, but he would be great for number 2, What? I like Obamas come back "How can number 2 offer number one a position"? Why beat a person down one minute then build praise them the next? The super delegates vote Clinton has 237, Obama 207. Pledge votes Obama 1404 and Clinton 1243. Total for Obama 1,611 and Clinton 1,480.

This means this race is close, we had a race like this 8 years ago when Bush became president. Over all Clinton has won where she needed to win, in the big states. Obama has won more poplar votes. He has done something that no other black man in history has ever done, he has transcended race. His message is clear and he not only has black votes, he is gaining votes from all races. This is not a black man running for President but a man with a plan... "Change" I like Clinton, she is a strong candidate and will I will support her if Obama does not get the nod. Personally Obama or Clinton will would make a great President, or Vice-President. I am just waiting to see who. Can any one tell me why the Republican Nomination needs less votes?

Gee Wiz

You know in a few days I will be 45 years old. Although there are somethings that has managed to stick with me as I have grown into a adult. This song was really nothing special when it first came out but it was to me. It made such an impression on me as a child of what I wanted a woman to feel for me, that I just had to share it again. The songs today have a lot of feelings but will they last 10, 20 or even 30 years later? The biggest compliment that a man can ever receive from a woman is that se says "thanks for coming into my life" Sometimes I am just soft like that. I hope you enjoy!
