Skip to comments.Owner of campaign bus company: Secret Service hurting my business ("The Obama Effect")
Posted on 08/22/2011 2:50:51 AM PDT by markomalley
President Obama took off on a road trip across the Midwest last week in a brand new government-owned bus to talk with ordinary people about getting the economy going again.
But Johnny Williams, an Alabama businessman who makes a living by leasing these kinds of buses to political figures, said the Obama tour was just a painful reminder of how the government is doing things that could hurt his business.
Thats because this is the first presidential election where the incumbent president and the eventual Republican nominee will have the option of using a Secret Service-owned bus for campaign tours instead of leasing one from someone like Williams. Earlier this year, the Secret Service, citing security concerns, purchased two buses of their own for this purpose.
The government went into competition with me, Williams lamented to The Daily Caller. Something is not right, or fair about this.
Williams, whose company John L. Productions has leased buses to presidential campaigns since 1988, fears he could now lose business over it.
This eliminates the need for my services, he said, thus killing off another small business owner.
In the past, the Secret Service would pay to install extra security features on buses candidates under their protection would lease from people like Williams.
His companys history of driving around presidents and presidential candidates span from George H.W. Bush in 1988 to John McCain in 2008. Other candidates who have used his buses include Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, Bob Dole, Steve Forbes, George W. Bush, Gary Bauer, John Edwards, John Kerry and Sam Brownback.
In an interview, Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said the buses were purchased to offer those under their protection the option of using a more secure bus.
Were not trying to hurt anybodys business, Donovan responded.
Donovan also pointed out that its possible for Obama or the Republican nominee to lease a bus from someone like Williams instead of using one owned by the Secret Service.
The President of the United States doesnt have to get into a vehicle we have, he said. I mean, he could say, I want to drive in a convertible. But we have to make recommendations based on our intelligence, our information and our experience. And thats what we go with.
Williams said hell make the pitch to candidates that theres an advantage to leasing a bus from him, instead of using the governments bus. For one thing, they cant display campaign logos on the all-black Secret Service bus, he pointed out.
Its government property, Donovan said. Its the same as one of our limousines. You never see anything on the side of one of our cars.
The Secret Service purchased their two new buses from the Tennessee-based Hemphill Brothers Coach Company. The Daily Caller was unable to reach the owners at Hemphill Brothers, a competitor to Williams business. A woman who answered the phone at the companys office refused to give her name but said the company isnt commenting on the issue.
Did Williams really think about that remark before he said it??
So this guy makes his living leasing buses every four years? Wow, what a job! I'd like to have that gig. Oh, and the buses that Obama bought with taxpayers money were bought from Canada. They were outfitted in the US.
It kept Obama from having to lease a bus. He got the use of it for free.
He claims it wasn't a Campaign tour.
Probably one of the biggest lies of the year.
This was just another example of wasted money,in a time when we don't have money to waste.
No, the government just blundered around, like elephants at a day-care center, and Mr. Williams just happened to get crushed.
No, the government just blundered around, like elephants at a day-care center, and Mr. Williams just happened to get crushed.
And then it double-posted...
This is yet another example of where an Obama screw-up winds up enshrined as policy because these people are too arrogant to admit that they made a mistake.
That's OK, your post was well worth it.
Because he is DUNG. . . . .
The government went into competition with me, Williams lamented to The Daily Caller. Something is not right, or fair about this.
Quick question for him, did he vote for Obama?
Obama also 'saved or created' a job in Canada with the purchase of those two busses.
Note, no job in AMERICA was stimulated by Obama's actions in this.
One term Dung. . . .
I'm pretty sure that Donovan made that remark not John Williams.
You're right.
He leases his busses to Rock Stars or CW people....not just campaigners.
Sooooooo, the Republican nominee gets that Burgundy bus to ride around in??????
So he won't be going out of business then.
This is one case where there's nothing to complain about.
When the SS rented buses, they would rent the bus, modify it for better security, unmodify it at the end of the campaign, and then turn it back over to the rental company.
Buying the buses saves vast amounts of money over time.
Utter unfounded speculation on your part.
Watergate on wheels
Utter unfounded speculation on your part.
That makes it even worse — a Secret Service agent suggesting that the President ride in a convertible.
In the past, the Secret Service has leased buses, adding protective armor and advanced communications capabilities that must be stripped from the buses to restore them to their original condition before they are returned. It was an expensive practice, costing tens of thousands of dollars per month, Donovan said, and the Secret Service expects the new buses will ultimately save money over time.
Well, heck yeah. Never mind that the SS offer of this black mortuary can precludes the application of graphics identifying the challenger and making it indistinguishable from Obama's Debt Star. Screw that First Amendment thingie, it's so eighteenth century.
And here's the other thing to keep in mind. Incumbent presidents of both parties have secretly taped conversations with the tacit approval of the Ss. Can you doubt that given the Patriot Act and the current Homeland Security lap dog won't be tempted to bug the opposition bus?
Only the government can figure it makes sense to spend over a million dollars to avoid spending tens of thousands of dollars for a few months every four years.
It warms my heart to see some leech on the government tit fall off. They really squeal really, really loud when it happens.
Then, they are forced to join the COMPETITIVE PRIVATE economy to survive.
Only a Republican who wants to throw the general election would do that. These loser cruisers are now toxic. They are an example of "stimulus spending" gone awry. No Republican challenger who wants to win the election will be in the same state as one of these buses at any point in time.

By allowing these things to be so purely political and rolling them out so soon, the Secret Service messed up. These things should have been unveiled at the conventions in 2012. They should have been American made, as much as possible with as much domestic content as we can get. They should have been more frugal with taxpayer money, and the actual savings and payback time should be published, and it should make financial sense. Claims that "this will save money in the long run" are so vague as to be meaningless. Over how long a period? The story is that the Secret Service spent "tens of thousands of dollars" modifying leased buses for security. It takes a lot of years, spending tens of thousands of dollars every four years, to burn through $1.1 million. I'm skeptical that this move made any kind of financial sense.
I'd also like to see the request for bids and specifications for the original open bid contract for acquiring these "debt stars." If this wasn't a competitive bid situation, and if the guy complaining in this article was somehow unable to bid on this business, even though he had previously leased his motor coaches to candidates, then something is wrong. This could have been a $2 million payoff to a supporter. If we had any investigative reporters left in the Propaganda Ministry (formerly "the press" or "the media"), some of them would be investigating this. Since they are all Obama cheerleaders, it will not be looked at, except maybe by right wing bloggers.
You're jumping to some conclusions here. Even the article has statements that say you are overstating things.

An American company (in Tennessee) did the customization and modifications for the Secret Service. These buses weren't put into service exactly as they rolled off the assembly line in Quebec.
I wonder whether any American companies bid on this deal with American made motor coaches. We do have some domestic producers who compete with Prevost.
That remains to be seen. Unless someone in the Propaganda Ministry (formerly"the press") starts asking real questions, we won't know.

I seriously doubt that the payoff period on these motor coaches, compared to lease/modify/unmodify/return costs, is anything short of decades. It takes a long time, spending $10K to $50K for modifications and restoration, to burn through $1.1 million, which was the cost of each of these loser cruisers.
I've been thinking that exact same thing.
We would probably be surprised by the number of companies that survive off the government.
That's right! It is Sarah Palin's FAULT!
I am not surprised at all.
For example...think of how many CPA's, bookkeepers, Tax Attorneys, software companies, and a whole host of other businesses that would not be in business if it not for the need of their services to comply, report and defend against the pen of government.
As the government creates a single regulation, tens of thousands of new "jobs" are created. The shame is that none of "the new jobs" were needed BEFORE the regulation was penned.
Good point!
"the Secret Service expects the new buses will ultimately save money over time."IOW, they are much more expensive than lease and mod.
20 years or longer. Which is ridiculous. Because buses in 10 years will be much improved over current, and buses in 20 years vastly improved. But in order to get the pay off from the Obama Mortuary Wagons we'd have to be running these damned buses with 2011 technology in 2031 and maybe even until 2041!

Leasing makes sense.
Don't tell Obama he could buy an airplane to fly his bus around in...
The SuperGuppy would fit the bus. Or Michelle.
Not both.
So if the government buys a couple of buses rather than lease them from this guy, that's "unfair?"
Sorry, I just don't buy it.
>So this guy makes his living leasing buses every four years? Wow, what a job!<
Plus, you have to be incredibly bi-partisan in your dealings with both parties because it's a business. Good for him. I'm pretty much out because I cannot stand libs nor Dumocraps.
The SS supplied the buses for both President and challenger in the past, and modified them extensively. This is no different. They could bug either one.
It's the SS's obligation to protect the challenger. They aren't going to let that challenger rent their own Greyhound.
First, I don't know anything about what it would cost for the modifications.
Domalais wrote:
I think you're drastically underestimating the level of security afforded the President if you think the modifications cost $10K to $50K.
Second, in several news articles about this, different Secret Service personnel have been quoted with the "tens of thousands of dollars" figure for the cost of modifying leased buses.
From a USNews.com storyThere have been other statements like this, and in some other articles, a guy named Donovan from the Secret Service was qouted about the costs and the savings. The figure stated for costs of the "old way" of leasing a motor coach and modifying it for security has consistently been described as "tens of thousands of dollars" in every article.
The decision was made to purchase them rather than continue to retrofit leased buses for the temporary use of the president and other high-level protectees. That costs tens of thousands of dollars, and then the special features have to be removed when the bus is returned to the leasing company. Federal numbers crunchers figured it would be cheaper over the long run to buy the vehicles.
It takes a lot of "tens of thousands of dollars" spent every 4 years to make the $1.1 million cost of one of these motor coaches. I haven't seen any analysis of the actual costs anywhere.
Again, this could be legit. It might actually have saved the taxpayers money to buy these two monstrosities and outfit them. But the numbers given in the press reports don't add up to that. And there is nobody questioning this.
I still maintain that no self respecting Republican candidate will be seen in either of these loser cruisers. These toys belong to Emporer Obama, and won't be used by anyone else. Hopefully we can elect a leader who will sell them off soon, before they depreciate to no value at all.

I think an anime-themed Sim City-type or Civilization-type development game, which heavily exploits common genre tropes and has hidden characters from a number of different series, would be a vastly amusing concept. Of course, you'd have to have both mecha and non-mecha versions.
A mecha-themed or super-powered-teen-themed redefinition of the classic monster arcade game Rampage might also be amusing.

Maybe from Japanese tourists, but that's about it.
No it's not, since the J-rockers don't have any presence here, so they take a pay-cut and use the whole thing as a chance to sell an international album. Ami and Yumi are as big as they're gonna get right now. Otherwise, there's no chance in hell any con could afford these bands if they were as big in the States as they are in Japan.
Companies can't even license the rights to their music for certain shows; so why would it be any easier for a concert venue? Hell, considering how many people complain about the prices of American CDs, how many people do you really see paying the double the cost for the overseas stuff?
But those cons don't make a profit; if they did, they would actually do a better job of dealing with over-crowding, instead of cutting corners at the expense of the attendees. These concerts are just an excuse to pay off "rising operation costs" most of the time.

The new banners are super cool!! I love how the ANN circle-logo-thing is integrated into it, and the more cartoony-style for the Answerfans is perfect. Awesome work, Phillip!
Nice column, too. I especially liked the first answer, about creative output. Of course there are artists and writers who team up to make something (manga, webcomics, illustrated books, movies, etc...), but it's important to explore your own ideas and abilities too. And keep working on it! Create because you love it, not because you want to be rich and famous (starving artists and all that, right?)

|I agree with Brian on the cons. During AX 2007 at Long Beach a group that was in the next door motel room where I was staying had parties going on, and the guys I was staying with also made friends with a stoner while they were there. Then one of my roommates drank too much and got kicked out of the hotel where the arcade was at. AND they called the police on him so we had to get him out of there as soon as possible so that he wouldn't get arrested.

|I feel exactly the same way as the first response to the question. I'll always be a "closet" anime nerd, because smelling bad, dressing like my clothes have been lying on the floor, and wearing worn out kitty ears to college doesn't appeal to me. I don't get it.

I think Brian is right that Ranma probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. It's also true that because the demographic watching anime was wrong from the advertisers view, Adult Swim basically said, "Thanks for watching, but we don't value you that much." Which is extremely irksome when I'm in they're beloved 18-34 male demographic. On another note, I don't really mind going to a small con that only gets American guests and typically the same ones. Sure I'd like a bit of variety or the occasional big name, but it's nice seeing the same people too, especially if one of them happens to be Carrie Savage.
As far as games go, while I think the concept of a Hellsing game has potential, there is also the notion that Alucard would pretty much take the challenge out of most situations. "Oh no, I'm taking a lot of damage. Oh wait, it doesn't matter because I'm Alucard."

Yay Brian, on the first response. What you said is basically the summary of every "how to become a writer" book I've ever read. Forget about creating something so awesome that Noah Webster comes back from the dead to personally change the definition of "awesome" to your name. Just write and enjoy doing it.

I may be misconstruing, but what they don't have use for is the 12-17 demo, not yours. Besides, Ranma 1/2 is not their type of show anyways, despite many viewers' calls for it early in AS' life. It's not enough of a hardcore action they want, nor the teenage-crush situational --and as Viz (in)famously put it-- sex comedy as the type their AS comedy viewers like.
And it is a slow starter (as notoriously were long series of its era, for various reasons), even almost got cancelled after the first season. And this coming from someone, as mentioned here before, whose Ranma 1/2 videos hooked an anime-oblivious dormhall (yeah, the same demographics AS covets, but they walked in during mid-season and tracked back only much later). So it wouldn't have worked out.

Hmm, I don't really have any ideas for video games. The only stuff that comes to mind is based solely around a game play not even related to whatever anime I used.
So? Aren't ya going to give us the link? Or are you going to let this opportunity to shamelessly self promote pass you by?

Why is this? Even in Japan, publishers do not ...

I've been using this nozzle almost daily for several months now and I really like it. It hasn't leaked at all and the spray patterns it offers include all of the basic sprays one needs. Mine hangs out of a hose cart with quite a bit of direct sun exposure, but no problems as a result. HFT runs specials on these every so often, so I'll be picking up a couple more for sure. I've used the Orbit and other "high end" nozzles, and this performs the same in my opinion. Absolutely no reason to pay two to three times the price.

We used this, as most others do, to water things. It worked really well, for a short time, until the fork that pulls the plunger back to start the flow of water(top of the handle) broke. This piece takes all of the stress & is way under designed. No matter how good the rest of it may be, it's useless when this piece breaks - don't waste your money.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This is second one, so I obviously like it. It is much heavier-duty than the usual cheap plastic sprayers. However, the first one did eventually break, so I had to buy a replacement, so it's not indestructible.

|Accepted Version
View at publisher
|Published Version
We present experimental 2D IR spectra of isotope diluted ice Ih (i.e., the OH stretch mode of HOD in D2O and the OD stretch mode of HOD in H2O) at T = 80 K. The main spectral features are the extremely broad 1-2 excited state transition, much broader than the corresponding 0-1 groundstate transition, as well as the presence of quantum beats. We do not observe any inhomogeneous broadening that might be expected due to proton disorder in ice Ih. Complementary, we perform simulations in the framework of the Lippincott-Schroeder model, which qualitatively reproduce the experimental observations. We conclude that the origin of the observed line shape features is the coupling of the OH-vibrational coordinate with crystal phonons and explain the beatings as a coherent oscillation of the O⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bond degree of freedom.

Officially called Jebel Maleihah, this large outcrop is more widely known as Fossil Rock, after abundance of marine fossils that can be found on its slopes. This area is rich with the fossils of shells and small sea creatures that were on the ocean floor millions of years ago when water covered much of Arabia. These were created when limestone formed around their shells to make a mould, which then solidified to leave a perfect imprint.
The ever-shifting sands found inland from all the major coastal settlements create an endless variety of landscapes, colours and vegetation.

Carl Matthes: Imagine, the finest and best that God could call from His earthly flock to serve in His Holy Church did nothing wrong because when they were molesting young children, they were just "responding to social turmoil."
Arnold Ignores Kennedy Legacy in Vetoing Farmworker Overtime
Randy Shaw: While it's no longer news that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is a fraud (which helps explains poll numbers that are lower than George W. Bush and the pre-recall Gray Davis), his veto this week of an overtime bill for California farmworkers is particularly disgraceful.
California's Class Warfare Heats Up
Joseph Palermo: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently submitted a "budget" to the legislature that eliminates CalWORKS, the state's highly successful welfare-to-work program that is needed now more than ever. This move would make California the only state in the nation to dismantle its safety net.
Nurses Have Whitman on the Run
Randy Shaw: Two weeks into her general election campaign, Meg Whitman has already proved that she has not followed politics in recent years. How else to explain her already picking a fight with CNA and Rose Ann DeMoro that the candidate cannot win, and that makes her look worse with each passing day?
AB2727 – The Bradford/Bass Re-Entry Employment Opportunity Act: Addressing The Lifelong Challenges of Ex-Offenders (Not A Minute Too Soon)
Anthony Asadullah Samad: If California is serious at reducing its prison costs, ex-offenders will have to be re-trained and employers will have to be more tolerant of people trying to get their lives back on track. Is that even possible? One thing about American culture, as it relates to any offender, is that despite we profess to being a forgiving society, or want to redeem the best in those who have made mistakes, the truth of the matter is that it always lets the ex-offender know that they are just that, "ex-offenders."
Lame Duck Terminator
Joseph Palermo: Schwarzenegger's hackneyed "State of the State" address was pathetic and unconvincing. If it weren't for his acting chops and his ability to emote on cue, he couldn't get away with the simplistic platitudes that roll off his tongue. Then again, if he couldn't act he wouldn't be governor either.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in Iraq
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger praised U.S. soldiers for helping Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki build and nurture Iraq's public institutions, which are central to the American war effort. But at the same time Schwarzenegger is systematically (even gleefully) dismantling similar public institutions in California.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Knife Play
Now we have a Republican governor in California who sees the state's current budget catastrophe as nothing but a big joke. Why else would Arnold Schwarzenegger post a tasteless Twitter video where he wields a two-foot-long folding knife boasting about his budget-cutting prowess?
The Republicans Win Big in California!
When Arnold Schwarzenegger calls an agreement "a really great, great accomplishment" you know average Californians are in for a fleecing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Compassionless Conservatism
Schwarzenegger doesn't get the human costs of his actions. He seems to enjoy the attention he's getting as well as playing on right-wing "populist" anger. He's satisfying his Tea Bagger constituency by beating up on Californians who happen to be poor or work in the public sector.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Tea Bagging California
Just as many of the neo-cons seemingly cross their fingers hoping for a mass-casualty terrorist attack on U.S. soil because they see it as political gold for them, they're also cheerleading for the economy to remain stagnant
Schwarzenegger's Budget Battle II: Another Bad Sequel
Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared that the test of our nation was "not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger might be married to a Kennedy but his governing philosophy is pure George W. Bush […]
California Democrats: "Spreading the Pain" from Sacramento
When his term mercifully expires next year, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be leaving the Golden State in the worst condition than at any time its history. If Schwarzenegger and his right-wing Republican co-conspirators get their way (as they always seem to do), they'll gut every social program and educational institution in the state in […]

Real-time rendering can benefit from global illumination methods to make the 3D environments look more convincing and lifelike. On the other hand, the conventional global illumination algorithms for the estimation of the diffuse surface interreflection make heavy usage of intra- and interobject visibility calculations, so they are time-consuming, and using them in real-time graphics applications can be prohibitive for complex scenes. Modern illumination approximations, such as ambient occlusion variants, use precalculated or frame-dependent data to reduce the problem to a local shading one. This paper presents a fast real-time method for visibility sampling using volumetric data in order to produce accurate inter- and intraobject ambient occlusion. The proposed volume sampling technique disassociates surface representation data from the visibility calculations, and therefore, makes the method suitable for both primitive-order or screen-order rendering, such as deferred rendering. The sampling mechanism can be used in any application that performs visibility queries or ray marching.

text: Ivy - Demo by DocJango published on 2013-11-17T09:05:14Z A dark song in 6/8 about a family member who loved his wife Ivy so much that he shot her and then turned the gun on himself. Ivy however lived. She had left Roy and said she would not return until he found gainful employment. He chased her through the house and then out into the street. Roy shot Ivy three times the last in the face, he then said goodbye and turned the gun on himself. This written from Roys manic perspective. Possibly a lesson on giving ultimatums.. Also noteworthy for the first time Ive ever played a mandolin. For the record... they are little fockers =) Another demo for the album.

REGION: Roberts to rely on friends, optimism in supervisor race
Dave Roberts' campaign for San Diego County supervisor stretches back only a few weeks.
But his time advocating for families, sound budgets, parks, education and transportation across the region spans two decades, Roberts said.
Roberts, 51, a Solana Beach councilman, is banking on that experience and the power of positivity to push him past early bird campaigner Steve Danon .
The two, along with Del Mar Councilman Carl Hilliard, are competing to replace Pam Slater-Price, who is retiring as the District 3 supervisor after nearly 20 years.
The county's primary election is June 5.
Roberts' priorities, like those of his competitors, include job creation, public safety and improving the county's quality of life.
District 3 stretches from Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas to Rancho Bernardo and Escondido, combining a politically diverse mix of voters.
The Board of Supervisors decides on health and safety matters for all county residents and sets land-use rules for the backcountry. The make-up of the all-white, all-Republican board hasn't changed since the mid 1990s.
In an interview at Solana Beach's Java Depot cafe earlier this month, Roberts dismissed the idea that he's entering the race too late ---- as Danon and some of his backers contend.
Danon, a Republican, is a longtime political aide who formerly owned a public relations firm but has never held elected office. He's been stumping for the county seat since July 2009.
Hilliard, also a Republican and former business owner, entered the race this month.
"People have said over and over they want a choice (in the race)," said Roberts, a Democrat. "I've had real countywide leadership experience. ... I think when people look at this race they will see it is a very winnable race, and that I can be the next supervisor for the third district."
Public and private industry
Roberts said his combination of public and private sector work will serve him well on the county board, which has maintained a top credit rating and healthy reserves over the past decade.
With a graduate degree in financial management, Roberts said he has helped Solana Beach reach a balanced budget each year since his election in 2004.
Prior to serving in office, Roberts was a vice president at Science Applications International Corp., a health, technology and security firm, according to his biography.
"I think I bring the expertise the voters are looking for," Roberts added.
His critics doubt whether Roberts has the time or name recognition to get his message out.
Some have also questioned whether Roberts will follow through with his run for supervisor, noting he backed away from a race for Congress in 2009.
Roberts said his decision to withdraw was due to a unique family matter: He and his partner, Wally Oliver, learned during the campaign that the half brother and half sister of his youngest son were available for adoption.
They decided to end the campaign and adopt the children, Roberts explained.
"My family comes first," he added.
Perhaps the greatest challenge for any candidate in the race is canvassing the wide expanse of District 3.
John Dadian, a San Diego political consultant, said a successful District 3 campaign requires "retail politics," or meeting with all constituent groups.
Dadian is not working for any of the three supervisorial candidates.
Despite the entry of Roberts and Hilliard into the race, he said Danon remains the clear favorite because of his early work lining up support.
Danon, during an interview in Escondido earlier this month, said he welcomed his opponents into the race but was skeptical about their chances.
"(Roberts and Hilliard) are going to find out it's a big district and four months isn't a long time. This isn't Solana Beach or Del Mar," Danon said.
Roberts, in response, said he will rely on his optimism and friends across the county to buoy his campaign.
Roberts lines up endorsements
Former Vista Councilman Bob Campbell served with Roberts on the North County Transit District board, and works with him at a separate nonprofit transportation agency.
Campbell said Roberts' diligence and ability to "disagree without being disagreeable" on the transit board convinced him to endorse Roberts for supervisor.
"I've never seen Dave get down, even under adversity. ... He accepts challenges personally and professionally in a cheerful, optimistic manner. He looks for solutions rather than fights," Campbell said.
Roberts, who is rarely seen without a smile, calls himself a "very positive person."
State Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, and Carlsbad Councilwoman Ann Kulchin, a Republican, have also endorsed Roberts, according to Roberts' campaign.
Danon has picked up a long list of endorsements from Republican political and law enforcement groups.
Slater-Price, the retiring incumbent, could be another helpful friend for Roberts.
She is holding off on any endorsement until after the race's filing period closes in March, her chief-of-staff, John Weil, has said.
Danon probably won't receive her support: He railed against the incumbent for months before she announced she's retiring, calling her arrogant and disconnected from the public.
Still, Roberts, who has worked closely with Slater-Price on projects across the region, said the incumbent's endorsement would be "extremely valuable."
Asked whether he's asked her for the nod, he said: "I keep working night and day to get everybody to endorse me."

An irreverent, yet powerful exploration of race relations by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Chris Farley Show
Frank, funny, and incisive, Some of My Best Friends Are Black offers a profoundly honest portrait of race in America. In a book that is part reportage, part history, part social commentary, Tanner Colby explores why the civil rights movement ultimately produced such little true integration in schools, neighborhoods, offices, and churches—the very places where social change needed to unfold. Weaving together the personal, intimate stories of everyday people—black and white—Colby reveals the strange, sordid history of what was supposed to be the end of Jim Crow, but turned out to be more of the same with no name. He shows us how far we have come in our journey to leave mistrust and anger behind—and how far all of us have left to go.

Trendy topic but disappointing coverage. This book could have been good....
Catchy title but not much else! One star.
Not very good.
Not good.
Mostly boring.
As a KC Realtor and as a JoCo kid who grew up in the 1970's (SM West Class of '83) I found the book enlightening to a history I didn't even know existed in our local market. Disturbing to say the least. But also obvious that author grew up in a culture at least 15 years behind mine. I never really knew discrimination until I left KC and went to DC for 15 years. There I got a crash course in an "integrated" neighbothood. As a white guy I saw it from both blacks and whites and was sad for everyone involved. Book is a great read. Author says he puts aside politics but never misses a chance to bust on a Republican administration all the while forgetting it was the Dems calling for easier access to mortgages in the late 90's and early 2000s. But this conservative finds this a must read for everyone.
When I purchased this book it was not quite what I expected by the title but extremely interesting. Having grown up during the time in history in the 50's and 60's when changes were starting to take place, my information about many of the changes was from the perspective of my parents in a white north. They talked about the issues, such as block busting, in a negative way blaming the black community for the things that happened, rather than white greed and exploitation. The author, provided alot of insite into what was and is really behind these issues. In each of the areas he noted the pros and cons of integration that I was not aware of, and the struggles, on both sides of the issue, to resolve some of the problems that lingered throughout the years.
