I loved T. J. Holmes but last night ....

he and two guests were discussing the Obama Debate.

It was my first time watching his new show and I was sad when he left CNN.

Bottom line --- he was NOT being supportive in my opinion of President Obama's performance in the Debate.
He had one guest " NOT for Obama and ONE guest FOR him --
TJ was happily agreeing with the " No" guest.

MSNBC Rev. Al and several others were doing their best to be supportive of the President -- especially after the initial shock immediately following the debate.

In my view, BET should be helping African American viewers to understand what points the president was addressing in our favor.

If I wanted to hear negatives I can watch Fox news.
I'm sending a letter to him today -- I'm not on Facebook but I sure would like to post it!

About it last night - flipped onto it after 15 seconds . . . He had Ron Christie on. Ron Christie is a person of the lie. He lives it. He breathes it. So having him on a program doesn't really give us another side. No. No. It gives us another lie.

I'm not on Twitter but my friend will post my note to T. J. on T.J's Facebook page.I am so angry!

Now that I'm thinking about it ~ aren't the owners of BET Rethugs?
