Obama slow jams

If you happened to miss the President slow jammin' on Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night then you're probably not sure what folks are mad at today. Obama appeared on the show to discuss of course the upcoming election,student loans and the infamous secret service scandal. His appearance sparked controversy when he participated in the segment "slow jam the news". Many think that his participation  showed a lack of leadership and are jumping at the opportunity to call him out on it. Fox News is of course having the biggest problem with it and already claiming a Republican victory. Let's face it, this president has a charm and appeal that not many do; the appearance on Tuesday received huge ratings due to his appearance. So get a grip....the man knows his job and a little bit of humor never hurt anybody. Watch the video and you be the judge...

Pay Attention College Students...

Congress at it again yall! They have decided to tighten the eligibility rules for Pell Grant applications, these rule changes are set to start on July 1, 2012. Pell Grants were and are designed to help those from families of modest means afford college, due to its successfulness, the number of those who apply has more than doubled in the last ten years. The number has risen from 9.5 million in 01' to 19.4 million in 2011, while the costs of the program has tripled from ten million in 01' to 34.9 million in 2012.
One of the Pell Grant provisions being discarded is the Ability-To-Benefit (ATB) test. Reading Comprehension, Sentence Structure, and Arithmetic Skills are the three ATB tests measures. This test is a requirement for those who wanna apply for a Pell Grant, but don't have a h.s. diploma or a G.E.D. certification. The removal of the ATB option will most definitely affect minorities and low income citizens. This test is for many, the gateway to higher education. The numbers say it all...according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2008), those with bachelor's degree earn twice as much as those with a h.s. diploma, $42,783 to $21, 569, also 24 % of African-Americans students receive Pell Grants. To all those who want to take the ATB test, the deadline is July 1, 2012.
