| Good posts, Bugs, but I disagree on some points, as usual. As you noted, it's easier for minorities to be elected at the local and even state levels. Heck, in Canada, city councilmen and MLAs are non-English-speaking immigrants, and you can get info in several non-official languages for your district, even if the member is fekin white. The burbs stuffed with Chinese have a Chinese rep, same for the Indos. Just a comparison. But country leader? Don't think so.
OK, look at Chicago: how many black politicians do they have there and what's the B/W ratio? Ask Chitown.
The energy plan viz T. Boone Pickens. That's a fekin far stretch. T Boone is interested in alt energy, but what is he doing? He's buyin up all the water reservoirs in the Texas panhandle and any other place he can nearby coz he views water as the next must-have commodity with a price tag -- ie, it's going to run out and people will have to pay and he's going to be the seller. He knows oil is nearing its end and is looking to the future, like any sharp investor does. The blogger linking him to Obama viewpoints needs social study home tutoring.
I still have qualms about Obama in the Oval Office. Sure, he's the figure head for the dem team, but who is the dem team? What if there is another attack on America. Just too unstable and cocky for my liking.
Forgot: tax breaks to car cos? 555 Get the fekin unions outta there and make the mgmt turn the cos around like any smart bizperson should. |
