Pimp This, Senator Obama

"While the candidate has adopted some of the 'tough love' rhetoric proffered by legendary comedian Bill Cosby (the sort of thing that prompted corporate blackmailer and poverty pimp Jesse Jackson to declare that he wanted to castrate Obama), the expected sagacious proposals for rousing black Americans to greater participation in the American Dream are as elusive as his grand design for 'Change' in America. If inspiring talk was all that blacks needed, Jesse would have accomplished this decades ago.

"Unfortunately – as is not surprising to many of us – Obama’s vision for American blacks doesn’t seem any more, well, visionary than was Bill Clinton’s or any other Democrat’s over the last 40 years. This might seem a tad strange considering that we’re dealing with a person steeped in a theology which teaches that being black is the black man’s 'ultimate reality' (James Cone, Black Theology, Black Power, Orbis, 1997.). Judging from his nebulous, boilerplate far Left oratory, which includes such things as taxing corporations, the evil, faceless 'rich' and cyclopean spending proposals for domestic and foreign poverty programs, it doesn’t appear that blacks can expect any more from Barack Obama than his perpetuating the institutions and cultural subversions that have kept so many black Americans poor and ignorant while incrementally degrading the spirit of those who aren’t as yet in that position."
