YES
YOU
CAN


Tiger Woods
WHAT ABOUT YOU TIGER



OK OK OK maybe

we weren't on the field

at Broncos Stadium

Thursday night but

we used the POWER

of our minds and a

few Rolling Rocks

To teleport ourselves to  Denver for the last night of the Democratic Convention. There is NO  doubt something Special is going on. Barack Obama is not the Messiah  but then again neither are most so called "messiahs" throughout  history. What Barack Obama is is a unique opportunity for AFRICAN  American athletes to put their BS aside.

You know where we are  going

with this even without  the

photo above guiding you

Right to our favorite  Whipping Post. The one and only INVISIBLE African American here's Tiger. All the apolitical African American athletes who think  the are so COOL try COLD for staying out of the political arena this  time are exposing themselves as JERKS if they sit on the sidelines  during the Obama general election campaign now underway.

And Tiger Woods has  richly earned the title of Poster JERK for the entire group. In fact  Tiger has a Dilemma. Publicity loving Tiger. Trend setting Tiger. Does  Tiger want to be left off the A List when Obama becomes President  because he did NOTHING to assist him to become President. Will Tiger  abandon his I'M NOT BLACK routine to court favor with Obama ??

Gee let's think about  this. Obama has an African American father and a non-African Americans  mother and Obama clearly considers himself AFRICAN American. So what's  your problem Tiger. Enough Tiger bashing he isn't worth that much  attention no matter how rich he is or how well he swings a golf club.  HERE IS THE POINT ..

With or without Tiger Woods leading the way AT A MINIMUM every single professional African  American athlete in Sports basically Basketball, Football and the few  in Baseball should ALL each contribute $1000 or better more to the  Obama Presidential campaign. Want to bet far fewer than 5% have. Then  publicly add their names to Athletes for Obama and make as many public  appearances for Obama as their schedules allow.

IF Tiger Woods abandoned  his BS and became co-chair of Athletes for Obama along with other very  famous African American athletes they could raise and donate a very  large amount of money for the Campaign and maybe even more attract lots  of voters Black and White to support and vote for Barack Obama and sway  this election for Barack O.

Here is the only known  quote TIger Woods is ever known to have made about Obama, "I've  seen him speak. He's extremely articulate, very  thoughtful," Woods said. "I'm just impressed at how well, basically all  politicians really do, how well they think on their feet. Especially  those debates. It's pretty phenomenal to see them get their point  across. But I just think that he's really inspired a bunch of people in  our country and we'll see what happens down the road."

Isn't that wonderful Tiger is "impressed at how well, basically ALL  politicians really do, how well they think on their feet." Tiger  supports ALL politicians because Tiger doesn't want to lose even one  endorsement dollar upsetting anyone by actually supporting Obama or  anyone else."

Maybe just maybe there are

some Black athletes out there

who are not as PATHETIC as

Tigers Woods who will  enthusiastically

support Barack Obama for President

who understand their own interests

are tied to making White America

know how beautiful and how powerful

being Black in America can truly be  with

 Barack Obama in The WHITE House

Barack Obama
" YES WE CAN "
