I don’t know about other black folks, but let me go on record and say that I support Barack Obama’s re-election simply because he’s black. Yes, I went there. Uh-huh, I did; but, I’m not exactly like George Will who suggested that the only reason Obama is beating Mitt Romney in the polls is because [...]

Before I get deep into this post, allow me to take a moment to give major props to the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. I don’t know if you’ve heard — because, unlike me you’re busy watching Reality TV — but the unemployment rate has now fallen to 7.8 percent. This is a record [...]

It’s been a while since I last watched anything on Fox News, but I did last night. I specifically watched Sean Hannity’s show last night, because he had an exposé on Barack Obama that was guaranteed to rock his bid for reelection. I was told that a secret video of Obama had surfaced, so I [...]

OK, so about the narrative that we’re not any better off now than we were four years ago. Yeah, let’s take a look at that for a few, shall we? OK, so let’s overlook the fact that t low-wage jobs, paying $13.83 per hour or less, have dominated the recovery to date according to a [...]

There’s something ironic about Ann Coulter saying that racism would be dead if it wasn’t for the mainstream media and Democrats, while peddling a book on Fox & Friends about how racist Democrats are. Yep, this from the woman who not too long ago in defense of Herman Cain said that, “Our blacks are better [...]

Back in 2008 – well, as early as 2005 – I was pretty sure that as it related to the election of Barack Obama that racism was alive and well enough to override common sensibilities and that he would not be president just yet. Then on August 29, 2008 it was announced that Sarah Palin [...]

So yeah, about that whole lazy moocher, non-tax-paying, 47 percent, Obama-loving-voter meme running around in right-wing circles this week thanks to Mitt Romney. My man David Callahan who blogs over at Demos has done an excellent job of debunking much of it in a recent post titled, Freeloader Fabrications. I believe the post to be [...]

I don’t know how many of you reading this right now consider yourselves to be members of America’s shrinking Middle Class. However, isn’t it great to know that the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney actually cares about you? So much so that he continues bellicose assault on the lies of Barack Obama with you on [...]

It’s one thing to critique Pres. Obama, but it’s another thing to do so while distorting the facts. You know, sorta like the GOP is known to do? Having said that, I’m now wondering if my man, Dr. Boyce Watkins is on their payroll. He probably isn’t; however, what Dr. Watkins said via his YouTube [...]

I missed pretty much all of the live coverage of the DNC 2012 opening night. I opted to go to the gym for a much-needed workout since I kinda-sorta slacked off over the holiday weekend. I had hoped to maybe catch the replay by the time I got home before going to bed. But, instead, [...]

Back when most of my friends were mad at Corey Booker for finding the Obama campaign Bain attacks to be “nauseating,” I defended him. I’m not going to say that said attacks didn’t work, or helped to frame the debate and establish a clear choice between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney. As a matter of [...]
