If you two ladies will stop letting your emotions run away with you and re-read my comment, I make no mention of President Obama. And you speaking of the 3rd World in a condescending manner speaks volumes about your nature and why you support a condescending man. And you’re right President Obama does have 99% of the Black vote which makes you two Odd Fellas.

R. U kidding me The Optus most loyal voting bloc are single black women! It is the presidents constant pandering to to women and his anti male policies influenced by feminist groups likeNOW that suggest it is Obama that has a problem with men (black ones in particular)

@lewis Orr, this is America not a 3rd World Country. Stop assuming that every single woman wants govt to be their man because this one embraces Romney’s message of opportunity over dependency. Now stop jocking the creases in Obama’s pants and say something of substance because a 2 bit community organizer who spends life hustling the poor is not the answer.

Why is it that single Black women find it hard to criticize White men regardless, to whatever they do or have done, while they find it easy to criticize Black men? Does this go back to some unconscious psychological condition created during slavery when Black women were forced to sleep with White men and for fear of harm to themselves and their children they couldn’t speak ill of the White man and blamed the Black man for not being able to protect them? Or could this be a form of the Stockholm syndrome? It makes me wonder how a person who claims to be poor can support a candidate that has come out and said he doesn’t care about poor people and intends to eliminate Health Care and all social programs. And let everyone come up on their own with nothing against billionairs.

What is a Black isure? The author wrote “Black poverty and unemployment are worse than they have been in decades” “because Valerie and Barack were busy fighting for gay rights instead of embracing any form of targeted economic policy.” Can and will the author identify a form of targeted economic policy, that is doable and can serve the needs of the Black Community while targeted on Black poverty and unemployment, if so please let your readers know what that policy is and where can we see it. Perhaps Tavis and Cornell can spend some time writing a policy outline, that would address the problem, rather then attacking the President. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Mitt Romney has disqualified himself because he is against turning America into a Nanny State, didn’t start his career in the home of an American terrorist, hasn’t accepted a Mansion in Hyde Park from Tony Rezko and doesn’t manipulate the poor to accumulate wealth.

Mitt Romney was born with a silver spoon and foot in his mouth, and has T-Totally disqualified himself from ever being president of these United States! His latest video where he comes staight out and says there is two Americas and one he doesn’t care about! That says it all, especially when he has no tangible plan for the middle class and doesn’t even know where the middle class is. He thinks $250,000 is middle class! A poor person or even a middle class person voting for Romney against their own best interest would have to be a dimwit.

And as one that attended Whitney Young Magnet Higschool from 7-12 grade during the time Michelle was there I found this article that provides the most accurate narrative about the Hyde Park Obamas and Michelle in particular. They have always been an elitist couple with little concern foor the working poor, but a great deal fof focus on their personal gain.
