  • Obama and the Black Political Establishment
    “YOU MAY NOT GET THERE WITH ME …” 1 OBAMA & THE BLACK POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT KAREEM U. CRAYTON Page | 1 One of the earliest controversies involving the now historic presidential campaign of Barack Obama was largely an unavoidable one. The issue beyond his control, to paraphrase his later comment on the subject, was largely woven into his DNA.2 Amidst the excitement about electing an African-American candidate to the presidency, columnist Debra Dickerson argued that this fervor might be somewhat misplaced. Despite his many appealing qualities, Dickerson asserted, Obama was not “black” in the conventional sense that many of his supporters understood him to be. While Obama frequently “invokes slavery and Jim Crow, he does so as one who stands outside, one who emotes but still merely informs.”3 Controversial as it was, Dickerson’s observation was not without at least some factual basis. Biologically speaking, for example, Obama was not part of an African- American family – at least in the traditional sense. The central theme of his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention was that only a place like America would have allowed his Kenyan father to meet and marry his white American mother during the 1960s.4 While 1 Special thanks to Vincent Brown, who very aptly suggested the title for this article in the midst of a discussion about the role of race and politics in this election. Also I am grateful to Meta Jones for her helpful comments and suggestions. 2 See Senator Barack Obama, Remarks in Response to Recent Statements b y Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

    Debt Transparency Initiative (Passed House 70-40-0; Passed Senate 37-16-0) House Bill 3649 (Rep. Fred Crespo - Stephanie A. Kifowit - Marcus C. Evans, Jr. - Brandon W.

Wallace and Elizabeth Hernandez) Senate Bill 1652 (Sen. Andy Manar - Pat McGuire - Iris Y. Martinez - Melinda Bush - Don Harmon, Laura M. Murphy, Omar Aquino, Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, Linda Holmes and Steve Stadelman) Purpose The state’s unprecedented fiscal challenges require a full weighing of outstanding vouchers and the ramifications of the $12 billion-plus unpaid bill backlog. House Bill 3649/Senate Bill 1652 seeks to provide a more accurate accounting of bills being held by each state agency and the late interest penalties the state is accruing. Background: After appropriations are made and services are provided, each state agency sends bills to the Comptroller for payment. However, if vouchers for payment are held at the agency level due to a lack of appropriation or processing delays, these liabilities remain largely hidden from the Comptroller. The state’s Prompt Payment Act, which assigns a 1% per month penalty to bills that are 90 days past due, applies to a currently unknown number of the bills being held by the agencies.
