Everyone including the President knows who I am picking to cut down the nets in Detroit.

Go Heels!

For now I have officially resigned from criticizing President Obama. He is officially my President and Commander in Chief my duties are set forth by the oath I took when I chose to enlist and re-enlist inthe United States Army.  I wish my President Godspeed and the very best.  My loyalty to him and my country will not waver and its time of need “Ol Sarge” will salute and march to the beat of his orders from his Commander. Retirement for me is about two years away. After two Bush a Clinton and now Obama, this will probably be my last Commander in Chief I serve under.  As a student of military history, the famous words said by General Douglas MacArthur “Duty, Honor, and County” will forever ring hollow, not as a cliché but a way of life, the life that I will give to protect and defend this country whenever she needs me.  Presidents will change but duty doesn’t, the honor serve with those who love of country is beyond reproach.

So help me God.  God bless America and God Bless the world.

Ol Sarge

What is happening to the Church? The role of the church is slowly diminishing to the point where it is becoming irrelevant.  Only in times of crisis or uncertainty such as September 11^th, is when people go running to church.  I must not forget the New Year’s resolutions that people make to lose weight and start going to church.  Attendance at my church had spiked during the first two weeks in January, but now it is back to pre September 11^th levels.  The Obama administration is using the Dr. King holiday to ask Americans “to turn today's efforts into an ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of others in their communities, their cities, and their country."  On CNN Rep. James Clyburn Democrat from South Carolina mentions the Obama administration must use the “bully pulpit” of his office to press for a heavier commitment to public service.  As this country becomes more and more secular the church will have less influence. Our moral compass will be mandated via a governmental fiat. The pulpit of the church must not be replaced by a secular progressive government mired with inertness, which has holistic view of people “clinging to their guns and bibles”. 

“Just be good for goodness sake” and serve soup to homeless because Obama said so will not be a mantra that I will take heed to. Just because it’s coming from the president, “For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men” (1 Peter 2:15).  The church’s role must not take a back seat to government.  

Charles Barkley rips his alma mater Auburn for not hiring Turner Gill as the schools football coach.  Auburn chose their former 2004 defensive coordinator who left Auburn to become Iowa State Cyclones football coach and since then has compiled a 5–19 record.  

Turner Gill is who is black happens to be the head coach of Buffalo.  Buffalo might not be on the list of powerhouse schools, but Turner has turned that program around in three years.  Prior to Gill taken over Buffalo had won only 10 games in their first seven seasons at the Division I-A level.  Buffalo won their division this year with an 8–5 record.

Barkley is quoted as saying

"I think race was the No. 1 factor," said Barkley, who played basketball for three seasons at Auburn during the early 1980s. "You can say it's not about race, but you can't compare the two resumes and say [Chizik] deserved the job. Out of all the coaches they interviewed, Chizik probably had the worst resume."  (espn.com)

The problem is that that are less than a handful of black college coaches in Division One football.  The elite programs have rarely took that bold initiative and hired a black coach to run its program.  Ty Willinghan did at Notre Dame, he had marginal success according to Notre Dame standards (I guess that is why he was ran away). Look at the Fightin’ Irish now.

I would love to see Turner Gill go back to his alma mater Nebraska and bring the Cornhuskers back to prominence.  My buddy who is a die “Big Red” fan would love to see that happen and so would the people in Lincoln.

As a Veteran, I like say thanks to all of those past and present who have served this great country of ours.  Your sacrifice to duty and honor is truly what makes our country “The land of the free and the home of the brave”.

God Bless you all

God Bless America

1. There will be a demand for a Obama Holiday, forget President’s Day our first black president needs his own day to show the world America is not racist.

2. There will be a demand for Obama’s face to be on one of our currency.  It will come down to replacing either Andrew Jackson (known racist) or Alexander Hamilton who many people don’t about.

3. The Obama movie will be directed by either Spike Lee or Clint Eastwood. It will star Will Smith and Theresa Randale as the Obama’s. 

Craig T Nelson as Joe Biden.

Robert Duvall as John McCain and Tina Fey can reprise her role as Sarah Palin.  (I am pretty sure Tina will need some work by then)

I am still looking for someone to play Rahm Emmanuel. I am thinking about Chris Kattan. 

Will Smith’s wife Jada will need a role in the movie. She can probably have a cameo as a community organizer in Cleveland.  Jay Z will do the soundrack.

4. Speaking about Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood, they will argue over the rights about who will get to do the movie. Oliver Stone is my dark horse, but only if some happens to Obama while he is in office.

5. Obama will sign an Executive order authorizing his likeness to be carved on Mount Rushmore.

6.  Every rapper from Nas to Ludacris and including Tupac will have an Obama song on their Album. 

7. An Obama monument right next to Lincoln on the Mall. It should look like the the Michael Jordan statue in front of the United Center in Chicago.

Instead of a basketball Obama will me holding the world in his hands.

8. Chicago will get the 2016 Olympics thanks to President Obama’s influence.

9. Al Sharpton and Jesse won’t go away. Nor will they get the chance to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom.

10. The Obama’s won’t enroll their kids in DC public schools but will be admantly against school choice.

Now that we have elected our “Official Black President”.  I predict that the that upcoming inauguration will be the second coming to the Million Man March.  Channels, such as E, MTV, VH1, and Style will have various red carpet shows that will highlight a who's who of Hollywood and the entertainment industry that has descended to the Nation’s Capital for the inauguration.  I can wait to see what Lindsey Lohan and her girlfriend walk the red carpet with their lovely dresses.  Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs and Ludacris will host various inauguration bashes at several clubs in D.C charging patrons 50 to 100 dollars to get in. The V.I.P rooms will be off limits.  People will throw Inauguration parties comparable to a Superbowl party all over the country. The price for Obama T-shirts will go up two fold(collectors items baby).  Fireworks at the monument.

I am not caught up in the historical nature of the election of America’s first “black president”. The fact that Barak Obama will become the 44^th President of this country proves to me the democratic process does work.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to downplay the historic moment for a nation that was transformed itself from a place that was scarred with, slavery, a civil war, Jim Crow and 9-11 to electing Barak Obama as President of the United States of America.  The cacophony of voices on the right who view an Obama administration as the dawning socialistic era, are scared about where this country is headed.  Forget for a moment that Barak Obama is black; the Democrats control both houses of Congress.  Their ability to push a liberal agenda will be unfettered. Should I chose the wait and see approach or just bend over and grab my ankles because we are screwed.

American has spoken, now that the 2008 election is in its twilight, I am happy that it is over.  Did black people finally get what they been yearning for? Can we finally move on and get over the AmeriKKKa is racist mantra. I hope my people can put the nail in the coffin and move on.  While there is cause for major celebration for one man you put into the annals of our history books.  I caution people that fight to improve our streets, our health, and our education rests upon our shoulders and not the next President.  Black America we still have work to do in places like Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago and DC.  As duty calls I always put country first, not before God or my savior Jesus for through them I no weapon against me shall prosper and faith is what drives my hope and not from man.

 My unconditional support for country and my commander in chief will remain steadfast. Like it always has especially throughout the personal sacrifice I have made.  I challenge those to protect and defend our great country and ensure President Obama is successful at living up to the oath of office. Surely I will, although I am a conservative who votes Republican…………..  I am an American first. 

Let us pray for our next President

God Bless America!!!

Several weeks ago I watched VH1 100 greatest Hip Hop songs of all time.  Zone of my complaints was some of the songs that were chosen were simply wack.  Young MC ahead of Pete Rock and CL smooth and Doug E Fresh the show was real low.  I understand commercial success does pay a major factor, however it won’t on my list.  Is this list bias?... As Sarah Palin would say “You Betcha”.   You will not be seeing the likes of Lil Wayne or anybody who I think is garbage.  This is my list and I’m pretty sure you will agree with most of my picks. 

100.        Sweet Tee “On the Smooth Tip” Testing My Mic 1 2 1 2 I’m here to entertain and this means you. The song sampled Parliament’s “Mothership Connection” with a nice drum beat and Sweet Tee’s lyrical delivery made this song “Smooth”

99.          Too Short “Life is Too Short” Short Dawg was on the first West Coast rappers I listened to.  School Boy Crush by Average White Band is an often sampled song.  Too Short pulled it off with this classic

98.          Boss “Recipe of a Hoe” Lyrically back in the day Boss was tops for a female, Despite the title Recipe of a Hoe is classic head as she condems certain types in industry.  This song remains up in rotation on my Zune.

97.          U.T.F.O “Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me” One of the songs I use to sang to my girl back in day and on occasion still do.

96.          Fat Boys “Fat Boys” They were known as the Disco 3 and changed their names to the Fat Boys after this classic.  Listening to Buff beat box is what makes Hip Hop great to me.

95.          T La Rock “It’s Yours” A Classic in a true sense.  It’s Yours!!!!!

94.          3 Times Dope “Funky Dividends” These Brothers from Philly talk about being frugal and gold diggers.  

93.          Cool C “Glamorous Life” OJ Simpson of hip hop was representing Philly with this classic, Predates the bling bling that has corrupted Hip Hop

92.          Das EFX “Mic Checka” Their flow predated Bone Thugs. Straight head nod.  I’m pretty sure you if you head this sing now you trying to flow..  Riggety Rau!   

91.           Chubb Rock “Ya Bad Chubbs” Underrated for his lyrical skills, If you sit and listen to Chubb’s flow on this hit, DAMN would be your reaction.

90. The Lady of Rage “Afro Puffs” I still get a head rush listening to Rage lyrics on this song. The Street Fighter reference is classic

 Boss is the Youtube Spotlight for this list

 I feel that those on the left look at “Karl Rove” the same way as those on the right look at “Karl Marx”.  Liberals have come up with cute word like “Rovian”, I waiting on for the day when liberals start using the calling conservatives who espouse free market ideas a “Rovenist”.  I feel like it’s coming, and in the age of the Obama (if he so happens to be elected our 44^th President) it will be reality.  Rove derangement syndrome is prevalent.  The economy is in crisis it is all Rove’s fault, the War on Terrorism is all Rove’s fault and If Obama loses the election it was because of Karl Rove.  Can I blame the Patriot’s lost in Superbowl on Karl Rove? I might as well.  How can one man who hasn’t written a manifesto nor has been elected to any public office become so vilified.  Who does the left hate more Rush, Rove or Hannity? 

When will the Rovian Manifesto be written? I will like the read the firsthand account of the boogey man’s doctrine for “turning the executive branch into a political arm of the Republican Party, stoking fear and division amid the electorate, trashing opponents without mercy, and casting national security as a wedge issue”, according to Dan Froomin Washington Post article so aptly titled The End of Rove's Dream. 

So in a Rovenistic manner those on the left are guilty of using those same tactics to attack those who they disagree with.  Trust me I live in Maryland where the democrats that rule our “Animal Farm” will lie, cheat, steal and raise taxes to stay in power then tell us slot machines are good for us to have now, when they were downright evil when a republican governor proposed them a few years ago.  By the way our recently elected democratic governor of 2006 wants slots in Maryland. 

Talk about the “Snowball” effect huh

Yet when the sun finally sets on President Bush legacy, history might be kind to him however Karl Rove will probably be the Rasputin of our times.  The liberals will make sure of it.
