GATES WANT TO PROFIT FROM THIS ARREST

I was listening to the Gayle King show with the interview of Henry Gates. I couldn't believe my ears. He said he wanted HBO or PBS to offer him a deal to do a documentary on racial profiling. I said "o my God, I can't believe this.

Now it seems to me that he had dollar signs in his eyes when this happened. He knew he could capitalize on this situation. That's why he ratcheted it up a bit. He has really lost some creditability. I have been reading a lot of blogs. Some of them were from Harvard.

Now he is making the rounds of the circuit and will get many speaking engagements. It seems that now I classify him along with Jackson and Sharpton. I am really disappointed. I really looked up to him.

OBAMA PLANS CONCERT FOR STEVIE WONDER AT THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON - The White House is planning a concert next week to honor Stevie Wonder, whose music provided part of President Barack Obama’s campaign soundtrack.

The White House says the president and first lady Michelle Obama will present Wonder a Library of Congress award on Wednesday. The concert will be broadcast the next day on PBS as part of its “Performance at the White House” series.

The award-winning and chart-topping Wonder performed at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on the night Obama accepted his party’s nomination. He also performed at a concert during the week of Obama’s inauguration.
