Can Obama and Clinton Look Any More Ridiculous On Iran?

Regardless of what neocons say, the Iranian nuclear program has not violated any IAEA safeguards and so the repeated descriptions of it being an “illicit program” are nothing more than calls for war by the same lairs who painted us into the corner in Iraq, another neocon propaganda success story.
 Now the U.S. wants sanctions brought against Iran for Iran, Brazil, and Turkey enacting the exact policy the U.S. sought only a few months ago.  If this does not expose the hypocrisy and stupidity of our leaders and their disdain for our intelligence, I don’t know what will.  How can Obama and Clinton expect anyone in the international community to take them seriously?  They have been exposed and disgraced while becoming an irrelevant international laughingstock.

Is Black Unemployment a Human Rights Issue?

African American unemployment is currently at 16.5 percent, nearly twice the national average of 9.7 percent. For African American males age 20 and over, the unemployment rate is 19 percent, nearly twice the national average. For African American women, the rate is twice that of their white counterparts, and among African American teenagers, the unemployment rate looms at 41 percent.

The visible successes of a relative few African Americans can mask the widespread structural inequality facing many of our communities. Research by Algernon Austin at the Economic Policy Institute has demonstrated the consistently high rates of under- and unemployment among African Americans as evidence of a "permanent recession." This is true, he argues, when the economy is strong. So, when the rest of the nation is experiencing a recession, what are African Americans experiencing? That's right, a depression.

'The Oil Catastrophe could turn out to be America's worst ecological disaster yet'.

Obama knows that widening oil drilling techniques are not going to fix the American energy problem. As he said in late March from the Andrews Airforce Base in Maryland, where he lifted the moratorium on off-shore drilling: the US cannot drill its way out of the energy problems.

Health costs keep rising as reform misses mark

A new report from the Health and Human Services Department found that the latest health care bill will cost roughly $311 billion over the next 10 years, rather than saving money.
President Barack Obama kept telling us that his reform would “bend the cost curve” to slow the dramatic increase in health care costs.
Tossing aside the jargon, it seems that Obama was suggesting that his reform would lower costs over time, which was, clearly, wrong.
