Jordan, a decent-enough golfer who's had a touch more success in other fields, announced Wednesday that he won't be accompanying the U.S. team to Australia to play in the biennial competition. Jordan had served as one of Fred Couples ' assistants during the team's victorious 2009 effort, motivating the troops and providing some complementary star power to Tiger Woods , who was still weeks away from the hydrant and everything after.

The Value Voters Summit: showcased GOP candidate Mitt Romney's wise decision making: I promise more food stamps for married people and I promise to make baby daddies marry their baby mommas. Notice no promise of economic parity between the classes. No plan to create jobs, just more incentive to marry by offering increased food stamp amounts. Seriously? In a campaign speech, he says this? It's a good policy if the plan is paid for but to say it in a campaign speech seems odd and poorly thought out. He's not ready yet. Go Obama 2012! You have no contenders! Are you our smartest president ever or what?!

yahoo contributor network buried this story all the way in the back of some blog and called it "old news" in the web address. i guess if it has nothing to do with the majority it is of little interest to them. whatever. Amplify’d from old.news.yahoo.com COMMENTARY | The Congressional Black Caucus awards dinner address by President Barack Obama last weekend has been a long time coming. President Obama told us all throughout the 2008 presidential campaign election that he was tough but many didn't understand how tough. We don't have any guidance on the issue of what can happen during the term of the nation's first black president. As an Obama supporter, I had grand ideas and definitions to frame the first black presidency. However, I was just glad I did not have to explain to my then-9-year-old son why a black man had never been president. Internationally, people realized Obama is the American president and our needs in this country are his first priority. Some di

CA college bake sale a teachable moment http://amplify.com/u/a1dl2s

This weekend on TJ Holmes' CNN show, there was an interesting segment on a young man, a college group and a college bake sale. It wasn't that baked goods are fattening but the price list for said baked goods. White men pay $2 for a cookie as opposed to a Native American woman who would pay nothing. Ask a NA woman the last time she got anything of value that she wanted for free. Right. I guess the point is white men have to pay for every other minority including women, are at the top of the pecking order or are better than everyone else, deserve to not have to consider anyone other than themselves, etc. The bake sale price list says lots of things this young man is in agreement with and he doesn't even know it. That is just how young he is. Look at what this doe-eyed little guy is admitting. It's would be almost sweet if it wasn't so painfully wrong. Instead of getting on the college student for verbalizing a long standing notion, why don't we teach several valu

Everybody has to pay their fair share http://amplify.com/u/a1d5fs

Today the President spoke on the American Jobs Act and for how it will be financed. It will will be a balance of restructuring social programs, the tax code and rescinding temporary tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and wealthiest American companies because they don't need them anymore. The GOP is fussy about the tax breaks because they want the wealthiest to continue to get them. The President said it s time to live within our means without starving the poorest Americans in the process. Amplify’d from www.whitehouse.gov A week ago today, I sent Congress the American Jobs Act.  It’s a plan that will lead to new jobs for teachers, for construction workers, for veterans, and for the unemployed.  It will cut taxes for every small business owner and virtually every working man and woman in America.  And the proposals in this jobs bill are the kinds that have been supported by Democrats and Republicans in the past.  So there shouldn’t be any reason for Congress to drag its feet. 

Reexamining relationships http://amplify.com/u/a1d2jv

Often as the seasons begin to change, people do as well. They begin to reexamine relationships. One word of caution: Do not bother to reexamine your relationship unless you are willing to (A) include your own self-assessment in your examination and find out what you want and (B) willing to stand by your decisions. Do not be the person who digs up his or her yard to install a pool before calling the pool company. Do not put the cart before the horse or you will end up backing down and apologizing and doubting yourself. Know thyself first before examining anyone or anything else. You may have changed over time.

Amplify’d from www.reuters.com European finance ministers have been warned confidentially of the danger of a renewed credit crunch as a "systemic" crisis in euro zone sovereign debt spills over to banks, according to documents obtained by Reuters on Wednesday. In a report prepared for ministers meeting in Poland on Friday and Saturday, senior EU officials said the 17-nation currency area faces a "risk of a vicious circle between sovereign debt, bank funding and negative growth." "While tensions in sovereign debt markets have intensified and bank funding risks have increased over the summer, contagion has spread across markets and countries and the crisis has become systemic," the influential Economic and Financial Committee said. The report highlighted European policymakers' challenge to restore confidence as the leaders of Germany,

The U.S. Census Bureau says about 30 percent of adults live in a "doubled-up" household because they have lost their home or job and can't make it on their own. Young adults have been affected the most, the Census Bureau said. Amplify’d from blogs.census.gov Young adults were especially hard-hit, with 5.9 million people ages 25 to 34 living in their parents’ household in 2011, up from 4.7 million before the recession. That left 14.2 percent of young adults living in their parents’ households in March 2011, up more than two percentage points over the period. All in all, 61.7 million adults, or 27.7 percent, were doubled-up in 2007, rising to 69.2 million, or 30.0 percent, in 2011. These young adults who lived with their parents had an official poverty rate of only 8.4 percent, since the income of their entire family is compared with the poverty threshold. If their poverty status were determined by their own income, 45.3 percent would have had income falling below the pover

A US Census report Tuesday more citizens are poor now. The report states that current welfare regulations aren't helpful to the newly poor. Amplify’d from www.msnbc.msn.com “Clearly the safety net has helped, but it’s got holes in it,” said Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and former White House economist. With the unemployment rate stuck stubbornly over 9 percent, the poverty rate in the United States climbed to 15.1 percent last year — the highest level since 1993 — as the number of impoverished Americans swelled to a record 46.2 million, the Census report said. The rate would be even higher without a variety of government programs intended to blunt the impact of the worst recession since the 1930s. The Census estimated that the extension of unemployment benefits enacted in 2009, for example, helped another 3.2 million remain above the poverty line, which the government defines as an annual income of $22,314 for a family of four.

Using the slower-rising index is being billed by many including President Barack Obama's fiscal responsibility commission and the Bipartisan Policy Center -- as a way to generate much-needed savings to help deal with the country's mounting debt crisis. In fact, the savings could amount to an estimated $112 billion over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. 'This is a start in helping us fix Social Security,' says David John, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation. But critics say the new proposal only makes a bad system worse.
