Some were dumbfounded that we should take it upon ourselves to challenge the direction of U.S. domestic and foreign policy while an African was at the helm of the U.S. government.

The claims made by the current Administration that relief for homeowners is on the way obscure the reality that few of those most in need will find any relief from the Obama Plan. In particular few in the Black community which has been the target of more sub prime loans than any other community will benefit from these programs. A careful look at the plan reveals who benefits and who will not; It also reveals how the The Obama plan protects the interests of the banks at the direct expense of great suffering and loss of income in the black community. Far from ending the predatory practices which have ravaged black communities in the US the Obama plan continues to support additional profits earned through criminal activity by predatory banks and lenders such as Goldman Sachs supported fully by the Obama administration.
