Commentary: Obama, McCain should help fight black AIDS
I initially wanted to write about Sen. John McCain’s double-talk on the issue of affirmative action. Based on his various statements, I’m not sure where in the heck he stands. Another potential topic was the silliness over getting a new press release each day about Sen. Barack Obama canceling a visit to [...]
Commentary: How Obama can get beyond Rev. Wright
(CNN) — Let’s not kid ourselves, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was going to be a part of this presidential campaign through November, whether Sen. Barack Obama smacked his former pastor upside the head, or not.
