We are going to visit with NCRC, the Congressional Black Caucus and our state delegation in Washington DC. Any one in DC this week from out of town for a briefing on the Community Reinvestment Act and the financial crisis contact us. Goto ncrc.org for more information.
After the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC.org) call today I wonder? Where is our candidate? Senator Clinton was mentioned, yet no platform statement that deals with a national emergency from Senator Obama or McCain. Our candidate like McCain is one of 100 Americans who can solve this problem in the Senate.
We Hope He Can Change the system so that a trillion dollar deal becomes law based on legislation influenced by NCRC and its members who have a cumulative experience based of of over 20,000 years in community reinvestment.
Thanks to Conner Stribe [CincinnatiObama2008@groups.barackobama.com] for posting the contact information to check and discover your registration status in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Barack Obama is back on American soil after a whirlwind trip abroad - and despite the adulation he met in the Mideast and Europe, he suspects his summer travels might have hurt him at home.
Hours before boarding his flight back to Chicago yesterday, Obama told re porters in London he wouldn't be surprised by a dip in his poll numbers in coming days.
"People are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures," he said. "We have been gone for a week."
A national Fox News poll released Tuesday as the Democratic candi date toured the Middle East seemed to confirm his fears.
His lead over Republican rival John McCain had shrunk to 41-40 percent, the Fox poll found.
Last month, a Fox poll had Obama leading 45-41 percent.

During Barack Obama's much ballyhooed London visit, the White House hopeful confessed in a private chat with a British political leader that he was looking forward to taking a break.
Unaware that an ABC News microphone was listening as they strolled, Obama was asked by Tory boss David Cameron, "Do you have a break at all?"
"I have not," Obama replied. "I am going to take a week in August." He then says that if he gets elected, he'll take the advice of "somebody who had worked in the White House who - not [Bill] Clinton himself, but somebody who had been close to the process - said that, should we be successful, that actually the most important thing you need to do is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you're doing is thinking.
"The truth is that we've got a bunch of smart people," he says, "I think, who know 10 times more than we do about the specifics of the topics. And so if what you're trying to do is micromanage and solve everything, then you end up being a dilettante."

How else to explain the Campaign 2000 footage? And Cindy’s hair.
Political hacks Glenn Beck and Ben Stein are frightened that Obama draws large crowds, and liken his appeal to, you guessed it, Hitler and Mussolini. So you’re telling me if John McCain could get more than three people to listen to him speak he would pass? Doubtful.
Karl Rove tells Alan Colmes that McCain’s distortion of the Anbar Awakening time line is a “nit-nat mistake.” He’s right. Who cares if there’s a contradiction when McCain claims he has the judgment to lead on Iraq and he can’t even get the basic facts straight? I sure don’t
