Black Salvage

Tuesday, January 23, President George Bush gave his sixth State of the Union Address, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. When the President gives a SOUA, his main objectives are to inform the American citizens of the major issues that affect our nation at the present time. In addition, he discusses reforms, laws, policies, and initiatives that will be presented in the future. This was a very important State of the Union for Bush; His approval rating is at an all-time low (35%), the Democrats control both chambers of Congress, and the Iraqi War is declining day by day. Below is a synopsis of Bush's speech, included in his speech were the issues of economy, domestic policy, energy supply, Iraq, and foreign policy. ECONOMY Bush discusses four economic proposals for the future. He informs of attempts to balance the federal budget without raising taxes; this has been a big issue for Republicans, ever since Bush himself was in diapers. He will also submit a budget to Congress that will d

Just informing all you Democrats and Hillary supporters that she has indeed put her bid in for '08. Whether this is a good or bad thing? Only time will tell. Ok, we got a woman, we got a black guy( Barack Obama), we got an Hispanic ( Bill Richardson, Gov Of New Mexico), now we need an Asian- any suggestions. Want to see Hillary in the White House? Leave a comment.

Let me start by stating that this is in no way an article bashing Senator Barack Obama. After reading this article some may call me idiotic, or a pessimist; but, I like to call myself a realist. Will he run? That is the question that is on a lot of peoples mind. Will Barack Obama, the only black American in Senate, run for Vice President or President of the United States. Currently, Obama is not sure of whether or not he will put his bid in for the presidency. In the past, he has made several hints. With appearances on the cover of TIME (" Why Barack Could Be The Next President") and Newsweek (" The Race Is On") magazine, many believe that his bid will come in the near future. In a recent Democratic voters poll, Obama ranked second among potential Democratic nominations, Hillary Clinton ranked first. Many celebrities, such as, George Clooney, Matt Damon, and unfortunately, Oprah Winfrey have expressed support for Obama entering the 2008 presidential race. The next

When Jerel first told me about his weblog, I immediately dismissed it (Sorry Jerel). After seeing his commitment and passion to "Black Salvage", I decided to rethink my position. After six months of debating, I finally decided to add something new and innovative to his already insightful blog spot. My name is Quintin Wallace. I currently reside in Annapolis, Maryland. I am a student at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland; but hopefully by Fall 2007, I will be enrolling at UMBC. politics, women, fashion, and music are a few of my interest. I consider myself a free-thinker who has a lot of ideas that are based around theology, history, and most importantly, politics. Even though Jerel and I are two completely different people; we share two common interest: politics and the state of the black race. My goals as a writer for "Black Salvage" is to inform, debate, and interest people in not just the future of the black race (even though it is top priority); bu
