The Big Speech

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

I must admit that Barack Obama gave a pretty good speech last night and I felt that the entire lead up presentation was well done. Over the past few weeks, he seemed to be stumbling, but he responded very well (even responded to the egotism charges so strongly that I think he may have put [...]

On the Democratic National Convention

Posted on August 28, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

Biden is everything I expected. Boring and uninspiring. Michelle Obama’s, Kerry’s and both Clinton speeches were much better.

Sorry, but I am not moved. Meanwhile a bunch of left wing maniacs trying to levitate the National Mint (??) in Denver harassed and shouted “Kill Michelle Malkin” at Michelle Malkin in Denver. I [...]

Inspiring the Youth

Posted on August 27, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

Obama has qualities to admire (good father, hard worker, has a solid family unit) and it is good - in light of the problems in our community - for people of all races to see such a positive image. However, politically he is an empty suit and his egotism is now being used against him [...]

What is Friendship?

Posted on August 27, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

In my life - in many cases - I have expected too much from those I thought were friends. About 13 years ago, I met a man named Uthman. For a few years we used to talk and do activities together. In my mind, we were friends. However, I would find out later that [...]

Black in a New Light

Posted on August 25, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

The Wall Street Journal joins the growing debate on what is “African-American”
Interestingly, in a poll by the Pew Research Center 1007 African-Americans if blacks should be thought of as a single race…37% of respondents said no. I tend to agree with that and I expect for that number to grow

Barack Obama’s rise is driving a [...]

Biden?

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Tariq Nelson

All of this buildup and we get Joe Biden? I am not impressed. Obama is not running a very good campaign. In fact, during the primaries I was afraid that he would run out of gas like this.
John McCain has already put out an attack ad (below the fold) (more…)
