Deval Patrick’s Bumpy Road

Now, he has taking a serious hit, only 43% approve of the job he is doing, [...]
A Few Things On My Mind
A few things on my mind… first, Obama is still establishing himself as a fresh alternative to Hillary, while trying to be more than what some would say is a fad. I look at it more like a reality that America hasn’t accepted yet. In some ways maybe it won’t ever [...]
