3. This African American must agree with you~

I am reading a thought provoking piece by Randall Robinson called "The Debt."...

He stated," Beyond cabinet and other job appointments that have small impact on the general black community, Bill Clinton did discernibly little for Black people..."

"In his first term, Clinton's policies followed a distinct slant toward a more conservative and Republican course on social issues. He sponsored the most punitive crime bill in history, which passed in 1993; after suffering the defeat of his "economic stimulus package," which contained funds for urban development, he never put it back on the table. He signed the most punitive welfare reform bill in history,effecting a revolution in New Deal policy toward government support for the poor, and thousands of people silently have been sifted out of federal government employment through the "reinventing government program."

Though I am supporting OBAMA, I have always been a big supporter of President Clinton.

My people and ALL people, need to take another look at how much of a "Black President he was..."

Maybe he had a Crystal Ball when he realized that moving his office to Harlem was another way of sealing the deal for his wife's run to the WHITE House.

PEACE on this Martin Luther King Day to ALL.
