Words From Donna Brazile

Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)

I heard a clip on Michael Baisden's show, this week. He played it a few times, and each time, I was more impressed with Donna Brazille's take on this year's nominee for the Democratic Party. She really hit the nail right on the head. The description of Barack Obama's zygote beginnings of life in the womb of a White woman, as a Bi-Racial Human Being, to his being raised by his Caucasian grandparents, maintaining grades that would send him to Harvard and Columbia, in no way could earn him an "uppity" moniker as has been attributed to someone who had to make and find a way out of a different upbringing than many of us have experienced. Uppity, by no means, reaching up to achieve the best life possible and reaching out to others, in no way makes Senator Obama uppity. It makes him a determined, hard-working and sensitive individual who has his finger on the pulse of what our country is in the midst of living through. In some ways, he is nothing like many of us and in other ways he is just like many of us. Who hasn't had to strive under difficult circumstances and still keep their wits about themselves and keep their eyes on the prize? I do it every day and I'm sure most of you do it, too. We are more alike than not. For the CHANGE America needs, I think Barack Obama is the man to do it. He is MY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Barack the Vote!! Barack the Vote!! Barack the Vote!!
