So, you're the Republican Party of January 20, 2009. You have just witnessed, by popular vote, a black American man commit the impossible -- become the 44th President of The United States of America.
You cannot believe what you have just witnessed.
You thought, just like the 12% of Black Americans in your country, that white America would simply rise up and nullify the votes of "the others" who were driving this unprecedented cosmic anomaly. You believed that it simply was not possible that a black man could gain the support of the nation... to gain enough of the Caucasian trust to carry him over the political land mines that should have taken his legs right out from underneath him. You thought that a Negro could never become the President of The United States of America.
But it happened... right there before your disbelieving eyes. Barack Hussein Obama simply, gently, walked right over his opposition and took the CEO position of the USA company with very little collateral damage to the politicians racing against him. When all was said and done of the campaign... most of the American people felt very good about their choice and believed good things were coming to the America they love.
Could this new impossible President usher in a new Eden America in which Americans would brighten up, smarten up, become more compassionate toward their fellow mankind here in this beautiful land... and around the world... to bring our war mongering recent past to an end? The collective we sure hoped so.
But... wait one damn minute, America. There was a secret suicide capsule of hate and death-to-a-career placed inside the side molar of the mouth of this Obama presidency beast. That poison is not named Ricin... it is named The Republican Party! More to the point... that horror capsule was filled with the poisonous white men of the Republican Party!
America has spent the past 236 years vacillating between pure evil hatred of, and its need to benignly control, the African-American population that was introduced to the USA right alongside with the white man when the first settlers stepped off their boats ramps. America hates black people, and loves black people, at the same time. Nowhere in America is this relation more twisted than the deep south and the mid-west of the United States of America. And, unfortunately for black Americans... a sizable chunk of white men, and women, in politics seem to breed in these places and they bring their bigoted, racist hatred to their jobs where they are not afraid to place it on full display.
And now, there is a black man holding down the Presidency?
Of their America?
When it should have been impossible for a Negro to EVER become President of the USA?
In the year of their lord, 2009?
Hell no... that was not going to happen without a fight to the death in protest of a Negro being their ultimate leader.
No goddamn way!
And so... Salvo One was launched again this new President's term in office. That Salvo One actually had been a carpet bombing campaign from earlier on in the Presidential campaign. That Salvo One was called attack the most mundane, harmless aspect of the opponent's life and make it seem like something gooey, sleazy, oily and unethical. That Salvo One was -- attack Obama as being, American God and Jesus Christ forbid, an icky "Community Organizer." As in, ugh... what a vomit inducing job to have. Community Organizing? Blah... what in that?
Never in the annals of The United States of American humankind has any one person openly and viciously attacked another person for being a Community Organizer like this... that is until the attack machine of the Republican sleaze makers decided to go on the attack against the new black presidential candidate. They broke the term Community Organizer into many pieces. They made the vocation into something low and undesirable. They put doubt into the minds of the sections of Americans who were lying in wait for something negative to hang around Barack Obama's neck. And to this day, certain people in the Republican party continue to throw out that term with bile dripping off of it.
And yes... it is all so stupid and silly.
And yes... it is all designed to twist the minds of the unwashed.
And yes... it worked well enough to place doubt into enough minds to create a divide among the populace that lasts until this very day.
That dirty bit of Republican derision was calculated by the enemies of the Democrats and it was implemented with surgical precision when they needed to throw a tiny wrench into the huge gears of the election process. As crazy as it seems... the term Community Organizer has not necessarily made a comeback from the oiling it took from the Republicans.
That was a first metaphysical bullet slug into the soul of Barack Obama... and the psyche of the American collective hive brain. It is a crying shame but this slug was the first shot into the chest of this man... designed to kill Barack Obama's presidential soul!
And it DID work to a huge degree!
