    BITCH,BITCH,BITCH,BITCH......I am a 75 year old 5th generation georgian by birth! I worked in Doug Wilder's Campaign for State Senate when I lived in Virgina in 1966. Cong. Bobby Scott's father delivered my only son in Hampton, Va. in 1964. I lived on New York Ave. off Flatbush Extention from 1958 to 1960 while him future wife was getting here Masters in Businness at NYU Washington Sq. Campus.

    I had to take the Long Island RR train to work as a Flight Simulator Engineer at a Company by the name of Transdyne Corp. I was the first and ONLY BlACK ENGINEER in the company! I later moved to Hampton, Va. and later to Europe for this same Company in October 1963. I marched with Martin in Washington,D.C. before Departing!

    After returning from Europe I attended The US Naval Radar School in Bambridge,MD in 1967 where I was the Only Black, the Only Civian and I finished at the top of the class.

    I met Obama in Atlanta on March 15,2007 at a fundraiser at The Hyatt Hotel! I helped organized three other fundrasiers for him in Atlanta! I volunteered in four other states in the Primary, and General election. I spent eight days in Denver in August as a Volunteer with the DNCC.

    I have closely observed all of President-Elect Obama's appointments and I have had an open mind from the begining and trusted him select the BEST Cabinet the he felt could the job. I have not second guessed him on any of him appointments.

    Very, Very early it was the young whites, males and females that where the large majority of volunteers, OUR people were always munbling questing, if I thought he had a chance? Blacks were late, even after Iowa comming to the Campaign. They read none of his writings or any writings of him by others.

    In my zip code one retired/housewife by the last name of Courteed made 89 contributions from Nov. 2006 thru Nov. 2008. Amounts from $25 up to 100 every month. You can guess her race, and it was like that throughout the campaign. They are the ones that are help to drive his Cabient Appointments in the 70 precentile! Last, but not least I repeat too many Blacks just BITCH,BITCH,and BITCH! Get over it already!
