The Basic Social Compact in America and the The Black Agenda

Their vision is less about reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic social compact in America”

President Barack Hussein Obama
"We have to live within our means, reduce our deficit, and get back on a path that will allow us to pay down our debt," President Barack Hussein Obama (with a straight face)
"This is not a vision of the America I know,"

"They want to give people like me a $200,000 tax cut that's paid for by asking 33 seniors to each pay $6,000 more in health costs? That's not right, and it's not going to happen as long as I'm president.

"The fact is, their vision is less about reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic social compact in America.

President Barack Hussein Obama (with a straight face and the big bald face lies )
"Doing nothing on the deficit is just not an option," he said. "Our debt has grown so large that we could do real damage to the economy if we don't begin a process now to get our fiscal house in order."President Barack Hussein Obama (with a straight face )

Racial Distress Hits Baseball

In the eyes of baseball Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig, the sport he oversees is in a golden era. Attendance at major league games is at an all-time high, TV and Internet revenues are robust, and competitive balance never has been better.

Amid the good news, however, baseball is fighting a distressing trend: The number of black Americans in the game has dwindled to an all-time low.

Stop the presses! Imagine the horror, revulsion, shock, awe, vexation, pity, pain and platitudinous nonsense that would be generated if the article were written about basketball and the diminished presence of white players. Change two words in the sentence and we get:

...Amid the good news, however, basketball is fighting a distressing trend: The number of white Americans in the game has dwindled to an all-time low."

Who cares how many blacks are on a baseball team and who is distressed?
