Last night’s glaring ending to the six-week Pennsylvania primary election was proof enough that Illinois Sen. Barack Hussein Obama never cared about Pennsylvania; intended his inflammatory comments as many around the country interpreted them; and just “wants to get on with the game” of the election.

Here in Philadelphia, as the two early night time local news shows were coming on at 10 p.m., on Fox 29 and well, you might as well call it the “practice run” for NBC 10, since they produce the news and do all the reporting for “the other 10 p.m. news”, it was evident Barack Obama was getting wiped off the ballot in Pennsylvania.

Blacks killing blacks in Philly

March 1, 2007

If you pay attention to CNN, the city of Philadelphia, known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” some in the city are calling it the “City of Brotherly Hate.” The people giving it that name may be the ones who recently attended a rally at the Community College of Philadelphia, though.

One of the speakers, identified as Dorothy Speight Johnson, of Mothers in Charge, said he son was gunned down for parking in someone else’s parking spot. See, here in Philadelphia there is very little assigned parking, so this had to be a turf/gang thing. Johnson, speaking at the gathering, which was filmed by CNN, said her son had been shot seven times for that parking spot.
