Erica Werner WASHINGTON ? After insisting or a year that failure was not an ption, President Barack Obama is ow acknowledging his health-care verhaul may die in Congress. His remarks at a Democratic ational Committee fundraiser hursday night sounded contradicory at times, complicating congresional leaders? effort to revive ealth-care legislation as Democats hunger for guidance from the hite House. Even while saying he till wanted to get the job done, bama counseled going slow, and owed to new political realities. emocrats no longer command a ilibuster-proof Senate majority, nd voters and lawmakers are far ore concerned with jobs and the conomy than with enacting weeping and expensive changes to he health system. ?I think it?s very important for us o have a methodical, open process ver the next several weeks, and hen let?s go ahead and make a deciion,?

Sunday, February 7, 2010 Page 5-A Mixed race means what for Blacks? I used to wonder how people eally felt after they had lived hrough great social upheavals. I imagine, for example, that the mergence of air travel must have een starkly unsettling to people at he turn of the 20th century, who ad lived their entire lives, up to hat point, knowing only travel by and and sea. All of a sudden, the whole paraigm had changed for them and hey were forced to move away from hat had always been familiar and aken for granted, and toward that hich was suddenly the nescapable new reality. I?m beginning to feel that way bout the emergence of the ?mixed ace? phenomenon, here, in the .S. I?m not concerned at all, that here are now more and more peole who proudly self-identify as mixed race.? I?ve always believed hat people should be proud of hoever they are. What I am concerned about, owever, is whether the ?mixed ace? movement carries the potenial over time to reduce Black peole, the racial identity ...
