Black America's divide over Obama

Divided? If you mean 95% in favor of Obama no matter how incompetent he is and the lonely 5% opposed with a brain.
Yeah, I suppose you could call that divided.

Is there anyplace one can get photos of Ø'b0z0's cabinet -- and all his "czars"?

Will the races depicted reflect theracial makeup of the US?

[LooneyTick]

A blind squirrel gets an acorn occasionally!!!

[Vince Ferrer]

The details of this article disprove the assertion.
How is a black president having black critics not postracial? If Waters and Sharpton are criticising him for not being black enough, how is Obama not acting postracial? How is Cain’s criticism of Obama not post racial?

[maineman]

Divide???? No divide at all...95% in BHO camp..divide>>??? What a joke.

[tflabo]

When Barack Obama was elected president, millions of Americans believed that the United States finally was entering a postracial period when race no longer mattered in any serious way

Won't happen until a post-lieberal period is achieved.

“... Obama, the first black president, would improve life for blacks - “his people.””

Those aren’t Hussein’s people, those are Holder’s people. Holder is authentically black.

The Dems played the race card to beat the Republicans in 2008. Barack Obama IS the race card.

[umgud]

The source of this renewed infighting is the dashed hope that Obama, the first black president, would improve life for blacks - "his people." Life has not improved for blacks under Obama. The unemployment rate among blacks is 16.7 percent, nearly double the national average. Forty percent of black children are living in poverty, and the housing crisis has hit blacks harder than other groups.

Bush mucked things up so bad that even Obama can't fix it in just one term.

At a glance, the makeup looks fairly equitable...

[Baynative]

On of the main reasons so many people got behind Obama was to create what they saw as an invulnerability for him by being able to play the race card whenever anyone disagreed with anything he may say or do.

That won't change. The libs won't desert him because that was their goal. The blacks won't desert him for obvious reasons. The OWS crowd won't desert him because they have no where to go.

America's hope lies with the independent middle... and maybe a percentage of the Jewish vote.

its funny how the first “black” president stems from slaveowners not from slaves

[festusbanjo]

Their disappointment stems from the fact that many blacks figured they would soon be livin large on easy street with one of “their own” in the White House. Obama has demonstrated that he is such a miserable failure that his Reverse-Midas touch has left no one protected regardless of race.

[taterjay]

Whites never agree enmasse, why should the blacks? The country is America, not black America or white America. The black libs need to first, toughen up, and secondly,look at, up to, and listen to the Clarence Thomases and Herman Cains of the USA, and possibly their plight might improve. That is my opinion and I am sticking to it.

The source of this renewed infighting is the dashed hope that Obama, the first black president, would improve life for blacks - "his people." Life has not improved for blacks under Obama.

His fans expected increased entitlements -- cradle to grave coverage for everything imaginable. Reparations.

[Deaf Smith]

"are having their loyalties to "the race" ...

The blacks are aligning themselves with the Mexicans? (La Razza). Didn't see that coming.

“... Obama, the first black president, would improve life for blacks - “his people.””

Those aren’t Hussein’s people, those are Holder’s people. Holder is authentically black.

I apparently was mistaken in thinking that the president's and the AG's people were supposed to be the American people.

[wetgundog]

Barry O is not “authentically black’, he’s bi-racial.
Hell, he’s not “authentically American” either, come to think about it. He’s Kenyanindonesiancommieagitator.

Just sayin’
