Stop the Black-on-Black Crime

This post is written in response to several blog posts incorrectly stating I regret voting for President Obama.

First things first: I DO NOT regret voting for President Barack Obama. I DO believe his heart is in the right place. I DO feel that his intent to bring change to America, to improve the lives of the desolate and poverty stricken is, ultimately, what he is all about. That explains and validates why more than 69 million citizens voted for him in the last Presidential Election. None of them envisioned they would regret doing so, either.

But that doesn’t mean they won’t regret it eventually, that they won’t rue the day they voted for Obama to be this nation’s 44th President, if he continues to spend us into oblivion, neglect addressing unemployment, purportedly weakening our national security – and smiling on the television tube entirely too much while doing so.

As I’ve said on many occasions: I am NOT a Democrat nor a Republican. I am an Independent. That means I have no party affiliation. No partisan agenda. No alterior motives, and neither love nor hate for our President — the man.

It was not meant for anyone to assume I regret voting for Obama.

Just that I will regret having voted for him if he continues down the path he’s going.

That means the jury’s still out.

Since my segment on the Mark Levin Show, quite a few folks in my community have called me a “Coon,” a “Sellout,” and quite a few other incendiary things I won’t waste my time repeating. One dear friend even had the gall to ask if I were “selling my soul” to get a job on FoxNews, evidently having missed my near 30 appearances on MSNBC within the last two months. ...
