But since this is an open forum i feel comfortable expressing them whether people agree, disagree or are indifferent helps foster good debate.<br><br>Just like the shirts that were popular in the 90s "Malcom, Martin, Mandella and me - It\'s a black thing you wouldn\'t understand". ( I remember it verbatim because I still have mine) The folks who created that slogan failed to realize or just didn\'t give a rat\'s butt...that white folk also died during the civil rights struggle...white folks also marched with Martin. <br>Showing pride and being divisive and silly are two totally different things.</div>\

One\'s a piece of cloth and the other is another fly-by-night entertainer.   <br><br>As regrettable as Jeezy\'s song lyrics are, there\'s nothing to be embarrassed about or to apologize for.  The shirt?  Cute, for all of about five minutes.  I\'ll worry about it if I start seeing them in Wal-Mart.  It\'s all foolishness, but its nothing that BHO would worry about.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-3662917" class="dsq-comment-message">Axelrod said about Obama\'s ambition.  This comment is from the CBS 60 minutes article.<br><br>"But it was whether he had that pathological drive to be president. You know, so often, what defines presidential candidates is this need to be president, to define themselves. He didn\'t have that. And, you know, we told him, \'You\'re gonna have to find some other way to motivate yourself.\' And he did, which was what he could do as president." <br><br>This is the advantage Obama had over every candidate for President since Ronald Reagan and perhaps Paul Tsongas.  He wanted to do things for the country, that he felt uniquely qualified to execute.  I believe RR, TP, and perhaps Jimmy Carter wanted to move the country in a certain direction.  RR was charismatic and succeeded.  Carter and Tsongas were not good politicians.  Carter has proven he is a moral person with genuine concern for justice and development.<br><br>None of the serious candidates in 2008 and 2004 were as in touch with the "do" part of President as Obama.  The "be" president ambition will lead you to major in minors, as HRC and Johnny Mac campaigns did when they started losing.<br><br>There is a lesson there for all of us.  What are you to do as a parent, Christian, Muslim, sister, brother, spouse, child, nephew/niece, cousin, uncle/aunt, etc.</div>\

The new four-year agreement calls for Olbermann to continue as host of "Countdown;" additionally, Olbermann will play a prominent role in MSNBC\'s coverage of all major news events. He will also continue to co-host NBC\'s "Football Night in America" studio show.<br><br>"Keith Olbermann is at the core of MSNBC\'s current success," said Griffin. "\'Countdown\' is our signature program and I\'m thrilled that we\'re going to be able to bring it to Keith\'s loyal viewers for another four year term."<br><br>"I\'m delighted that we can continue to lock Countdown into the nation\'s political dialogue through at least the next election," said Olbermann. "Personally, I noticed that as of about six weeks ago, I\'d been doing this show longer than I did SportsCenter, so it\'s delightful to have a true home."</i><br><br>THERE IS MORE<br><br>CONGRATULATIONS!<br><br>President-Elect Obama!   :&gt;)</div>\

I love the part about how their own internalized racism is being slowly peeled back. It is so great to know that Obama is leaving a legacy for more than just us as African Americans. It has been a long time since the world has looked at us in admiration. I love this!<br><br>BTW: I am VERY concerned about the Clinton vibe that Obama is putting in his Cabinet, I\'ll make a note on that post later when I get out of this office and have some time to sit and write a serious note...</div>\

While everybody\'s talking Sash and Mal\'s school, I\'m wondering about their church. Are there any "safe" black congregations in DC? Or, will they be too cowardly to ever step foot back into a church with a predominantly black congregation, for fear that they will be criticized by people who don\'t understand our culture?<br><br>And before anyone screams at me that I  qualified the word "congregation" with the word "black", please remember that while the nationwide Trinity churches had a predominantly white membership, the Chicago location had a predominantly black one. And that\'s where they chose to go. I\'m very interested to see what they\'re gonna do on this front. <br><br>So PE Obama and First Lady In Waiting Michelle, what church will it be?
