Overview

This is a diary about Barack Obama chronicling the events from September 17, 2008 through the passage of health care reform in March 2010. The perspective that I bring is from the lens of an almost seventy year old African American born and raised in the South as segregation breathed its last breath ... so I thought. The primary purpose of these musings was to provide an outlet, a cathartic relief from the daily machinations of an opposition that virulently and relentlessly attacked the first Black President of the United States of America. This was the feeble effort of an almost septuagenarian to 'defend' his President.

Author Information

Born in New Orleans almost seventy years ago, I received a Josephite high school education and a Jesuit college education, and am happily married, as well as the current proud father of seven, and even prouder grandfather of ten (for now). After receiving a Harvard MBA and working in the information technology industry for over forty five years, I became immersed in politics with the election of the first black president of the United States, Barack Obama. The eighteen month journey I present to you here gives a perspective of the beginnings of one of the most successful presidencies in history, a beginning that has been maligned by the opposition and currently professed by the polity as an abject failure. This narrative and history will have the president prevail as he truly should -- a true Olympian.
