~HipHopRepublican would like to congratulate Lenny McAllister's new position at AOL Black Voices.

By Lenny McAllister

When Obama noted the $300 billion in tax cuts proposed by McCain, McCain effectively responded by illustrating that Obama - in the midst of this economic crisis - is proposing tax increases on those that help create jobs and, more importantly, is proposing $800 billion in new spending with his proposed budget... (i)t's hard to cut taxes for 95% of Americans and introduce $800 billion in new spending, especially when a $700 billion bailout is currently on the table..."

Political commentator Lenny McAllister comments on the first presidential debate with his first contribution to AOL Black Voices. McAllister is slated to provide the Republican viewpoint on the events surrounding the final month of the presidential campaign.

McAllister will be featured as one of the two featured writers for the "Black Spin" segment of the online magazine. The AOL article is currently available online at http://www.blackvoices.com/

"Just because a person has 20/20 vision does not mean that both of their eyes see things the same way. Sometimes, things become clear because two contrasting views bring about a sharper focus. In much the same way, we saw a contrast in vision between Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain during the first presidential debate...a night of contrasts."

McAllister will discuss the contrasts on display during the first presidential debate during his comments on the Fox Charlotte morning show "Fox News Rising" this Monday morning. He can be seen during the 6:10 AM and 7:20 AM segments during Fox News Rising (hosted by Anna Kooiman and Mark Mathis.)
