Black Unemployment: Not Just a Disgrace, a Sin

There ‘s a lot to your argument. A very high percentage of Dems feel the system has wronged them. Not only black Americans, but certainly a very high pct. of blacks feel that way. Obama was supposed to right all those wrongs. How he was supposed to do that other than outright theft (which I’m sure they’d support), I don’t know. Obviously, Obama would like to do so, but can’t figure out a semi-legal way to rob most producers and “redistribute” to the faithful. But not for lack of trying.

The Black Misery Index is just another reason America must undergo profound change.
Obama is never responsible for negative outcomes.

You gets it, my brother! Man be keepin' us down!

Obama is only doing what he said he would do, what he was voted in to do.

Really? So this is the "...most open administration since the founding of the Republic"? Committee hearings "...will all be open to the public". If he's doing what he's been voted in to do, why did he threaten us today with the use of Executive Orders to get his agenda through Congress, in total disregard to the electorate. Those who sit in both Houses were also elected, you know. If you think he is doing what he said he would do, I think you need to go back and review what he promised to do.

As to the electorate, unfortunately most have the IQ of broccoli and have no more a clue about economic policy than does Obozo. Not only would I like to see a "paid tax test" for voting, I wouldn't mind a current events test, too.

You know, it’s wrong that the US is stuck catering to these people and we have to put up with the asinine lunacy that somehow some phantom ‘system’ is always to blame. It’s not just irritating, but it’s a drag and tiring. It’s like being married to a never ending critical spouse and nonstop pushing. It’s not like we can just split unfortunately, we’re stuck with the endless critic.

[CorporateStepsister]

It was all in his autobiography. We could see with our own eyes his intention to do what he’s doing right now.

African Americans vote in a bloc and they vote Democrat. The Democrats keep them in a state of victim-hood, anger and despair. They buy off black leaders and institute policies that insure dependency. All this allows people like Obama to take blacks for granted, which he does.
