Delegator in Chief

-Where pp fears to go, The Gov was there yesterday!  That being the NAACP Convention in Houston, TX.  With nine-six percent of the black's  voted for pp in 2008, one would think it wouldn't hurt pp to pay a return visit in 2012.  In his stead, pp is sending the GI.  Maybe pp's reluctance to attend: is attributable to these folks are not sending their weekly $10.00 to his campaign coffers.  Just maybe he doesn't have the guts to face the black community, since his hope and change programs dumped >14% of the voting age blacks to the unemployment lines or back into the welfare system.  Unemployment amoung black youth it is even worse >40%.  Those blacks gaming the system, some by necessity,  most for generations as MO for survival  without working,  doubled over the last 3 1/2 years.
- The Gov like I said was there yesterday, and gave his standard speech, he gives to ALL Americans, no matter their  race, color or creed.  He made it out of there alive and maybe picked up 1 or 2 votes.
-Did you hear pp on a recent campaign tour, reflects back on his youth.  Once  mama, greatgrandma, and my sister and I spent a month on vacation on the US mainland touring many states.  We traveled by Greyhound buses and passenger trains, stayed at Howard Johnson a lot,  and ate in greeezy spoons. We were not rich, we were just middle-class folks on vacation, like many of you.
-Now I have a problem: 1)  he lived in Hawaii after age 10, until leaving for  the mainliand to attend college in the California age 17, while in a haze,  too much beer and drugs.  (from age 6 to 10 he lived in Indonesia with his mama, sister and black daddy II). 2) You can't take a Greyhound bus or a train from Hawaii, to California, need to take a boat or fly, big $s. 3)  OK, now they stayed the balance of the month traveling in the states as noted  above.  5) Then they had to return to Hawaii, but it probably was a round trip ticket. 6) He gave this family related vacation speech in his preacher man MO and the crowd clapped and cheered. 7)  Is this an example of how the middle-class took vacations in the early 1970s?  8) My family didn't take month long vacations in the 1960s 1970s, 1980s  if any at all, but I guess we weren't middle-class, we were just hard working, God fearing, poor folks striving to break the glass ceiling into  middle class status.
