#NewMusic: Goodie Mob “Is That You God”

There are things good and bad that take place in our lives and we have no control over them. Idk about you but I was taught not to question God. At the same time, the (wo)man upstairs is so big and the happenings of this world are so mysterious, you just might get caught asking, “God, is that you?”

Thank God for the Goodie Mob! They just released this soulful and insightful record, which is one of the tracks from the highly anticipated film, ‘The Obama Effect,’ which is set to release July 13th.

[WATCH] Obama Officially Supports Same-Sex Marriages, Relationships

President Obama has made it very clear in a recent interview that he is in support of same-sex marriages, something that he once opposed. This recent change of heart was attributed to his forward-thinking views, which have very much so “evolved.”

More interesting is the fact that his Republican challenger has made it clear that he doesn’t support this large base of constituents. “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman,” he said while campaigning in Oklahoma.

President Obama will definitely get a lot of support for this announcement as well as much expected hate from the opposing party. Does this increase the chances of Obama getting re-elected? Where do you stand?

[WATCH] Obama Slow Jams The News: Too Fast?

Barack Obama makes the job of President seem too easy sometimes. His charismatic, swagged out approach to politics is part of the reason why there are a lot of young people tuning in and staying tuned. However, as a country, we are facing some of the most depressing economic times in history and when our Commander-in-Chief is seen on Jimmy Fallon making light of news that’s pretty damn serious to his constituency, I have to ask, “how does that make you feel?”

Some think it might be a lil too soon to be having fun with the news when your job is on the line as well as many other Americans. Personally, I loved this remix of the news because the news is actually really old. At the very least, we know we’re getting murdered fiscally and economically at the local and national level. I don’t wanna keep hearing that. At the same time if there’s going to be a remix of the news, I’d prefer it be Diddy…but I can digest it with the President. What do you think?

Satirical news analyst Jon Stewart had this to say: “You don’t have to do this shit anymore.”

Wisconsin Primaries

Tuesday was an election day in Wisconsin and the crew at the Milwaukee League of Young Voters Education Fund were getting people out to vote all day. Starting at 8:30 a.m., volunteers started arriving. People were making calls, organizing maps, and breaking into teams to canvass the neighborhood by 9:00 a.m.

As I started volunteering to make phone calls reminding people to vote, I discovered that most people did not know that the Scott Walker Voter ID Law was suspended just in time for the primary. I also discovered that people didn’t know they could vote for presidential candidates from both parties in the primaries.

As I looked around the League office, I realized the room was full of young male and female volunteers. The room represented a contrast to the popular concept that young people are not engaging in politics. Not only were they personally engaging in politics, but they were organizing to engage and inform others. Like other primaries, voter turnout throughout the day was low, however, the Wisconsin primary was important because Wisconsin is a swing state.
