Same here. Back in my more naive days of working for the government, I managed the largest budget and the programs that needed the most attention but it was always the staff who failed at every turn who were praised. I still have a letter of commendation from other workers who saw what game the bosses were playing. It was so obvious that I’d get calls from medium level supervisors from other regions but soon this reward the dregs mentality became widespread. Then Reagan came into office and cut programs. Some of us saw the writing on the wall and found new jobs before getting replaced by the do-nothings. My replacement was a guy who hadn’t been to work for a month and never called in to let anyone know if he was coming back, sick, or what.
“So we got Condoleezza Rice, we got Colin Powell. I know they’re heroes for some people, but for a lot of us they’re not.”
These people, including Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and many many others, make me proud to be an American. Any young black person in this country who has taken the time to read about Condi Rice’s life and acheivements would surely be proud of her and want to emulate her.
My choir director in HS told us, it was in the late 60s, that Belafonte was a throat singer and his style should be avoided otherwise you’ll go hoarse very quickly.
Sure enough, it was in a short time, probably less than five years of singing the Calypso Song, that his voice was completely shot. the guy now speaks in a whisper.
What do people like this guy do for a living? I mean where does he get his money from?
Cain is the best thing that could have ever happened to the Republican party and the campaign.
