Stumble It!
Obama picking up support in Harlem? I watched Harlem’s Charles Rangel on CNN arguing for Hillary 1 day ago. Today I heard Shelby Steele on WNYC argue on how Obama cannot win.
Check the WNYC podcast, it had great callers, young and old tell Shelby Steele he (Andrew Young, Charles Rangel and all the Black old guard) is insignificant and no longer relevant.

Charles Rangel, ruler of the Harlem politicians is “Captain Step-N-Fetch-’It” (if we’re going to be real here).
Jesse, Al Sharpton, Andrew Young, Rangel, none of them are relevant or significant or matter. They’re just jealous men. Jealous of a man named Obama who’s qualified with credentials they could never sniff, he’s a man they never were or could be.
