[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 977572, member: 4816"] UpSTATE, When do we stop living in the past ? Obama had a mother that lived on the wild side and a father that was never there --very true but he also had grandparents that sacraficed much to give to him. Along with that although in his own words he was in a drug and drunken stupor the last years of his High School Basketball days in Harlem---opps I meant Hawaii--He attended Ivy league Universities that the AVERAGE American can only dream about. How He entered those schools and how they were paid for remains a mystery even today. Michele Obama also took full advantage of Affirmative action programs and again received benefits that your children would only dream of. You would think at that time Michele would be proud of what her country had provided for her because of past injustices. No. In her words very clearly --the first time she was proud of her country was when her husband was running for the Presidency. Why do we not listen to a persons own words ?? The lack of work ethic I see from many people today, not willing to take "start up" jobs and work their way up, the ease they accept government handouts, excuse me I meant "ENTITLEMENTS"--I for the very first time --am ashamed of our country. Especially with the broken promises, no change, no hope enriching themselves politicians on both "sides" When they do not do as they say --either party --We the people must insure their power trip will be a short one term ---that is the only way we will see real change. P.S. UPS top --very top management is a microcosm of America today with many of the top Politicians --including the President and the Attorney general who are Black. UPS has one Chief Operating officer --he is Black UPS has three Domestic Regions ---Two of the three Region Managers are Black. UPS has twenty Districts--over 50% of the District managers are minorities. Enough about the past --lets live in the present and look forward to a future --where ALL will be judged by their character and not their race ,creed or sex. [/QUOTE]
