Obamas broken promise to jobless blacks
"Today's economy has made it easier to fall into poverty. … Every American is vulnerable to the insecurities and anxieties of this new economy. And that's why the single most important focus of my economic agenda as president will be to pursue policies that create jobs and make work pay," Obama said that day to his mostly black audience.At that time, the nation's overall unemployment rate was 4.7%. Whites had a jobless rate of 4.2% while the black unemployment rate stood at 8.1%. Today, the black rate is 15.5%, nearly double that of white job-seekers. ... By DeWayne Wickham at ...

Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April.His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president.

Obama is trapped by past policy mistakes
Obama is trapped by past policy mistakes as were Kennedy and Johnson, cheered by an offstage chorus crying, "if only" and "not enough" and "just one more surge". He and Petraeus have to find a means and a language to disengage from Afghanistan, to allow the anti-western hysteria of the Muslim world – which the west has done so much to foster – now to cool. It is hard to imagine a greater tragedy than for the most exciting American president in a generation to be led by a senseless intervention into a repeat of America's greatest postwar debacle. Barack Obama and his amanuensis, ...

Marching toward reform in Arizona (and beyond) The March for Innovation that kicked off today signals the ramping up of efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform. For OFA volunteers, it's an opportunity to take the actions they've been coordinating for months and amplify them online. In Arizona—a state that will be deeply impacted by immigration reform—volunteers have been especially active this spring. Last month, the Tucson chapter held a rally in front of the offices of Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain. At the podium, local attorney Vince Rabago summed it up: "We must resolve the system in a fair, human, and responsible way." Meanwhile in Phoenix, 39 supporters came together with handmade signs at Indian Steele Park to hear from speakers like Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego, Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform, and Promise Arizona. Rep. Gallego encouraged Senators McCain and Flake, two of the members of the "Gang of Eight" who helped write the immigration bill, to make reform a reality. Go digital |

And all of this has helped to make Austin one of the fastest-growing cities in America." We know tech is big in these parts, but does it drive more than ... >> More |
