• Tv One Premieres Special One-Hour Interview with Democratic Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama Monday, July 2 at 7pm

When [Roland S. Martin] asks, "'Doesn't it bother you when people question, 'Is he black enough?,'" Sen. [Barack Obama] says,"... My appeal to the African American community is not based on the color of my skin, it's based on what I've done. I've got a track record on issues that are important to the African American community, I've been there, I've done that. I haven't just talked about it. And as people get more familiar with my track record, when they see he passed racial profiling legislation, he made sure the death penalty system was working, when people see that instead of representing large clients, he represented black folks and women who had been discriminated against on the job, then I think people start feeling confident. . .that, this guy's going to be an advocate for ordina...

• Sex Scandals Highlight Lack of Women in Political Arena

NEW YORK - The sexting scandal that forced New York Rep. Anthony Weiner from Congress last week capped a remarkable season of dishonor for male politicians - from former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards' indictment on federal campaign finance charges related to hiding a mistress to former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's admission he'd fathered a child with the family maid. For advocates of women in politics, such sexual shenanigans raise two questions: Why don't women lawmakers fall prey to such temptation? And if more women were elected to office, would political sex scandals disappear?

• 'Great Commoner' Delivered Rousing St. Pat's Address

Back in 1899, one of the greatest orators in American history used a St. Patrick's Day eve address from downtown Bloomington to thunder against the injustices and rising militarism of his own country. Born in 1860, William Jennings Bryan spent his formative years in Illinois before striking out for Nebraska and political and oratorical fame, first as a U.S. congressman and then three-time Democratic presidential candidate. "The Great Commoner" was a fiery prairie populist (before that term become a cliche) who embraced the redistribution of wealth and wholesale government intervention in the economy. Yet paradoxically (at least for our time), he was also a social conservative who found solace in Jesus rather than Jefferson or Marx, and professed a belief in the literal interpretation of...

The poster said: The Obamas know their HIV status. Do you know yours? The senator and his wife had volunteered to be tested while in Nairobi.
