Black President Maneuver

I couldn't find any George Akaeze videos on YouTube, a rare misfire, but of course they've got a whole lotta Fela Kuti, straight outta 1985 in this particular lumpen...The self-proclaimed Black President of Nigeria, and here we are...

Are enough of us ready for a black American president? It would be a giant step for our nation, but not our last, getting past our biggest sin, the slave trade...

Race and ethnicity aside, is a man as relatively young and unseasoned as Barack Obama ready to lead us through these dark and story times? Or do these times call for a dynamic leader from his generation, the next generation...Post-Boomer...

Born in 1961, Barack Obama might be considered a Gen-Xer, but he's on the very front edge of that generation, MY generation...What's important is that he's clearly not a Baby Boomer like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and that's the biggest reason I'm voting Obama in 2008...

John McCain is going to be 72 years old at the end of this month, which means he's PRE-Boomer...

Race and ethnicity and gender and political parties aside, it's simply time we make a move towards the future...It's time for Generation X to run things for the next couple decades, to see what we can accomplish, and there's certainly plenty of serious shit to keep us occupied...

Does Barack Obama have what it takes? I think he's worth 4 years of our time and our trust...

And speaking one last time about generations, I certainly urge the Millenials, the so-called "Echo-Boomers", the eldest of whom are coming of age right now, to vote for Obama as well...

Hotcha! Hank
