Walk with da swagger you were born with, America! Now gimme da loot!

So I am sitting here thinking about the bailout of the automobile industry, barack obama, and The Clipse. I know; pretty random collection of thoughts but hey what can I say.

Lets startout with the automobile industry. So the unemployment rate is up to over 5.5% and we are probably going to hit about 6.8% closer to 7.5% im guessing before we even start to change the trend; and the Government is seriously going to bail out these car companies? I mean middle America, who is the "Heartland" for these companies, are 45% or so against it. But I guess we learnt our lesson in the 2000 election, that the populouses voice is sometimes not as loud as a lobbist's. Kinda B.S. in my opinion but until the country unites and does something about it ain't gonna change. I mean even with a catalyst such as 9-11 we united to a point and then became tired with it. Where are all the flags and "Proud to be American" signs now? hmmmmm questionable...Patriotiscm is only socially acceptable during times of tragedy; that is suspect in my eyes.

Speaking of catalysts for change and unification the election of Barack Obama unified two fronts. The progressively-minded majority of America and the backward thinking, racist red-neck agendaed America. Not that I have an opinion. I mean take skin color out of the equation and bottom line is I am a staunch Dem so Obama was the only choice, but when people vocally show racism towards the man they don't even know anything more about, than the libelous commercials and propaganda of John McCain and republican groups, what can you expect.

The election of Barack Obama did bring about unification and rejoicing in democratic area's. You should have seen the crowds storm the street in the epicenter of liberalism of Cambridge, MA. It doesn't change the fact that we are in one of the most tumultous times in our country in the last 50 years. Even during this time I am proud to be an American even with all our warts.

Lastly, The Clipse dropped the new mixtape "Road Till the Casket Drops" is off the chain, I suggest if you like hip-hop at all you should give it a listen, even though it is a lil glam-hop for me. If your down to vibin' with the swagger you were born wit and sippin champagne this mix is sparkley. That is all 4 now I am out like a dyslexic kid in a GNILLEPS EEB!
