New Jack Obama Bashers

I often wonder what world new jack Obama bashers live in. They wanna hate the playa when they should hate the game. I give President-Elect Obama credit for not only recognizing the game but becoming Master of the game. Now that he is President-Elect the game has changed but the game remains the same. Further, let us not forget the most successful Democratic administration in fifty years was the Clinton Administration - which I contend was also the only moderate Republican administration of the last half century. By that I mean the Clinton administration actually delivered what Republicans always promise (to win elections) but never deliver.

Now there is a hue and cry about a dearth of Hispanic cabinet nominees. For the record, I am not in favor of the kind of black token picks that embarrassingly littered recent Republican administrations (paradoxically, the appointments of the eminently qualified Colin Powell and Condelezza Rice are exceptions that prove the rule - I direct you back to the Reagan and first Bush administrations). While I am confident there are Hispanics with credentials and necessary portfolios, I am heartened and gratified that Obama has appointed individuals as gifted and qualified as Attorney-General nominee Eric Holder and Ambassor to the UN nominee Susan Rice. And I am positively giddy that there will be no one anywhere in Obama's administration who graduated from that community college known as Liberty University..
