Public school advocates now okay with “The dog ate my homework”
by Duane on July 14th, 2011 at 11:01 pmPosted In: Education
I was thinking as I was coming home that any minute someone is going to recast the teachers in the Atlanta Public School cheating scandal as “victims” of NCLB (No Child Left Behind).

Don’t fall for the okie doke. Black America must still hold Obama accountable
by Duane on July 11th, 2011 at 7:07 amPosted In: Headlines
For months the Obama fan base has not been able to offer up any type of real defense to the ever growing list of Obama’s broken promises. But suddenly, we need to look back over 151 years in detail of Black history to prove Michele Bachmann wrong. Mind you, these are the SAME individuals who [...]

The press is somewhat shocked that Americans are not lining up at the political ice cream shop and asking for more chocolate. But Obama was such a great flavor back in ’08.

Not Reagan’s exact words. But heck, I’ll take the credit.
Apparently, the fence that divided people in the Black community as “haters” and “authentic Black folks” is starting to come down.

Aaron McGruder cracks on everybody. So it wasn’t that surprising to me that he recently decided to take a swipe at Obama supporters in his latest episode of “The Boondocks”.
And just think that months ago, something like this would have probably been banned from television or at least created some type of uproar [...]

“Some leading blacks say that President Obama has neglected Anacostia and that he’s neglected African-Americans as a whole. The recession has taken a disproportionate toll on African-Americans in unemployment, social service and education budget cuts, foreclosures and bankruptcies, and some social commentators, including prominent radio and TV host Tavis Smiley, lay the blame at Obama’s [...]

WASHINGTON (AP) – The election-year jobs agenda promised by President Barack Obama and Democrats has stalled seven months before voters determine control of Congress.

(Reuters) “Last month, the Obama administration announced a $1.25 billion settlement with black farmers left out of loan and assistance programs administered by the U.S. Agriculture Department due to racism, one of the largest civil rights settlements in U.S. history.
But the deal was contingent on Congressional approval by March 31. Lawmakers leave on Friday for [...]

I was going to write the other day about how all the cheers about how the health care bill finially passed had less to do with health care itself, but the fact that Obama was the one that did it. As I mentioned in a previous post, polling data was used constantly to make the [...]
