My Guy Won, It Was A Slam Dunk, What Were You Expecting?

There are those who say Barack Obama lost the first debate. He won the second debate, but he lost the first one.

I don't buy into that. What Barack Obama did during the first debate was deliberate. He needed to do something to wake up his base, his ardent supporters. Something that did not cost money, but got the core supporters energized regardless. The feeling that he could lose did it. It did the trick.

I went to my first Obama event of this election season.

This is nothing original on the part of Barack. He got it from Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali was known to taunt his opponents by letting them sometimes win a little in the beginning. And then he would go ahead and knock them out.

Barack knocked out Mitt tonight like Mitt was mittens. It was a slam dunk. I saw the Barack I saw and signed up for in 2004.

Is Preet Bharara A House Nigger?

To be fair, I did not dig deep.

But Rajat Gupta was being described as practically a saint. By a ton of people I admire from here to India.

All terrorist plots foiled in America since 9/11 were put together by the FBI. I don't know if I want to call that foiling. You defused the bomb you put in place. How is that foiling?

John Liu was/is a hero. The first Asian American to hold citywide office. A product of public schools. Nice guy.

It is about returning 13,000 dollars back. That is pocket change.

I liked it when Preet Bharara showed up in town. The guy is Indian. But I don't know of any prominent non Indian, non Asian he has gone after. The guy is set to make a career out of going after his own kind.

The law is the law. I get that part. But John Liu saved the city close to a billion dollars. The powers that be used that to come after him. Is the law the law? Or is Bharara simply a tool of the establishment?
