In addition to waiting with baited breath on the special Massachusetts Senate election, President Obama has a couple of interesting things brewing this week.
1) The President is trying to secure more education funds for his Race To The Top program that has states competing for Federal funding.
2) Last week the President met with 50 CEOs to see if there was a way to get government to run more efficiently. For example the US Patent Office currently processes all applications manually and takes three years to approve a patent.
Good luck to the President on these somewhat under the radar initiatives. As Nona Hendryx said, "It takes Steady Action".

About this blog:
POSRO isn't a household word in American culture, but it has been featured in publications as varied as The Source magazine and The New York Times.
For those of you that know--and those of you that don't--the name is a play on the word NEGRO. We took away the NEG-ative prefix and replaced it with a POS-itive one. We "Reversed The Charges" so to speak.
Reversing the negative charges in the thought processes that go into the coverage Black people receive in the media, even in the age of Obama, is what this blog is all about.
The subject matter will vary as the mood hits me One day I may be talking sports. The next day local news in Trenton, NJ. But no matter what I talk about, I promise to be honest, respectful and entertaining. I hope you enjoy reading in the days, weeks, months and years to come.
