It Is Not Too Late To Score A Victory
and To Retain Your Crown President
Obama!
Four years ago, I disagreed with the majority of my peers about presidential candidate Barack Obama. I explained to all of them, that one speech at a Democratic Convention, “did not a President make”. Now, to about 75% of my challengers, my protest fell on death ears. Why? Roughly 75% of my challengers were black.
And in the manner that white people had historically voted for whites in the past, now finally, it was the black man and woman's turn to pay them back and vote, from what I could tell, for a black man. Actually he was not 100% black, however, half and half qualified him to be classified as black by most whites and blacks.
And of course, if you ask the average black man what color Jesus was, they would tell you that he was black! And if you asked a non-black person what color Jesus was, they would say, 'he wasn't black'!
I am beginning to sound like a broken record I know, however, as far as I was concerned, I didn't care what color he was – I simply believed that the man needed to acquire more experience, so that he would not end up hurting the rest of us anymore than we had already been hurt by the Republicans and their insouciant leaders.
Come on now, Vice President Dan Quayle, George H. Bush Jr., Sarah Palin on deck …?
Well, my prediction that he needed 4 more years to get ready to become President, and that he should have been an understudy on then Senator Candidate Hillary Clinton's ticket, may have proven to be right. Here we are 3 years later, well close enough, and the President has finally begun to sound presidential. Last night, in his most recent fight with the obstructionist's on the Right, the President told them that they had until midnight, well 24 more hours to either get on board, or to get out of town.
Alright now, I thought, the man finally stood up, and began to sound Presidential. Look, the President needs to leave that suave nice boy sophisticate persona, back at Harvard, and get some swagger. Why? We don't need a Rock Star, we need someone who can and will stand up to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy in our nation, and to score more knockouts, in behalves of the American people.
And seeing how he stopped the only person that would have done so before, then Senator Hillary Clinton, he needs to do what he stopped her from doing, by putting the members of the minority right-wing-conspiracy, back into their place.

Here is my advice to our young President, a man who is beginning to show some life closer to his fourth year in office, just as I predicted: “Fight Mr. President”! For when you think about it, what do you have to lose anyway? It doesn't matter that for 2.5 years, you seemed to have believed that because you were so sweet, and played the conciliatory role, that the Republicans were going to capitulate or cease from their obstructionist's policies and practices, or to do away with their "How to Defeat Democrat's Republican Playbook, that works every time!
However, time is a great teacher isn't it? The Republicans haven't capitulated, and they never will – do you get it now? You should have learned by now that you will never satisfy the Republican wrong. - these guys and gals are dyed-in-the wool Republican ideologues, and they have a singular focus. They wake up everyday and pray to the Republican Idol, asking it, how can I knock off a Democrat or two today, especially their evil leader, 'a brother from another mother'?
They are dyed-in-the-wool obstructionists, and they intend to oppose you and any non-Republicans in everything that they do. Okay, you want to be Mr. Nice guy? Well, that is okay for you because you are wealthy and powerful just like they are, and you even have a security team to protect you. However, who will fight for, defend and protect the little gals and guys from the great unwashed. Oh, and by the way, I am not one of the little guys – I will take any of them on any day and at any time.
Ironically, I debated one of them during the run up to the election, several years ago. Once, an apologist for the Right, ended his defense of the Republican Right, he could not answer this simple question, “then why sir, if they are so right, and you are one of them, are you living in a homeless shelter"? Silence? You betcha!
Anyone who knows anything about our nation's capitol, knows that it is not a place for nice guys, neither on the streets, nor on The Hill. The way I see it, the President is already in the 10th round of his administration, anyway. He has been hurt and there are only 2 more rounds to go. And, even though he has been wobbled since the mid-term election ended, a last minute knock out could end up scoring a huge victory for him and the rest of the people, that he represents.
And if it helps, the President should order and watch the infamous Mike Weaver/Big John Tate fight; it was a classic. In it you will see how Big John Tate, like the Big Money Republicans have done to the President in the early rounds, cleaned Weaver's clock, nearly every round.
And just as Weaver sent Big John back to Texas, remind you of President George Bush Jr. and the former Republican House and Senate, the President can send his powerless opponents packing to Ohio, Kentucky ... Big John Tate was not only knocked down, he was knocked out, and afterwards, was never the same again.
In fact, he stayed out for nearly half-way through another uncounted round. When he came to, he had no idea what hit him. I know the President would prefer to treat his job like a gentleman who is playing golf or basketball, however, there are rarely any nice guys in politics, that won't do what they have to in, order to get what they want.
The President has got to learn to get down, dirty, jab and to land a punch knockout punch. Until recently, he hasn't been throwing any punches, much less landing any – he has been lying on the ropes, getting hit and appears to be punch drunk. The President needs to be reminded that he was, and could still be the people's champion.
It is not too late to reclaim the Presidential crown, however, the rope-a-dope strategy is not working! There must be a few leftover books on pugilism, lying around in the Oval Office, or at the Presidential Library. Surely, President Clinton, Richard Nixon and or other Republican President's, must have left a few behind!
