NOTE (added Feb 1, 2010) TO DUMB-HEADS: The following article is sarcasm. Read on; you will “get it.”

Yes dear reader, I am admitting to you that I am a racist! I don’t like President Obama, nor do I like my state’s governor Paterson, both of them are African American.

You see, I am totally in favor of the U.S. losing control of the situation in Iraq; the military having its worst months ever in Afghanistan, and the world’s most unpredictable nations moving ahead with WMD programs, while the U.S. gives up its plan for a land-based missile defense system in Eastern Europe. In addition, I am all for the Labor Unions, who ran to the ground the U.S. auto industry, getting a bigger piece of the Auto pie than did the secure creditors, and the unions having their bullies run Town Hall meetings rather than peaceful citizens having their say. I am all for this. Furthermore, I support the U.S. running up deficits 40%-50% bigger than what was expected back in December, and how can I be against the national unemployment rate that is now at just 9.7%? I also support a stimulus bill that six months later still has the economy losing more jobs than the economy lost before the panic of the Lehman collapse gripped the nation.

But despite being in support of all these policies, I still do not approve of the job President Obama is doing. You sure wonder why, right? Well simple, I am racist! I cannot stand African Americans in leadership positions. Why do you all think I hate Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice, and Condi Rice being a few years ago the first female African American secretary of state? Simple: I hate African Americans. Ooops, my mistake. I just noticed that I actually love the fact that Mr. Thomas is on the court, and I still like how Ms. Rice spoke in public on vital issues.

Here in NY is the same thing. I am so proud of my state, between others how the Legislator was the laughing stock of the world without the governor having a clue how to get things under control, and how in this recession Governor Paterson used most of the Stimulus money for increased spending rather than covering current expenditures. I am so proud of this state’s motor vehicle administration, where it takes a damn few hours to change a stupid address on a driver’s license. I am SO in love with all this, but I still don’t want Governor Paterson to run for reelection next year. You know why? You got it: because he is black. Ill rather have a state with such weird things like a functioning Legislator and motor vehicle system; lower taxes, and lower unemployment rate, than actually having an African American as my governor for one more day.

Until a short while ago, I lived in New York’s Village of Spring Valley where village tax under the current Mayer’s eight year administration went up almost double than under his predecessor, yet the village still doesn’t have an extra dime in its coffers. In addition, the Police harass people for miner things, and one of the most important roads in the area is locked down for almost two years due to a stretch of less than two-hundred feet that the village still didn’t figure out how to fix. I would have given the current mayor high marks for his great work, if not for the fact that he is African American.

 You see, I liked his predecessor. You know why? Because he was a White man. Oops, wrong again, he is actually Black too. So why did I like the predecessor’s  work so much that I would want him back controlling the village where I grew up in? ah, I get it. He balanced budgets, cut wasteful spending and had a friendly Police Department.

I am so filled with hate, that I don’t even know what I support and why I support it.
