BLACK PRESIDENT ? "RUMBLE YOUNG MAN RUMBLE"

Peace All,
For me it's never about race,I just want the best person for the job.So if Barack Obama decides to run for President Of the United States...i'm all in.My point is,we need another plan in regards to our country and how it is run.Did you know that as we spend countless billions on the war in Iraq,President Bush gave his rich friends a TAX-CUT? So the war is being funded by "THE COMMON MAN" We're either giving up our tax dollars or our precious children for the pointless war.If it's Obama or Clinton...I'm in for change.Please vote when the time comes...IT'S NEEDED

20,000 MORE SACRIFICIAL LAMBS

I know all my bloggers ,posters & Mac addicts myself included are all hyped up over this new I-Phone that was introduced yesterday.But let us not forget that george w.bush is giving an address to America tonight @ 9pm.The purpose of this address is to sell us on the idea of sending at least 20,000 kids to Iraq.I have to say WHAT A SHAM!!! He's like a used carsalesman trying to sell you a lemon.But how my question is "How long we gonna let him get away with this nonsense?" We get the wool pull over our eyes (collectively) again & again and we just take it.When are we all gonna STAND UP? I mean we have to wake up and see this SHAM for what it is ..........ONE BIG LIE AFTER ANOTHER.Make no mistakes this is about an administration saving face....DONT GIVE INTO THE BULLSHIT

HERE IS TODAY NY DAILY NEWS ARTICLE BY MIKE LUPICA

He comes out of upstate New York and put himself through college with ROTC, and found himself with the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad in the summer of 2003 fighting George W. Bush's war. He spent 15 months in Iraq and now they want to send him back in the spring, make him part of this great surge that we will hear about from the White House tonight, one that is less about saving what is left of Iraq than it is saving what is left of this President's reputation.
This President has moved all these top managers around, made John Negroponte a deputy secretary of state and replaced Gen. George Casey in Iraq with Lt. Gen. David Petraeus and made Adm. William Fallon his new head of the Central Command. This is the way sports owners do it with bad teams, as a way of showing some kind of movement to the fans when there is none in the standings.

This is all about the men and women running one of the worst and weakest administrations in American history trying to save face now. And the soldier from upstate New York - who went over there with his 9/11 ideals the way so many of them did that first summer, in that period when Bush and Vice President Cheney and then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld started losing a war they told the world they were winning in a breeze - does not want to go back and get blown up by some roadside bomb for that.

"We had a chance to do something that first summer," the soldier says. "But we dropped the ball. It wasn't the soldiers' fault. It was the fault of our leadership. That's what hurts the most now, that we did what was asked of us and weren't given the help, support or guidance we needed. And before long we weren't fighting foreign fighters and Saddam [Hussein] loyalists, we were fighting regular Iraqis."

He pauses and says, "And now they want to send us back, and keep sending us back, and for what? I see now that Bush wants to send 20,000 more troops, which is supposed to include me, and I want to know why? What's the strategy? If I go back and die in Iraq, is my mother really going to understand why for one day of the rest of her life?"

This is not the story about this war that Bush will tell us tonight, a war that makes Vietnam look as clearly defined as World War II in comparison. This is a soldier's story, and not just his story, but one so many come back telling, one that so many soldiers and National Guardsmen and reservists come back telling. In Iraq, the best and bravest kids are both shocked and awed over how badly their superiors bungled this thing, almost from the start.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," the soldier from upstate New York says. "You want to put me back in uniform and march me back into Baghdad, then you've got to do better than our President has in telling me why, telling me what this month's plan is, what our goals really are. Because those have never been defined, not for the people on the ground, and for that I don't believe I can continue to support this lunacy."

This isn't some politician talking, one like Cheney, who set world records for draft deferments during Vietnam and now wants to fight the whole world. This isn't some war-loving television or radio yahoo who has never served a day of active duty in his life. This is an American soldier who believed the men who sent him there but no longer believes enough in those same people to let them send him back.

"I love my country, and that's why I'm so torn up over this," he says. "Because I know that if I don't go then someone else will go in my place. I believe in defending my country. I HAVE defended my country. I believe in America. But I no longer believe that fighting this war is helping any of that."

He speaks then as if speaking directly to the President, talking about how more troops might temporarily quell violence over there but how our military doesn't have the manpower to sustain this type of troop rotation for an unlimited time, talking about a President constantly fumbling around, trying to explain the most complicated war in our history by using the words "victory" and "defeat" over and over again.

"Let me ask you a question," the soldier says. "When we finally come down from this 'surge,' do you think the families of the 28,000 Iraqis who died [in 2006] alone will forget who started this war?"

The President will offer another plan for Iraq tonight, in an endless series of them. He will attempt to justify the death of 3,000 American men and women and the wounding of 10,000 more, some of them the worst wounded any war has ever produced. Finally, he is expected to talk about sending more over there, sending more young Americans to get their asses shot off as a way of covering his own.

Another grim fairy tale

Spike in killings proves it's time to stop
fostering the street myths that inspire crime

The gunshots that rang outside the Empire Roller Skating Centerin Brooklyn this week, sending four youngsters to the hospital, once again put the lie to the happy talk from City Hall about what a safe city New York has become.
In broad swaths of Gotham - including Crown Heights, where I live and where the shooting took place - guns, gangs and a violent street culture are getting the best of cops.

Average citizens can't get involved in the hard part of policing, like breaking up drug crews and snatching guns off the street. Leave that to the pros.

But every responsible adult can - and must - do his or her share by putting up a harder fight against the cultural poison that daily spews from radios, televisions and movies.

We need to refute the four Big Lies being aimed at young people from every direction: Life is cheap, greed is good, sex is recreation without consequences and the way to succeed in the world is by force and fraud.

Many young people have absorbed those destructive messages. And they are spitting them back in our faces.

Newspaper accounts of past shootings at the Empire Roller Skating Center tell the story:


In January 1988, two teens - one 14, one 17 - were shot outside the rink at 4 p.m.

In January 1992, cops arrested four young men from Bedford-Stuyvesant, ages 19 to 28, after a wild shootout outside the rink at 4:30 in the morning. Two of the men were firing weapons into the air, then began shooting at the cops who responded.

In April 1998, a guard at Empire, Michael Colon, was shot dead in the rink's lobby after refusing to admit two men who didn't have proper ID.
This week, the mayhem resumed with the shooting of four teenagers outside the rink by an unknown gunman who remains at large.
The latest violence is part of a disturbing local trend. As my Daily News colleague Robert Moore has reported, four men were slain in unrelated incidents on nearby President St. over a four-week period in 2006.

Homicides in this part of Crown Heights, served by the 71st Precinct, went down in 2006, although the 17 murders for the year represent an 89% increase over the past two years.

Deputy Inspector Frank Vega, the commanding officer at the 71st, is a smart and energetic leader with good ideas about how to tamp down the violence.

Last summer, Vega put 23 rookies on overnight foot patrols, and he has been trying to focus on getting guns off the street. What Vega needs - what all inner-city neighborhoods need - is more anger, outrage and inspired involvement from preachers, parents and other leaders. We should be marching in the streets in defiant protest against the shooters, corner bullies and dope dealers - and the cultural filth merchants who egg them on.

Columnist DeWayne Wickham of USA Today recently lamented the absence of an organized anti-violence movement in black communities.

"Most of this nation's black murder victims are killed by other blacks," he wrote. "And despite this chilling fact, nowhere have tens of thousands of people taken to the streets recently to protest this carnage. Not in New York, or Baltimore, or Atlanta, or Detroit, or Chicago. Nowhere."

Wickham is right. A march that shut down Empire Blvd. or Eastern Parkway - or Wall St. - would show the world that some of us, at least, will not stand idly by while our children get gunned down one by one.

St.Oprah opens S.African school

Oprah Winfrey with girls from the first classes of the Leadership Academy for disadvantaged girls she has opened in Henley-on-Klip, South Africa, yesterday.
Oprah Winfrey opened her school for disadvantaged girls in South Africa yesterday with a tearjerking ribbon-cutting ceremony that capped a five-day, star-studded celebration with 200 of her celebrity pals.
"I wanted to give this opportunity to girls who had a light so bright that not even poverty could dim that light," Winfrey told reporters yesterday.

The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, in the small town of Henley-on-Klip, south of Johannesburg, is the result of a promise the talk show queen made to former South African President Nelson Mandela six years ago.

Mandela, 88, attended the opening and praised Winfrey for overcoming her own poverty-stricken childhood to become a benefactor to the disadvantaged throughout the world.

"There wasn't a dry eye during the ceremony," an insider told the Daily News. "Grown men were crying tears of joy and pride."

The $40 million academy aims to give 152 girls from deprived backgrounds - many of them from families decimated by AIDS - a free, quality education in a country where schools are struggling to overcome the legacy of apartheid. Eventually the school will accommodate 450 girls.

Winfrey's academy received 3,500 applications from across the country. To qualify, applicants had to show both academic and leadership potential and have a household income of no more than $787 a month.

"We had an opportunity to meet some of the girls in the school and they are amazing. Each girl was confident, articulate, poised and had a burning desire to learn," the insider told the News.

"These girls were not interested in video games, slutty clothes or using foul language. They were serious about education."

The 28-building campus boasts computer and science laboratories, a library and a theater along with a wellness center. Students call Winfrey "Mam Oprah."

In the five days before the opening, Winfrey hosted celebrations that included a black-tie ball, a safari, an afternoon tea and a campus tour.

Attendees included Winfrey's longtime boyfriend, Stedman Graham; best friend Gayle King, and a host of stars who included Sidney Poitier, Quincy Jones, Tina Turner, Spike Lee, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Nick Ashford, Valerie Simpson, Diane Sawyer, Kenneth (Babyface) Edmonds, Star Jones Reynolds, India.Arie and Holly Robinson Peete.

The week before Christmas, each guest received an elaborate invitation and itinerary. The guests paid their own way to South Africa, but once there, Winfrey rolled out the red carpet and picked up the tab for the more than 200 invitees.

Guests began checking into the five-star Palace Hotel in Sun City last Friday. They received a goody bag filled with a book written by Winfrey about the school, a pen, a program and African souvenirs, a source said.

After a welcome party on Friday, khaki-clad guests were treated to a safari Saturday. Later, they were escorted to tents housing a cigar bar, drinks bar, buffet and barbecue pit.

On New Year's Eve, Winfrey hosted a black-tie party featuring performances by Edmonds and Blige, who belted out "No More Drama," the source said. Guests feasted on lobster dishes, stuffed guinea fowl and a smorgasbord of delicacies.
