			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just to prove that I&#8217;m not <em>completely </em>anti-Obama, I will try to give credit when credit is due.  Yes, of course, praise will usually come when The One&#8217;s actions meet with my views &#8211; I know I&#8217;m fairly biased&#8230;but, I think I&#8217;m biased fairly.</p>
<p>Annnywhooo&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyone Right of far Left wonders what kind of coconuts the President has.  I fully expected that this Somali pirate hostage situation would drag on for a few days with talks and &#8220;open dialogue without preconditions&#8221; only to end in the death of an American.  I feared that the French would have shown us up by <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7996072.stm" target="_blank">taking out the thugs</a> that took four French hostages while this administration tried the hugs and kisses approach.</p>
<p>The Big O gave the green light to take <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/12/navy-seals-kill-pirates-rescue-american-hostage/" target="_blank">necessary force with the Somali pirates</a> holding Capt. Phillips hostage.   Bravo Mr. Prez&#8230;  You reminded the world why an American had not been taken hostage in an act of piracy in 200 years.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; please, Mr. President, I beg you&#8230; <strong><em>do not apologize!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m left in disbelief over this&#8230;</p>
<p>Lovell Mixon fatally shot four Oakland police officers last week.  Mixon, <em>a fugitive parolee</em>, was pulled over for a traffic stop.  He was also implicated in rape cases.  Ultimately, he was killed in a stand off.   This is shocking and sobering.  However&#8230;</p>
<p>Roughly 60 people marched in protest of these events.  The shouted their support, not for the slain officers, but for MIXON!  I&#8217;m not going to claim to understand what life is like in their community.  I&#8217;m not going to claim that all cops are clean and honest.  But, these people need a dose of reality.</p>
<p>The march was sponsored by the <a href="http://www.uhurumovement.org/" target="_blank">Uhuru Movement</a> who <a href="http://uhurunews.com/story?resource_name=uhuru-movement-statement-on-lovelle-mixon" target="_blank">stated</a> that:</p>
<blockquote><p>[Lovelle Mixon] faced a hopeless dead end of joblessness, poverty and criminalization by a society that would rather lock up young African men than <strong><em>make college or jobs available to them</em></strong>.</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_398" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-398" title="mn-oakslay26_vig_0499950170" src="http://www.thesnarkside.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mn-oakslay26_vig_0499950170-300x192.jpg" alt="Brant Ward / The Chronical" width="300" height="192" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Brant Ward / The Chronical</p></div>
<p>Really?  So, because someone didn&#8217;t give him a job or send him to college, he gets to shoot four cops?  And, people are proud of him for doing so?</p>
<p>&#8230;it&#8217;s just wrong&#8230;</p>
