GOP Really Does Deserve Blame for Fiscal Cliff Peril

 

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

GOP congressional leaders and officials never tire of accusing President Obama of trying to blame them for the chaos that would result if the nation tumbles over the fiscal cliff. They are right and they deserve every bit of the blame for pushing the nation to the budget brink. Surveys and polls consistently show that the overwhelming majority of Americans say that they want a deal on the budget, and that deal must include the…

Poor First to Barrel over the Fiscal Cliff

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

President Obama took much heat a year ago when he floated a series of proposed budget cuts that would have slashed programs for the poor. The cuts would have reduced funding or eliminated out right community service block grants that fund an array of community education, health and social service programs in poor, underserved, largely inner-city neighborhoods, cut programs in science, technology, youth mentoring programs, and…

How the NRA Kills and will continue to Try and Kill Gun Curbs

 

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

This past September the National Rifle Association swung into high gear. It posted these blunt action alerts on its website to its tens of thousands of members and backers. “Senator Ben Nelson needs to go.” Outgoing Nebraska Senator Nelson’s alleged sin was that he helped put Sonia Sotomayor on the Supreme Court. It reminded its supporters that the Nebraska Senator can’t be a pro-gun senator when he backs anti-gun judges. It’s…

What If President Obama Simply Issued Executive Orders Toughening Gun Curbs

 

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

 

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers implored President Obama to simply issue executive orders toughening gun curbs. They made their impassioned plea three years before the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. They and others will make even more impassioned pleas to Obama to put his executive pen to paper and enact one or more measures that put some clamps on the types of guns that can be bought and sold and who…

Finger-point Congress, Not President Obama, for Killing 18 Life Saving Gun Curb Bills

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

The Sandy Hook Elementary School monstrous massacre guaranteed that the heat will be turned up on President Obama to take the “meaningful action” that he called for on gun control. The heat is justified, but it’s not the White House that has routinely killed life-saving gun control measures during the past decade. It’s been Congress.

 The spectacular scope and magnitude of the congressional wipe out is barely known to the…

Sandy Hook School Massacre Presents Towering Challenge for President Obama



Earl Ofari Hutchinson

A compassionate and tearful President Obama minced no words following the Sandy Hook, Connecticut school massacre and demanded action. Though Obama did not specify what action he had in mind, the action that has and will again spark colossal debate is how to crack down on the manic and senseless gun violence that has caused indescribable pain and suffering for so many victims, and now those victims are the innocent of…

The Senselessness of it All-Pedro Baez

Today’s tragedy didn’t make any sense at all. What do 20 innocent children in Newtown, CT have to with a deranged individual is beyond me. This could have happened to my children back in the 80’s and 90’s when they were in school. It could…

Why Obama Must Stand Firm on Taxing the Wealthy

 

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

President Obama has heard every argument from the GOP, the gaggle of conservative economists, and financial analysts on why it’s foolhardy to press for a tax hike on the wealthy. The hike won’t come close to raising the revenue needed to avert the fiscal cliff. It will stunt business growth and drive the economy into another recession. The wealthy already pay more than their fair of taxes while millions of Americans on the…

Tea Party Now a Huge GOP Liability

 

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

The resignation of South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint from the Senate followed close on the heels of the desertion from the Tea Party of Freedom Works head Dick Armey took some by surprise. DeMint and Armey were the two biggest and most identifiable fish in the Tea Party affiliated pond. DeMint could be relied on to broker his name ID and prodigious fund raising prowess to every Tea Party backed Senatorial candidate—and…
