Clinton, Carville, and the Cronyism Factor

 In 2007 many including myself expected that on January 20^th 2009 Chief Justice John Roberts would administer the Presidential Oath of Office to Hillary Rodham Clinton, therefore restoring the Clinton name and brand back to the Oval Office.  Not m… Read full post »

 I vowed a return to a post 2012 election sense of normalcy when I realized the election was over. This happened as I watched the late returns from Northern Virginia foreshadow a long night for Mitt Romney and a glorious night for the man New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd calls… Read full post »

I am recruiting for three teams to produce three documentary film projects.

This blog was written November 2008  -  and yet - it still applies today still and haunts the GOP

So what shall we make of this historic election. Scripture says by ye fruit we shall know ye”. If one ascribes to the theory that it is much too… Read full post »

“I'm also fascinated by something John Dickerson said last night if you don't mind me quoting you. It is there is a sense out there that the American people are up to something we don't know about, and just might be about to hand us some surprise that they've been cook… Read full post »

President Elect Barack Obama November 2008

Few challenges facing America — and the world — are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking. We’ve seen record drought, spreading fami… Read full post »

I remember my 21^st birthday June 20^th 1980. I was in the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis at a concert, at the same time 977 miles away in Montreal Canada, a fight took place between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran. I was perhaps the only black in the stadium/… Read full post »

In the Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 911 former President Bush was mocked for his classroom silence in the moments following the announcement of a second airplane crashing into the World Trade Center, therefore eliminating doubt of an accident, however according to other reports, White House Chief of/… Read full post »

I went to a meeting of union folks recently, and the union, which pointed out national legislation that was deemed anti worker, passed around a bill. She then pointed to the bottom of the second page and said now “this one is the worse of them all.” I happened to look… Read full post »

I loved it when in the midst of the Health Care Debate former President Jimmy Carter called it down when said that racism was “an overwhelming portion” of the intensity against the policies of Barack Obama. A little known inside joke among black people – many proud that Barack Obama… Read full post »

If I were President Obama’s internal pollster, I would automatically downgrade his boss’ lead to keep his head in the game. In my mind the only thing that can bring down President Obama in his fight for reelection is overconfidence. The demographic/electoral roadmap for any national elect… Read full post »

The consensus is that President number 42’s speech was more electric than President 44’s. Agreed. Yet what I took away from Mr. Obama’s speech was two things - errors and omissions – and it is because of both he will win this election. First one of the most common themes in… Read full post »

“God gave Noah the rainbow sign

No more water, fire next time”

This will be consequential error by the President. Especially in the light the African American Community held President Bush in during Katrina.  

 In the big picture, the federal resources the throws their way will make a bigger difference, but if Mitt Romney gets there first, there will b… Read full post »

The thought came to me a few minutes ago while discussing Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and his ongoing “tax return” issues. According to the Internal Revenue Service Code 26 U.S.C. § 7213 any “unauthorized disclosures" of tax return information without the permission of the… Read full post »

This clip says it all.  I know the election is trending away from Mr. Romney, but surely this can not help his cause.

In 2008 candidate Barack Obama left little up to the imagination on what the first term of an Obama Administration would look like. He would close Gitmo, introduce a comprehensive Health Care Plan, he would close out the Iran war, and develop an Afghan exit strategy, and he would invest in… Read full post »

It was interesting television – as much as watching a party platform committee draft their view on taxes could be. Yet in the middle of my film editing I overheard Republican committee members after committee member speak up in favor of the long-standing mortgage interest deduction. Yet the com… Read full post »

I can imagine the fall of 2011 as Mitt Romney made his pitch to doubting investors – many who may have ultimately funding some of his 2012 rivals. During one side session Romney pulls an old world neocon to the side in hopes of laying the groundwork for a follow… Read full post »

1) This election is over – Mr. Ryan’s selection notwithstanding Mitt Romney was slipping ground in battleground state after battleground state even as President Obama’s recovery stalls.

 2) Mitt Romney was right

 Barack Obama will do and say anything to stay in power.* He… Read full post »

Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan suggests that he is willing to broaden and perhaps elevate the political debate in an election that will be decided in less than 90 days. Last SundayUlber conservative Ann Coulter on ABC’s This Week hoped for a more traditional pick suggesting that the/… Read full post »

Getting to the root is often ugly and painful.  And getting to the root of American debt is even more so. Yet for me it can be summarized in one word – Laziness. At the core of this nation was one word – work. It took work, and effort to defeat/… Read full post »

During the PBS News Hour an interesting dialogue between David Brooks of The New York Times, and EJ Dionne of the Washington Post took place, and in that rarefied journalistic air, the debate that has captured political discussion - outsourcing was elevated. Both agreed that what lies below the &ldqu/… Read full post »
