The only boy who could ever groove me...

Thanks be unto bistet for her concern for my blood pressure and her questiums: "I was surprised that there wasn't so much as one post about Obama and his beloved preacher man. Has his relationship with his church, and "the speech" after changed or affected you thoughts on the upcoming presidential race?

Ok, Ok, If I Have To Pick
Obama is a statesman; Whitey's on the moon:
These are the take-home points, and they'll be on the test.
In one well-practiced speech that made New York Jews swoon,
Obama put our fears of [x]-ism to rest
With talk of "pastors, priests, and rabbis"... no imam?
Of course not! It is clear that "the perverse and hate-
ful ideologies of radical Islam"
(his only reference thither) do not cooperate
In doing "God's work here on Earth"—like Christians do.
And yet, that it's not race we speak about but class
He articulates in full: Folks that don't look like you
Are not the ones kicking your poor, hard-working ass;
Look to the corporations. Here, Obama rocks.
Not black enough? Too black? Just right for Gourdilocks.

Whining Is Easier Than Activism
My anger, of course, is a shill
To distract all my readers until
They forget to correct
My defining aspect:
An astonishing absence of will.
