Random Thoughts to Ponder

I think that those we have in our inner circle help define us- just as I believe that our community plays a role. I also believe that the local politicians play a role in defining their communities.

So when I read about a barbaric crime where teens kill another teen for walking out of his school in broad daylight...I begin to wonder. In fact last year 34 Chicago students were murdered.

I began to think a bit more about this article:

Why Did 1 In 7 Girls Get Pregnant At Robeson High?

What is going on? Well of course, I know what is going on, but Chicago seems to have some serious problems with its youth.

President Obama has been involved in community organization for Chicago for most of his career.

President Obama organized a Get out to Vote in Chicago in 1992...150,000 African Americans were added to the voter registration poles.

President Obama was on the Board of Directors for the Woods Fund of Chicago which had 67 million dollars in assets in 2004.This goal of the Woods Fund

is to increase opportunities for less advantaged people and communities in the metropolitan area, including the opportunity to shape decisions affecting them.

President Obama was on the Board to the Joyce Foundation which

supports efforts to protect the natural environment of the Great Lakes, to reduce poverty and violence in the region, and to ensure that its people have access to good schools, decent jobs, and a diverse and thriving culture. We are especially interested in improving public policies, because public systems such as education and welfare directly affect the lives of so many people, and because public policies help shape private sector decisions about jobs, the environment, and the health of our communities. To ensure that public policies truly reflect public rather than private interests, we support efforts to reform the system of financing election campaigns.

Funny President Obama has had a career in his hometown on all kinds of boards and community organizing activies and Chicago is most notably one of the most corrupt cities in the nation, if not the world. He has spent over two decades in a community will millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars at hand and he can't even change his hometown, and now we hope he will change ours?

President Obama is all air. He could care less about the blacks or the poor or his people being discriminated(white, black, Kenyan, Hawaiian?). He has made no difference in his community except among the thugs whose pockets have been lined. His stance on issues are similar to the false fronts of the Old West, as he says a lot of good stuff with little foundation.

We are in trouble folks as he has left Chicago in ruins, and now is working on the nation. I must confess that I am anti all political parties. I think that we need real change by real folks. We need to rethink what our criteria is for electing someone. I understand why folks elected Obama, I really do. You see when a conservative wishes for the border to be secure and it is left open, then all the talk about protecting our nation rings hollow. And for the record, I stopped linking all the song and dance crap that Obama was involved in as it is all hot air. Feel free to google our president and look up all the community organizing that he has done. Chicago is not a better place- consider this Beijing got Olympics and Chicago didn't-- Beijing!

Now to pondering, what are you going to do? What can we do? How can we prevent fluff and hot air from being elected again? Now is the time to stop this train wreck of hope and change. Oh and who is President Obama? Who is in his inner circle? Where did President Obama come from? Well of course, I answered most of this with the post...now it is up to you to weed through the nonsense of nothingness.
