By Chief Elder Osiris: Who in their Right Black Mind can make such a claim to indicate that the burden of a victory for Obama lay squarely in the Mental lap of Black People in America, why is it that the so call Afrikan American love to pretend that we Black folks matter in the game of white folks Politics and to insinuate that an Obama win will matter in a Justifying way to Black Folks in America, we acting as if it is Obama that stand between Black People and Black People receiving Justice in America, as if Obama represent the America Dream to the so call Afrikan in America. Will we ever become tired of pretending to be of significance in America politics, to the point that it matters who it is that sit in the big chair in those White folks White House, as some Phony Afrikan leaders who want to be important Negro Afrikan Americans, attempt to pin a guilt upon Black People, if Obama does not win. So I ask of your Self involved Afrikan Americans, tell me, what will Black folks gain from having an Obama victory, Mind you now, pride and bragging rights do not count, because such emotion does not change the physical dynamics that Black Folks have with Justice, Freedom, and Independence in America, such which now serve as an enemy to the so call Afrikan American, as those principals hang before the face of black Folks like Carrots that are not to be reached nor to be experienced in America. So, no matter how much those phony so call Afrikan American Leaders Play with your Head, in getting you to believe that Justice, Respect, and Equality of opportunity is just an Obama away, if you Black folks buy such lies of deception, then you really are Pitiful and relax in your dependency upon America white folks for your Livelihood, which is never enough for you to experience Justice and Freedom in America. The Audacity of some Black folks making such a claim that black people have a responsibility to go out and vote for Obama or to participate in America politics, and if you do not, and Obama lose, then the only thing you have to blame, so they say is your Black selves. So tell me, given the story of our sojourn to America, how intelligent does such a claim being made about Black People, in relationship to White folks Politics and Black folks having a need to pin blame of guilt upon Black people, if Obama lose? The last time I looked and is able to see, America still is set upon the foundation of racism, Unjustified Prejudice, and Discrimination against Black folks en mass, in America, so get away from me, you being in all of your Black high flaunting Mimicry of White people, implying that Obama represent Justice and free Will accomplishment in America for black People. Tell me, haven't you Black People been persuaded to believe and accept that America, because of Obama serving as the Democratic Nominee, that Black Folks are no longer Black and that race in America is no longer a factor, and that you Black People have been conditioned to become invisible in America, willing to jump squarely into the America Melting pot? Are you Black people so America Blind to the point that the America you long for, to impliment your dream, has long been gone, there is no more America the Republic, which never was to serve you Black people, and most certainly there is no America today, that is out to render to your Black Behind, Justice and respect, just look at what you are now praying for Obama to inherit in America, so America History can print, accusing the Fall of America on the Administration of an Obama presidency and if Mccain is elected the claim by History will say that such an econmic colasp was in motion many years prior to the McCain Presidency. Can you Understand that, Beloved. So Hell No!, do not attempt to send a guilt trip to Black folks if Racism prevail in this presidential election and if I was a betting man,I would have to put my money on racism, yet my bet would not represent my desire, which is for Obama to win. Tell me, why is it that those phony so call Black leaders, Civil rights Advocates, Black Nationalist Advocated, Pan-Afrikan Nationalist , Militants alike, who are so wrapped up in the Obama Craze, why is it that you can not become just as excited over the call for Reparation, Repatriation and our Right to become Self-govern in Afrika, with the same and with greater intensity of enthusiasm as you display over the want by you, for Obama to become America next President. a position that hold no promise to changing the Life Condition of Black people in America Capitalist system? can you Understand such a question, beloved? Be Kind to your selves, Beloved Hoteph Osiris Chief Elder fwiamsrm.com |

Dear Mrs. Everett,
On May 25, 2008 at approximately 10:57 AM, Liz Trotta on a Foxs News political show made a vile and
despicable threat that "Barack OBama and OSama both need to be killed". I find this verbal threat not only
immoral, but illegal. This type of programming has no place in broadcasting. Making off handed remarks
(threats) about Presidential Candidates has to stop. I've just file a compliant with the FCC and the Secret
Service office asking them to open an criminal investigation. I'm also asking Fox News to remove this
woman from further programming. There needs to be a apology by Fox Corporation. If an apology is not
forthcoming, there will be a boycott of Fox Corporation sponsors. I look forward in seeing Fox News
rectifying this matter immediately.
Thank You

On May 26, 1996, Mariana Cook visited Barack
and Michelle Obama in Hyde Park as part of a
photography project on couples in America .
What follows is excerpted from her interviews
MICHELLE OBAMA: There is a strong possibility that Barack will pursue a
poli tical career, although it’s unclear. There is a little tension with that. I’m
very wary of politics. I think he’s too much of a good guy for the kind of
brutality, the skepticism.
When you are involved in politics, your life is an open book, and people
can come in who don’t necessarily have good intent. I’m pretty private, and
like to surround myself with people that I trust and love. In politics you’ve
got to open yourself to a lot of different people. There is a possibility t hat
our futures will go that way, even though I want to have kids and travel,
spend time with family, and like spending time with friends. But we are
going to be busy people doing lots of stuff. And it’ll be interesting to see
what life has to offer. In many ways, we are here for the ride, just sort of
seeing what opportunities open themselves up. And the more you
experiment the easier i t is to do different things. If I had stayed in a law
firm and made partner, my life would be completely different. I wouldn’t
know the people I know, and I would be more risk-averse. Barack has
helped me loosen up and feel comfortable with taking risks, not doing
things the traditional way and sort of testing it out, because that is how he
grew up. I’m more traditional; he’s the one in the couple that, I think, is the
less traditional individual. You20can probably tell from the photographs—
he’s just more out there, more flamboyant. I’m more, like, “Well, let’s wait
and see. What did that look like? How much does it weigh?”
BARACK OBAMA: All my life, I have been stitching together a family,
through stories=2 0or memories or friends or ideas. Michelle has had a
very different background—very stable, two-parent family, mother at home,
brother and dog, living in the same house all their lives. We represent two
strands of family life in this country—the strand that is very stable and
solid, and then the strand that is breaking out of the constraints of
traditional f amilies, travelling, separated, mobile. I think there was that
strand in me of imagining what it would be like to have a stable, solid,
secure family life.
Michelle is a tremendously strong person, and has a very strong sense of
herself and who she is and where she comes from. But I also think in her
eyes you can see a trace of vulnerability that most people don t know,
because when she’s walking through the world she is this tall, beautiful,
confident woman. There is a part of her that is vulnerable and young and
sometimes frightened, and I think seeing both of those things is what
attracted me to her. And then what sustains our relationship is I’m
extremely happy with her, and part of it has to do with the fact that she is at
once completely familiar to me, so that I can be myself and she knows me
very well and I trust her completely, but at the same time she is also a
complete mystery to me in some ways. And there are times when we are
lying in bed and I look over and sort of have a start. Because I realize here
is this other person who is separate and different and has different
memories and backgrounds and thoughts and feelings. It’s that tension
between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because,
even as you build a life of trust and comfort and mutual support, you retain
some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person. ♦

thrive in the 21st century. The Recovery and Reinvestment
Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since
the Great Depression. With much at stake, the Act provides
for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability
addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can

I am always being asked to grade Obama's presidency. In
place of offering him a grade, I put together a list of his
accomplishments thus far. I think you would agree that it is
very impressive. His first six months have been even more
active than FDRs or LBJs the two standards for such
assessments. Yet, there is little media attention given to
much of what he has done. Of late, the media is focusing
almost exclusively on Obama's critics, without holding them
responsible for the uncivil, unconstructive tone of their
disagreements or without holding the previous
administration responsible for getting us in such a deep
hole. The misinformation and venom that now passes for
political reporting and civic debate is beyond description.
As such, there is a need to set the record straight. What most
impresses me is the fact that Obama has accomplished so much not
from a heavy-handed or top-down approach but from a style that has
institutionalized efforts to reach across the aisle, encourage vigorous
debate, and utilize town halls and panels of experts in the
policy-making process. Beyond the accomplishments, the process is
good for democracy and our democratic processes have been
battered and bruised in recent years.
Let me know if I missed anything in the list (surely I did).
