WHAT’S YOUR AGENDA?
When it comes to looking out for the economic interest of Black Americans do you think that the Obama administration is doing too much, too little or the right amount?
In the upcoming months, someone is going to tap you to 1) make a donation, 2) volunteer, and or 3) vote for people and platforms that best represent you and your views. Don’t let the past be prologue in this instance, in that history influences and sets the context for the future. This time around why don’t we demand that all candidates present a “Black Agenda” with specific ways to improve the lives of Blacks in America to get our 2012 vote?

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel accused Syria Monday of orchestrating lethal confrontations on the once-quiet cease-fire line between the two countries as a distraction from Damascus's bloody crackdown on an 11-week-old revolt.
Syria said 23 people, including a woman and a child, were killed and 350 wounded Sunday when Israeli troops fired on pro-Palestinian protestors who surged against the fortified boundary fence on Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Late Yobo header salvages point for Nigeria, Posted by Meosha Eaton
By Aaron Maasho
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - A late Joseph Yobo header allowed Nigeria to salvage a 2-2 draw with minnows Ethiopia on Sunday, a result could cost them a place in the next African Nations Cup finals.
Nigeria arrived in Addis Ababa on the back of a 4-1 win against Argentina in a friendly international last week, though that result is being investigated by FIFA on suspicion of match-fixing, and looked odds-on for another victory after taking the lead mid-way through the first half from Ike Uche.
