putting obama to bed

let me just make this real clear:

obama is NOT the messiah.

obama is NOT the great black or white hype.

obama did NOT vote against that horrible, immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional FISA bill ...

obama did NOT go to jena, mississippi.

obama will NOT be doing rallies with sharpton in the streets (yet).

obama will NOT cure racism.

obama can NOT automatically end poverty.

obama will NOT end black-on-black murder in chicago, philadelphia, or houston.

obama will NOT obliterate the GOP.

obama will NOT scrub the capitol of corruption.

obama may NOT be able to necessarily pass universal health care through congress.

sorry.

as much as i personally love and support his candidacy i have never expected any of the above from the man.

(he IS only a man as in huMAN being.)

in the days and months to come i know many of you will struggle with the imposition of reality into obama's hopeful image ... i know many will be disappointed by what he didn't do, what he did say, who he had dinner with, and what he voted for ...

so i suggest, you lower your expectations NOW. i suggest you figure out what YOU CAN DO.

and then, go do it. with love and hope.

leave obama to do his thing ... actually, i think his greatest and this country's greatest achievement has been reached: DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

erythang else is just ... extra. like cake. like seconds. like icing. like french fries. like cheese. extra ....

and this is the last time i'll say this (maybe?) cuz i hate to explain the obvious. it is what it is. america is fucked up. it's going to take a lot more than one man. one president. to fix all our ills. to eradicate 'politics as usual' it's going to take more than a few speeches. it's going to take more than all the congresspeople in washington. it's going to take more than all the teachers in america. it's going to take more than just the parents of bad ass kids. it's going to take more than a billion dollars. it's going to take more than removing all the pedophiles and pervs. it's going to take more than a new foreign trade agreement. it's going to take more than a gang truce. it's going to take more than education. it's going to take more than prayer. it's going to take more than peace.

oh, i don't know it might take ... a whole lotta LOVE ...

so, put all that hype ... to bed. it's dead.

hope is alive. BELIEVE ... ... ... in YOURself.

put bam bam to bed, bed, bed. that man is tired right now ;)
