Miller asked Obama to consider the plight of a hypothetical young, African-American in Chicago's South Side: Father gone, mother working 10 hours a day for "peanuts," there are no jobs and, "You won't even say, 'Look, I am going to help you,'" Miller said.
"Emmett, that is not -- first of all, that is not what people are saying," Obama said, bristling. "What people are saying all across the country is we are hurting and we've been hurting for a long time. And the question is how can we make sure the economy is working for every single person."
Obama added, "The other thing I want to make sure you don't just kind of slip in there is this notion that African-American leaders of late have been critical. There have been a handful of African-Americans who have been critical. They were critical when I was running for president. There's always going to be somebody who is critical of the president of the United States."

Hussein thinks the economy is “working” just fine when 75% are receiving government assistance and paying no taxes while only a few of us slave away for their benefit. Right now he is unhappy that we only have 50% freeloading parasites in the country. We can do MUCH better than that.
boy, lad, youth, whatever. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Actually, more like an octomaroon (duck’n & runn’n)
That’s a relief, thanks for reassuring me.
If the sycophants at BET are turning on Soetoro, the wheels are definitely coming off the bus.
The last time I remember a President visibly losing his base like this was the Southern Democrats turning on Jimmy Carter.
BET , like the TeaParty,GOP,RUSH,Michelle Malkin, Hannity, Beck , etc are all racists!
