The instant the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act by knocking out the key provision requiring Justice Department preclearance before a locale can alter or institute new voting procedures the  call went up for Congress to restore some version of this requirement. President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder quickly added their voices to that call. The chances of that happening are nil if the GOP has its…

It was more than fitting that President Obama’s inauguration fell on the national day of celebration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was even more fitting that he took the oath of office on the bible that King used. More than any other resident of the White House, Obama understood that King is a big reason for his political success. Then Democratic presidential candidate Obama first publicly expressed deep gratitude to King and the…

There were two telling moments in the Second debate that passed under the media spin radar scope but pointed to something troubling for President Obama. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney evoked God and defense of gun ownership. That was a subtle unstated reaffirmation of a political chit that Romney banks on. And that’s a wipeout of Obama with the rural vote. Then Democratic presidential candidate Barack…

The Reverend William Owens is banking that anti-gay marriage sentiment among blacks is so strong that it will put a crimp in President Obama’s near solid black voter support. He’s founded a group called the Coalition of African-American Pastors and he and his undetermined sized group are so confident that…

Attorney General Eric Holder hang tough and ignore Florida Senator Marco Rubio and the soon to be drumbeat of other Republicans sniffing your blood that will call for your resignation. He’s done nothing wrong.  He has turned over thousands of documents to the political witch hunting chair of the…

The GOP controlled House Oversight Committee’s threat to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder are merely the tail end of the GOP’s endless ploy to harass, embarrass, and ultimately weaken President Obama. The GOP always saw Holder as the weak link in the Obama administration; the one appointee who had potentially…

The chatter flew hot and heavy that former President Bill Clinton may be more of a liability than an asset to President Obama’s reelection drive. His alleged sins are two fold. He is a loose cannon who might say anything at any time that could harm or embarrass Obama. His quips that he…

House Majority leader John Boehner’s “green light” to the GOP controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to consider a contempt of Congress citation against Attorney General Eric Holder is just the latest in the continuing dance of political gamesmanship the GOP is…

The tweet from the White House on the Trayvon Martin slaying was much briefer than even the brief number of words allowed by twitter and essentially said that there was nothing to say. White House press secretary Jay Carney was even more emphatic when asked whether the President had any comment to make on…

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Even before President Obama publicly announced that he would tap Eric Holder for Attorney General, he knew Holder would be a tough sell job. So he quietly asked key Senate Republicans whether they would go to war to block his confirmation.  The GOP response was at best a tepid, and a far from…
