This is rather interesting to say the least….
Q: How do you respond to criticism that your administration hasn’t done enough to support black businesses?
A: My general view has been consistent throughout, which is that I want all businesses to succeed. I want all Americans to have opportunity. I’m not the president of black America. I’m the president of the United States of America, but the programs that we have put in place have been directed at those folks who are least able to get financing through conventional means, who have been in the past locked out of opportunities that were available to everybody. So, I’ll put my track record up against anybody in terms of us putting in place broad-based programs that ultimately had a huge benefit for African American businesses.
Q: The resurrected financial services industry hasn’t stepped up in terms of providing adequate capital to small- and minority-owned businesses.
A: There is no doubt that American taxpayers stepped in and pulled the banking industry out of the fire. It was controversial. It was messy. Ultimately it was the right thing to do for the economy. But it is true that once banks got back on their feet they haven’t been as aggressive in lending to small and medium-sized businesses as we would like. And I’ve had conversations with the major banks about this issue. What they will say is that some of the additional regulations have impeded some of their capacity to lend. We don’t see major evidence of that.
via Pres. Obama Talks Black Businesses, Black Unemployment [Exclusive].
My feelings on this are mixed. As a white American, I like the idea that President Obama realizes that he is the President of the United States of America and that he does not intend to kowtow down to any particular ethnic minority. However, if I were a black person, my feelings would be greatly different. Many blacks in this Country voted for Obama for the sole reason that he was black. These people are most likely feeling as if they have been taken advantage of by this President. I would imagine that the phrase “house negro” comes to their minds as well.
It just seems to me that Obama is doing everything he can, and making every gaffe that he can to prevent being reelected to the office. Because as it is now, the far left has abandoned him, the independents have abandoned him and even some of the mainstream liberal Democrats have left him too. My question is; what is left? Is Obama trying to scare off the black business owners too or the black vote in general? It sure seems that way to me.
November is going to be one interesting election. Because if Obama does not want the office of the President of the United States of America, there is a Republican who will be more than happy to take it from him. The sad and sick part is that there are Republicans are actually foolish enough to believe that Mitt Romney is actually a true, rib-rocked, Conservative — something that they will find out, come the winning of the election.
Those are my thoughts and I would like to see yours in the comments section below.
First Colorado, now this.
A mass shooting at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. Go Here, Here, Here, Here and Here to read all about it. (Via Memeornadum)
Via NBCNews.com, a detail that I am hoping like hell is wrong:
A temple committee member, Ven Boba Ri, told the Journal-Sentinel that people inside the temple described the shooter as a white male in his 30s.
“We have no idea,” he said of the motive. “It’s pretty much a hate crime. It’s not an insider.”
Ri told the Journal-Sentinel the gunman walked up to a priest who was standing outside the temple and shot him. Then he went inside and started shooting.
If this is even remotely true; we are so.very.much.screwed, when it comes to gun rights. It is over and we will have to wait to see if Mitt Romney wins or not and if the Republican take both houses. Because you know good and well; that the Democrats will enact strict Gun laws. It is that whole, “never let a crisis go to waste” thing.
Right now, prayers. Prayers for the victims, Prayers for the families —- and Prayer for our Nation. We’re about to lose it, if we are not real careful here. 🙁

A small snippet:
Dear Free-Range Kids: Recently my youngest daughter and I had an experience that really shook me up (both of us, actually), and I wanted to share it with you. We were walking to the library together, and she was holding my hand and trying to pull me into telephone poles and whatnot as we walked, which is a silly game that she enjoys. Suddenly a police car pulled up beside us, lights on and everything. The cop gets out of his car, says “Sir, please step away from the child,” then proceeds to crouch down and ask her if “everything is okay.”
After re-asking a few times, getting a more and more nervous “yes” each time, he stands up and informs me that someone had called 911 reporting what looked like a young girl being abducted. My daughter and I both explained what was really happening, and not only did he not even apologize, he chastised ME for not being, and I quote verbatim here, “More thankful someone was watching out for my daughter.” — Read the rest here
Big Government Statism at its finest there.
Another good reason keep it in your pants and not have kids. Our Government, at all branches, is simply out of control.

What an utter disgrace to the memory of President Harry Truman! 😡
TOKYO – A grandson of ex-U.S. President Harry Truman, who ordered the atomic bombings of Japan during World War II, is in Hiroshima to attend a memorial service for the victims.
Clifton Truman Daniel visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on Saturday and laid a wreath for the 140,000 people killed by the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing authorized by his grandfather. Another atomic blast in Nagasaki three days later killed 70,000 more.
“I think this cenotaph says it all — to honor the dead to not forget and to make sure that we never let this happen again,” Daniel said after offering a silent prayer.
via Truman grandson visits Hiroshima A-bomb memorial | Fox News.
Here’s the part that really sent me into a rage:
Daniel, a former journalist, met Sadako’s 71-year-old brother, Masahiro Sasaki, who survived the bombing, at a peace event in New York in 2010. They agreed to work together to deepen understanding between the two countries, which are still divided over the question of the legitimacy of the atomic attacks.
“There are other opinions, there are other points of view, and I don’t think we ever finish talking about that,” Daniel said after visiting a museum at the memorial. “The important thing is to keep talking, to talk about all of it.”
Daniel said in a statement that he decided to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki because he needed to know the consequences of his grandfather’s decision as part of his own efforts to help achieve a nuclear-free world. He said he hoped to hear stories from survivors about how they overcame their adversity.
Daniel also is to meet with the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and participate in discussions with students.
Susumu Miura, a 78-year-old Hiroshima native, wrote in the newspaper Tokyo Shimbun that he was enraged when he learned that many Americans still support the decision to drop the atomic bombs.
“But when I heard on the news that former President Truman’s grandson is visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I felt as if I lost some weight from my chest,” Miura wrote in an op-ed article.
Here is a clue for Mr. Truman and to Mr. Miura —- The imperial Military of Japan attacked us first, on what was known then, as the Republic of Hawaii. Not only were there military officers killed in that attack, there were innocent civilians on that Island killed too. Not only that, but the Japanese Military would not surrender, they kept fighting and would do so to the death. Because of this, President Truman decided to drop the bombs on Japan.
Now before some idiot tries to lecture me —-I know —- there were actions taken by the United States Government covertly to stop Japan from spreading aggression to the other eastern Countries. However, the fact remains that the empire of Japan attacked the United States Military base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 without warning, without consideration of civilian life or any other life for that matter. It was an act of cowardice and was answered by the righteous might of the United States Military.
For this liberal buffoon, Clifton Truman Daniel, to go to the land of our aggressor and basically tell them that we were wrong for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan is akin to urinating on the graves of our World War II dead. It is Anti-American, it is morally wrong and Clifton Truman Daniel should be forcefully deported out this Country for such an act! If we lived in a sane world and not one dominated by liberalism, but one of sane patriotism —- this liberal buffoon would be tried for treason!
As someone who has had multiple family members; including one who fought in Germany during World War II and earned a Silver Star and a Purple Heart for his service and bravery during the war, serve in the Military —— I find this action by this leftist jackass to be offensive and utterly insulting to the memory of ALL of those, who served in the United States Military. Furthermore, this is nothing more than a stab in the back and spitting in the face, to the fine people answered the call of the President of United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to fight for their Country against the evil axis of power that was threatening our Country at that time.
Clifton Truman Daniel owes the United States Military, its officers —- both current and former and their families an apology this most grievous insult.
Serves Adam Smith right for being an ass.
Adam Smith’s life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company. (You can watch the video here.)
We had an exclusive conversation with Smith where he shared his side of the story. Here’s a taste of what he said:
He has lost his job as Chief Financial Officer at Vante. (Smith claims that he was not given a chance to really explain himself before being terminated)
His family has been threatened with violence and death. (At one point, his email account was getting 3 messages a minute, mostly vulgar and threatening)
Because his home address was made public, he cannot live in his house. (And Mr. Smith is a married father of four – two of his children are adopted, special needs kids.)
Smith said that his original intent was to follow guidelines laid out in an online video, which included quoting a scripture.
Maybe next time Adam Smith will think a little more before he acts like a douche bag. Serves him right. 😡
Yes, I am blaming Obama and his brown shirts. (Update: ….and if anyone does not like it, I think it is just too darned bad… everything is coordinated by this Marxist President, everything — including harassment.)
The story via WRBL-TV:
News 3 has learned that Donald A. Perry, the Vice President of Corporate Public Relations has passed away.
Ross Cathy, the owner of the Midland, GA Chick-fil-A and family member of company CEO, Dan Cathy, tells News 3, Perry passed away this morning from a heart attack.
Chick-fil-A Inc. relased the following statement:
We are saddened to report the news to you that our dear friend Don Perry, vice president of public relations, passed away suddenly this morning.
Don was a member of our Chick-fil-A family for nearly 29 years. For many of you in the media, he was the spokesperson for Chick-fil-A. He was a well-respected and well-liked media executive in the Atlanta and University of Georgia communities, and we will all miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
You can read all about the latest involving intolerant liberal fascists and Chick-fil-A, by going here and here.
Well, Liberals, pat yourselves on the back. You have reached a new level, with me at least. You have actually achieved the feat of driving a man to his grave, with your idiotic and quite fascist ways. Now, bask in the glory that is of murderers. It really should not be of any strange feeling; after all, your people on a daily basis commit the murder of millions of unborn children every year. So, this should not be any different really. The man disagreed with your worldview, and you drove him to his grave.
For the record, the so-called right does it too; namely to me. However, I never thought I would ever see the day, when someone would drop dead, because someone who owns a company dared to take a stand for Christian Morals and gets persecuted for it, even to the point of one his own company officers dying of a massive heart attack.
My friends, this, is the Neo-Left and this; is why I no longer vote progressive — nor will I ever again. 😡
The neo-left, which is represented by the Democratic National Committee; is not the party of Roosevelt or Truman — and is not even remotely the honorable party as referenced by Ronald Reagan. It is a totalitarian fascist party, that is a small wooden bridge’s width away from outright Communism. The sad part is, that is that it is taking American and its people with it.
This is why I continue to blog, even when my own people attack me. This why I fight against the Neo-leftist, Anti-Christian, Anti-Business. progressive menace. Because of stuff, like this here.
God Bless America.

My attention has been called to the fact that someone is linking to this and another blog entry of mine, to prove that Zilla is lying. Okay first, this was written before I saw the video of her. I also wrote a retraction to the part about her faking her illness. You can read that here. I was only repeating what someone else told me. Which was a stupid mistake on MY part. I just was pissed because people did me dirty or I would have never repeated what I was told. So, stop linking to this posting. I will not pull the posting, as I want it to stay up, as an example of WHAT NOT TO DO, when blogging.
Anyhow, Zilla, sweetheart, if you read this, I am sorry these idiots a bugging you, again. Some people can really be jerks. 
As for those who did me dirty, my feelings remain the same.

In response to this bunch of stupidity. (It’s a non-direct link, so don’t worry.)
Sorry, I didn’t get into blogging to be popular; especially from likes of you all.
….and yes, you are faking your illness, a well-known and well respected professional blogger, who gets PAID to do write and blog told me so.
Eh, no worries. I never wanted to be popular, or even really accepted by them. Ankle-biters and Johnny-come-lately’s… All the are. Which is why I ignore them anymore.
I simply say this to them all…..
In German:
Um ehrlich zu sein mit euch allen. Ich könnte wirklich weniger, was Sie wirklich alle von mir denken, egal, überhaupt. Wirklich, ich nicht.
All das, weil ich es gewagt, die Wahrheit über einen idiotischen kriminellen con-Künstler Frau, die er sich zum Narren jeder mit ihr sprechen, denkt liegt etwa krank zu sein. Nicht nur, dass die Hälfte von euch leben von der Bundesregierung und der Rest von euch sind Idioten, die nicht verhaftet zu werden könnte viel weniger Erwerbsarbeit zu finden.
Sie werfen mir vor, nicht mit einer zu wollen für ihren Lebensunterhalt arbeiten. Nun, lassen Sie mich sehen, ich lebe im US-Bundesstaat Michigan. Der Bundesstaat Michigan hat die schlechteste Wirtschaft in der ganzen ganzen Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Nicht nur das, aber ich zufällig ein Einzelkind zu sein, der einzige Sohn, meine beiden 60-jährigen Eltern etwas.
Meine Frage an dieser sogenannten “Konservativen” ist dies, wäre es sehr wie Christus von mir zu meinen Eltern zu verzichten und fahre einen semi-LKW sein? Ich habe die Lizenz als solche zu tun. Ich persönlich denke, es wäre der Fluch des Bösen sein, so etwas zu tun, vor allem nach all der Dinge, die meine Eltern für mich in der Vergangenheit getan haben.
Es heißt Respekt. Etwas, diese Dummköpfe wissen nichts davon.
Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass meine amerikanischen Konservatismus nicht ist sehr beliebt bei euch alle überhaupt. Ich weiß, dass es Ihr Wilsonschen Neokonservatismus stört. Einige werfen mir vor Antisemitismus. Für das Protokoll, das tue ich nicht, noch habe ich jemals gehasst Juden überhaupt. Aber als Christ, für mich, hier zu sitzen und sagen, dass die Juden nicht bringen Anklage gegen den Herrn Jesus Christus wäre widersinnig. Die Bibel macht sehr deutlich, wer belogen Christus am Kreuz gelegt …. und es war nicht die Deutschen!
Ich überlasse es Ihnen, alle mit einem Vers aus der Bibel:
So euch die Welt haßt, so wisset, daß sie mich vor euch gehaßt hat. Wäret ihr von der Welt, so hätte die Welt das Ihre lieb; weil ihr aber nicht von der Welt seid, sondern ich habe euch von der Welt erwählt, darum haßt euch die Welt. Gedenket an mein Wort, das ich euch gesagt habe: “Der Knecht ist nicht größer denn sein Herr.” Haben sie mich verfolgt, sie werden euch auch verfolgen; haben sie mein Wort gehalten, so werden sie eures auch halten. Aber das alles werden sie euch tun um meines Namens willen; denn sie kennen den nicht, der mich gesandt hat. Wenn ich nicht gekommen wäre und hätte es ihnen gesagt, so hätten sie keine Sünde; nun aber können sie nichts vorwenden, ihre Sünde zu entschuldigen. Wer mich haßt, der haßt auch meinen Vater. Hätte ich nicht die Werke getan unter ihnen, die kein anderer getan hat, so hätten sie keine Sünde; nun aber haben sie es gesehen und hassen doch beide, mich und den Vater. Doch daß erfüllet werde der Spruch, in ihrem Gesetz geschrieben: “Sie hassen mich ohne Ursache.” Wenn aber der Tröster kommen wird, welchen ich euch senden werde vom Vater, der Geist der Wahrheit, der vom Vater ausgeht, der wird zeugen von mir. Und ihr werdet auch zeugen; denn ihr seid von Anfang bei mir gewesen. — (John 15:18-27 GLB)
…and that’s all I am ever going to say about that. 😀
It seems that either The U.K. Telegraph is either getting some bad information or someone over there has an axe to grind with Romney.
The story via The Telegraph:
As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing America’s enemies in his first foreign policy speech of the US general election campaign, advisers told The Daily Telegraph that he would abandon Mr Obama’s “Left-wing” coolness towards London.
In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa.
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.
Mr Romney on Wednesday embarks on an overseas tour of Britain, Israel and Poland designed to quash claims by Mr Obama’s team that he is a “novice” in foreign affairs. It comes four years after Mr Obama’s own landmark foreign tour, which attracted thousands of supporters.
He lands in London early on Wednesday morning, in advance of meetings with David Cameron and other senior ministers on Thursday. He will also meet Ed Miliband and Tony Blair before attending two lucrative fundraisers and the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
[….]
“Obama is a Left-winger,” said another. “He doesn’t value the Nato alliance as much, he’s very comfortable with American decline and the traditional alliances don’t mean as much to him. He wouldn’t like singing ‘Land of Hope and Glory’.”
The two advisers said Mr Romney would seek to reinstate the Churchill bust displayed in the Oval Office by George W. Bush but returned to British diplomats by Mr Obama when he took office in 2009. One said Mr Romney viewed the move as “symbolically important” while the other said it was “just for starters”, adding: “He is naturally more Atlanticist”.
Mr Obama has appeared less interested in relations with London than Mr Bush. He repeatedly rebuffed Gordon Brown when the then-prime minister sought a meeting at the UN in 2009 and was criticised for responding to an elaborate gift with a set of DVDs that did not work in Britain.
The whole quote, if true, has all the trappings of dog-whistle racism. The problem is, according to Jeff over at “The Lid”, not a word of it is even remotely true:
There is one problem with the quote, it is a fraud!
Andrea Saul, Romney’s press secretary, disputed the comments and emphasized that they did not reflect the beliefs of the former Massachusetts governor.
It’s not true. If anyone said that, they weren’t reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign,” she told CBSNews.com in an email I emailed my contact within the campaign who backed up Ms Saul’s response.
The fact that Romney denied that anyone in his campaign made that comment doesn’t matter to the US press, neither does the fact that Mr Swaine hasn’t backed up his charge with proof.
Good work on the part of Jeff to put out the truth on this story. I really do not believe this one to be a effort to knock Romney on the part of the Telegraph; however, I do believe it to be a result of some bad sourcing or planting of a false story, by someone who might have an axe to grind with Mitt Romney. This happens quite a bit in Politics.
However, Mitt Romney does have a bit of another problem, which I am covering in my next blog posting.
