The Invisible Man and its Impact on the American Lexicon

[jlyons36]

Thanks for the comment. The video is not about President Obama. It is about the changes in the American Lexicon. Having said that, we don't stand in his shoes. We do not have the full depth of what all of the mitigating issues that impact his decisions. The president must make changes that will impact the entire world. Many of us have a hard time deciding what color shoes to wear. I really think we need to give that some thought:)

I like obama, but let's face it: He said things would change, he said he would close down Guantanamo Bay, and then he didn't.

I disagree with the idea that blacks have never liked being called the n-word until recently. We've called each other that for years and years now. Since the 19th century even.

@texasmade17 The fact that w called each other N**ger for however many years doesn't matter. In fact, not only did people not call each other the n word, as I state in the video, you would have a fight on your hands if you called someone black.

@jlyons36 Of course there are always people and always have been people that will get offended by being called a certain term. But let's not pretend that the black community just woke up some day in the past 30 years and decided to start calling each other that. It's been going on for a very long time now.

@mikebass000 Thank you for the comment. I willssay that I do not agree with your view that President Obama has not done the things neccessry to move the country forward. This administration has been faced with , what can only be described as the most obstructionist group of politicians in the countries history. The Obama administration has yet to seat over half of the appointed officials necesssary to run the government. On every turn the Republican party has blocked his admin's efforts to

@jlyons36

Regarding the gulf coast disaster, what more could the administration done. You are talking about private companies operating in international waters.

He was stratled with two, not one, but two wars that were not of his making. He has been dragged through the dirt for that. And when he tries to make moves to get us out of the war he is looked down upon for not supporting the troops.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If yu get a chance I have posted two others.

make substinative changes. President Obama came into office with the countries highest deficit. He came into failed policies that were wet up by the Bush administration. He had to navigate a finacial crisis that was set up by Republican pollicies. He made the hard decisions that kept the WHOLE WORLD out of a full and complete financial meltdown. A economic depression that would have been a thousand times worse that the Great Depression.

[jlyons360]

It's been awhile since I did the video, but if my memory serves me correctly it is Wynton Marsalis.
