GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney predictably jumped all over the jobs report for July which saw joblessness tick up slightly. He called it a hammer blow for the middle-class.  Certainly much has been made of the fact that no president has won reelection since World War II with the…

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…

Two reports issued the same day told of two appalling realities. One report on poverty was based on an AP survey. It found that the poor are getting poorer, and more numerous than at any time in the last half century. The other report from the Tax Justice Network found that the super-rich are getting richer, and they are…

There are three numbers that tell the colossal danger that GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney poses to the Supreme Court. The numbers are the ages of the three justices. Justice Anthony Kennedy is 75 (soon to turn 76). Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 79. Justice Stephen Breyer is…

A black Republican advocacy group wasted no time in hitting the airwaves moments after GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney addressed the NAACP convention. The group touted Romney’s alleged triumph in getting more than a few of the hostile crowd to cheer him at times. Their national radio ad taunted Obama like…

The GOP’s relentless war on alleged rampant voter fraud targets, not thousands, as many critics have noted, but millions of eligible voters. To no surprise, the Brennan Center for Justice found that the majority of the five…

GOP Florida Representative Allen West’s shoot from the lip, borderline crackpot quips, digs, and insults at women, blacks, Democrats, and especially President Obama have become the virtual stuff of legend. West always manages to grab headline attention every time he moves his lips to take his off-beat,…

Every Democratic or Republican president or presidential candidate since 1920 has either directly addressed the NAACP annual convention or sent a warm message. The ritual is even more imperative for the nation’s top politicians to follow during a presidential election year. Former President George W. Bush was almost the lone exception. He…

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…

President Obama was indeed prophetic when he said at a press conference a year ago that his release of his long form birth certificate would not convince countless numbers of anti-Obama skeptics that he was a bona fide American. Nearly a year after  the president called it right on the bogus issue, the Public Policy Polling…

Presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got exactly what he wanted at the Universal Bluford Charter School in West Philadelphia. That was the ultimate photo-op. He had a room filled with black teachers, administrators, and at times smiling students. But most importantly he had banks of TV cameras and reporters recording his every move and…

The vote on the gay marriage ban in North Carolina’s Halifax County drew some national ink. The County in Northeast part of the state is mostly rural and majority black. It backed the state’s anti-gay marriage initiative by a whopping two to one majority. The anti-gay marriage vote there was taken as a jittery sign that some blacks out of…

 It was never whether, but when President Obama would say yes to gay marriage. The tipoff that he’d back gay marriage came long before Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said yes to gay marriage. It came before legions of top Democrats said yes to gay marriage.…

A hanging effigy that looked suspiciously like President Obama on a flatbed truck in New York City  and the sign on the Peach Oyster Bar in Unincorporated Draketown, Georgia “I do not support the N… in the White House” normally could be chalked off as the by now pro forma crackpot bigotry of the…

Put “President” in front of Newt Gingrich and there’s an even chance “white supremacy” could be put in front of his presidential moniker.  The suddenly surging Gingrich upped his racially loaded pandering scorecard with the resurface of a handwritten first draft of a…
