Colin Powell decries ‘nonsense’ attacks on Obama – Source: Yahoo News

WASHINGTON – Retired Gen. Colin Powell, a moderate Republican who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, says the president’s critics should be going after him on policy, not "nonsense." (Read more)

Note: They just don’t get it. But the real problem is they will not support the POTUS simply because he is a black man so it does not matter what he does.

President Obama is doing what the world knows by taking on so many issues because everyone knows the black man has to do double what others do. He is trying to save America but it will be hard trying to clean up while constantly having to fight the good ole boys in-house daily.

But the sad thing is we have Safe Negroes who don’t have a clue about how much it means that the POTUS in the now is the best thing that could have happened. He is trying his best to get along with both parties but again those good ole racist Republicans do not want to support him because that would mean what? Go figure!! But if you don’t know ask somebody. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

 

Truer Words Were Never Spoken by Colin Power

Truer Words Were Never Spoken

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people.

As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where they are.
Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider this:

Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the
solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to
tell you how.

Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with
the wrong person.
Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.

Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl.
But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great
heights.

"A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the
kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you
closely associate – for the good and the bad.

Note: Be not mistaken.

This is applicable to family as well as friends.
Yes…do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will
always be your family no matter what.
Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they
may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria
above.

"In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our Friends."
"Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them."
"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit
in little matters.
Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude."….
