Prediction: The "Obama Fist Bump Black Press" Will Write More Negative Media Reports About Herman Cain - A Man With No Power - In The Next 6 Months Than They Have About Commander In Chief Obama In 3 Years

I will repeat my wish - I wish that Herman Cain did not join the Presidential campaign in pursuit of the nomination on the Republican ticket.   For one thing - the attacks that he as a "Free Range Black" will receive as a "Black Conservative" - who has the AUDACITY to violate the agreement that was heard aloud that "No Black Person Shall 'Speak Truth To Power' During This Interval Of Time Unless They Are Talking About The US House or various Republican Governors".  Secondly he is running against Commander In Chief Obama.  If "Progressive Political Preacher" Rev Al Sharpton says that "Black people must find a way to advance the Black [Progressive] Agenda while not harming President Obama" - which of these two components of the conjunction do you believe means more to him?

As I appraise the depths to which a squadron of "Embedded Confidence Men" will go to selectively direct the conscious attention of Black people toward a given direction - I am forced to revise my depth meter.

For some strange reason the man in POWER - at a time when the vital statistic of Black America are eroding faster than the property value of our home mortgages is less worthy of the careful attention of the "Obama Fist Bump Press" than a Black man who they admit - has never held an elective office.

• The Grio:  Is Herman Cain Playing Plantation Politics?
• The Grio: Is Obama's Presidency The End Of White Male Privilege?
• The Root:  Obama Election Momentum: Progress For The President (As Long As We Don't Measure Him By The Advancement Of Black Permanent Interests Organically Obtained - He Meets Our Standards)
• The Grio: (Obama's Reelection) Obama Stands On Solid Ground, Tests Still Ahead (But We At The Grio Plan To Slip Him The Answers On A Folded Piece Of Paper)

Today I vow that I have the same POWER to reach into the documentary trail and pull up the promises made by Obama in 2008 and publish them on the web - just as the "Obama Fist Bump Press" will NOT do.   The best way to appraise the transparency of the "Obama Fistbump Black Press" is to appraise how willing they are to SCRUTINIZE this document that once appeared on the Obama Campaign's web site - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY rather than from an Obama Supporter. (Like the Root.com's Cord Jefferson did in his 6 part series on how Obama has CHANGED Black America just as he said he would - just prior to the 2010 elections).

Ironically there are more promises and marketing about "what Obama is going to do for Black people" that are stored in the original articles from the "Obama Fist Bump Press" members than we can find emanating from the Obama official campaign literature.

I have to give credit to Commander In Chief Obama.  Him sending out invitations to Oliver Willis and the "Black Progressive Unity Bloggers" - allowing them to achieve the peak of their journalistic careers by coming to the White House and being in the same room as the main recipient of their graft - was a rather low cost effort to purchase their column space for his benefit.

Commander In Chief Obama understands Black people very well.  No one is surprised that "Progressive Political Preacher" Rev Al Sharpton has said publicly that he does not plan to criticize Obama - thus pulling the batteries out of his 'Speak Truth To Power" bull horn.
