Blacks still aren’t sure if Obama’s “down for the struggle” although many are vacillating. They have been hoping for a viable black Democrat candidate for decades (Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have never been nor will ever be viable). Now they’ve got one and self appointed black leaders continue to sit back and take potshots at him.
It’s starting to look as if Obama is in it for real. I think, at this point, his support is coming from liberal whites sick of the Clintons and everyday black people - not leaders. If he continues to ascend, eventually you’ll see Jackson/Sharpton et al stuck by Obama’s side like “white on rice”. Self appointed black leaders are nothing if not opportunists.

When Hillary is ready for the final coup de grace to Obama’s campaign - she will order Jackson and Sharpton to do just that.
Maybe Obama need to become a republican;-)
