The just-released report is titled "The 100 Projects,100 Days Report." It was sent from Corey Ealons, the president's director of African American media and presents projects and recovery spending aimed squarely at the black community.

Here are some of the federal projects and programs listed in the White House '100 Days' report:

• Unemployed individuals who were laid off began collecting an extra $25 a week in unemployment benefits and paying 65 percent less for their COBRA health insurance premiums.

• Ninety-five percent of working families saw their take-home pay increase because of the Making Work Pay tax credit.

• Qualifying families saw their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits increase by over 13 percent.

• Fifty-four million seniors received $250 Recovery Act relief payments, with similar benefits going to veterans and other groups in the coming weeks.

I am not sure how the White House determined that these specific programs are of benefit to black folks in particular. In fact, one critic speculates that this press release was put together to push back criticism coming from quarters of the black community:

"I think the response to the president's strategy of the 'rising tides lifts all boats' was so negative on the part of many people, such as journalists, bloggers, and across the community and radio shows that I think the White House felt that it had to respond by putting together a specific list of projects for African Americans who are benefiting," says University of Maryland Politic Scientist Dr. Ron Walters. "There's been quite a bit of criticism that African Americans were not feeling the weight of the stimulus money that's coming into the communities. Even though some of us have been trying to say they should be forming task forces and things like that to begin to track those funds, they still feel that it has been a responsibility of the White House to direct these funds into those areas that need them most. And so they haven't heard that message. And I think this is an attempt to try to begin to get at that.
