I do apologize for getting the Georiga Congressman's name wrong. Is it Brown or Broun? Other than that I meant everything else I said.

Congressman Brown must didn't learn anything from November 4th. This is why the Republican Party is in such mess. Grumpy old white men who think everything belong to them, that is the Republican Party. If Brown was so concern about President -elect Obama stands, wouldn't it been better to go to President-elect Obama's face and stated his concerns. You dragged the man through the mud, then you say oh yea but I hope we can work together and do what's best for this country. I so wish that people like Congressman Brown could understand what is like to be a black man in this country. There were some things I didn't agree with Rev. Wright, but somethings I did agree with. As a 65 year old black man, from the South, I have seen alot. Listening to my father talk about what he dealt with, what his father dealt with, in this country, not some foreign country. People like Brown need to try walking in our shoes. This mess like Ayers, and Joe the unlicense plumber belong right were it were left Nov.4th, that is down the toilet. When people were making threats against Obama's life, I didn't hear a word from this Brown fellow. So excuse me if I don't cry because someone said something bad about Joe the Plumber. I don't recall anyone being arrested for plotting to kill Joe the plumber, do you Mr. Brown? This is what I would have done, as a man, I would have went to President Obama and made all my concerns know to him, the minute I had the chance to. Man to man. Not putting my B.S. in the paper. But I guess Mr. Brown got what he wanted which was some attention. One thing I do agree with Brown about and that is I am so happy to witness the first African American as president of the U.S.A. Never thought, never thought it would happen.

association with william ayers? wow. Let's see. Let's play '6 degrees of William Ayers'. WIlliam Ayers is a Distinguished professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Should we discount the degrees of those who studied under studied under him? William Ayers was educated at Columbia University and Michigan University. Should we sanction these institutions because they train terrorists? William Ayers served on the Woods Fund of Chicago and Annenberg foundation along with president elect barack obama. The presidents of University of Illinois and Northwestern University along with the general counsel of Ameritech (which is now ATT) also served with these gentlemen. Should we boycott these organizations also because their leadership pals around with terrorists? All this pal'ing around between barack and ayers were strictly professional relationships that nothing to do terrorism. If you showed me a picture of barrack and ayers fishing or playing poker with a karl marx book on the table, then i could believe pal'ing around, but until then, these are strictly professional relationships.

last time i checked, medicare, medicaid, social security, welfarre, VA benefits are unfair redistributions of wealth. most folks who reap the benefits receive way more than they put into the system. These people receive benefits at the expense of hard working productive young people who contribute to a non-existant fund, to support the system. the progressive tax system is also an unfair redistribution of wealth. Why do i have to pay 36% in taxes while the guy next to me pays either 15% or nothing, but yet we receive equal benefit of the tax money in the ability to use the same roads and bridges and receive services provided by the federal govt. $700 B bailouts to the banking system and $85 B bailouts to AIG are also unfair redistributions of wealth . Whatever happened to free markets. and o, please dont let the govt start taking ownership in ford, gm or chrysler, because karl marx would start jumping up and down. why would govt start taking ownership in production and capital systems in the country? i would be more afraid of that sir.

You are what is wrong with politics today. Mainstream politics are what need to be changed. We need a change in Washington. Too many lobyists and business as usual has put us into this recession. You must be a have and not a have not.
