Though the revival flavor was not unwelcome, what drove me to spend the time and money to be there was anger. I'm an employer, and I'm angry at what this administration has done to my country, so I was a bit disappointed in the lack of red meat.
Perhaps there are statistically few blacks who work in the (enemy) private sector. Fewer even who own small businesses such that they could feel the target on their backs. The shame is that, again statistically, among blacks who aren't recipients of government largess, so many have come to be employed by government in the delivery mechanism.
I'll bet the blacks who were in attendance own businesses, or are smart enough to realize what Obama is doing.
I was a bit disappointed in the lack of red meatI agree. I would like to have seen it be more political. But I figured the point was to widen the audience and give the lie to the media labeling us all as "haters".
