There is a radio program on Saturday afternoons by a guy named Charles Payne. It’s a finance and investment show. Until I saw a Glenn Beck show recently, I had no idea Payne was black. He has a great life story and is on the Beck show right now with an audience that is all black. It’s an interesting show. Payne grew up poor in Harlem and, as long as he can remember, he wanted to be a businessman. His great desire as a kid was to have a briefcase. Finally, for Christmas, he got one plus a calculator inside it. He says it was his best Christmas ever. He joined the Air Force so he could go to college on the GI Bill.
What a great life story ! What a contrast with the Reverend Wright church !
He readily admits he voted for Obama and I can certainly see why he would do so. His explanation is that he was hoping the example, of Obama coming up through education, would counteract all the stereotypes of black kids reaching success only as rappers or professional athletes. He’s disappointed but I think he has a good point about Obama being a better example for kids.
I am very impressed with this guy whose investment show is the best I have found on radio. The life story is just a bonus. I am also impressed with Beck. I am not impressed with the ridiculous Harry Reid, who shows once again the racism of the left.
I also listen to Payne’s show here in So. Cal. on Saturdays. No clue he was black or that he voted Obama. He has just always been so impressively smart and spot-on with his tips and investment insights. I love a great entrepreneurial story and he certainly is a living one
I don’t listen to his radio show, but he appears on Beck (which I watch faithfully) quite often; indeed, I saw the episode you’ve referred to and agree 100%, Doc.
Yep… I could see a night out at Luger’s with Payne being a gas.
(*WINK*)
Beck has a BUNCH of great guests. Stossel too! (Have you been DVRing/watching Stossel’s new show? If not, you should be.)
