Interesting, I think he'll pick up a lot of votes, but don't cement his support in the community just yet. I was at breakfast just yesterday with six other guys (Chicago) who know him well. None of us intend to vote for him. That did surprise me a bit. And we all know folks who are speaking of...

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I'll add a prayer in the hopper tonight. Keep positive, keep fighting! :)

You're welcome. You wouldn't believe the heat I'm catching in the community because I'm speaking out. Several other guys who know him, who work out with him, are also catching hell. It's not anything physical yet. But it is becoming more vocal. Most recently I had a woman tell me that I...

The theology has a foundation that he buys heavily into. The need to not tell you that is critical. There is a certain "get back at 'em" mentality to most of the programs that he espouses. But again, it can never be articulated that way. He will say what you need to hear always making sure to...

Don't put too much weight on these experiences. Especially the professor, organizer and director creds. Here's the piece in all of this that you need to pay attention to. Barak has friends, personal friends. None are openly, outwardly supporting him. Many are opting out of making any comments on...

Lonestar Park!!! :)

I'm surprised they let you have eight votes. Three of them were probably dead so any challenges would show fraud in you favor. My community cracks me up. I have one friend who says he votes democrat because his family votes democrat. He says in the last election he had no idea who was on the...

I agree. Just one time I'd love to have them tell the democratic party no to the new spending, feel good programs. My black community does not need any more money. We need to stop hollering about bad teachers when they look just like us. We need to demand accountability out of ourselves and our...

He doesn't have to say it directly. When I have black associates who say, "America F**ked Me Out Of My Share!" they are discussing white folks screwing them over. No other races are included in that description. It's understood by default. Black folks do that a lot. :)

Hmm, the Achilles heel for me: "How are undecided voters allocated? This process may seem to work slightly backward. Firstly, we determine how much of the vote is likely to go to third-party candidates in each state based on a regression of the current undecided and ‘other’ vote in each...

The name sounds familiar. I play all over the city. If he plays at WesLoop, East Bank or LA Fitness with any regularity, probably. But I get around. In the summer I'm in the Hyde Park area sort of regularly too. I play both indoor and outdoor. And found out last week that I'm still semi-pro...

I could not have picked a better discriptor for Barak if I tried. Thanks! I'll tell the guys at the gym today as I work out. We used to play ball with Barak a little more regularly before the race took more of his attention and time. We also find it funny in that he thinks he might challenge...

Some folks just have bad luck with computers. I have some servers that have run for over ten years now without shutdown. They're PII's. I have a Compaq Pesario laptop and two Dell latitudes that have been running for over four years now since their last powerdown. I just accessed a first...

You could not be further from the thuth. I'm an independent. And I have no trouble identifying crap in both parties. Both are saying ours are not quite that bad as the other sides. Barak is weak, PERIOD!!! Accept it. Live with it! It's the truth. Havard puts out students who don't quite get...

Hmm, that's what I said about Barak. And I don't have to count on media reports, media biases and/or speculation. :)

The National Enquirer is news. Didn't you see "Men In Black?" :)

Bill Clinton has been under active investigation his whole career. Chicago politicians wear it as a badge of accomplishment. Jefferson Clinton, re-elected! Can you say Marion Berry? Detroit's mayor! Barak was under investigation (and quietly still is). Investigation does not guarantee guilt. The...

As a Chicago southside resident, a lot of that community activist stuff prints well but that's all. So does the co-sponsoring stuff as all it required was adding his name to the bill. It's like a quid pro quo petition game that they play. The resume of "actual" meaningful stuff is extremely...

LOL!!! Stop. :)

Most of these reporters/reporterettes are drama hounds in their own right. Most are over the top with every story they get involved with. Especially in the event of potential disaster coverage. They don't want cover the storm, they want you to experience it with in-the-wind coverage. There's...
