President Obama

Since Barack Obama was elected president, only 10 percent of Americans believe that race relations have gotten better, according to a New York Times/CBS Poll published today.

The poll found 17 percent of blacks and 8 percent of whites believe race relations have improved under Obama.

Thirty five percent of Americans believe that race relations have gotten worse in the Obama era — including 40 percent of whites and 21 percent of blacks.

President Barack Obama says Washington "feels as broken as it did four years ago," when he took office.

He says he's most frustrated by the inability "to change the atmosphere" in the nation's capital "to reflect the decency and common sense of ordinary people" who want their leaders to solve problems.

"There's enough blame to

Fred Luter and Barack Obama share historical distinctions as African Americans' first Southern Baptist Convention and U.S. presidents, respectively, but on the major political-moral issue of gay marriage they are on opposite sides - a disagreement driven by Luter's commitment to the Bible.

"I believe that nothing, nothing can be politically right if it's biblically wrong," Luter said July 10 in an interview with Florida Baptist Witness.

"The Word of God says marriage is between one man an

Obama Pushing New Initiative Called "Fatherhood Buzz" to Reach Out to Fathers through Barber Shops

President Barack Obama is celebrating Father's day a few days early by having an impromptu lunch with two members of the military and two local barbers.

Obama is touting a mentoring initiative aimed at reaching out to fathers with positive parenting advice from barbers and barbershops.

He ate a barbecue lunch of ribs, collard greens and corn bread, telling his Capitol Hill lunch guests that "barbershops are a good place" to share advice on taking responsibility for childre

A growing chorus of once-confident Democrats now say President Barack Obama could lose the November election.

The hand-wringing reflects real worries among Democrats about Obama's ability to beat Republican rival Mitt Romney, who has proven to be a stronger candidate t

Obama Reaches Out to Pastors After Making Homosexual Marriage Decision

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 14, 2012 at 12:42pm

About two hours after declaring his support for same-sex marriage last week, President Obama gathered eight or so African-American ministers on a conference call to explain himself. He had struggled with the decision, he said, but had come to believe it was the right one.

The ministers, though, were not all as enthusiastic. A vocal few made it clear that the president's stand on gay marriage might make it difficult for them to support his re-election.

"They were wrestling with their abilit

Hillary Clinton says Biden Ought to be Like First Lady Obama

Joe Biden may need to keep his mouth shut and support President Obama, according to Hillary Clinton.

"Being a vice president is kind of like being a first lady," she told the New York Times' Mark Leibovich. "You are there to support and serve the president. There is no job description."

Leibovich's piece explores the political firestorm that erupted after Biden said Sunday that he is "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex marriage. The White House rushed to walk back the remarks, maintaining

The Washingon Post says Biden's Homosexual Announcement Is a Big Mess for Obama; Reporters "Laugh at" Frustrated White House Spokesman Jay Carney

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 8, 2012 at 4:54pm

If Vice President Biden continues to make public appearances during this campaign, White House press secretary Jay Carney should be offered a membership in the janitors' union.

As things stand, the spokesman does not have the supplies necessary to clean up the mess Biden made in his appearance Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." Biden gave his full support to same-sex marriage -- a position conspicuously at odds with the public stance of his boss, President Obama, who is widely assumed to shar
