Kilpatrick should stop killing Detroit and resign immediately

 

Kwame Kilpatrick the scandal plagued and proned  Mayor of Detroit should resign immediately.

He has not only disrespected himself and his family by his actions but he has shown no respect for the office of Mayor or for the people of Detroit ( by using city money to cover up his affair and then crying racism when the press starts to investigate) and so he does not deserve or should he serve another day in that office.

Why he was elected boggles my mind..but that’s a blog for another day.

As a former resident of Detroit, I always speak with a heavy heart when talking about Detroit. I love the city of Detroit. From it’s historic downtown buildings,  KING’s BOOKSTORE, Greektown, to the surrounding liberal enclaves of Royal Oak and Ferndale. Detroit grabbed me at first sight and it’s a pity I had to let go, but it’s high crime, high (catastrophic, in my opinion) unemployment and lack of true vision by it’s leaders caused me to relocate within the past year.

I could not grow in Detroit and unfortunately it seems the Motor City is doomed to fail because of leaders like Kwame Kilpatrick and Coleman Young . And while its residents long for and dream of the golden days of yore their leaders rape and pillage the city’s coffers and use the city’s name and extensive good will towards it to advance their own political and professional careers

Kwame Kilpatrick is a failure.

Detroiters and Michiganders are not.

They deserve better but first they must expect more and ask more of themselves and from those who lead them.

N.B I know I haven’t blogged in a while, please humble reader accept my sincere apology, however once again life got the better of me (well not really but it certainly caused me not to blog..lol) but I’m back and hopefully better..join me once again on my journey.


Required reading for President Elect Obama….

Just got this book yesterday at the airport in Phoenix, usually I bring my own reading material since the book and magazine selections at most airports tend to be hmm.., what shall I say…..limited (that’s the most decent word I could think of..lol) but I took a chance and the book store there was pretty decent. I haven’t been able to put down Madam Albright’s book. Has anybody else read it? What do you think?

I’ve always liked her and yes I forgive her for supporting Hillary..lol but in regards to her writing all I can say is..it’s wicked!!

Simple and to the point and yet it gives me a big enough glimpse into her true personality..just like a good book should.. I haven’t enjoyed a book like this since hmm..Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris!!

I hope Obama has read it too..

What books would you recommend Obama read before he becomes President?
