On President Obama: The Black Swan
“Black swan” is used a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. I cannot think of anything that better describes President Obama. His win in 2008 was a surprise in every possible way.  His win against Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primaries was completely unexpected.  His win against John McCain, even more so.  No one at the beginning of 2008 would have imagined a young black man with the name Barack Hussein Obama would be elected, twice, as the president of the United States.  As surprising as his elections were, the effect he has had on the country has been even more significant. Depending on what side of the political spectrum you belong, the effects of his presidency is either extremely positive or negative. What isn't up for debate is whether or not the effects are significant.  He is also one of the most misrepresented, misunderstood, misaligned political figure in my lifetime, and an argument can be made in the past hundred years.  As a black swan, President Obama went against the entire American history of presidencies.  In every way, he stood out in contrast to his predecessor and opposition. From the first time I heard him speak at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 to his last days as President, he has reaffirmed my belief that America didn't deserve him or Michelle, but I'm damn glad they were here for us.
In early 2008, I was a Hillary Clinton supporter.  I thought she had the necessary experience and qualifications to be a very good president. As the Democratic primaries played out, I saw something in Barack Obama that made me think he was what we needed at this time in our country's history.  Not because he is a black man, I saw this was a secondary perk, but as someone who has a great grasp of history, ideals, and the importance of pragmatism.  As a devout pragmatist, I rarely see politicians who fully grasp how moving the country forward as much as possible is more important than ideological purity.  Like Justice Stewart's view of pornography, when it comes to pragmatism, “I know it when I see it.”  The more I watched candidate Obama, the more I knew he understood progress in ways very few politicians have or do.  After eight years of one of the worst administrations since Hoover, what America needed was someone who knew how to move us forward ethically, legally, politically in a rapidly changing world. As much as I liked and respected Hillary, I felt Barack was the one who could move us forward at that moment in our history.
On election night, when he came out on stage in Chicago's Grant Park to give his victory speech, I have never felt more proud of my country. As I wept, listening to him speak, I couldn't imagine how African-Americans must be feeling.  As much as his election meant to me personally, I could not imagine the significance it had on Black America.  I grew up seeing the violent police actions against peaceful Civil Rights protesters.  Even though the Civil Rights Act became law, I have been well aware of how ingrained and widespread racism is in American society.  I never, ever thought I would see a black person elected as president.  Yet, here was the black swan president-elect in front of a quarter of a million people in Grant Park and millions more watching on t.v. and online laying out a shining beam of hope and a path towards progress.  Telling everyone that we are all in this together and it is up to us to demand and work for change.  It was everything I've believed in and worked for my entire adult life.  At that moment in time, I felt America had finally turned the corner towards the equality, justice, and fairness promised in the country's founding documents.   Within months, this feeling of hope was replaced with feelings of frustration. Frustration not at President Obama, but at the cabal of conservatives who met on the night of his inauguration to discuss their strategy of stopping and obstructing everything the new president proposed.  A group that included: Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). Along with former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, and Republican consultant, Frank Luntz.  Their meeting has been well-documented and their purpose was to make sure that Republicans not support anything and obstruct everything put forth by the new administration.  Keep in mind that this strategy was laid out at a time when the country and the world was going through a serious economic downturn.  Their efforts were focused on making sure the new administration failed.  Even though he wasn't there, then Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made it publicly known his main goal was to make Obama a one-term president.  The GOP was on board, lock-step, to make sure President Obama, and by proxy, America fails. Not long after learning of conservatives' plans to obstruct President Obama,  my frustration turned to the far left who turned on the new president because they didn't get what they thought was their due.  They wanted single-payer health insurance, banks taken over, and bankers thrown in jail.  Single-payer was never going to happen with a coalition of only sixty Democrats and Independents in the Senate.  All it took was one to be against it and the whole deal fell apart.  With Blue-Dog Dems like Jim Webb, VA, Landrieu, LA, and Ben Nelson, NE, and Independents like Joe Lieberman, there weren't the votes to get single-payer even put up for discussion, let alone voted on or passed.  For reasons that can only be explained as a complete lack of basic civics knowledge, the far left blamed President Obama for these Senators never going to vote for single-payer.  It doesn't matter that President Obama accomplished something every Democratic president since FDR had tried to do but failed, comprehensive health care reform, they were upset.  Never mind the number of uninsured would drop to the lowest in history, they didn't care.  They had their mind set on a unicorn and when they didn't get it, they blamed President Obama for not personally delivering it to their doorstep.   The far-left had the same unrealistic attitude about the bankers.  Never mind that most of the damage done from the mortgage crisis came from products and actions that were perfectly legal, the far left wanted heads on pikes.  Never mind during his administration the largest fines ever imposed by the government have been against financial institutions.  Never mind he helped get Dodd-Frank passed that is the strongest laws and regulations against the financial sector since FDR.  Never mind he came up with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and put far-left hero Elizabeth Warren in charge of it, they didn't get the unicorns they felt was due them.  While the right was organizing and whipping up the masses into an anti-socialism frenzy, forming the Tea Party, having town hall meetings around the country, and spreading lie upon lie on social media and in emails, the left was pouting. Democratic members of Congress ran away from Obama and the Affordable Care Act because they were scared to stand up to the crazies on the right.  Progressives sat out the 2010 midterms because they didn't get their unicorns.  The results of this have been catastrophic. Meanwhile, the black swan president kept finding ways to move the country forward. It wasn't just far-left progressives who abandoned President Obama in 2010, it was also many Democratic members of Congress who lost their spines and balls at the sight of a bunch of angry octogenarians at town hall meetings.  They could have stood up for the Affordable Care Act, the stimulus, the auto bailout...but they didn't.  They ran away from the President and his policies.  Policies, now that he's left office, Democrats in Congress are saying have to be defended with every ounce of effort.  Instead of touting how these policies helped the working class, these cowardly Democratic officials hemmed and hawed out weak ass explanations while the opposition was organizing and pushing outlandish talking points and lies that became ingrained in conservatives' belief systems.  Meanwhile, the black swan president kept finding ways to move the country forward without help from lawmakers from his own party.
With no way to get anything passed in a now Republican-controlled House, President Obama moved the bar of progress forward anyway.  He made sure the DOJ didn't defend DOMA.  He expanded protections to the LBGT community.  He had the DOJ investigate corrupt and racist police department practices.  He got Syria to turn over its chemical weapons.  He negotiated a treaty with Iran ending their nuclear weapons program.  He did more to fight climate change than any president in history.  He helped push a revolution in renewable energies.  He expanded federally protected lands.  He oversaw the longest positive private sector jobs growth in history.  Whether it was the environment, health care, rights or jobs, President Obama did more than just about any modern-day president.  And, he did it all with the least amount of help.  FDR had major majorities in both houses of Congress every single one of his terms.  President Obama had a slim majority in the Senate for a couple of months that was lost when Ted Kennedy got sick and eventually passed away.  From that point on, he had no luxury of a working majority in the Senate and Republicans making sure nothing would get done.
Despite unprecedented political opposition, President Obama moved the bar of progress forward.  Despite unrelenting racist attacks, he never lashed out.  Despite the lack of support from members of his own party, he never turned on them.  Despite having his legitimacy questioned from day one, he held his head up and acted with dignity.  If you had to construct a president from scratch, you'd be hard pressed to construct one that would be better than President Obama.   This doesn't mean he didn't have his flaws.  Every president has them. However, his flaws were his willingness to believe his opposition had some bottom to the level to which they'd go, some basic ethical principles, some common ground from which he could work with them. Unfortunately, Republicans had no such limitations on their morals or conscience.   It is easy in hindsight to blame President Obama for missing the nature of his opposition.  That he wanted to believe the better nature of people could only be called a flaw by the most cynical of people.   As the black swan president, Obama had to walk a razor's edge that no one in history has had to tread.  He had to be twice as good, twice as nice, twice as everything in order to even be considered “normal.”  If he would have been “No Fucks To Give Obama” from the onset, he would have accomplished nothing. His pragmatic nature knew and understood this.  Unfortunately, like so many other things, too many progressives did not understand or appreciate not only the unique situation President Obama was in but how deftly he handled it to the betterment of us all. Unfortunately, the razor's edge he had to walk was not understood by even those who claim to have been his allies.  Whenever I hear criticism of him from the left, I always ask, “What would you have done differently?”  Inevitably, their response comes down to some idealistic act that completely ignores the realities and variables President Obama was faced with at the time he had to make his decision.  “I would have pushed for single-payer!”  Great, now explain how you would have got the Blue Dog Dems to even consider it so it would be discussed in committee, let alone reach the point where it would be voted on and passed.  “I would have closed Gitmo!”  Not without approval from Congress.  “I would have jailed bankers!”  Okay, on what grounds?  A lot of the causes of the financial and mortgage meltdown were legal.  “I would have helped those who suffered from the mortgage crisis more!”  How? What mechanism would you have used and how would you have gotten the majority of Congress to approve it because it would have to have financial help and that has to go through Congress?  It is easy to be a Monday-morning quarterback.  Hundreds of thousands of fat, lazy, living off their self-perceived glory days of high schools sports do it every day on sports talk shows.  Political decisions don't occur in a vacuum.  They happen in a very complex environment with dozens of moving parts and hundreds of personal agendas.  Wanting someone to do what you think should be done does not translate to what can be done. I've closely watched major political figures here and abroad for the good part of forty years.  In this time, I've never seen anyone get more bang-for-the-buck than President Obama.  Democrats had a workable majority (60 votes) for all of four months and one week in 2009.  That is the amount of time President Obama had legitimately get all the things the left say he could/should have.  For two hundred and eight weeks of his presidency, he had a workable majority for seventeen with an opposition party that refused to work with him on ANYTHING but please go ahead and tell me about how he should have done X or Y.
When the history books are written fifty years from now, when I am long dead and gone, I have no doubt that President Obama will be viewed as one of the most influential presidents in American history.  Sadly, like other influential presidents before him like Lincoln, FDR, and Johnson, he was not truly appreciated in his time, even by those of his party and those who claimed to be his ally.  I will always be proud of my vote for him, twice, to be our president.  I will always be upset at those on the right and the left who tried to undermine him.  I will always believe that America didn't deserve him.  I will always be damn thankful we had him.  He was the black swan.  He came out of nowhere.  He defied all conventions and history.  He had and will have a dominant role in history.  He will forever be my president.
When I think of President Obama, I am reminded of the scene at the end of “Excalibur” where King Arthur is talking to a mortally wounded Sir Lancelot:  “You are that and much more. You are its greatest knight, you are what is best in men.”  President Obama was our greatest modern-day president and what is best in men.

Newsletter: Coronavirus Spreads, Stocks Fall, Supply Chains Shudder
This is the web version of the WSJ’s newsletter on the economy. You can register for day-to-day delivery here
Every Chain Has Got a Weak Link
The world economy is shivering as coronavirus threatens international supply chains The last time a coronavirus outbreak struck China in 2003, the worldwide economy emerged reasonably untouched. Now, almost 20 years later on, the growth-damping results of a comparable pathogen threaten to ripple around a world transformed by China’s boom.
Chinese usage and production power growth from Asia to North America, Europe and beyond Producers global are tethered to China by the arms of a supply chain that counts on the country’s factories for numerous intermediate and finished goods. With worries of contagion keeping Chinese workers house, production is getting pinched. A month after the epidemic forced factories into limbo past their typical Lunar New Year break– a handful are resuming– authorities and economists are warning that an extended Chinese shutdown might cripple international manufacturing and cost the world as much as $1 trillion in lost output, Chuin-Wei Yap and Jon Emont report.
WHAT TO WATCH TODAY
The Dallas Fed’s making study for February is out at 10: 30 a.m. ET.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester speaks on the economic outlook and monetary policy at 3 p.m. ET.
President Trump is in India. Follow our coverage here
LEADING STORIES
Danger to International Development
New cases of coronavirus flared outside China, adding to international health authorities’ worries about the spread of the disease in dangerous brand-new pockets of infection The emergence of clusters of infection in new nations including South Korea, Italy and Iran reveal that it is unclear how the virus is transferred, Newley Purnell reports.
The quick spread of coronavirus in South Korea is bleak news for global makers South Korea’s exports are equivalent to 44%of its GDP, 2nd only to Germany among major advanced economies.
The Group of 20 major economies warned Sunday the fast-spreading coronavirus presented a severe risk to international development Financing ministers and main lenders talked about the infection, together with trade and geopolitical stress, at a weekend meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The officials didn’t lay out particular joint steps to take on the break out of Covid-19 in a post-meeting communiqué, however said the virus was main to discussions and agreed to monitor its spread, Rory Jones reports.
The International Monetary Fund cut China’s yearly development projection by 0.4 percentage points to 5.6%, compared to the fund’s pre-virus prediction in January. The slower growth would shave 0.1 percentage point off of global output.
Road Trip!
Falling fuel expenses are buoying U.S. customers. Some of the least expensive costs for crude oil and natural gas in years might assist cushion the U.S. from the financial fallout associated to the coronavirus.
Counterpoint: The recent increase of the U.S. to end up being the world’s largest manufacturer of oil and gas muddies the financial effect of more affordable energy. Personal investment in energy-related structures, for instance, has actually fallen for six straight quarters, developing a drag on general economic development.
Coming Home
Alongside consumers, real estate has actually been an essential component of current economic growth. U.S. house sales sputtered in January, the newest indication that some of the most affordable interest rates in half a century are failing to balance out high prices and limited stock.
On the brilliant side: From a year earlier, sales were up 9.6%, recommending the market has restored a few of its footing after a rocky stretch that started in 2018 and lasted well into2019 And just recently, some signs have emerged that more stock might be on the way. Residential building allows, often a bellwether for future home building and construction, in January climbed to the greatest level in 13 years.
Calmly and Very Fast
Expert system is anticipated to modify how Americans work on a scale similar to that of robotics and desktop computers– but this time, the employees who will be most impacted by the changes are most likely to be supervisors and professionals The most susceptible occupations include marketing professionals, financial consultants and computer system programmers– jobs that tend to pay high earnings and skew toward male, white and Asian workers, Eric Morath reports.
WHAT ELSE WE’RE READING
Coronavirus is speeding up the decoupling of global economies “An increased risk of violence in Taiwan, the inability of Europe to protect its own liberal democratic worths, and a world in which smart gadgets can no longer talk to each other across borders stand out possibilities. And all of these things could essentially reshape the international economy and geopolitics,” Rana Foroohar writes in the Financial Times
Race impacts authorities use of deadly force “While white and black officers use gun force at comparable rates in white and racially blended communities, white officers are five times as likely to utilize weapon force in mainly black communities. White officers increase use of any force much more than minority officers when dispatched to more minority communities. Consequently, difference-in-differences price quotes from individual officer repaired impact models indicate black … civilians are 30-60%most likely to experience any use of force, and 5 times as most likely to experience weapon usage of force, compared to if white officers scaled up force likewise to minority officers,” Mark Hoekstra and CarlyWill Sloan compose in a National Bureau of Economic Research study working paper

Vinny Appice – Black Sabbath műsorral jön a legendás dobos
Vinny Appice – Black Sabbath műsorral jön a legendás dobos - http://metalindex.hu/2018/04/29/vinny-appice-black-sabbath-musorral-jon-a-legendas-dobos/ -
A Black Sabbath, a Dio és a Heaven & Hell legendás dobosát, Vinny Appice-t üdvözölhetjük május 15-én a Backstage Pubban. Vinny saját zenekarával turnézik Európában, szinte teljes egészében előadva a Black Sabbath 1981-es albumát, a Mob Rules-t, valamint számos további Sabbath, Heaven & Hell és Dio slágert.
Nehéz még egy olyan testvérpárt találni a rockzene történetében, mint Vinny és Carmine Appice. Több mint 40 éves pályafutásuk alatt mindkét fivér a legismertebb dobosok közé került, számos legendás albumon és turnén vállaltak részt, méghozzá a műfaj legnagyobb zenekarainak tagjaként. Carmine pályafutása a ‘60-as években indult a Vanilla Fudge együttessel, majd Rod Stewart és Ozzy Ousbourne oldalán folytatta.  11 évvel fiatalabb öccse, Vinny pedig 1980-tól a Black Sabbath, majd később a Dio és a Heaven & Hell zenekarokban szerepelt Ronnie James Dio zenésztársaként.
A két dobos fivér, Carmine és Vinny között egy 2014-es koncertlemezt leszámítva eddig nem volt direkt zenei együttműködés, így a tavaly ősszel megjelent első közös lemezük, a Sinister igazi kuriózumnak számít. A Steamhammer kiadó gondozásában megjelent anyag CD, bakelit és digitális formátumban érhető el; a címadó dalt itt hallgathatjuk meg: https://youtu.be/poDYC3_-SuA
A 13 dalt tartalmazó albumon nemcsak a két testvér dolgozott együtt, hanem számos illusztris vendég is: hallhatjuk Craig Goldy, Erik Turner, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Mick Sweda (Bulletboys) és Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake) gitárosokat, Tony Franklin és Phil Soussan basszusgitárosokat, Paul Shortino énekes-gitárost, Jim Crean, Scotty Bruce, Robin McAuley és Chas West énekeseket. Az egyik legnagyobb meglepetést pedig maga Carmine Appice okozza, hiszen a 70 éves dobos maga is vállalt énekesi feladatokat a You Got Me Running című nótában. Vinny elmondása szerint ez amúgy nem az első alkalom, hogy Carmine énekesi vagy vokalista szerepet vállal, de sokan nem tudnak erről, így különösen nagy öröm volt, hogy a közös lemezre is felkerült egy ilyen dal.
Vinny mostani európai turnéján turnéján Piero Leporale (Uli Jon Roth) énekes, Fabio Cerrone (Tony Martin, Marco Mendoza) gitáros és Barend Courbois (Blind Guardian) basszusgitáros vesz részt. A programmal elsősorban a Black Sabbath Mob Rules című legendás albumára koncentrálnak majd, amin Vinny eredetileg is játszott – ezúttal szinte teljes egészében előadják majd, de számíthatunk további Sabbath, Dio és Heaven & Hell klasszikusokra is, mint például a Holy Driver, a Falling of the Edge of the World, a War Pigs vagy a Last In Line. Ezen a 2015-ös felvételen például a Heaven & Hell-t dobolja éppen a mester: https://youtu.be/jwzhMvD2uE0
a Livesounds bemutatja: Mob Rules Live 2018. május 15., kedd 19 óra
Budapest, Backstage Pub Vinny Appice Band koncert Belépő: 4800 Ft Jegyek kaphatók a Ticketportal, a Tex és a Tixa hálózatában.
