In Order To Get Props In Death, You Must Report The News – Not Make History!

“So take my strong advice…just remember to always think twice!” –Michael Jackson


It was the evening of July 17, 2009 when we learned that the legendary journalist Walter Cronkite had passed away at 92. I agree, the nation suffered a loss. Journalists wish they could be even 25% as great as he was; but Cronkite gave the news, he didn’t make it. Go ask someone in Madagascar if they know who Walter Cronkite was and they will look at you like you’re stupid. But I bet they can perform the routine to Thriller. Regardless, less than 24 hours after the death of Walter Cronkite, “President” Obama appears to have knocked his poor wife Michelle down the White House staircase trying to get to the video camera in order to tape a statement about Cronkite. Yet, he never issued a formal statement about the death of the most famous person in the world, Michael Jackson. Hell, Cronkite died just before 8PM Eastern Time and the White House had a written statement out before midnight the same night.


Anyone see a problem here? Anyone noticing the Manchurian yet? http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2012480281/ Somebody check and see if Air Force One is stocked with Cup a Noodles or crack, cause Smokey Chops is on some serious bull$hit now. Just watch…

Its kind of like when one of your elders tells you that something ain’t right because they have an achy ankle or their gout starts acting up for no reason. Something like a premonition, but not quite. More like something just isn’t kosher, yet you can’t put your finger on it.


I knew it then.


Then was the day that I voted for Hillary Clinton in the Presidential primary. Oh yeah, I am BLACK as they come (so Black I'm blizzack), but I didn’t vote for Obama in the primary. Something wasn’t right. It was a feeling in my motherfu*king ankle. I knew that every politician is a politician and that means untrustworthy. At least with Clinton, I knew what I was getting. But it doesn’t matter if you add color, can’t find where they cheated on their spouse or give them two cute kids, a wife and a Portuguese Water Dog - they are all pandering hypocritical liars by nature.

Now I did try to shake the feelings I had about this dude. When Hillary lost in the primary, I ended up voting for him (as if I had a choice when he ran against those two Republican kooks). I didn’t say anything about his first 100 days. I didn’t judge him when he sped past the reasonable amount of time in which to say something about any issue, to the “got-damn Negro” are you gonna acknowledge that North Korea is firing shit off or not? I kept my mouth shut! But no more dammit! No more!


Perhaps you have already read my coverage on Obama’s lack of proper protocol and down right bad manners in the wake of Michael Jackson’s death. If not, take two of these and get back after the break…

Through my sorrow, sadness and tears that came with the passing of the most famous talent ever to walk the earth (that would be MJ), I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the “President” had not made any official statements about Michael’s death.

Then, when he finally did make his shady on-camera disingenuous comments, they came 7 and 11 days later. And boy, were his comments “heartfelt”. Not! He called Michael Jackson’s music “stuff.” He made sure to include a negative whenever he was gracious enough to possibly sound like he was giving Michael Jackson a compliment. He sat there in the chair giving the "interview" looking and sounding like Silly D. Williams without the wavy hair. (He probably wishes he had naturally wavy hair though, then he wouldn’t have to sleep with a doo-rag on like normal b-folk do.)
















The unified excuse from all the "Obamanators" was, “he’s got more important things to do.” Really, So on June 26, 2009 he had more important things to do like this?
Oh no wait, wasn’t he trying to give amnesty to all the illegal aliens that day?






What's so got-damn funny?







Now I thought on July 18, 2009 he was trying to screw up my healthiness-er health care? Guess he got finish with that early enough to go official on Walter Cronkite.I think we should take a second look at Obama’s Cronkite homage and break it down...

***
Obama on Cronkite: “In an industry of icons, Walter set the standard by which all others have been judged.”
Obama on Michael Jackson: “Michael Jackson is…ah…will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers.”

WASET: “Tha fu*k you mean ‘one’ of the greatest entertainers? Nobody has or will top Mike. Do you not get that?”
***
Obama on Cronkite: “He was family.”

Obama on Michael Jackson: “I still have all his stuff on my iPod.”
WASET: “Stuff? You must be out of your damn mind, cause this is Thriller up in
here. Michael Jackson was like my cousin. Yeah, that odd cousin, but cousin nonetheless.Walter Cronkite was the man in the TV! I guess you never closed your eyes and let the rhythm get in to you”
***
Obama on Cronkite: “That’s why we loved Walter, because in a era before blogs
and email, before cell phones and cable, he was the news.”
Obama on Michael Jackson: “I’m glad to see he is being remember primarily for the great joy he brought to a lot of people.”
WASET: “Oh, he brought joy to a lot of people? How about the World you im-be-cile (channeling Cicely Tyson in Hoodlum)? We are the World you simpleton. MJ raised millions upon millions of dollars for Africa. You went to Africa last week and said, ‘Africa's future is up to Africans.’ Thanks for the help cousin.”
Yeah sure, I got grief from people who took it personally when I called out the President over Michael Jackson. But, do you really think I give a….? Don’t stress yourself, cause you already know the answer. As a matter of fact, I went to the grocery store early this morning and bought two walnuts for the next person who wants to get “these nuts!” And Mr. President, if this slips past your handlers and you see this…I’m Dave Chappelle, but with a white glittery glove on - you are the other guy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKT3-FdOLYM
