Wasn't that Obama's the catch phrase, Change You Can Believe In? Didn't that phrase somewhere along the way translate into, Hope You Can Believe In?
Now the catch word he is dishing out to the Congressional Black Caucus is, "faith."
Obama wants blacks to, -- have faith in the future -- and understand that the fight won't be won if they don't rally to his side."
Well, the candle holder might get burned holding a hot but empty candlestick.
The candle wax might run all over the hand of the candlestick of empty unfulfilled promises.
Obama is like one of the sons in the Bible whose father asks him to go tend to the vineyard. He replies to his father that yes he will--but he does not.
Now that he needs the Black Caucus, the Black Leaders and the black people to vote for him, Obama asks them to, " have faith in the future -- and understand that the fight won't be won if they don't rally to his side."
But " Obama's track record indicates that once he gets the wine from his vineyard Obama will soon forget those who put on their marching shoes to hit the pavement hard on his behalf.
One thing Obama apparently understands: without the Black vote this time around Obama has a very little chance of a second term.
He " gives the illusion that he is pleading with them" "the fight won't be won if you don't rally to my side."
Or, is he issuing a threat?
Beware.
Obama needs your help. He says.
Will you get his if he has a second term?
Obama is right in one aspect. It is time to put on those marching shoes and hit the pave met hard working for a candidate who indeed works for the working class, for the middle class, for all those who are in any way in need in this country, those who need jobs, those who need rehabilitation, those who need food. A candidate whose track record speaks to the values and policies that indeed most of America is crying for. A candidate who can primary Obama, get on the ticket, and get elected to run this country in a direction opposite from the direction Obama's ship has been taking it.
IT IS TIME TO LISTEN TO THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE.
