The Federal Deficit Will ONLY Be $1,100,000,000,000 At The End Of This Fiscal Year!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/federal-budget-deficit-to-1324772.html"&gt;Federal budget deficit to dip to $1.1T, CBO says &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a very biased article but I am going to attempt to provide analysis that wades through the spin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRANSPARENCY ALERT: WHAT I BELIEVE -&lt;br /&gt;My attendance of the "Concorde Coalition's 'Fiscal Wakeup Tour' almost 5 years ago has reset my perspective. &amp;nbsp;Long before any candidates for 2008 stepped up to the plate they told the audience the "job #1" for the next President will be to honestly level set with the American people. &amp;nbsp;They argued that for America to delay the "day of reckoning" of its fiscal collapse Americans are going to have to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Expect LESS from Government&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pay MORE in taxes until this crisis is abated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally believe that more taxes are required to abate the situation that is growing BUT history shows that if spending cuts are not cemented beforehand - the increased flow of tax money in will be used to feed the furnace with the insatiable appetite. &amp;nbsp;People argue that these two points are not mutually exclusive. &amp;nbsp;The fraudulent accounting of the federal government where a "spending cut" is not real - mandates that legitimate cuts be made as a necessary first step. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further the notion of ORGANIC GDP GROWTH as a means of revenue increase (See Bill Clinton's term) must be focused upon. &amp;nbsp;No longer can we accept promises of "spending as investments" without employing some intermediate checks (earnest money) along the way. No individual or corporation would keep pumping "investment dollars" into a portfolio that is not providing sufficient returns that they inspect in the spirit of defending their own interests. &amp;nbsp;When it comes to government money - "Federal Treasury Raiders" from the right and the left always throw in some diversionary theories to compel us to take our eye off of the bottom line (example: "Social Justice" or "National Defense").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Associated Press Article&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Associated Press tries hard to tie the "Bush Era Tax Cuts" as the main&amp;nbsp;culprit. In doing so they can't bring themselves to explain the (estimated) $850 billion in shortfall once we take away the 'Bush Tax Cuts" as a source of "revenue loss".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all comes down to one's view on spending and taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tax Cuts create deficits because the government does not have the revenues necessary to prevent deficit&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spending over and above the tax revenue digest, without curtailing the demanded "standard of living" per the concepts of "social justice" creates deficits&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is clear that the AP favors the first bullet point as they said little about how the failure to control spending, adjusting the expectations of Americans downward, in line with the actual revenues. &amp;nbsp;This coupled with a firm belief in PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS that would make a 90% marginal tax rate on ANYONE a confiscatory violation of democratic and constitutional standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The previous research of the so-called "Bush Era Tax Cut" "cost" the federal government a total of $1.8 trillion over 10 years. &amp;nbsp;This is about $180 billion per year. &amp;nbsp;Let's round this up to $200 billion per year going forward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is the impact of these "Tax Cuts For The Rich" why then did the Associated Press refer to them as the primary accelerator of the national debt but not the unmentioned $900 billion that remains on the table?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer we continue the course of "spending beyond our means" and "taxes that don't match the crisis" -the more assured that we will have a fatal failure in the future will be made so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: red;"&gt;Associated Press story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"&gt;WASHINGTON — A new budget report released Tuesday predicts the government will run a $1.1 trillion deficit in the fiscal year that ends in September, a slight dip from last year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"&gt;The Congressional Budget Office report also says&lt;b&gt; that annual deficits will remain in the $1 trillion range for the next several years if Bush-era tax cuts slated to expire in December are extended, as commonly assumed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The report is yet another reminder of the perilous fiscal situation the government is in, but it's commonly assumed that President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Congress that little will be accomplished on the deficit issue during an election year.&lt;br /&gt;The first wave of statements from lawmakers had a familiar ring as each party cast blame on the other.&lt;br /&gt;"Four straight years of trillion-dollar deficits, no credible plan to lift the crushing burden of debt," said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., "The president and his party's leaders have fallen short in their duty to tackle our generation's most pressing fiscal and economic challenges."&lt;br /&gt;"We will not solve this problem unless both sides, Democrats and Republicans, are willing to move off their fixed positions and find common ground," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D. "Republicans must be willing to put revenue on the table."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The CBO study also predicts modest economic growth of 2 percent this year and forecasts that the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent this year and next. That is based on an assumption that President Barack Obama will fail to win renewal of payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits by the end of next month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;That jobless rate is higher than the rates that contributed to losses by Presidents&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://g.ajc.com/r/GR/" style="color: #5f7387; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Jimmy Carter&lt;/a&gt;(7.5 percent) and George H.W. Bush (7.4 percent).&lt;b&gt; The study predicts unemployment to remain above roughly 5 percent — until 2016. The agency also predicts that unemployment will remain at 7 percent or above through 2015&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;The new figures also show that last summer's budget and debt pact has barely made a dent in the government's fiscal woes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The pact imposed $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years, but lawmakers are already talking about easing across-the-board spending cuts required under the agreement. &lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;The latest estimates predict $11 trillion in accumulated deficits over the 2013-2022 time frame if the Bush-era cuts in taxes on income, investments, large estates and on families with children are renewed.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;Obama has proposed largely extending them, but allowing them to expire for upper-income taxpayers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, tried but failed to reach a "grand bargain" on the deficit, an effort that got hung up over taxes and cuts to major benefit programs like Medicare. A subsequent attempt by a congressional "supercommittee" to find smaller saving sputtered over the same issues.&lt;br /&gt;What's left is a heap of unfinished business that comes to a head at the end of the year: expiring tax cuts and painful across-the-board cuts to the Pentagon and many domestic programs. To top it off, another politically toxic increase in the debt limit will be needed at some point shortly after the November elections.&lt;br /&gt;The deficit would require the government to borrow 30 cents of every dollar it spends. Put another way, the deficit will reach 7 percent of the size of the economy, a slight dip from last year's 8.7 percent of gross domestic product.&lt;br /&gt;The CBO report shows that the deficit dilemma would largely be solved if the tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 — and renewed in 2010 through the end of this year — were allowed to lapse. Under that scenario, the deficit would drop to $585 billion in 2013 and to $220 billion in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"&gt;But expiration of those tax cuts would slam the economy, CBO said, bringing growth down to a paltry 1.1 percent next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"&gt;ar but still very high by any measure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-2767360009999551003?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/2767360009999551003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=2767360009999551003' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/2767360009999551003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/2767360009999551003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2012/01/hooray-federal-deficit-will-only-be.html' title='Hooray!!!!!

Sheriee Bowman, a spokeswoman for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said that the group respected the president's right to pay tribute to King. But she suggested that the civil rights organization saw Bush's presence as politically motivated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;"We question the integrity of the timing of the move because last year at this time he took a stand against affirmative action, the Michigan case, which is part of Dr. King's legacy," she said, referring to the Supreme Court case that considered the use of race in college admissions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Read more: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/01/16/MNGSF4BHM51.DTL#ixzz1kfwIRPrr" style="color: blue;"&gt;http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/01/16/MNGSF4BHM51.DTL#ixzz1kfwIRPrr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;President Bush's visit on Thursday to observe what would have been the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 75th birthday isn't sitting well with area tribute organizers. &lt;br /&gt;They say Bush invited himself to their party and will potentially force the cancellation of some events due to security concerns. What's more, they say, Bush will profit from a fund-raiser he will piggyback with his visit to Atlanta. &lt;br /&gt;About 3:45 p.m., the president will lay a wreath at the late civil rights leader's crypt at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site. The president announced his visit on Friday. &lt;br /&gt;But the MLK March Committee, a group of area civil rights activists who worked with King, say they have worked for months on a program to honor the civil rights leader at Ebenezer Baptist Church, across the street. &lt;br /&gt;"They told us that the Secret Service wanted us out of there by 2 p.m.," said the Rev.

&amp;nbsp; It is important that no one be lulled into standing at our present point and only look forward. &amp;nbsp; This same "vision" of a better education for American children has been given in every decade. &amp;nbsp; It is more disarming than it is definitive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically the same disarmament is the spirit that allows the local adults who play the main role in the education of the children in their community off of the hook. &amp;nbsp;Instead of understanding what they NEED TO DO they are told that this is a POLITICAL STRUGGLE and that there is someone who stands in their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High tech jobs are laudable. &amp;nbsp;Yet the punitive rhetoric and indictments are counter to them being attracted to this county or for those who are here to retain their manufacturing operations in the country. &amp;nbsp; Boeing attempted to establish a second plant for their 787 Dreamliner production in the "right to work state" of South Carolina. &amp;nbsp;The Obama Administration showed that their dream of "high tech jobs" has an amount of stings attached that can strangle such growth. &amp;nbsp; Not until the labor unions from Boeing told the NLRB to let go of Boeing's neck did they agree to drop their regulatory action against Boeing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Solyndra Solar scandal shows that "high tech green jobs" can also be a gateway for crony capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched a few weeks ago as the tensions with Iran were ratcheted up as Iran made threats in the Persian Gulf. &amp;nbsp; At that time various Obama syncophants were heard warning about dependency on foreign oil. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward a few weeks and the ruling of the Keystone Pipeline we saw them cheering. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Oh yeah - Canada is indeed a "foreign nation" but it is not a hostile one. &amp;nbsp;The stores in Canada are full of American products, as if you were standing in an America city - but for some areas that have French labels next to the English. &amp;nbsp; Those who operate as if they were "Domestic Oil Production Planners In Nigeria" believe that their dream of a "green energy future" can be found by choking of domestic PRODUCTION of carbon fuels, their bigotry unable to show them that as the DEMAND remains high and the production is choked off the HIGH PRICES that "the least of these" will suffer is the racketeering and "ideological price gouging" that needs to be regulated by Obama. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Their ability to transfer their flawed theories upon some other force is how these theories are allowed to&amp;nbsp;metastasize.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-5122357113871046159?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/5122357113871046159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=5122357113871046159' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5122357113871046159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5122357113871046159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2012/01/obama-needs-to-talk-to-his-advisers-and.html' title='Obama Needs To Talk To His Advisers And Local Party Mates About His Goals'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-6762239832526126179</id><published>2012-01-23T15:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T15:23:52.109-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A "Singing Black Clown" And A Black Man Who Singing Didn't Trigger Any Attacks From MSNBC Employees And Their Syncophants</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pZe75JSXhyU" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Instead his network is just as guilty of being an extension of the Democratic Party as they accuse Fox News as being hacks for the GOP.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Credit is due to Matthews because, for the first time in Obama's term he has expressed HIS VISION of the country in a manner that is separate and distinct from Obama's vision.&amp;nbsp; In as much as he is not hearing what Obama is communicating in this area - this "constructive feedback" was necessary to provide to the Obama campaign and administration a front channel warning that he is not merely in the fight on behalf of Obama for the "fight alone".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real test of this new found consciousness in Chris Matthews will come if he shows that he is able to become the objective journalist that Larry Elder (himself not an objective journalist) challenged him to become.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We already know that Chris Matthews and the entire MSNBC establishment desire to do what they need to do to ensure a successful reelection for President Obama.&amp;nbsp; In the midst of their nightly roasts of their Conservative enemies, however we have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Three Years And Counting Of + $1.2 Trillion Budget Shortfalls&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An International Coup In Libya That They Went Along In Marketing It As A "Humanitarian Mission"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A Violation Of THEIR STANDARD Of "Due Process" As The US Military Identified "Terror Suspects" And Blew Them Up With Unmanned Drones&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;School Reform Placed On The Backburner After The Progressive-Fundamentalists Successfully Derailed "No Child Left Behind"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Inability To Link The Present Economic Collapse Of Several "Mission Accomplished Cities" With The Decades Of Growth In Their Ideological Control Over Them - Instead Of Demanding Evidence Of "Growth" From The Local People They Invested In After Being Convinced That They Are Traveling The Right Path - The Occupiers Instead Choose To Nationalize Their Indictment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Chris Matthews indicted "White voters" as having a tinge of RACISM for allowing their support for Obama to fall below 40%. &amp;nbsp; This same man is not intellectually curious enough to investigate why Black voter support remains at 91% in a recent poll despite the pain suffered.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The bottom line of all of this is - when your own vision is made subordinate to the "Political Team" that you are a part of then you also must accept that when people SEE who you are and learn that you will work for the team more than pursuing your own interests - it is YOU who have compromised yourself and you deserve to be perpetually shorted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.mrctv.org/embed/107630" title="MRC TV video player" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-4418949088794077911?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/4418949088794077911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=4418949088794077911' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/4418949088794077911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/4418949088794077911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/11/msnbcs-chris-matthews-breaks-with-his.html' title='MSNBC&apos;s Chris Matthews Breaks With His Network&apos;s Talking Points - Demands Clarity On Obama&apos;s Second Term'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/pB4b11_LREA/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-3226204477524718712</id><published>2011-11-17T17:41:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T18:15:54.245-05:00</updated><title type='text'>As Obama Expands US Military Presence In Australia And Africa The "Pragmatic Obamabots" Drop Their "Radical Anti-War Pose" For Complicity In Imperialism In Deference To Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L9VObIg2mEk" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;The Obama Presidential Term Of 2009-2013 will one day be viewed by historians as the time period where Progressives were seen yielding many of what most thought were their "core values".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must understand the mechanics of what is going on. &lt;br /&gt;On my sister blog "Within The Black Community" I document how Black, otherwise Progressive individuals are made to remain strangely silent as the US government does things domestically and the "American Military War Machine" does other things internationally that would have otherwise had them taking to the streets. &amp;nbsp; With the US military having bombed an African nation while participating in a coup against a sovereign nation it is unthinkable that any other US President could have gotten away with such an action except for a scant amount of protests from certain diehards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note - as part of my longitudinal study on "What makes the Black Progressive Political Discourse Tick" I attended an "Anti-Libya War" presentation. &amp;nbsp;At the end of this program in which they noted that Ronald Reagan had lead the original desecration of Libya by dropping a bomb in Gaddahfi's living room, killing one of his daughters - they noted that Obama had blown the entire house up, killing his son and other relatives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, however, at the end of the program - there was consensus among the crowd of speakers that they are STILL going to vote for Obama in 2012 over any Republican alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though Obama is acting like a Republican Imperialist - they agreed that he was better than having a "Complete Ideological Adversary" in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The root of their compromised state then is that they, unlike Martin Luther King Jr who they praise for his integrity - value "DOMESTIC SOCIAL JUSTICE" over being true to their calling on the international scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus - GREATER than their core interests in retaining their integrity to "Progressivism" is their defense against the Conservative adversary. &amp;nbsp; Specifically - Black people can be compelled prioritize just about anything IF the situation is framed as a "Racial Threat". &amp;nbsp;Regardless of the results had by the "favorable machine in power" (see Detroit) the Embedded Confidence Man Messaging Machine will convince the masses that things would be even worse if the enemy was in power. &amp;nbsp;Not only would their Permanent Interests be shattered - they would also experience the grief of seeing the ideological enemy in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Same Model, Expanded To All Progressives Nationally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journalist George S Schuyler noted that there is no "Black Progressive Movement" in the 1940s Harlem, there is ONLY a "Progressive Movement". &amp;nbsp;That Blacks had no specific and custom outcomes that they sought that could be distinguished from their White counterparts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Schuyler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logic holds then that the same behavior that is noted among "Black Progressive-Fundamentalists" can also be noted among Progressives of any race in America when it comes to Obama and his military expansion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though "Tax The Rich" and "Scale Down The US Military, Bringing Our Imperialist Troops Home" were two key platforms for progressives in their deficit reduction plan - with Obama as the Commander In Chief it is far easier for them to stand behind him and help him fight for "Tax Increases On The 1%" than they &amp;nbsp;are able to stand strongly opposed to Obama for his latest military expansion efforts both in Australia and Eastern Africa. &amp;nbsp;(We should also include the expansion of the CIA in East Africa as the unarmed Drones over Ethiopia belong to the CIA. &amp;nbsp;The key difference between the CIA drones and the US Military Drones is that the mod kit to add weapons have not been applied - as of yet).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While many progressive find mental solace in the notion that there is a "hidden hand" force that forces the hand of Obama, compelling him to do things that are "not in his progressive nature" - the truth is that these forces, if they exist - should be watching how much easier it is for them to carry out imperialist operations when there is a "Favorable Commander In Chief" that the Anti-War Left is not going to run a propaganda campaign against.&lt;br /&gt;The Good Ole Days When The Anti-War Left Were Free To Be Themselves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ypYgRuS6HsE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-3226204477524718712?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/3226204477524718712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=3226204477524718712' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/3226204477524718712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/3226204477524718712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/11/as-obama-expands-us-military-presence.html' title='As Obama Expands US Military Presence In Australia And Africa The &quot;Pragmatic Obamabots&quot;

I learned about it from my additional research on Ella Baker - the name that rolls off of the lips of so many Black activist progressives today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;W.W.E.B.D.A.T.N.C.I.L.T.?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;("What Would Ella Baker Do About The NATO Coup In Libya Today?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no intention of hijacking anything about Ella Baker's legacy, presupposing that I could predict what she would do if she were alive today. &amp;nbsp;In fact I hate it when people try to do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead it is far more interesting to make reference to a figure that various Black Progressive-Fundamentalists from Van Jones to certain spoken word artists use and then contrast her views about Imperialism In Africa against the views held today by people who do try to walk in her shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: red;"&gt;It was the Wikipedia entry about Ella Baker that I learned:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(Demons meaning the choice to remain dogmatically "progressive" versus politically expedient loyal Democrats - as the force cast by the Republican enemy justify "right-wing" actions done in the name of protection).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Did The Agenda Of Italy And Europe Change Over Africa In 75 Years Since The Second Italo-Abyssinian War?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

has been in touch with the Khans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsday.com/topics/American_Civil_Liberties_Union"&gt;ACLU&lt;/a&gt; Deputy Legal Director Jameel Jaffer criticized the killings: "The government's authority to use lethal force against its own citizens should be limited to circumstances in which the threat to life is concrete, specific and imminent."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to credit President Obama for learning the hand that he was dealt and adeptly using it. &amp;nbsp; On the one hand he has the advantage of hindsight to understand the mistakes made by the Bush Administration on the subject of handling of terror suspects and the progressive flash back it triggered. &amp;nbsp; Secondly Obama is keenly aware that his left-wing base is loathed to stand against him and he is able to cross a line that is further beyond where Bush could have gone with reference to the Left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EjVKpgNy8N8/To7VE3V7FLI/AAAAAAAAFiA/I_5g5hYdBGY/s1600/American+Terrorists.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EjVKpgNy8N8/To7VE3V7FLI/AAAAAAAAFiA/I_5g5hYdBGY/s400/American+Terrorists.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By killing terror suspects Obama has destroyed the being that the ACLU and others can claim 'habeas corpus" over. &amp;nbsp;The suspect's body has been blown to bits and thus there is no body that they can demand due process for any longer. &amp;nbsp; It effectively "cuts to the chase" and closes the debate. &amp;nbsp; Where as Bush had - a prison and several human beings alive who can give testimony to the ACLU lawyers - under Obama the ACLU only has body fragments and their words are inadmissible in court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an ironic turn of events the JingOists use Obama's boldness to note that his right wing critics don't give him CREDIT for being strong. &amp;nbsp; In their own dishonesty they move from the debate over justifications and/or due process and instead render an indictment against their enemies charging them with "moving the goal posts" in their willingness to accept Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In their own bigoted blindness they can't see that now BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ARE IN AGREEMENT OVER KILLING TERRORISTS. &amp;nbsp; Ironically Obama brought the left MORE RIGHTWARD!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what happens when you have "Permanent Friends" rather than "Permanent Interests". &amp;nbsp;You begin to "take one for the team" but that ONE becomes a total compromise as the transactions continue to flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not at the point of attempting to figure out "What Can Obama DO Before The Left Will Rise Up Against Him?"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-4136072055694169195?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/4136072055694169195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=4136072055694169195' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/4136072055694169195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/4136072055694169195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/10/due-process-for-american-terrorists-in.html' title='Due Process For &quot;American Terrorists&quot;

For far too many people this is an impossible measure for them to live up to.Since most of their stances are rendered in INDICTMENTS - they count on the fact that their fellow travelers will never point out their inconsitency. For years we have heard the Progressive-Fundamentalist Left argue that the "Supplimental Spending Authorizations" used to fund the war operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through the Bush Administration were wrong because this spended was non-budgeted.  Even though this argument makes no sense since CONGRESS must approve every penny spent by the executive branch - it is merely a nitpicking argument.   The money still ends up in the American debt tally.Fast forward to today.In addition to a $768 billion stimulus package from a few years ago, their darling, President Obama now proposes a $447 billion "Jobs Program".  I know this because I have seen the new Democratic National Committee commercials that are pressing Americans to demand support for this bill running on television no less than 4 times since last night.I don't know a lot of things but one thing I do know is that we are NOT going to hear these same critics of "off budget spending" stand against this latest spending proposal by Obama.

text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; It cost $1 billion as compared to Iraqi's $1 trillion&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It cost not American lives while Iraq cost 5,000&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It was done at a strategic pace and not forced into action via arrogance and incompetence &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It was able to gain the complicit cover of the United Nations, certain members of the Arab League and of course 4 African Colonizers from Europe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The one thing that Mr Zakaria never got around to in his article (nor will he on his Sunday show on CNN) is JUSTIFYING this bombing raid on the sovereign nation of Libya.&amp;nbsp; The fact that it was sold to Americans as a "Humanitarian Aid Mission" didn't seem to bother Zakaria in the least. &amp;nbsp; The fact that it was logistically possible for America and the powers of NATO to make 17,000 bombing raids in the air to destroy a nation in Africa thus proving European and Western Military Supremacy over all others is a foregone conclusion that Zakaria&amp;nbsp; never needed to mention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greater difference between Iraq and Libya is that the New York Times, Washington Post nor any "mainstream" media source will need to later apologize for failing to scrutinize what they were sold as a justification for war and then later participating in the jingoism that ensued.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As Zakaria said - Americans like to win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the US military learned from the mistakes in Iraq and chose to use Libyan Rebels to do the ground killing - I hope that with the "next next war" that the American anti-war progressives will also learn from Libya and either give the enemy president the same cover as they did Obama or they realize that the friendly president, if not challenged is going to keep taking the nation into "efficient wars".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1545357638"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1545357639"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-3123259754253572351?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/3123259754253572351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=3123259754253572351' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/3123259754253572351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/3123259754253572351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/08/commander-in-chief-obama-more-efficient.html' title='Commander In Chief Obama - The More Efficient Imperialist Compared To Bush'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EtSy8ntAZFs/Tll6n6czCkI/AAAAAAAAFMQ/1XUG5gvE7m4/s72-c/Time.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-7387853107059448742</id><published>2011-08-24T07:20:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T07:20:01.816-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Gaddahfi Bought Into "Hope &amp;

Both are the worst numbers of his presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's approval rating has hovered in the 40% range for much of 2011, peaking at 53% in the weeks following the death of Osama bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Americans' view of his job performance continued to tick downward as the debt-ceiling debate heated up. By the time he signed legislation averting a federal default, he was mired in the low-40% range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The polling setback comes as the Republican race to unseat him has kicked into overdrive. The past week has been dominated by the activity in Iowa ahead of the Ames Straw Poll, and the entrance of a new contender in Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The candidates have routinely assailed Obama's leadership in appealing to conservative activists who dominate this stage of the nominating contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is set to launch something of a counter-offensive on Monday with a three-day bus tour of the Midwest, a trip that includes two stops in Iowa. The White House denied that the itinerary was politically motivated, however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three-day tracking poll was conducted from Aug. 11-13&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-7532067119731775848?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/7532067119731775848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=7532067119731775848' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/7532067119731775848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/7532067119731775848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/08/obamas-approval-rating-hits-41-racism.html' title='Obama&apos;s Approval Rating Hits 41% - Racism Grows In America'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2u8gWXsx86w/Tkl7L9w_WlI/AAAAAAAAE0c/JMqSxppK29Y/s72-c/Obama+Approval.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-3201628132910522566</id><published>2011-08-10T05:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-10T05:07:48.208-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mike Luckovich On Obama's Skill At Compromise</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8gjkkWv7PXo/Tjwn2dycnzI/AAAAAAAAEvY/Tj1kZThdWcs/s1600/Obama+Effective.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="312" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8gjkkWv7PXo/Tjwn2dycnzI/AAAAAAAAEvY/Tj1kZThdWcs/s320/Obama+Effective.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I remember when President George W. Bush was in office and failing miserably on what appeared to be all fronts. &lt;b&gt;He would calmly rest on the belief that history would be on his side years down the road. I think that this statement does not apply to George W. Bush but it will for President Barack Obama. &lt;/b&gt;If you look at the record, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;Obama has been able to accomplish things that have been beneficial to those on the left, the right and in the middle.&lt;/span&gt; I sense that people are genuinely frustrated with President Obama's temperament. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: red;"&gt;He is calculating, thoughtful and willing to compromise.&lt;/span&gt; In my opinion that is what leadership is all about. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;I also think that he has been hamstrung by jealous politicians, like Senator Mitch McConnell, who would love to see him be a one term president.&lt;/span&gt; President Obama has navigated these waters with grace, class and thoughtfulness. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: red;"&gt;This current political dilemma reminds me of one the wise Biblical figure of Solomon faced with two women claiming to be the mother of the baby brought before him. The women demanded that he act swiftly and make a definitive ruling as to who should have custody. However, his answer was shocking and seemed unwise and unethical, divide it into equal parts.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: blue;"&gt;President Obama has had to deal with politicians, who like the fake mother claim most virulently to know what is in the country's best interest even if that means our nation's demise. They have an attitude of "if i can't have it...no one can." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;President Obama has had to be patient and delicate in letting people play their political cards, allowing them to reveal their true intentions. The real fear opponents of President Obama have is what are the cards he is saving for his next term in office, immigration reform perhaps? Politics is an ugly spectacle for most because the true intentions and motives of people are rarely discussed honestly.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: red;"&gt; I continue to believe that President Obama has the best interest of our entire nation in mind and that may be what scares people so much!&lt;/span&gt; I also believe that in 2012 he will have ample opportunities to reiterate his positions and bring to light the tactics and motivations of those who sought to &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;stand in the way of our nation's progress.&lt;/span&gt; I won't miss him because I don't believe he is going anywhere and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;I'm looking forward to his second term in office! &lt;/span&gt;The righteous are typically the ones willing to compromise and let go of the political baby!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Mr Cook he does not require the use of statics and measures to apprise the actual effectiveness of President Obama. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is little doubt that the war-making in Libya based on false pretenses of "Humanitarian Aide" won't ever appear on Mr Cook's radar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I read the logic of a person like Cook I am less troubled with what he believes than I am what he might ALLOW TO BE DONE by Obama - all because Cook believes that "Obama is working in the best interests of the nation" and those of us who are on the look out merely have ill-intent for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly after 2 terms in office and a Constitutional prohibition on power - Cook will seek out another Progressive leaders to latch onto. &amp;nbsp;The RESULTS don't matter. &amp;nbsp;Only the intentions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who fold their persona upon a politician or an organization scare me the most. &amp;nbsp; Don't expect any independent thought from them - even when the 'constructive feedback' of the real world data is telling them to "Pull Up!! Mountain ahead".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-2722028611494828211?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/2722028611494828211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=2722028611494828211' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/2722028611494828211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/2722028611494828211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/08/stunning.html' title='Stunning'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8gjkkWv7PXo/Tjwn2dycnzI/AAAAAAAAEvY/Tj1kZThdWcs/s72-c/Obama+Effective.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-5453461529486287648</id><published>2011-08-05T09:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T09:56:03.732-04:00</updated><title type='text'>More Effective Than Reagan - Now Two Of Gaddahfi's Relatives Have Been Killed By American &amp; NATO Air Raids</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/08/05/libyan-rebel-spokesman-nato-raid-kills-qaddafis-son/"&gt;Libyan Rebel Spokesman: NATO Raid Kills Qaddafi's Son&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://a57.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/World/396/223/062811_qaddafi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://a57.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/World/396/223/062811_qaddafi.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.popeve.org/wp-content/uploads/2011-07-29T171501Z_2113035106_GM1E77U00X701_RTRMADP_3_LIBYA_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="159" src="http://www.popeve.org/wp-content/uploads/2011-07-29T171501Z_2113035106_GM1E77U00X701_RTRMADP_3_LIBYA_0.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20110730/600_tv_set_110730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="179" src="http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20110730/600_tv_set_110730.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-5453461529486287648?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/5453461529486287648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=5453461529486287648' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5453461529486287648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5453461529486287648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-effective-than-reagan-now-two-of.html' title='More Effective Than Reagan - Now Two Of Gaddahfi&apos;s Relatives Have Been Killed By American &amp; NATO Air Raids'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-2596126195208097949</id><published>2011-08-05T08:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T08:40:55.675-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Cheshire Obama - "You Didn't Ask Me To Define 'Hope &amp; Change' With Specifics Before Making Your Investment In Me.

 &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td&gt;War Powers Vote&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td&gt;In the Post-9/11 Congress - Rep Wynn made the mistake of believing that the call for "national unity" against our common enemies would carry into the 4th district. &amp;nbsp;Wynn authorized President George W Bush to use force in the nation of Afghanistan. &amp;nbsp; From this action his long time challenger Donna Edwards labeled him "Bush's Boy" in her campaigns to unseat him by hitting him from the hard left.&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td&gt;In 2011 as Commander In Chief Obama initated the NATO war upon the African nation of Libya - when the question of support for the military action by supplying the money came up - Rep Donna Edwards put aside any pretenses of being "anti-war" and instead chose to support the violent military action because Obama told her that it was a "Humanitarian Mission". &amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td&gt;The Economic Impact Upon The Black Community&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td&gt;The Edwards campaign accused Wynn of being too cozy with corporations as he used his influence to attract "big box stores" into Prince Georges County MD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Keep in mind folks - that if Home Depot and others did not come into the county - Edwards would have likely been leading the charge claims that these firms had a "No Urban Mandate". &amp;nbsp;This proves that there is a great disconnect between various leftist initiatives)&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td&gt;Donna Edwards marched in a rally in support of rights for illegal immigrants. &amp;nbsp;She had nothing to worry about in explaining any impact suffered by Black people seeking employment and having more individuals to compete with. &amp;nbsp;Perceived "Discrimination" trumps economic interests for many Black Progressives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I was looking for her march in support of illegal alien labor but she moved it off of her old campaign web site)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

To support Israel and to ease the humanitarian crisis facing the people of Gaza, the United States must work actively for an immediate ceasefire that ends the violence, stops the rockets, and removes the blockade of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;That's much further than most national Democrats have been willing to go. &amp;nbsp;And it illustrates that&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;primary challenges can -- slowly but meaningfully -- change the face of the&amp;nbsp;Democratic&amp;nbsp;Party.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote style="margin-left:

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama Sr, father of Commander In Chief Barack Obama Jr, suffered greatly at the hands of his own father Hussein Onyango Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though many of the reports about Hussein Onyango Obama detail his time spent imprisoned by the colonial British government in Kenya - it appears that the elder Obama had done his fair share of oppression of his own wife and children. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In 1949, Onyango spent at least 6 months in Kamiti Prison. He was probably tried in a magistrates’ court on charges of political sedition or membership of a banned organisation, but the records do not survive, because all such documentation was routinely destroyed in British colonies after six years. He was violently tortured to extract information about the growing insurgency.[64] In his memoir, President Obama described his grandfather's shocking physical state: "When he returned to Alego he was very thin and dirty. He had difficulty walking, and his head was full of lice." For some time, he was too traumatized to speak about his experiences. His wife told his grandson: "From that day on, I saw that he was now an old man."[62] Onyango was permanently scarred, remaining in pain and requiring assistance moving until his death. Although previously working very closely with British colonists, his torture left Onyango bitterly anti-British. During a Sky News interview in 2009, Barack Obama was asked if this negatively affected his view of the British personally and he replied that it did not. "I love the Brits and I think I have shown that affection every time I have visited there. The notion that I would somehow judge countries based on what happened 100 years ago would not make much sense."[65]&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual - THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT THE OBAMA FAMILY.&lt;br /&gt;Absent the goal of INDICTING a target - none of the usual suspects will listen to this audio report and seek to impugn the present occupant of the White House based on the patterns of his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me - I wish that Commander In Chief Obama did have more connectivity with the people of Africa, more than the "Birthers" allege that he has.  If this were the case he would not be commanding the US Military forces to reign violence down upon Libya and Somalia, instead he would be providing them with real humanitarian aid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Hussein Obama loathed the actions of the imperialists of the past - why would his grandson execute upon the same violation of the Motherland?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-290116047681920793?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/290116047681920793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=290116047681920793' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/290116047681920793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/290116047681920793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/07/hussein-onyango-obama-should-fear-not.html' title='Hussein Onyango Obama Should Fear Not Being Portrayed As A &quot;Prescott Bush&quot;

He advised Obama during his 2004 Senate race and was senior economic policy adviser during the 2008 presidential campaign and has served on the three-member economic council since the start of the administration.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-5704267496324258625?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/5704267496324258625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=5704267496324258625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5704267496324258625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5704267496324258625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/06/obamas-top-economic-advisor-goolsbee.html' title='Obama&apos;s Top Economic Advisor Goolsbee Departing After Less Than 10 Months On The Job'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-3327968297678070888</id><published>2011-06-06T16:30:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-06-06T16:30:39.070-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Appraising Rather Than Praising Obama - Reviewing The 2008 Promises Made By Obama - Doing What The "Obama Fist Bump Black Press" Won't Do</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/5580817/2008-Democratic-Party-Platform-Renewing-Americas-Promise"&gt;The 2008 Democratic Platform - Renewing America's Promise&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark this as the kick off of my review of where we as a nation (and a people) stand as compared to what we chose to paint upon the "Blank Canvas" that we were handed in 2008 to express our dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind - that absent some identification of greater values to attach your own appraisal to - we merely have a "transaction debate" - a "pissing contest" if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me - the primary point of appraisal is: &amp;nbsp;"Does a people who are exposed to a certain process and platform show evidence of ORGANIC INCREASE after having been bathed their hope and consciousness in such a plan for their uplift?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to accept that some people value being "in receipt of" the state of a guaranteed standard of living as part of societal social justice. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me I believe that it is ultimately "mutually exclusive" to expect to live at a higher standard of living than what the resident competencies within your community can lift you. &amp;nbsp;The very institutions that you have struggled to take control over - FAILING - to hone the people that they treat into the professional service agents that the community needs for its uplift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a america's="" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/5580817/2008-Democratic-Party-Platform-Renewing-Americas-Promise" on="" promise"="" renewing="" scribd"="" style="-x-system-font: none;

said the USA will be seen from the perspective of “Before Obama and &lt;b&gt;After Obama&lt;/b&gt;”. &amp;nbsp;This blog is necessary to hold the various conspiracy theories that exist where the US Government is viewed as the force of evil around the world up to scrutiny against the fact that now there is a president in office who is loved by the left and thus should be working to "Make the American Government Law Abiding" once again...or if the theories are just bitter words crafted by partisan hacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The JingOism Journal&lt;/span&gt;JingOism = The setting aside of all of one's progressive values regarding the limits upon American emperialist actions globally and one's willingness to "Speak Truth To Power" with respect to the present economic and employment struggles suffered by "The Least Of These" for no other reason than the assumption that if the progressive base does make these demands of Commander In Chief Obama this criticism might strengthen his ideological enemies thus they logically justify the compromise of their own ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the proforma views mentioned by Spike Lee has run its course, the real world events making them&amp;nbsp;unfulfillable I have decided to update this blog and its branding accordingly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note: THIS BLOG STILL AIN'T ABOUT OBAMA!!!!! &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I am not interested in looking at Obama as I am LOOKING AT YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spike Lee was correct with regards to a new interval of time having been entered into. &amp;nbsp;The point that he missed is that this time period would also be known as the "GREAT EXPOSE` ", where many believes that were assumed about "The Least Of These" are stripped bare, their real sentiments being exposed based on what they are willing to COMPROMISE out of the foundational issues that were once thought to be an&amp;nbsp;intractable&amp;nbsp;part of their soul and consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth what we see that that their PROTECTION of their PERMANENT FRIENDS are far more important than the attainment of their PERMANENT INTERESTS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Middle East Envoy George Mitchell Resigns His Post In The Obama Administration As A Sign Of The Derailment Of The US Mid-East Policy</title><content type='html'>Just as Commander In Chief Obama prepares to make a new speech over the US relationship with the forces in the Middle East there has been more focus on Donald Trumps hairdo than on the news that Middle East Envoy George Mitchell has resigned his post. &amp;nbsp; This is normally taken as a sign of frustration and disillusionment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/14/world/middleeast/14mitchell.html?_r=1"&gt;Amid Impasse in Peace Negotiations, America’s Chief Middle East Envoy Resigns &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/05/14/world/14mitchell/14mitchell-articleLarge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="186" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/05/14/world/14mitchell/14mitchell-articleLarge.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The news of Mr. Mitchell’s departure, while not a surprise, broke at an awkward time. His resignation is effective next Friday, the same day Mr. Obama is to meet at the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, with whom the president has had an icy, if polite, relationship. Yet the date on Mr. Mitchell’s brief resignation letter, which the White House released late Friday afternoon, is April 6, five weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the letter, Mr. Mitchell, 77, said he had initially agreed to do what the president called “the toughest job imaginable” for only two years. He largely abandoned his diplomatic efforts after a failed push last year to persuade Israel to freeze the construction of settlements in territories claimed by the Palestinians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Mitchell last visited the region in December, even as divisions between the Israelis and Palestinians hardened and hostilities deepened. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton appointed his deputy, David Hale, to take over as acting envoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Mitchell’s resignation comes at a time when the Middle East has been transformed by popular uprisings that have toppled aging autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt, prompted a NATO-led air war against Libya and led to harsh crackdowns in Syria and Bahrain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House has announced that Mr. Obama plans to address the region in the wake of the upheaval — and the death of Osama bin Laden — in a speech on Thursday at the State Department. Coming a day before Mr. Netanyahu’s visit, it could set the stage for further disagreements. Mr. Obama was also scheduled to meet Tuesday with King Abdullah II of Jordan.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885780636057251320-5900342218744964472?l=afterobama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/feeds/5900342218744964472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885780636057251320&amp;postID=5900342218744964472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5900342218744964472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885780636057251320/posts/default/5900342218744964472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afterobama.blogspot.com/2011/05/middle-east-envoy-george-mitchell.html' title='Middle East Envoy George Mitchell Resigns His Post In The Obama Administration As A Sign Of The Derailment Of The US Mid-East Policy'/><author><name>Constructive Feedback</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mNAOq8ApgBA/R5_KHHEGqSI/AAAAAAAAAEY/G5kZ229cdWA/S220/blackman.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885780636057251320.post-702260412759285208</id><published>2011-05-18T00:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-18T00:14:24.411-04:00</updated><title type='text'>What If Black Leaders In New Orleans Who Put Their Mayor On A "Performance Plan" Did The Same For Commander In Chief Obama?</title><content type='html'>In New Orleans: &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/05/african_american_leadership_pr_1.html"&gt;African American Leadership Project Sets Bar For Mayor Landrieu's Second Year In Office&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.nola.com/crime_impact/photo/8538509-small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://media.nola.com/crime_impact/photo/8538509-small.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In America:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Time: &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2069445,00.html"&gt;Bin Laden Is Dead.

Please don't start saying race doesn't matter and I'll vote and think w/o race in mind, because at the end of the day this affects you and your children. It is disadvantageous for you as a black woman not consider race, because at the end of the day most people will consider race when they consider you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the black community reacts to Pres.Barack Obama affects how much the larger community feels they can REVEAL about how they feel about Obama. It would be nice to live in a world where blacks could be differentiated, but that is sadly not the case, and the success of this presidency has implications for the obstacles faced in front of blacks in the generations to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People complain, but overall if you were to list everything he has done over these few years you would see a very massive list with practically everything he had promised to do. Don't project your hate and issues with black men and women on our president. Get over your daddy issues see things objectively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect that you are one of those blacks that felt they never meshed with blacks around them. And you've decided to mesh with a group of whites within an ideology that uses you as little more than a tool and a puppet, that would have little use for you if we didn't have a black president or you were no longer willing to stick to the script(i.e. Michael Steele). Whites love a good black-on-black squabble, and you are really pleasing them right now."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leadership of Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and Atlanta operated with the "greatest of intentions" for Black folks as well.
