Stop playing the damn race card, its sooo old and tired. God, how looong can you be a victim, doesnt it get boring? I have tits and feminism got boring a long time ago.

Stand the fuck up and get some self esteem.

People do not hate Obama because he is Black, they hate him because he is a globalist fuck who lied to them. He played them like a sad, tiny, violin, and they bought it, and now they are pissed off. The others never believed the BS anyway.

Get a grip, this guy will not even visit your low income housing, The govment cheese is OVER, black white red yellow. Better start looking towards self, instead of govmnt Cheese handouts. The Govmnt is broke babies and your welFre is going to be the first to go. So get up off your asses and look for alternatives to big daddy govment fixing your problems, which apparently are many, for like 150 years!

“Because the people love Obama, and three years of a difficult power transition has not caused their “Hope” to wane, some want to push their impatience on the masses of the people or give the impression Obama is losing support. ”

You are out of your fucking mind. This article is full of shit from start to finish. A lazy, no good worthless piece of propaganda. Obama has done nothing but destroy America in the theme of globalism and world domination which he said in his books he would do, and has done. He ran on anti-war and has started 3 more wars going towards a 4th, plus a few other minors no one talks about. Wow. You are just a big liar, as is Obama. The man is destroying the country, taking his orders from the UN. He has not been accountable to the people or to Congress, is second place for Worst President Ever, right behind Bush.

No. You are a lair, obfuscator, and general apologist, which is just crazy right now. The President needs to be removed from office for being weak and basically insane. 5 Wars?
WTF? He represents No one, unless they just have skin color, half in mind.

Truth hurts. Some people can’t bear to hear the negative truth about the President anymore. Hopefully his actions in the future will be positive.

“you see where they’re going with this, and some of us would gladly back with them.
We can play these rhetoric games if we want to, but we know blacks are better off after integration—like we know most white folks segregated again after Reagan (they just forgot to tell y’all) to obstruct and disrupt the politics of anti-poverty and like we know one President is not going to cure poverty. ”
I disagree with this fully and challenge to show some metric to prove this assertion.

Dell Gines,
I was going leave this matter as having been concluded with my last entry. However, you have asked a question which deserves an answer. What is the solution?? Would you know the solution, Mr Gines, if it looked you in the face. And what would you do with the solution, Mr Gines once you founded it?? A smart lawyer once said, you should not present a question, which you do not already have the answer to. Of course I have a solution Mr Gines. Being a person who does economic development for a living, I ask you Mr. Gines to present and challenge your economic friends with this solution and see if is not solid. Now, here it is Mr. Gines. Let change the world!! Our economy needs to create 250,000 to 300,000 jobs each month to sustain a healthy economic recovery. The President and Congress can act now to make this happen by changing the laws governing Social Security to allow 9,600 baby boomers who will be retiring each day over the next 18 years to take partial distributions of $20,000.00 dollars from their Social Security principal. Congress, by extending the partial distribution option, which is required among private pension funds( private pension plans must present this option, among other options also, at the time you are thinking of retiring and rolling over your retirement funds), to Social Security and waiving the taxation on the first $20,000.00 dollars withdrawn from a retirement fund, Social Security included, effectively creates a pool of capital big enough, to stimulate the economy, creating jobs. Boomers could dump as much $192,000,000 million dollars into our faltering economy each day, based on the waived taxes benefit, and the $20,000.00 dollar partial distribution, ( $20,000.00 x 9,600 ) which amounts to approximately $70 billion dollars a year, AS THEY PURCHASE PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND REDUCE DEBT TO COMFORTABLY RETIRE. Imagine, that number doubles to $384,000,000 million dollars per day pumped into the economy if the partial distribution is raised to $40,000.00 dollars. Our objective should be to have Congress enact legislative changes to Social Security to make this possible. And put our country back to work !!! ( I feel it s/b offered to all retirees @ 66 years of age who are taking down “full” retiree benefits ). You see, Mr Gines, it does not take 10 years. http://www.sslumpsum.com

James, I applaud what you are fundamentally saying about coming with solutions.

Dude, I do economic development for a living, and work with some of the best economist in the nation. This kind of financial calamity is the greatest in the history of America next to the Great Depression.

You can’t frame this in the context of winning and losing because it isn’t a game, the variables are two complex, and Obama doesn’t control all the pieces.

You are talking about a 10 year turn around, as I mentioned, in the case of both a recession and a financial crisis. Presidential terms are 4 years. You do the math.

No only that, we had the Japanese Tsunami, the European issues (Greece, and others). All of these are WAYYYYYYY out of Obama’s control.

So if you are evaluating him solely on jobs, you are doing him a diservice. The President is not God, he is a politician.

Dell Gines,
The conclusion of this matter, is that it is not I who is judging this President. He himself once said on the “60 Minutes” television program, that he understands if he is unable to overcome the issue of creating jobs in this faltering economy,he would be a one term President. Look, the reason we loved “Ali” as a boxer was because he was a winner. The reason there are winners is because they win. If we want our President to win and I DO, WE MUST HELP HIM!! Because he was dealt a bad hand from former President Bush and he was, does not mean he cannot win. What he needs from us as a collective is for us to stop making excuses for the circumstances he’s been put in, as you are doing and put our collective heads together, and come up with a “solution” that will take him and us to victory. Once we find a solution, we should mainstream it and challenge the the Tea Party and the Republicans. We need to call spade a spade and say to those and the orginizations they represent, the time for excuses is longed pass. Help press this issue of job creation just as our President is doing or please get out of the way. http://www.sslumpsum.com

James, I understand what you are saying, but using ‘jobs’ as the sole measure of evaluating a president is not smart.

Our President was face with both a financial crisis, and a recession. These two things rarely occur at the same time, and when they do recovery is much much longer.

If you factor that in with a global recession, plus a fundamental change in the way economics is occuring in this global, techno new economy and you have to take a much broader look at what is occuring.

Jobs are a function of business. Major corporations had a net loss of jobs over the past 5 or 6 years, and the businesses that created the net new jobs, were small gazelle stage 2 companies.

But getting these up again is a challenge. Because of the financial crisis and the reaction, regulations have increased, lending is down, banks are sitting on money until they see where the economy is going, and access to capital for growth has slowed.

So how exactly is this Obama’s fault? You have an incompetent congress, and they set the budget, and you have other nations that are looking at us like WTF which causes increased economic global instability.

All of this was HANDED to Obama by Bush, and now we thing he is supposed to be THE WIZ is fix it by having Dorothy click her heals?

I say this as someone who is not pro-Obama, just a rational observer of events.

Mr. Samad, there is no conversation to be had other than one. That’s the conversation of jobs and how this President will create them!! It matters not, if Mr. Obama is Black or White. The Smiley and West tour and the drama it generated is meaningful, only if it led to creating jobs and it did not!! The Congressional Black Caucus as an organization is bankrupt of any ideas in regard to creating jobs as is, the Urban League and the NAACP. These organizations are bording on on being completely useless, in this fight, unless they genuinely refocus their attention on legitimate job creation plans. Republicans have the votes to block any grant and give away programs and the aforementioned organizations continue to present those type proposals as answers to job creation. They are merely shuffling paper in the name of progress. Sophisticated and intelligent brothers and sisters are not deceived as these organizations and people like you attempt to direct our attention from the core problem. WE NEED JOBS BROTHER!!! This President will not win re-election unless he presents a credible jobs creation plan which doesnot involve grants and handouts. So stop wasting valuable air time, about these side debates which we can have later once we are working again. Start writing about your plan for job creation, than send it to our President. There is no question, he is loooking for “the” job creation plan that will pull the country and Black unemployed brothers whose current unemployment rate stands at 17%, out of the deepest recession since the great depression. http://www.sslumpsum.com

DG, basically, you and the author both agree that we should “Support Obama because he is Black, that has symbolic value and is the lesser of two evils.” But you also understand why some would choose to criticize him. But no matter which of the two we choose, we should look for strategic ways to engage the system collectively regardless of who the president is. I like the way you have laid out the options. Could there be others?
