Well, well, well... "Rahm was not that beloved as everybody says" Bill Daley

Bill Daley to Politico's Roger Simon: At White House, Rahm Emanuel not that "beloved" - Lynn Sweet

I'm not going to become the leaker in chief." You've got others for that, I say. "Yeah, and hopefully in some organized leaking fashion," Daley says, laughing. "I'm all for leaking when it's organized."

Well now it all makes sense and explains why the many squandered opportunities happened on his watch with the spillover happening in the schallacking the President took on that fateful November election. He perhaps was treating the position like many do in the "corporate" world of lining up position before you leave a position. If you have someone who is supposed to your friend, confidante, and negotiator you would certainly hope they weren't doing things for their own selfish reasons which therefore, makes you semi-ineffective in your leadership role. When it's time to cut your losses and move on for own achievements, sometimes you do what you have to do earlier rather than later but still keep on smiling of getting business accomplished.

Miss. Teen Indicted For Capital Murder, Hate Crime

So the death penalty is once again a topic of conversation! Well, as mentioned not a proponent but in some instances the world is a better place. The core of the evil spirit is one that can have thoughts of killing someone & then act on it but to add on the fact because of skin color that decision was finalized in the brutality of the actual act. This young person was entrenched and indoctined in the hate of man because of color and that is the core of the evil spirit.....yes, the world is a better place in some instances there is the death penalty.

HEY ENTREPRENUERS...401(k)s & Self-Employed....

401(k)s and the Self-Employed - WSJ.com

I was working three blocks east of the Sears Tower on Sept. 11th for Corporation Communications....

2011-09-06T17:25:00.000-07:00

It was a beautiful morning and I had just arrived at work trying to figure out why the office was aflutter. I worked in a Communications dept. for an intl. bank where there were tvs in the conference room and everyone was scurrying about. I immediately walked in the conference room sat down to the tv turned towards it and I saw the people falling out of the window and then the plane came around.....

As the plane rounded the corner and went into the building, I turned to my senior manager whose eyes were wide as saucers with tears in them and a horrified look on his face. In the past this was man who was always the stern manager with a lot of gruff in him. The look on his face and tears in his eyes made me realize what I saw in actual time was real. I begin to cry with heaving sobs but I turned back to the tv with the sight of the people running away from the buildings, the brownish colored smoke, and firefighters along police running towards the buildings many who were already in tower one then all of sudden.... Mind you, the second building had not fallen yet but as we are watching all the mayhem, the other cameras begin to show the 1st tower coming down and with that I put my head on the desk and cried deeply.

By this time our office phones are ringing off the hook because we had an office in the towers and one of our colleagues had traveled there as well for meetings. We all handled the phones along with calling our own family members especially because we were three blocks east of the Sears Tower which was now being mentioned in the broadcasts. The senior managers stayed but the rest of the staff were allowed to go home. The train ride home was surreal because by now there were uniformed police throughout all the stations and the city went on immediate security lockdown both seen and unseen. Luckily, none of our New York colleagues were killed or injured but their memory of our colleague of his experience upon his return will forever be in my mind.

On September 11th every year there after I try not to be in the downtown area for my own personal reasons nor want to work on a floor past 15 while keeping gym shoes in my drawer...just in case of an immediate evacuation of the downtown buildings for whatever reason. Always had a career in the financial district and to know that just the mere mention of the Sears Tower now WillisTower coming down the devastation would have covered several blocks both North/South and East/West. I walk by faith not by sight knowing that nothing is ever promised or guaranteed. However, due to my experience on September 11th and other life experiences, my testimony of faithful obedience is to the core being of who I want to be and how I want to live my life. Prayers to all the families and friends who lost loved ones in the horrible event. We must all remember those that perished on what was otherwise a beautiful day with light fluffy cottonlike clouds and sunny skies. We will heal our nation's pain someday!!

Obama's problem? No one fears him...

Obama's problem? No one fears him - CNN.com

"The President talks tough with banks one day, then has an olive branch for them the next. All while the banks screw Americans out of their homes, even though the American people kept the fat cat bankers from loing their own mutiple-million dollar homes across the nation with billion of dollars in bailouts" ~ CNN.com

The way racism and disrespect has sunk to a new low, they fear something....

Unprofessional "professional" entreprenuer in this economy may want to check themselves....

2011-09-03T17:04:00.000-07:00

Today it was realized that in this economy the unprofessional "professional" may want to check themselves. If the client's appointment is for a specific time designated, it can be understandable for a fifteen possible twenty minute wait after appointment time, half hour maximum. However, as the unprofessional "professional" you acknowledge your client but you say to the client "okay, I'll be right back" and then politely leave the building. Now the client is patiently waiting til the realization that it is now almost an hour since the unprofessional "professional" has left the building. Client then tells the owner the circumstances and owner assigns a new "professional" for client. Client leaves quite pleased with services rendered and left a tip.

The unprofessional "professional" upon return an hour and twenty minutes later, instead of recognizing the faux pas, unprofessional "professional" chooses to say "if I knew you were pressed for time, I would not have left"....mmmm...not realizing scheduled appointed time had already bypassed by almost two hours. That's an audacious statement for someone who missed out on another source of income as well as a tip....therefore, in this economy the unprofessional "professional" may want to check themselves, especially many of the entreprenuers who are calling themselves entrepreneurs.

For Blackmen it's called saggin' pants but for this fella his pants were "baggy"....

Is this nation in Fear Of A Black Planet???

2011-09-02T15:36:00.000-07:00

My friend Casey mentioned this CD to me & I had to go back and listen to it again. What P.E.said then is more so true today. When they made this CD America had issues to deal with but we made things happen in spite of, however, today it is more challenging to not only deal with the issues but to make things happen in spite of. The Fear Of A Black Planet is becoming self fulfilling prophecy.
