THE DYING MYTHS LAST GASP(In Defence of our President)

I've decided to take a short pause from my usual area of posts. And I'm doing so because I feel this really needs to be addressed. I've also intentionally tried to stay clear of political topics on this blog but I feel someone need to say something here. So please indulge me for a rare and brief digression.
I normally arise daily at a very abnormal hour and one of the things I find spending these pre-dawn hours doing is watching the "Morning Joe' political talk show on MSNBC. I've done so since the network hastily replaced "Imus in the Morning' several years ago. I was skeptical from the beginning but remained as open as possible that this former right-wing Republican Congressman from the Florida panhandle would have something interesting to tell the public. My skepticism remains. You see, Mr. Morning Joe, loves to parade a countless number of so-called people in the know on his program each day and manages to insult as many as he can who disagrees with his 'CONSERVATIVE' bent. To his credit, he does somehow pretend to try and fit in with the mainstream view at times but to me it's so obviously phony. I watched this man throughout the election season(2007 and 2008) each morning and was amazed at how much he tried to sway public sentiment against then IL. Senator Barack Obama. Often echoing that ultra right-wing phrase of 'he's the most liberal Senator in Congress'. The Republicans, Right, and Conservatives(no distinction among the three) in this writer's view, tried their best to prevent the first legitimate Black American man from ascending to the highest office in our country and failed. That Illinois Senator prevailed and became on January 20Th 2009, the 44Th President of the United States of America.
I sit and watch and listen to a constant barrage of comments that our current President is 'failing', and will ultimately lead this nation 'over a cliff' , as Morning Joe loves to state. Almost all of his guests (mostly 'white' men and women) seem to have suddenly become instant economists and mostly all predict, to the glee of Morning Joe, that this President has and will 'FAIL'. Who would they rather have running this country at this time? John(the economy is basically sound)McCain? Sarah(I can see Russia from my backyard)Palin? or maybe George(who literally did RUN this country over a cliff in 8 years)Bush? The obvious answer from the point of view of most Black Americans including myself, is neither, either or just anyone else. You see, it was most disturbing to SOME(and I want to emphasize some and not even close to the majority)Americans that a 'black' man is now their 'leader'. How can this be? Not a vile 'black man'. They are lazy and unintelligent and irresponsible and non trustworthy and criminal and don't have the slightest clue.
You see, his election was somehow a fluke even illegitimate(see Fox News and Acorn), yes, unbelievably they are still crying 'Acorn' on that network. His election was ONE thing to have to swallow, but to somehow to have a successful administration? No way, no how, never. We must oppose him at each and every turn, no matter how small the issue. We must see to it that he fails miserably. Fails in procuring a sensible health care program for Americans. Fails to revive an economy on the brink of depression left to him by a failed Republican administration. Fails to end two wars and get our young men and women back home from death and dying around the world. 'Failure', 'Failure', 'Failure' is all that they have left to hope and pray for. Why? You ask the young black woman sitting at the reception desk in your office. You ask the young black man at your parking garage ticket booth taking payment. You ask those 3 black men standing in front of the liquor store with brown bags in their palms. You ask the black history professor in your class. They will all tell you why if they are honest. That hideous myth that has perpetuated this nation since this nations inception, is slowly beginning to reveal itself. That myth which was taught to us by our mothers and fathers and and their parents and their parent's parents and all the way back. That terribly destructive and cancerous myth is now in serious jeopardy.
