Obama can only do but so much. Young black males need to be monitored, especially the troublemakers. Obama’s unable to hold the hand of these young males and guide them through life.

@ Hassan…what the shot callers did was give us a “CHOICE”
Romney, McCain, or Obama was a real selection or what Herman Cain.

No of the Above were gonna challenge status quo. Obama and any president always has power. If they had the balls too…maybe the American People would be better off… Obama and all others have been to scare of challenging BIG MONEY.

JFK was the last President to challenged BIG MONEY/BANK,,, see what happened
Abe Lincoln challenged BIG MONEY… what happened
McKinney…Garfield???

We are supposed to believe in the magic bullet and One Lone Gunman…like they were just pissin one person off before there death…Yeah right…lol

So do you think Obama willing to challenge big Money/ Federal Reserve, and put his life on the line…. he ain’t he’s got everything to lose and the gain must not be worth it.

Good thing is the Clinton years are coming back…and big money is keeping lots of capital on the sideline…. only 2 more years… Economy Boom otw so cheer up…its all smoke and mirrors….

Eat, drink, and be merry friends

Obama full of ish….

Let me get this right… Now.. after 5yrs you wanna help us get Into school. OK. But Mr. Obama you do more black males are attending college… Its been going on the last 50 plus years.

OK cool you want to help in an area that is getting better rather then in an area that is decrepit (MIDDLE CLASS BLUE COLLAR pls HOLLA).

We got a large number of individuals with non violent criminal histories…might be a good idea to sign an executive order to ban Background checks from revealing 8 yr old weed poss charges.

Or prohibit credit checks…knowing the credit industry has been racially motivated when determining rates and scores. HR managers use these numbers to hire, and if these numbers are the basis plus rigged, we are screwed… Proofs in the pudding…don’t believe me…whats unemployment in the black community??? Just another tool in the shed at the least…

Maybe you could Really lean on some of the Goldman Sach & Morgan Stanley Gang that pulls ya strings… Thanks for healthcare… Hillary said she had to throw the guy a bone… taking over during the worst economic period in a while….

Before we got jobs you wanted to give us Healthcare…

WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING HEALTHY IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY FOR FOOD, LIGHTS, AND RENT…. WTF

talk about pullin the cart before carriage..Pis poor philosophy n that’s why its really such a headache…

Very promising, but the bottom line is that the man in the mirror. Also, it’s a spiritual issue. I acknowledge that most young folks of color are at risk, and I have many many concerns, as I see my 25 year old daughter, and 23 year old daughter blinded by the ever present less than low expectations this society is blasting them with. It’s a sickness that pulsates through the air we breathe. I pray for these young people and I am not saying that rhetorically. I am saying that with HOPE. I am not African American, however, my seeds are, as well as my beautiful grandchildren. Therefore, this issue does pertain to me. I also have a 21 year old son, whom I see less blinded, however grew up without a positive male African American roll model. (His/their father,a U.S. Army veteran who was kicked out of the military after returning home from Saudi Arabia, due to his drug and alcohol problems, has been in and out of prison for the past 18 years. I am grateful that President Obama has addressed this issue for our future leaders to see in writing that, yes, the people of color will perish in a kaleidoscope of confusion and lack of urgency, if nothing changes.
