The bad news is that, for Blacks, especially poor ones, unemployment is rising while income is falling. But the banks and other companies Obama bailed out with hundreds of billions in taxpayer money are reporting "record profits" and paying big bonuses -- reportedly one hundred million to one energy "trader.' (The energy traders are those who help artificially jack up prices for gasoline and home heating oil.)
Of course, the banks, like Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and others are the ones who "donated" all that money to the Obama Campaign. Barack Obama takes care of his "friends." He appreciates Black votes, but isn't about to do anything to earn them.
Might it be time yet to start rubbing the noses of yesterday's Obama supporters in such facts? Gee, the first mixed race president is presiding in the most precipitous drop in the standard of living -- and the quality of life -- for Black people. As Michelle Obama said (althuogh not in the way she meant it), "It's time for Black folks to wake up."
Oh, and Barack's and Michelle's combined income last year was $2.8 milion. Sasha and Malia go to a (mostly white) private school that costs $30,000 a year -- for each of them. At least one guy with some African ancestry is doing very, very well.

Hard Questions for Barack, Michelle
The MSM (mainstream media) delights in asking Sarah Palin loaded questions, but they have no interest in asking Obama anything that might even mildly irritate "The Great One." For example, the Anchorage Daily News (http://www.adn.com/) hates Gov. Palin with a passion and has repeatedly asked her to verify that she is in fact Trig Palin's mother.
NOTE: On Friday evening, I'll be posting a piece on "The MSM's Decline and Fall." It will deal with how the major news networks and publications are drowning in a fetid pool of bias and bile -- and what we can do to accelerate the process of their demise.
Note: On my other blog (on Wednesday) I have a provocative piece about "Michelle Obama: How Many Abortions?" As the saying goes, "Enquiring minds want to know."
I don't recall them asking for such verification by Michelle Obama about the parentage of Malia and Sasha. Why not?
Overall, the media avoid asking any searching questions about Sasha and Malia -- and perhaps on whether Michelle aborted any of her fetuses and, if so, why. When has Michelle been asked why she subjected her children to Rev. Wright's hate-filled sermons denigrating women and white people? Was that a sign of responsible parentage by the Obama's?
And why hasn't she been queried about the real nature of her "community relations" job -- at $300,000 per year -- at the University of Chicago hospital? Reportedly, her job was to increase the hospital's earnings by discouraging poor people from seeking care. If that wasn't her job, then what exactly was her function?
Obama has admitted to using cocaine earlier in his life. When did he stop, if in fact he ever stopped? And, did he ever sell cocaine or heroin or other mind-altering drugs? And if so, to whom? When Michelle indicated that, prior to Obama's triumphs, she had "never been proud of [her] country," was that meant as a slam against the Clinton presidency?
Why hasn't Obama ever been asked if Joe Biden's story was true about his being offered the job of Secretary of State? Or is that just another in Biden's long string of lies about himself? Why doesn't at least one reporter dig into that story?
Also, why hasn't Obama been asked about his two enthusiastic endorsements of Blagojevich? Why did he change his mind about the appointment of machine politician Roland Burris? Why does there appear to be a strong correlation between companies that donated to Obama's last two campaigns (2004 for the U.S. Senate and 2008 for the presidency) and the amount of bailout money they received?
Of course such questions would never be posed to "The Great One" or TGO's angry, sour wife. When Michelle appeared on "The View," she presented the "enquiring" ladies there with a list of questions they were not allowed to ask. Sarah constantly gets asked "no win" questions right out of the "when-did-you-stop-beating-your-spouse?" category.
The media doesn't do contrasts between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, mainly because she has solid executive-style achievements and basically he has none. Why don't we hear more about his signal lack of success as a "community organizer?" Why don't we hear more about his dismal records as an Illinois State Senator and a U.S. Senator, where he rarely even showed up in DC?
Amazingly, we know a great deal about Sarah Palin and her family. Essentially, however, we know nothing about the Obamas and their lives together. Presumably, there are reasons why they keep their lives such a secret, but if we're waiting for the MSM to help us there, we're almost certainly waiting in vain.

Obama: Shortchanging Malia and Sasha
Two pieces of great interest to people opposed to Obama's bizarre accumulation of debt and his reduction of our nation's security: (Gov. Palin asked yesterday why Obama is cutting Alaska's missile defense at precisely the moment when North Korea seems to have drawn a nuclear bead on Sarah's home state. Obama has not provided any soothing, albeit meaningless, words to her yet.)First, please consider listening to (and calling) the all-night Blog Talk Radio program originating Wednesday night. It should be a dandy.
Host: THE YOUTUBE FORUM
Type: Party - Night of Mayhem
Network: Global
Start Time: Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 8:30 pm

W.A.M. Strategist and Tsunami Media founder, Jacquerie.
This program is dedicated to a current vlogger (sallee5) who was suspended for exercising her 1st Amendment Rights. Anyone who would like to call in and comment about the outrage of her suspension please participate. 8:30 PM EST. Call-in Number: (718) 508-9104. Caution! Danger Zone! Please come locked and loaded! Molon Labe!
Second, if you're disturbed by the current economic situation and wondering what caused it, please read the following story in The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905/imf-advice.
The story by an MIT economist is called "The Quiet Coup," and it appears in the May 1 issue of The Atlantic. If you ever wondered why investment banks (which no longer exist as such) and other financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Merrill-Lynch, AIG, and Citigroup contributed millions of dollars to candidate Barack Obama, the Atlantic piece will give you great insight. (You may have noticed that said financial institutions have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout money, while, say, autoworkers, are getting squat. Guess why.)
Also, Glenn Beck has discovered one of my favorites, Niall Ferguson, an economic historian at Oxford, Standford, and Harvard -- and that's saying a lot for a guy (Ferguson) who's basically conservative. On today's (Tuesday's) Beck program on FOX, Niall discussed how he predicted -- in 2004 -- that debt would eventually crush the U.S. economy (in his book "Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire).
Another piece that predicted exactly what would happen (in 2005 in the magazine Foreign Affairs is by Brad Setser and Nouriel Roubini. It's called "How Scary is the Deficit?" It's at: http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/60840/brad-setser-et-al/how-scary-is-the-deficit
At the time, some economists made fun of Setser and Roubini for suggesting that the unthinkable might happen -- i.e., that both housing prices and the stock market might tank. None of those critics is laughing anymore.
Basically, what Setser, Roubini, and Ferguson point out is that the U.S., under Clinton and Bush, made a "Deal with the Devil," Communist China. They would finance trillions of dollars of our debt, and in exchange, we would send all the money (plus some more) back to China to keep their factories humming 24X7. Obama's "solution" to the Deal/Devil is to increase sharply the borrowing from China -- the better to keep those Chinese factories going (while ours of course shut down).
The "good news" about Obama's policies for those of us in the current generation is that the truly crushing part of the debt will be paid off by future generations, specifically, our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who may end up not liking us very much when they find out we've arranged to have them pay our bills. I wonder what Malia and Sasha will say to daddy (and mommy) when they find that out?
