I am listening to President Pre-Elect Obama speech for the second time. He gave us straight talk from the heart. In 1968, some folk believed that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was not got for our county. However, without Dr. King’s leadership, our civil liberties and fundamental rights would not exist in our country as we know it. Just as with Dr. King, some folk will not support (vote) Barack Obama. In retrospect, just as the results of Dr. King's work continues to resonate throughout our country well after 40 years, Obama's leadership in The Whitehouse will produce similar results. His legacy will thrive well after his presidency.

However, I do have major concerns, since many people within my culture have been “flip-boned” by African-American leaders such as US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. There are some aspects of life in America that is going unaddressed:

1. Our justice system, especially family court, is broken;

2. Lack of government common-sense and oversight breeds corruption at all levels of government;

3. US Oil intake and distribution, as well as gasoline refinement, should be solely operated by the government and capitalism / privatization totally removed from the equation;

4. Overt employment disparities are at shameful, immoral, and disgusting levels;

Those are just a few things that we did not hear in his speech, but overall President Pre-Elect Obama was right on point.
