			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the US, us &#8220;over 50&#8243; folks spend $2.3 trillion and  <a href="http://businessover50.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/powerful-over-50-business-people-standing.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-112" title="powerful-over-50 -business-people-standing" src="http://businessover50.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/powerful-over-50-business-people-standing-266x300.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="242" /></a><br />
we controls 50% of all discretionary income.</p>
<p><strong><br />
In 2011</strong>:</p>
<p>Those of us over age 50 will respresent 25% of the population.<br />
In that same year it is estimated that the US population will be<br />
12.5% Non-Hispanic Black and<br />
14.8% Hispanic origin</p>
<p><strong><br />

Those of us over 50 should remember&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyone with more than 1/40th black blood was considered black and was subject to the discrimination that was directed toward blacks or Negroes. All of us in the nation watched the news and TV coverage of black people being beaten and dragged and water hosed, just because they wanted to have the same rights as white Americans.</p>
<p>Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States of America. We have overcome.  Not just the Negro, the black, the African American.  But the entire United States nation has overcome.  Yes, there are the bigots and racists.  There will always be narrow minded people.  But bigotry and racism does not define us as a nation anymore.  No longer does bigotry, racism and prejudice drive our policies and actions and laws.</p>
<p>The hot issue now is the recession and our economic woes. And the ripple effects are felt globally. Putting politics aside, I&#8217;m hoping the country can focus on the business of healing our economy. Barack Obama is our new president and leader, but he cannot solve problems alone. We all must help with the restoration to economic health.</p>

<p><strong>President Barack Hussein Obama:</strong><br />
<em>We love you, we bless you, we support you.  I know the nation joins me in wishing you well.</em></p>
<p>Mr. President, make us proud!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cash and cash flow problems are big topics in the news these days. Large, global investment and financial institutions are in trouble. Banks are failing and being taken over. If you listen to some, without financial bailouts, the United States economy is in danger of  financial ruin. Many who insisted that the country was not in a recession a couple of weeks ago, are now mentioning the dreaded “d” word: Depression.</p>
<p>It’s big news when the big guys are in trouble. Small, women owned and minority businesses have always had difficulty with finances. Lack of cash flow and working capital is a leading cause of business failure. Noble Finances has some solutions that can help cure financial woes for companies turned down by traditional banking institutions.</p>
<p>The Atlanta Tribune&#8217;s “Moving Your Business Forward” (MYBF) event will be held October 9, 2008 in Columbus, GA. The theme for this 3rd annual MYBF conference in Columbus, GA is “Strategies for Business Growth: Finding Money &amp; Understanding of the Benefits of Certification&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sandra Noble, that’s me, is featured on the financial panel at the Columbus MYBF event. I get to share about Noble Finances and the alternatives to traditional bank financing that we provide.</p>
