Coming in late on this lovely endorsement. I must say that I couldn’t care two-naked-sheep less about who inspires Caroline Kennedy.
First of all, for people who claim that they are tired of being dictated to by the “same families” why then should the endorsement from the Dynasty o’ Kennedy mean a thing? What truly makes this man the one? I’m sorry but I still don’t see it. My pick is not set in stone for anyone but the one I’m not heading for is him. He’s too whishy washy. Too damn concerned with what groups think of him. I have yet to see this man take a real stand except when his wife and him slam the Clintons. I still remember Mrs. Flip-Flop stating how she’ll be a wife and mother in the White House. What the heck was that supposed to mean? If she wants to play the June Cleaver role then do that mess elsewhere.
Secondly, between Hilary and Obama there are nations that won’t even look at them let alone sit down with them to have a discussion. It’s all pretty to have “change” in the US but how fake can we truly get when the Bible Belt and the Redneck states rather go leaderless than have a Negro and a “girl” as head of the country. One should be swinging high while the other bare-foot and pregnant in the kitchen keeping the beers cold and the possum hot (which takes which role is still up for grabs).
Lastly, the president – no matter who – is merely a picture to post in international papers. This person can do not one thing without the consent of either the Senate or Congress or both. For the simple fact that the Republicans run this country for the time being; they could put Jesus Himself in there and if neither side likes what He has to offer, stuff just won’t get done. It’s called filibustering. They simply BS their way through sessions until it’s time for vacation and don’t have to pass not one damn law until they feel good and ready. That’s why the Senate & Congressional elections are more important than anything we ever do. Most Americans are too stupid to realize that and that’s how so many losers get in the seats they do. They last longer than the presidents. Only if scandal hits does the president put their people in. Then the Supreme Justices do their own thing until retirement or death, then hopefully a sensible president is in place to shove some old person in there until they die soon.
For me it begins at the city and state levels. This is where these senator and congressmen come from for the most part. This is where they build their names. If they are crappy then they will be crappy later. But if we as a nation do not make it our business to know who the hell is leading us from way down there, then should we really be surprised when the same fool climbs to the White House? Present Bush was a crappy Governor but so many did not know his antics until after his name spread like wildfire. I’ll even skip the fact that most of those in office came from the same fraternal organization and they look out for self automatically. So we need to stop allowing ourselves to fall for the “catchiest tunes” and realize the real deal. Are these promises the candidates spitting out reasonable? Will they even get them accomplished? Are the goals outrageously high to be set in stone? are they truly saying what we want to hear? Are we only voting for them because of how they look or what celebrity endorses them?
I am seriously disturbed by the rallying around Obama. For me he’s saying nothing, but yet it feels like the majority of Blacks are backing him simply to “see a brotha in the White House,” or because Oprah likes him. I don’t care what race you are, if I feel that you can’t hold yourself together and voice your opinion no matter who doesn’t like it, then how they hell are you going to handle nations not liking you? This is no longer a high school and you no longer have to feel the need to please everyone around you in order to win Homecoming King – buck up!
In closing, the Kennedy’s would not have been my prime choice to do a jig with. How great the family of drunks, murderers and the king of Using the Oval Office to get your rocks off. After the world tried to make Billy feel shamed for getting his skin flute played at work, the world must now honor the endorsement from the child of the man who shared his mistress with his brother and the mob. Thanks but no thanks, Caroline.

Thank you Amenra.
I was becoming very annoyed at the spectacle that this so-called campaign was turning out to be. More so than usual. At the beginning of this comedy festival Obama had no “gimmick” until, once again, his friend Oprah joined him on his campaign trail to claim that Obama was the man for change.
Soon all media outlets were calling him the same thing but yet failed to realize that a woman president would be a change from the ordinary as well. Instead we were fed that this man, no, this Black man would be our saving grace. This is the same person whom no one outside of his small circle knew or even cared about. He gave one speech during the last democratic presidential conference and became “Jesus Christ, Superstar”.
My goal will never be to change minds or have people agree with me just to say that they do, but if we as humans (Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, whatever) can honestly say that we do things with our eyes wide open then that is all I could ever ask for. When I ask my friends, co-workers, and family members why they choose the candidates they do, very few can give me something to ponder – very few. I would never expect them to change my mind but at least give me a reason to ponder if I should.
People are acting as if Obama is the first Black man to run for this “honored crown.” Where were all these supporters for Rev. Sharpton? Jesse Jackson? I recently found out about Alan Keyes, where were his posters? Where was Oprah then? I’m not saying that these people were prime candidates but where were the “Change” buttons then? Where were the Kennedys? We had no war with Iraq then so would it not have been easier to help the Black race see “victory” then?
I fear for, not just our nation, but this world as a whole. The US takes great pleasure, as a nation, to impose their views on other nations much older than itself. Then are left in amazement as to why many outside and inside our nation have reservations and even hate towards anything USA. At this point I cannot even completely separate myself from this nation as it is mine of birth. As I do not agree with many of its policies, this nation is still mine to appreciate and observe in disgust (sort of like family – you love them but can you truly choose who they are?) Therefore, I an one who has reservations of what her nation is doing and going through.
This election, more than the past ceremonies of shame, has left me in total shock and fear as to how deep the rabbit hole truly goes. How far away are we really from becoming a true Democracy and not just some shadow of a small, powerful groups wet dream. I do not appreciate being toyed with and so openly at that. When the media declared Obama the winner of New Hampshire and the people did not even wake up yet or even open one booth, it was such a disgrace.
I will not sit silent as to who I want to vote for when that time comes but I refuse to simply throw away my vote as well.
I have yet to hear exactly what Obama or more than half those candidates have planned in order to make these candy cane wishes they have come true. Santa Clause can only do so much.
And before people start to call on the Lord and Jesus Christ I do recall being told that God helps those who help themselves. So….
