					<description><![CDATA[It baffles my mind that you people are dilusional enough to think he (the President) would espouse rhetoric totally supporting African Americans. What you want him to be a one term President also??? The support of College students and the loans needed for higher education, the bank bail out, the automobile bail out, Health care.... Need I go on??? Get a life and support the President. You by implication would be suggesting that a (Black Veteran) receive preference in his disability application. Come on, we as Americans have to fight (white) americans as they are the ultimate decision makers. It is naïve and ludicrous to write this article and quite frankly shame on you. Smh]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[as a black conservative as well i am apppalled by this article to imply that obama isnt spending enough time on black issues is not only ingnorant but also a bloated sense of entitlement, and to imply that all white conservatives are racist is a bogus flatout lie. First off obama is the presdent of the united states and is his duty to adress the needs of all americans just not a certain group of people. also not all conservatives are racist in fact the republican party have done alot more for black people than democrats ever had all the democrats did was give us welfare which is another type of slavery. so i suggest you do some research before publishing ingornant lies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Historically, it never has been encouraged that we operate together because they know how strong we could be and they are scared of that. Nobody will complain to see only Asian employees in an Asian restaurant for instance.  People won&#039;t question it and they will think it is normal.  Same thing with the Jews, etc.  We are the only one who believe that lie at our expense.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Honestly if you look at their voting records, Romney and Obama are very similar on a lot of key issues. Mind you, Romney will never be president, but that isn&#039;t because Obama is great. 

Vote for who you want because in the end it doesn&#039;t really matter too much this year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think some of the comments are from the conservatives pretending to be liberal
They are trying to confuse people not to vote for Obama. If you vote Romney, its the beginning of poverty for all working class. As at now we are spending too much on grocery and gas. when Romney put his taxes on our income then we know we are done for. Am sure we are not expecting Obama to help small business apply for loan or any other help that is out there. There is no time any president will come out and say I make this specially for so so group. E
We should follow the trend of tings and take advantage of the programs available. Give your vote for Obama. An evil known is better than an evil not known. Ask NJ people, see what Chris is doing to them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can only speak for me: MY LIFE, MY MONEY, and MY SITUATIONS have improved over the last 4 years! Is that because of the POTUS?! Perhaps some of it may be. But I would say MOST of it is because I have taken steps to broaden my reach professionally &#038; personally. In other words, I got my DREAM HUSTLE on! I agree with many points in this article and fully respect Dr. Watkins&#039; approach and position. I will say, however, that regardless of who the president is, each of us has a responsibility to SCRATCH &#038; HUSTLE for him/herself. That part of the deal WILL NOT CHANGE no matter who gets elected.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First off Mike, what you&#039;re not understanding is that there are Blacks who truly work hard in what they do to make better changes for themselves and their communities. They&#039;re not just sitting down and complaining depending solely on welfare or a helping hand. Yet when it comes to resources, they want to vote for leaders who can serve the needs or &quot;fill in the blanks&quot; to better things that may be lacking in the Black community. We have to remember that Blacks have labored and worked harder in this country than anybody else and on top of that with NO PAY! So no, we&#039;re not using the whole 400 years slave labor with no pay as a crutch or as an excuse to sit and lay back and expect Obama to give us what we want. We still work hard but yet the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and DISADVANTAGES of our long labor and hardships is too much at times put to the wayside over other struggles that came after Black struggles like Women&#039;s Suffrage, gay/lesbian rights, etc who PIGGYBACKED off of the Black Civil Right Struggle. We were discriminated before anybody else. We fought for Civil Rights before anybody else. Blacks set the foundation yet our foundation has been deliberately skewed to protect the needs of others whose civil rights struggles wouldn&#039;t have come to be if it weren&#039;t for the foundations that Black Americans and that&#039;s something that the President has to acknowledge.

The Double Standards of saying &quot;Obama is not just the President of Black America but of all America&quot; when most of this country&#039;s history, all of the US presidents who were White represented &quot;WHITE INTERESTS&quot; at the end of the day but they never say &quot;I&#039;m not the President of White America but of all America&quot; unless to swoon Black votes has to STOP! Before Obama, American interests has for the most part and if not for MOST OF THIS COUNTRY&#039;S HISTORY always been SYNONYMOUS to WHITE/ANGLO SAXON/EUROPEAN INTERESTS, not the interest of the whole AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHIC. 

So what&#039;s the CHANGE that Obama is bragging about? Most people would subconsciously think but many may not acknowledge openly that the CHANGE is that of the President&#039;s RACIAL IMAGE, that it was a time for change from the old WHITE/ANGLO SAXON CHRISTIAN MALE image and background. Other than that, that&#039;s the only change that I see. Seems to represent the same interests as the last 43 Presidents regardless of party affiliations because at the end of the day, they worked for the same interests, and that is the CORPORATE ELITE!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank You For Writing This Article - We Need More Like It!

Let us hope this is the beginning of an objective look at Mr. Obama and his policies with respect to black communities.  More black intellectuals like yourself need to lay objective arguments before the Obama Administration, in real time and numbers in regard their lukewarm response to the dire black economic situation. Of great concern to me personally and has been for the last few years is the double digit unemployment rate among black men for almost five straight years. It is painful to see that number escalating again with the last unemployment report to 14.8%.  I live in a black community and I see first hand the misery, the lost enthusiasm, the poverty, and in some instance the shameful questioning of young black men when it comes to their manhood. Many internalize their inability not to find decent work and the inability of not being able to provide for their children. We can all see superficially what is going in our communities because it is hard not to miss for anyone who opens their eyes.  However, this President has done deeper and greater harm in terms of compromising our normal defenses that we have come to depend upon as a race when faced with these kinds of challenges.  Our civil rights organizations and indeed the Black Caucus have been compromised.  These interest groups are our first responders, criticizing government policy when it works against our best interest.  This President and his Administration have co-opted those who willingly sold out at the first tier level. The Administration has caused confusion of among many who normally would speak out and have in some instances silenced those who have been unwilling to cooperate. This is where some real damage has been done to our race.  We must be men and women of some integrity and call a spade a spade, when it comes to this President.  We must and shall demand he address, high unemployment as the number one economic issue of our community.  If necessary, we should at every gathering, at every opportunity, ask with great focus and intensity, “Mr. Obama, Where is your National Job Creation Plan.”  Show it to us! Articulate it! Write it down! By the way, those who think the American Jobs Act was a job creation plan, you are absolutely wrong! It was no more than an expansion of the federal payroll, as the federal government would have paid the salaries of the teachers, firemen, policemen and construction workers. The federal government cannot begin to hire the millions of brothers and sisters who are out of work.  It is not just thousands who are unemployed, it is millions! We must not retreat in this demand, as almost every measurement of progress in the black community is flashing RED! www.sslumpsum.com]]></description>
