					<description><![CDATA[Dear, Insight

I never accused the president of being &quot;crooked&quot; that&#039;s a serious accusation. Things like a crime, unethical behavior, proof, evidence and witnesses have to occur before such a libel statement should be uttered.

When has having your picture taken for a magazine article in order to garner votes been a crime or crooked behavior?

I have two words for you &quot;Reading Comprehension&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ok, so prior to Obama, every US President was white and 99.9% of hopefuls were white, and just about every last one of them was featured on the cover of some magazine, whether it was an Automobile magazine on down to Zoo Magazine. You know why? FOR POLITICAL GAIN

You’ll don’t get it yet! Getting a political seat is not just about what the hopeful is promising if elected; it’s also about coverage, appearances and audience. Every white president past and future has and will do the same, it’s strategic.

When he was running for election 4 years ago, he was featured on the cover of TIME and NEWSWEEK which both have predominately a white audience and subscribers, what negative thought did you think about that? (He’s selling out)

Listen here, black folks, YOU DID NOT GET OBAMA IN TO OFFICE 4 years ago and you’re not going to do it this year either, he has to appeal to the minority as well as the majority, even though the minority is NOT going to get him re-elected.

Stop bashing him because he’s on the cover of a black magazine at such a critical time, instead why don’t you write about how smart that move is and buy it, pass it around to your people and embrace it. White politicians have been doing it for hundreds of years.

You want black people to get jobs, then take the long educational route and go to college and earn a degree to help make yourselves employable.

You want mass incarceration to stop? Then stop committing crimes

You want a better educational system, then enroll your children in private schools or encourage your children to go to college and become teachers or better yet, you go to college and become a teacher

Obama is not 100 percent black, but he is the closet thing you all have right now.  Yes, he has the power to help black people but because he&#039;s not holding up the peace sign and enslaving white folks, you’ll think he&#039;s not doing enough for the black community, get real.  He knows who makes the difference when it comes to votes.  And we all know a lot of the African American community either does not vote or can not vote, especially black men.]]></description>
