Pat could sell ice to Eskimos and talk her way into Fort Knox. The difference between Pat and other people, however, is that Pat could make the best of the opportunity. She knew what the client needed and had the answer when they asked her, “So, what you got?” Pat Tobin helped others build and…

Barack Obama has risen to national prominence, advocating that the American people must take its nation back – that it must change Washington. Obama not only talks about “the time,” he talks (and walks) in time with what Americans need, staying in the moment which is what many Americans want – though they may not…

John McCain’s codification, while not as damning as Clinton’s, is not much better. To suggest that Obama’s “inexperience” doesn’t make him suited for the Presidency, infers that Obama is not “smart enough” to be President. It’s on record that McCain has a real distain for what he touts as Obama’s lack of experience, but experience…

The Black Press has served as an ultimate check against a constant “white-out” of issues in our community and the constant distortion of facts that continually misrepresent black communities and the people who live there.

So, here is where we begin the re-education of Jay Leno about black people, in general, and black women, in…

The petty picking at Barack Obama continued into this week’s Pennsylvania primary as Hilary Clinton continued to grasp at straws in her last ditch effort to remain relevant for the Democratic Party nomination. For the last two weeks, Clinton and pundits have used Obama’s inarticulation on the subject of economic hardship, as a reason to…

Most know (and acknowledge) that Hillary won’t win. Not that she can’t, if she were the nominee, but she won’t be the nominee – not if the Democrats’ nomination process has any integrity, or if the truth becomes the lie. The Democratic Party created the proportional delegate process. Now Clinton wants winner take all or…
