Court: No
Review of
Obama's
Eligibility to
Serve
Pesident-Elect Obama
By: Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The
Supreme Court has turned
down an emergency appeal
from a New Jersey man who
says President-elect Barack
Obama is ineligible to be pres-
ident because he was a British
subject at birth. The court did
not comment on its order
Monday rejecting the call by
Leo Donofrio of East
Brunswick, N.J., to intervene
in the presidential election.
Donofrio says that since
Obama had dual nationality at
birth - his mother was
American and his Kenyan
father at the time was a British
subject - he cannot possibly be
a "natural born citizen," one of
the requirements the
Constitution lists for eligibility
to be president.
Donofrio also contends that
two other candidates,
Republican John McCain and
Socialist Workers candidate
Roger Calero, also are not nat-
ural-born citizens and thus
ineligible to be president.
At least one other appeal over
Obama's citizenship remains
at the court. Philip J. Berg of
Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that
Obama was born in Kenya,
not Hawaii as Obama says
and Hawaii officials have con-
firmed.
Berg says Obama also may be
a citizen of Indonesia, where
he lived as a boy. Federal
courts in Pennsylvania have
dismissed Berg's lawsuit.
Federal courts in Ohio and
Washington state have reject-
ed similar lawsuits.
Allegations raised on the
Internet say the birth certifi-
cate, showing that Obama was
born in Hawaii on Aug. 4,
1961, is a fake.
But Hawaii Health
Department Director Dr.
Chiyome Fukino and the
state's registrar of vital statis-
tics, Alvin Onaka, say they
checked health department
records and have determined
there's no doubt Obama was
born in Hawaii.

Losing Seat May
Also Have Cost
Jefferson His
Bargaining Chip
By: Kevin McGill, Associated
Press
NEW ORLEANS - Indicted
U.S. Rep. William Jefferson's
election loss may have cost
him more than just his con-
gressional seat.
Jefferson, a Louisiana
Democrat who likely faces a
trial next year on bribery and
money laundering charges,
can no longer offer his resigna-
tion as part of a plea deal with
prosecutors. Jefferson has
pleaded not guilty in the case,
which started in 2005 when
federal agents found $90,000
in alleged bribe money stashed
Rep. William Jefferson
in the freezer of his
Washington home.
That led to last year's indict-
ment on charges that he took
bribes, laundered money and
misused his congressional
office for business dealings in
Africa. Jefferson has promised
there is an "honorable explana-
tion" for the money in the
freezer, although he has yet to
make it public. His campaign
did not return a call for com-
ment Monday.
He lost Saturday's hurricane-
delayed election to Republican
Anh "Joseph" Cao, who will
become the first Vietnamese-
American in Congress.
Jefferson faces up to 235 years
in prison if convicted on all
charges.
"That was a huge bargaining
chip: 'I'll plead, I'll resign.'"
said Ed Chervenak, political
science professor at the
University of New Orleans.
The loss also could also lessen
the nine-term congressman's
ability to get a deal for mem-
bers of his family who face
charges in separate cases,
Chervenak said.
"I'll resign, don't indict my
family? That's gone now," he
said.
While the congressman was
indicted in Virginia, his broth-

Jesse Jackson: African-Americans Not
Exempt from International Terrorism
By. Hazel Trice Edney
NNPA Editor-in-Chief
LONDON (NNPA) – In
the wake of the terrorist
killings of nearly 300 peo-
ple at the Taj Mahal Hotel
in Mumbai, India early this
month, Black leaders are
pressing for more informa-
tion and cautioning
African-Americans to be
clear that they are not
exempt as targets at home
or abroad.
“Terrorism must not be
seen in Black-White terms.
There is no safe haven for
Blacks when terror
strikes,” says the Rev. Jesse
Jackson during an NNPA
interview as he toured
London, Birmingham and
Liverpool this week. “For
example, Al-Qaida struck
Kenya before it struck
New York…When the ter-
ror attacks hit New York,
there were no reserve spots
for Blacks. It’s deeply ideo-
logical.”
Early news reports said the
attackers were trained in
Pakistan and appeared to
be seeking to kill
Americans, British and
Israelis.
Outgoing Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice,
also in London on
Monday, called on full
Pakistani cooperation with
the investigation. Headed
to India, she urged its gov-
ernment to focus on the
investigation of the
attacks, and to avoid troop
maneuvers or other actions
that could cause “unintend-
ed consequences,” accord-
ing to the news website
Guardian.Co.UK.
Jackson is in the UK on a
whirlwind tour of Black
churches, community cen-
ters and universities, lec-
turing and sermonizing on
his economic justice pro-
gram, called
“Equanomics”. Blacks in
the United Kingdom,
which include Black peo-
ple as well as Indians, are
often victims of unequal
justice economically and
socially. Just as Jackson
has worked to inspire
African-Americans to rise
up and fight for equality
through his Chicago-based
Rainbow/PUSH Coalition
in America, his
Equanomics program in
the UK is spreading hope
among thousands.
But, terrorism has added
another level of injustice
regardless of race.
Among his UK meetings
on Sunday, Jackson con-
ferred privately with Shiv
MuKherjee, the Indian
High Commissioner to the
United Kingdom.
Speaking briefly to
reporters, including the
NNPA News Service,
which was covering
Jackson on the tour,
MuKherjee referred to the
HIV/AIDS Rates
Increase in Latino
Communities
By Glenn Townes
Special to the AmNews
Second only
African Americans, Latinos
are the second most-affected
community to suffer the devas-
tating effects of HIV/AIDS,
according to a report released
this summer by the Latino
Commission on AIDS. The
New York-based advocacy
group estimates that more
than 200,000 Latino individu-
als have been diagnosed with
HIV/AIDS.
“HIV/AIDS in the
Latino communities has
reached a crisis level,” said
Dennis de Leon, president of
the Latino Commission on
AIDS. “Latinos now consti-
tute 22 percent of hte
HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed
in 2006. De Leon siad lack of
access to care, lack of funding,
ignorance, stigmatizaton and
denial all play a major role in
the rapid spread
HIV/AIDS in the Latino
community. Latinos currently
represent about 15 percent of
the total population of the
U.S. and its territories.
“The prevention and
access to care needs of Latinos
are complex and diverse,” he
said. “We need leadership in
this fight and hope the next
president of the U.S. will take
actions in formulating a robust
domestic AIDS agenda,” he
said. De Leon made his com-
ments in late July, just prior to
the opening of the
International AIDS
Conference in Mexico City.

We Are Asking Schools To Do
What Schools Cannot Do!
Contributed by Phillip Jackson, Executive Director of the
Black Star Project in Chicago
Schools cannot eliminate the racial academic achievement
gap because schools do not create the gap.This gap must
be eliminated at the source--at home, in the family and in
the community. However, schools can and do aggravate
the gap. Studies show that this gap comes to the school
with the child from thehome, family and community.
The gap, which is well established before kindergarten,
widens during the first three years of schooling. And from
thirdgrade through high school graduation, the academic
achievement gap between white and black students is rela-
tivelysteady.According to recent statistics from the
National Assessment of Educational Progress, the average
12th grade blackstudent has the reading and math scores of
the average 8th grade white student.
Schools and teachers in America usually do a good job.
They have made the American educational system, gener-
ally,competitive with other international education sys-
tems, as shown by the "Progress in International Reading
Literacy Study."This study also shows, however, that most
black and Latino students in American schools get an edu-
cation similar to thatof students in third world, underde-
veloped countries. Good teachers and administrators are
critical to the educational process, but they are not miracle
workers.Very few teachers can compensate for years, and
sometimes decades, of educational deficiencies in homes,
families and communities.
Education, like wealth, is generational. It is something
that is accumulated and enhanced by one generation and
passed on to the next generation. There is an intrinsic rela-
tionship between the education and learning of parents,
the education and learning levels of communities, and the
education and learning of students.
In a real sense, schools do not educate children; they sim-
ply reinforce and expand what children already know when
they come to school. Parents, families, communities, soci-
etal structures, value systems, peer groups, networks, cul-
tures and institutions educate children.
Good schools seldom create good communities; but good
communities usually create good schools. In many of the
best schools in the country, principals are almost inter-
changeable. Teachers are usually in a child's life for one or
two years. Without involved, invested and engaged par-
ents, supportive families and effective community institu-
tions and structures, even the best schools will struggle to
educate children.
For schools to succeed, they must have students with basic
skills who want to learn; parents who are active, engaged
and involved in their child's life; and teachers and adminis-
trators who are skilled and passionate about their profes-
sion.
For decades, we have been asking schools to do what
schools cannot do! We are asking schools to substitute for
broken family structures and decimated communities; to
give moral and spiritual values to children; to teach chil-
dren discipline and self-control; to teach children to want
to learn and to inspire them to succeed; and to teach chil-
dren to make positive and proper life choices.
Schools do not do any of these things well. Schools are
best when they are responsible for teaching reading and
math,history and science, not discipline and self-control,
and notions of right and wrong. And because schools
spend so much time trying to teach things that they cannot
teach, many times they fail at teaching the things that they
ought to be teaching.
Parents must be the first, best and most important teach-
ers for their children. Government and schools also have
important responsibilities for educating children; howev-
er, they have failed miserably at one of their most impor-
tantresponsibilities: Getting parents involved in the edu-
cational lives of their children.
Effective parents, families and communities can do what
no school can do - create the structure, lay the foundation,
setthe trajectory and start the momentum for learning and
educational success for all children in the every communi-
ty.

''We are in a
Recession.''
By. James Clingman
NNPA Columnist
Blackonomics
Thanks, Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke, for letting us
know. Whew! If it weren’t for you we probably never
would have found out about this.
Thanks, guys! We almost missed this one; we never even
saw it coming. It sure is a good thing to have the two of
you in Washington watching our backs.
With your combined Wall Street experience, your financial
acumen, your Ph.D.’s from MIT, and all of your knowl-
edge of economics, you have guided us along this treacher-
ous economic path, protecting us and calling out the pit-
falls everyday, and we certainly thank you for your assis-
tance. What would we do without leaders like you?
How are things going for you and your families? We trust
everything is fine. We know you have tucked a little some-
thing away for the dark days ahead. We are sure your mort-
gages will be paid, you will have plenty of food to eat, and
your children and grandchildren will be all right as they
“struggle” through this economic crisis. Don’t worry.
Things will be tough, but keep your heads up; you’ll get
by.
And what about your friends and associates? How are they
faring? We know they may miss out on their bonuses this
year and will not be able to purchase all those cars, jewel-
ry, condos, and summer homes they were planning to
obtain. But, not to worry; with the two of you still at the
helm, even though the ship is going down, they can be con-
fident that you have at least a couple more tricks up your
sleeves. How did Ben put it? “We have a few more cards
to play,” or “we have not used all the tools in our toolbox
yet.” Man, are we happy to hear that good news.
While we don’t understand all those nouveau finance terms
like “collateralized debt obligations,” and “credit default
swaps,” we are confident that with all of your knowledge of
banking, credit, and the stock market, you will continue to
protect us from the horrors of a Wall Street collapse.
After all, aren’t a lot of your friends working there?
Even though we are struggling to pay our bills, rents, and
mortgages, trying to avoid the increased credit card fees
levied by the banks, and give our children a gift or two for
Christmas; even though we are working hard to put food
on our tables and hold on to our jobs; and even though
many of us have already been laid off; we are comforted
just knowing that you have our best interests at heart.
You know, we were well aware of this recession months
ago, at least in our households and in our communities, so
pardon our sarcasm at the beginning of this note. But we
understand that until it hits the upper echelon of our soci-
ety it’s really not a true recession. After all, the economic
condition of Black and poor people is not nearly as impor-
tant as that of the Wall Streeters, the CEO’s, the Bankers,
the politicians, and all the rest who keep this country run-
ning so smoothly.
Not trying to take anything away from your expertise or
knowledge of financial matters, but sometimes grassroots
people just know certain things. Some call it intuition; we
call it “mother wit.” As we began to see gas exceed $4.00
per gallon and our food costs rise to a point where we had
to return to the good old days of pinto beans and corn-
bread for an entire week, we knew we were in for a rough
ride.
But now, just when we thought we had reached the bot-
tom, the worst has happened; there can now be no doubt
about our terrible situation. With all due respect to your
prognostications and recent announcement on the reces-
sion, Mickey D’s has raised the price of a double cheese-
burger from $1.00 to $1.19!
They even took one slice of cheese, which cost them 6
cents, off our favorite sandwich, and now call it the
McDouble. That’s it; ball game over. Time to start look-
ing for a window to jump out of; now we really know how
bad things are.
Sorry for boring you with our problems; you have more
important things to consider. We just wanted to say how
much we appreciate you, Ben and “Hank,” for all you have
done to us – er, I meant to say, “for us;” and let us not for-
get about your predecessors, John Snow and Alan
Greenspan.
We owe a debt of gratitude to all you guys for the work you
have done.
As we look across this country and see millions of people
sinking further into debt they cannot handle, we can thank
the politicians who passed the bankruptcy bill that makes
it even more difficult for individuals to file, despite being
forced to because of medical catastrophes and the like. We
can thank the greedy CEO’s with their cavalier attitudes
toward our plight, as they continue to take home their mil-
lions in salaries and bonuses.
We can thank the bankers and financiers who have already
received billions of dollars, some of which went to parties,
vacations, and to purchase other banks.
We thank you, Ben, for your ability to create money “out of
thin air” as they say. And we thank you, “Hank,” for get-
ting Congress to give you sole control of $700 billion to
dole out to whomever you choose. You guys are so smart!
Reflecting on all that has happened in the past few
months, we know that with all your credentials and all of
your compassion for us, just as you have given the corpora-
tions their welfare checks, we know you will get around to
us soon. Keep up the good work, guys.
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where
ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to
feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress,
rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will
be safe.

Who
Asked
Me?
by Beverly Gadson-Birch
AFTER THANKSGIVING REFLECTIONS
Well, we made it through the election and Thanksgiving
. And would you believe I actually had some food left as well as
some ‘luminum foil. Can y’all believe that? This is the first time
that I had enough foil for everyone. Generally I run out of
‘luminum foil, waxed paper, plastic wrap and even plastic bags,
brown bags and napkins. Yes, when all else fails, they will take
four or five napkins and cover their take home plates. I tell you this
must be the first time they didn’t have to walk out of the door with
grease stained napkins covering their food. I don’t mind folks tak-
ing leftovers home; but here’s where I draw the line. You can’t
bring your own foil, plastic bags or box to cart off enough food to
feed your family or take lunch to work for the week. Don’t y’all
think that is a little presumptuous? While I was thanking God
for the harvest and His many blessings, I am sure my guests were
thanking him for the abundance of ‘luminum foil. I was sure glad
they did not announce the Recession until before now. Lord
knows had they made that announcement sooner, those rascals
would have raided my freezer and pantry before leaving.
Why is it that every Thanksgiving we promise not to pig
out but we never adjust our menu? We prepare the collards with
pig feet, pig tail and neckbones. Y’all know I am telling the truth.
Now, I didn’t cook any collards but sistah girl did. It doesn’t get
any better. That’s the first time I have seen a pot of collards that
had more meat than collards. Now, don’t y’all go back and tell sis-
tah I told y’all dat been some tongue biting, finger licking collards.
I am just like many of you, I don’t eat pork. Well, as long as the
pork doesn’t sneak on my plate. And y’all got to admit, you just
can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without the macaroni & cheese
casserole, candied yams and sweet potato pies.
Thanksgiving!! it’s a good time for family, friends foot-
ball. Many of us welcome the four day weekend and early bird
sales. Thank goodness Thanksgiving only comes once a year. As
I mature, it becomes increasingly difficult for me to be selective on
special occasions. It’s funny how we can stick to our diets for 357
days and on July 4, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we just lose it.
So, enough said. I will talk more with y’all when I run into you at
the health food store.
Every holiday brings with it some sadness. There were
several tragic auto accidents. There are three victims here--the
driver of the car, who will no doubt lose her driving privileges and
her freedom, the bicyclist who lost his life and the families who are
left behind to grieve. The driver had several driving under sus-
pension to her credit. She panicked and left the scene. She told
the officers she was driving her roommate’s car. I hate to be in her
roommate’s shoes. That should teach us a very valuable lesson—
stop loaning out your car. You assume a great risk every time you
do so. Parents, be sure to share this story with your teenage driv-
ers. You buy them a car and what do they do, loan it out. I am sure
you have had the very same encounter with your teenage that I had
with mine when you handed over the keys to them for the first
time. When I handed over the keys I said, “I bought this car for
your convenience and for me to get some rest from having to drive
you everywhere; it is not for you to loan out or haul folks around.”
Then I said, “do I make myself clear”? Another fatal accident
occurred on the James Island Connector where the driver was
driving in the wrong lane. And a Charleston County nurse was
killed in Beaufort County in what officials there called it one of the
worst accidents there. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the fam-
ilies.
Now, I wish to share a story about the joys of
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time for families. It’s time for
Debbie’s Kids donations and the Salvation Army. I am beginning
to see how President- Elect Obama’s message is bringing about
change in one of my family members. If you will recall, President
Elect Obama said government can’t do it all. He said we need to
turn the televisions off and work with our children. We need to
make sure they are doing their homework and we need to know
where they are at nights. He said as men we need to be fathers to
our children. I am very happy that my nephew beat the odds and
kicked his drug dependency. My nephew lives on the west coast
with his new wife. With the Instability of the housing and job
markets, he found his hours being cut on his job but that did not
keep him from coming home to see about his son. And, what he
did next brought tears to my eyes. My nephew had to hit rock bot-
tom before he pulled himself together. He was ashamed of his
drug involvement because he came from a good Christian home.
He is partly responsible for my sister’s grey hairs. Old folks used
to say, you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water but let me
tell you my sister was tempted on more than one occasion to throw
the baby out, the water and the tub. Well, thank goodness our eld-
ers had faith in us. That’s what we have to do for our children. We
need to have faith in them. We need to listen and encourage them
to be all that they can be. We need to return to our role as parents.
My challenge today to the absentee fathers and mothers
is to come home and get your children and be the parents that you
were meant to be. Come home and get your children. It is time to
give grandparents a rest. Come home and get your children off
the streets. If you can save just one from the streets, think of the
ripple down affect.
Our time has come. Are you ready to meet the challenge? Yes,
you are!!
Sitting at the table doesn't make you a
diner, unless you eat some of what's on
that plate. Being here in America doesn't
make you an American. Being born here
in America doesn't make you an
American.
