President's "PROGRESS" Report

Yes they can! The Republicans Haters are at it again. Yes they can (appear so desperate). In their latest attempt to ridicule our President, MSNBC has created an online poll for you to vote or "grade" our new president on his job thus far. Mind you, it has not even been 100 days yet and they are already trying to do him in. This man told you all, before you elected him, that it would get worse before it got better! Everyone keeps forgetting this! No one person can change the state of our economy, especially within 3 months, without the help of all the people (which President Obama has yet to receive)! Either way, I think that he is implementing policies and making decisions that will bring us back on track and prepare us for a better future! I gave him an "A" - Click in your vote HERE so that our voices are still heard!

KK's Backstage Pass: AF-1 Spring Tour

Seems as though Britney Spears and Beyonce aren't the only ones heading off successful tours this spring! Finally back from his first overseas visit (accompanied by First Lady Michelle), President Barack Obama may not have been able to dot all his I's and cross all T's intended, but the mission of turning the U.S. public opinion around was more than achieved. 

During both the NATO, EU and G-20 summits, President Obama was was able to get the last minute consensus of both the French and Chinese presidents over tax havens and financial regulations, while the Obama administration's Afghanistan review quickly became the center of attention. 

In Strasbourg, France, the President held a campaign-style town hall meeting! His main concern here was closing Guantanamo Bay Prison declaring, "America does not torture!"

In Prague, Czech Republic, thousands showed up to hear his big nuclear policy speech, waving and cheering him on all the way.

Certainly, one of the most cheerful times of this visit was when Obama was surrounded by the respect and admiration of Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev (pictured below).

President Obama's last stop was in Turkey, where his message was clear: "America is forging a new path to the Muslim world based on mutual respect and dignity, and that the old paradigm where all America's relationships were shaped by the "war on terror" is over...

All in all, I would say that his trip was a success and has put America back on track to being the dominant power-player that we once were but more importantly, garnering the respect of our nation. 

I beg your PARDON....

Looks like someone is trying to gain some credit in the black community if you ask me. Senator John McCain wants to get a pardon for Jack Johnson who became the nations first heavyweight boxing champion over a hundred years ago. The "Galveston Giant" was convicted of violating the Mann Act by having a consensual relationship with a white women back in 1913 this conviction is seen as being highly racially motivated. What's even more ironic is the man is dead and gone!!! So, is it even really worth it?? OK; sure it will clear his name but it makes me wonder what McCain has to gain by doing this. I smell an ulterior motive brewing!!

During a phone interview with R. Aziz the Senator reported "I've been a very big fight fan, I was a mediocre boxer myself, I had admired Jack Johnson's prowess in the ring. And the more I found out about him, the more I thought a grave injustice was done." I personally feel like if you want to do something that will really matter how about you try to pardon someone that is currently living and has been wronged in this day and age!!! Either way your old grey a*s still will NOT be our president...*singing* "our presidents black..my lambo is blue"!!! I appreciate the efforts but something about this man is just very very sneaky.

The War Next Door :: Protecting Our Young Men

Allow me to preface this post with two points:
1) I have recently been self-diagnosed with Insomnia...
(this means that I suffer from the ability to fall asleep at will and usually am able to stay up for hours on end thru the night and function regularly thru the day with niddle to no sleep) and 2) I TOLD U SO but you didn't want to listen!

A couple of hours ago, I was watching my boy "Coop" [Anderson Cooper, anchor of CNN News Show AC360] report from the Mexican border about the war we are fighting with Mexican Drug Cartels just across the border. This really hit home for me and I wanted to bring this information to our KK readers. This is serious people! While we lie asleep at night in our homes, feeling protected and safe, their are Drug Cartels (criminal organizations developed with the primary purpose of promoting and controlling drug trafficking operations) seeking to recruit our young, misguided men and lavish them with money, cars and clothes (all a n*99a knows) in exchange for trafficking money and drugs in and out of the Mexican borders. These cartels operate like better organized street gangs and offer much more, in my opinion, then Dey Dey and dem on the corner could ever.

Newly appointed Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, text messaged me yesterday before she headed out to Mexico City and Monterrey in efforts to put "walk to talk" of President Obama's declarations yesterday, during his news conference, that we were sending more money and technology to Mexico to aid in the battle against these drug cartels. These cartels are becoming a serious threat to our country (and even bigger one to the theory of Spring Break in Cancun). But all jokes to the left, this is a serious issue and we need to keep our eyes and ears open. That's why the Keyboard Khronicles is committed to keeping you informed!

2nd Presidential News Conference

A KK Correspondent has just exited the D.C. Area on KK1 (Our  company jet) and we are currently getting the latest in updates on the 2nd Presidential Primetime news conference in just 6 weeks!

The main agenda of this conference was to address the economy; what the President and the administration he has selected are doing to carry our country through these troubling times. President Barack Obama gave a brief introductory speech which outlined his four main elements to in progressing our economy and how we can get ourselves out of this mess. These four elements included:

Education - Looking at programs that aren't working and cut them to eliminate wasteful spending

Health care - the rising costs of health care and making sure that everyone is afforded the right to be healthy

Energy - starting to create our own energy resources here in the U.S. and start to shave our dependence on other countries

Science/Technology - Checking on things such as Stem cell research to start to aid in cures for Parkinson's disease as well as Alzheimer's and early juvenile diabetes

Highlights from the News Conference:

On curbing the violence in Mexico and Nat'l Security becoming involved...

Obama (rephrased): We just sent millions of dollars to purchase and maintain surveillance technology and are coordinating with the Mexican gov't and the President to dominate and diminish the huge drug cartels; we are designing plans to ensure the safety of our border communities and as the Mexican gov't is cooperating, we need to stop cash and illegal firearms from making their way to Mexico (things that allow the drug cartels to become stronger)

On families with children that are homeless... (BTW, this question was asked by a correspondent from EBONY magazine)

Obama (rephrased): I'm heartbroken and that's why I am working hard because the first step is to get these parents jobs and prevent layoffs, something we have to do in order to help these children and families.

On how race has, if at all, had any type of presence since Obama took office...

Obama (rephrased): The last 64 days, I have been hammering with how I am going to fix this broken economy; an economy that doesn't care if your black, white, brown or blue

On his moral and ethical feelings on federally funded Stem Cell research...

Obama (rephrased): Sure I have wrestled with the morality and ethical issues that face us when it comes to Stem Cell research, but when we are moving towards solving things such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease or juvenile diabetes, I'm all for it.

On Pres. Obama continually referring back to the deficit he "inherited" but not giving a clear view of what he plans to do about it...

Obama (rephrased): Cant do everything tomorrow. We have to take steps in the right directions, we cant just arrive there. The key is persistence, something I will practice as long as I am in office. We have made significant strides over the past 64 days and as long as we continue on the right path, it will get better. 

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT: On AIG's newly revealed bonuses and why the President didn't address it publicly earlier even though he knew about it days before it came out...

"It took a couple of days because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak!"

GOOD EVENING! (LMBPHA) = "Blk President Having" (See the clip below)!

C'mon for wrapping the reporters up who are trying to get fierce with the Obama camp! Don't pull it or he'll mess around and push it! 

Just a brief synopsis of the News Conference! More analysis to come soon! 

"Wedges" of Mass Destruction

Contrary to popular belief, shoes AREN'T just made for walking! In fact they have become objects of protest...and sometimes, even a defense mechanism. Do you remember Muntadhar Al-Zeidi? The infamous Iraqi journalist who hurled not one but both of his shoes at our beloved 43rd Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush during a press conference held back on Dec. 14, 2008?

Well, Thursday Mr. "Brown Loafers" himself, was sentenced to 3 years in prison for his shoe throwing charades. Convicted of assaulting a foreign leader, Muntadhar shouted "Down with Bush, Long live Iraq" during his sentencing.

The verdict came after a short trial in which MuntadharAl-Zeidi, 30, pleaded not guilty to the charge and claimed his action was a "natural response to the occupation." After his sentence was read, onlookers had to be forcefully removed from the premises when they started to become unruly and also shout "Down with Bush, Long Live Iraq". Muslim supporters lined the streets with signs to protest and demanded his release while some of his family members were removed from the courtroom after collapsing.

Al-Zeidi's lawyer said they would appeal the courts decision because they feel as though his actions were warranted and that his political protest was legitimate. Technically, the "Shoe-Hurdler" could have received up to 15 years in jail, but the judge was lenient in his sentencing due to Al-Zeidi's clean record.

At the end of the day, I can honestly say that I respect his GANGSTA because I know I speak for majority of the Americans who was chuckling-it-up when they seen the "shot-foot" incident take place. I'm glad that someone finally stood up to "W's" dumb-@ss and was too mad that Muntadhar was tackled like a defensive linebacker in the process and not-a-nan shoe connected; but the attempt showed promise, and I gave him an "A" for effort; a pity that it missed! LMAO!

Check out Mr. "7-Eleven" Muntadhar in action in the clip below.....
