Senator Barak Obama picked Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate... it was predicted by many at least a month ago.
But let's think about this choice... it appears to be great on the surface. Smooth Barry and Joltin' Joe!
I wager it's the best possible choice, but the question is will Barak let Joe do all the shitting on McCain?
I was just skimming through this week's TIME magazine, the one with Barak's face on the cover with the "Special: The Democrats" emblazoned across the top, and Joe Klein -- ever the nay-sayer (with good reason, though) -- makes a specific point about Obama needing to actualize his feelings to actionable items that will enable white people to get with the program.
See the way I see it, it didn't matter who Obama chose for his Veep (except for Hillary, still too much of a lightning rod; plus Bill didn't want her to win anyway... on that in a second), because what the race ultimately comes down to is:
Will the non-Black Americans -- whites, latinos, East Asians, and South Asians -- pull the arm in the ballot box for a Black man? The most vilified personage on the planet for the past 400 years? Think about it 400 years Black people have been demonized by whites, and most violently in the mass media age of the past 50 to 75 years (glossy photographs and film strips really know how to make a nigga seem to be the Public Enemy No. 1 for all God fearing Americans... and anyone who aspires for the American Dream (the piece of propaganda that the entire world had bought, until Dubya Bush assumed the reigns and stuck his limp dick into everyone's ass).
Of course a good percentage of whites have voted for Barak, but will they do so when it counts? The true believers are all the under 25 year olds, and shit even the under 21 years olds -- these people, this section of the population can make history on such a proportion that it'll be, it'll be Historical!!! Shit, if I know another word that summarizes what's going to happen better, do you?
Joe Biden has been someone I thought could have been a President in various other election cycles, and perhaps he might get his chance to run for the big office in eight years, but we'll have to see what the next few weeks tell us... it's Obama's election to lose and he needs to stay on message -- the GOP, led by Dubya Bush, fucked this country's economy and allowed the uber-class to make more money than they should have at the expense of those who toil and break their backs to make these rich peeps their cash -- wage slavery is a term I throw around quiet a bit, but think about it... working hard under the Bush regime... has done nothing to get you ahead. Working with a hand in the cookie jar and plastic ranch-flavored smile on your face is how you get your cash... can anyone say Jack Abramhoff?
On to my statement about Bill Clinton, this is the man who made us think twice when he claimed that getting his dick slobbed on in the Oval Office WAS NOT CONSIDERED SEX!!! Now a man that smart, that shrewd with his words didn't loose his ability to stay on message when he dropped all these bombs during the Primary that made him fall out of favor with the preponderance of Blacks, the Blacks who loved him like they ain't supposed to love no white man!
So we want to see Biden be the attack dog for Obama, but Barak needs to do the jugular slices himself. It's a perfect way to tag-team the so-called Maverick, and send the GOP rule.
It's nothing short of state-sanctioned revolt that we as a people get the GOP out of the cone of power IN ALL FEDERAL BRANCHES... especially the Supreme Court. Perhaps that John Grisham novel, I believe it's called The Pelican Brief, should be dusted off the shelf.
