Obama and the Losing Olympic Bid Pitch On Friday, October 2, 2009, the world was stunned to learned that the 2016 Olympic games would not be held in a major country.

Preston Smith III The Far Left takes advantage of the death of Dr. George Tiller

Hello everyone, starting off the new week again late I know, but I have more work on me these days, but I am going to simply just push through it. With that said, lets get started with the blog.

Preston Smith III Obama annouces Supreme Court nominee

Hello everyone, I am sorry I didnt blog for the first couple of days, but I have been a little busy traveling on business. I am here now and I am ready to go. With that said check out this blog. Unless you have been living under a rock, you would know that Barack Obama has nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. The significance to this is that she is the second Hispanic to be nominated to the highest court in the land and the third female in the court's history. (Supreme Court Justice… Continue

Preston Smith III Cheney vs. Obama

Hello everyone, I wanted to do a lil something different with the blog today. I've decided to do a comparison between President Obama and Former VP Cheney. Both gave major speeches on National Security today. Cheney's speech has been scheduled for months, while Obama's was scheduled in response to the congress who refused to give one dime to Obama and the closing of GITMO until the administration has come up with a plan. What I am going to do is let you decide what you think by watching the vid… Continue

Yemi Commentary: Obama’s 1st 100 days Change or Continuity?

My intial reaction was what’s all the fuzz about 100 days? and must be solely media driven ,I guess it’s a tradition ever since FDR’s new deal in the 30’s.Although some say what a president does in his /her (her for future purposes ) 1st 100 days determines the rest of their presidency , Which I strongly disagree with , for example the last president , George .W.Bush was on a different agenda till 911 happened .He went from mainly focusing on his domestic policies to an international one . Every… Continue

TS Aschenge President Obama and the New American Racial Contract

Let’s face it, just a few months ago, if you would have asked any number of African Americans if they really believed that they just might actually live to see a Black American President, you could be certain that almost if not all to a one they would have responded with a resou… Continue

Demetrius Thornton What Makes you A Republican

I was sitting around this week listening to all of the talk about pirates and the economy and of course President Obama, and I started to get a little tired of hearing the bitter language between Democrats and Republicans being thrown around. Now I do consider myself a republican (thought I like conservative better), but I find that I do tend to disagree with many of the statements and attacks that have been thrown at the President (minus the whole bowing thing) with that side I have to ask myse… Continue

Roosevelt Evans III "The Dreams Of President Obama"

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were. John F. Kennedy Skeptics and cynics have their place in human society and endeavors. Such thinkers help us to articulate and fully perceive our problems but as JFK pointed out their "horizons are limited by the obvious realities". Genuine problem solvers are men and women who dare to dream, be optimistic and… Continue

Roosevelt Evans III "Obama Is No Reagan"

I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life. Ronald Reagan One of the things I liked about Ronald Reagan was his seeming optimism and confidence, even in his assassination attempt when he quipped to his wife, "I forgot to duck". Though Reagan never openly spoke about racial issues, he wasn't a racist. Whether you agreed with his political ideology or not, President Reagan made Americans fe… Continue

Kevin Jackson Obama is Always Late!

It is said that the Bush policy was "be on time, all the time." Like the dress code, Obama has apparently abandoned this "eight years of the previous administration" policy as well. I learned recently that Obama may now indeed get to claim the distinction of being the first Black pres… Continue

Roosevelt Evans III "Some Things Are Best Left Unsaid"

President Obama's inaugural call for Americans to participate in a "new era of responsibility" rings true. He's right that government alone cannot remake the country. Individuals must also take steps that, collectively, lead to a national change in thinking and behavior. But what steps? The new president didn't say in any great detail. Rather, he pointed out that every American must re… Continue

Kevin Jackson Economic Impact on Obama's Coronation

With all the hoopla surrounding the coronation of Obama, you would think that you wouldn't be able to find a place to stay in DC. Prices for a week's rental of modest accommodations were said to be going for $10,000 a week, right after the election. One of my Black friends who hail… Continue

Roosevelt Evans III "Obama's Tax Cuts For Phony Jobs"

Democratic senators emerging from a private meeting of the Senate Finance Committee criticized business and individual tax cuts in Obama's stimulus plan. They were especially critical of a proposed $3,000 tax credit for companies that hire or retrain workers. "If I'm a business person, it's unlikely if you give me a several-thousand-dollar credit that I'm going to hire people if I can't sell the products they're… Continue
