TOP 5 STORIES By Robert "Rob" Redding Jr. Editor & Publisher
1. President Obama - He is the most controversial man in America. Is he a socialist? Is he a Muslim? Is he even an American citizen? He was and will continue to be the focal point of most news - from his tax compromise to his "Whose ass to kick" response during the catastrophic Gulf oil spill. 2. Black unemployment rate - The recession is reported to be over but black unemployment still surged to its highest yet. The rate was a staggering 16.3 percent in August. 3. Health care - After bitter political wrangling, President Obama was able to sign into law one of his major campaign promises a $1 trillion health care overhaul intended to expand coverage to more Americans. But Republicans used public misgivings about parts of the plan as a springboard for election gains, and the overhaul faced a welter of lawsuits challenging its constitutionality.
4. U.S. elections - President Obama called it a "shellacking" an election in which the Republicans surged to a majority in the House of Representatives, and gained more governor's offices and legislative majorities. The Democrats were able to hang on to their edge in the Senate, leaving the U.S. with at least two years of divided government.
5. Haiti earthquake - Already the Western Hemisphere's most destitute nation, Haiti was shattered by an earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed at least 230,000 and left millions homeless. Crucial reconstruction projects were slow to get started; disease and political instability added to the woes. (The Associated Press contributed to this report) |

1. The Obamas are still the most popular and glamorous couple in the world. According to Gallup, President Obama is still the most admired man - though he has slipped a few points since 2008. What's more, Michelle more than makes up for what her husband lacks in the polls. This is still the power couple of the year.
 3. Al Sharpton led the charge to keep radio host Rush
Limbaugh out of the NFL last year and is now fighting for the radio
icon to be
tossed off the air.

2. Michael Steele led Republicans to a historic win. 
4. Oprah
Winfrey is expected to make a big splash with her OWN network. 
5.
Bishop Eddie Long became the face of what is right and wrong with the black
church, as it relates to gays in the church.
1.
The new black Republicans -
2. John Boyd - The man responsible for getting Congress to pass
and the president to sign the historic black farmers settlement.
3. Cam Newton - The winner of the Heisman and AP Player of the
Year awards is not without his own controversy. We hope he is not being
set up for the big kill by the sports world.
4. Drake - A publication was right when it wrote that it does not
matter if you don't like this rapper/singer because your favorite rapper
does. This guy has been unstoppable and is still on just about every
meaningful record this past year.
5. The Smiths - Tiny Willow and Jaden Smith are more proof
that the black family is not dead.
