Sen. Clinton is campaigning on behalf of the Obama Biden ticket this weekend in Ohio. Hillary will be making appearances in Akron and Elyria. Click here for more details.

Many of us in Texas hope that Hillary can make it back to Texas to work on areas that went heavily for her in the primary including the Rio Grande Valley/South Texas and El Paso areas. It is doubtful since we are not a battleground.

(AP Photo/Mike Carlson) Well, it looks like Barack Obama is joining the other Negro Leaders and does not support reparations for black folks. According to Christopher Wills at the The Huffington Post, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposes offering reparations to the descendants of slaves, putting him at odds with some black groups and leaders.

AAPP: I'm really disappointed with his position on this. "Obama 'does not get it' on this issue." Yes, Black Americans like all Americans deserve good schools and jobs for people who are unemployed. That has nothing to do with reparations, that has to do with being an American. It seems that Barack has it twisted, the U.S. government should combat the legacy of slavery by improving schools, health care and the economy for all, but it should also provide reparations above and beyond what it should do for "all Americans."
