  • Hispanos Piden Votar Para Frenar a Trump Y Deportaciones,Obama
    Hispanos piden votar para frenar a Trump y deportaciones FILADELFIA (AP) — Congresistas y activistas hispanos hicieron el miércoles un llamado desde la Convención Demócrata a los latinos para que salgan a votar y logren así mayor poder para frenar al candidato republicano Donald Trump y las deportaciones, que algunos tildaron como la “mancha” que quedará siempre en el legado del presidente Barack Obama. (Matthew Busch / Getty Images) “Desafortunadamente hemos visto bajo su administración más deportaciones que en las de previos presidentes combinados”, dijo Janet Murguía, presidenta del Consejo Nacional de La Raza, después de un foro nacional de activistas en Filadefia, donde se celebra estos días la Convención. “Así que veremos qué dicen los historiadores, pero para nosotros, en el mejor de los casos, la presidencia de Obama tuvo aspectos positivos y negativos, y en el peor de los casos, el histórico nivel de deportaciones quedará, a nuestros ojos, como una mancha en su legado para siempre”, dijo Murguía, una destacada activista en la comunidad hispana. Obama presenta respuesta a ‘revolución’ de ciberamenazas WASHINGTON (AP) — La Casa Blanca advirtió el martes sobre una “revolución” de ciberamenazas a Estados Unidos atizadas por una creciente agresión cibernética de parte de los habituales enemigos del país, como Rusia y Corea del Norte, y presentó un plan de respuesta codificado en colores que el gobierno federal usará después de ciberataques. Lisa Monaco, la asesora del presidente Barack Obama en temas de seguridad nacional y medidas antiterroristas, dijo que mientras Rusia y China se tornan “más fuertes y sofisticados” en internet, Irán ha atacado los bancos de Estados Unidos y Corea del Norte tiene la tendencia de atacar a compañías y países por igual.

The Obamas are the first First Family of African descent.

She is a lawyer and was a University of Chicago Hospital vice-president. She is the First Lady of the United States. Malia Obama and Sasha Obama Barack and Michelle Obama have two daughters: Malia Ann /məˈliːə/, born on July 4, 1998,[7] and Natasha (known as Sasha /ˈsɑːʃə/), born on June 10, 2001.[8] They were both delivered by their parents' friend Dr. Anita Blanchard at University of Chicago Medical Center.[9] Sasha is the youngest child to reside in the White House since John F. Kennedy, Jr. arrived as an infant in 1961.[10] Before his inauguration, President Obama published an open letter to his daughters in Parade magazine, describing what he wants for them and every child in America: "to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world."[11] While living in Chicago, the Obamas kept busy schedules, as the Associated Press reports: "soccer, dance and drama for Malia, gymnastics and tap for Sasha, piano and tennis for both."[12][13] In July 2008, the family gave an interview to the television series Access Hollywood.

Luke David Mechem There is (Not) a Black President: A Psychodynamic Exploration of Doubts about Obama’s Citizenship in a Post-Racial America ABSTRACT Using the psychodynamic concepts of projection and paranoia, this paper examines the phenomenon of challenges to Barack Obama’s American citizenship. Through analysis of various acts of media and political discourse, the birthers’ claim that Obama is not a citizen—and can thus not be president—is situated within the larger context of the current ideological position of ‘color- blind’ racism and of America as ‘post-racial.’ Further links are made with sociopolitical conspiracy theory as well as with historical Nativist and populist movements. Through this exploration, the paper suggests that the significance of Obama’s presidency and the intensity of the anxiety that it has produced are predicated upon an understanding of America as a white nation.

  • Barack Obama's Racial Politics in Context
    1 Obama’s Racial Politics in Context Neither Black Nationalism nor Deracialization: Barack Obama’s Racial Politics in Context1 Richard Johnson Department of Politics, Philosophy, & Religion, Lancaster University, United Kingdom [email protected], +44 (0) 1524 592 308 2 Abstract Many commentators have described Barack Obama as a ‘deracialized’ politician. In contrast to ‘racialized’ Black candidates, deracialized politicians are said to deemphasise their Black racial identity, downplay the racial legacies of American inequality, and favour race-neutral over racially targeted policies. Puzzlingly, this narrative of Obama’s racial politics sits incongruously with his political curriculum vitae, spent largely in contexts which are difficult to describe as deracialized. This article holds that commentators have misjudged Barack Obama’s racial politics by conflating a contingent electoral strategy with a deeper expression of Obama’s racial philosophical commitments. In explaining these commitments, the article finds the deracialized/racialized framing inadequate. Instead, it favours the typology of racial policy alliances situating Obama within the ‘race-conscious’ policy alliance rather than the ‘color-blind’ alliance. By returning to the site of Obama’s political development, Hyde Park in Chicago, the paper uncovers a tradition of racial politics in which Blacks formed coalitions with progressive Whites but also embraced Black racial identity, acknowledged the enduring legacies of slavery and Jim Crow, and supported targeted policies to overturn these racial legacies. The article argues that Obama was an inheritor of this tradition. Key words: Black nationalism, deracialization, racial policy alliances, Barack Obama, racial coalitions, racialization, racial identity 3 INTRODUCTION Many commentators heralded the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama as the triumph of a post- racial politics pursued by a deracialized African American politician (Ifill, 2009; Clayton, 2010; Caesar et al., 2011; Carter &Dowe, 2015).
