    In no way is his opinion indicative of the overall sentiment in the Black population. Besides, it was Newport Beach after all. I mean come on.

    Yea, I dont think anyone said that if you are black you have to adore everything he does. I dont think he has done anything to warrant impeachment yet, though. We got 2 more years so... dont hold ya breath.

    Its actually refreshing. The only sad part is I bet if you asked him why he hated Obama his reasons would be just as ignorant as the ones whites pull out their ? .

    Yeah. Black folk should be furious with Obama, but the ones who are mostly have wrong reasons. What am I saying, most Americans in general are mad at Obama for all the wrong reasons.

    Obama's dramatic rise to the top will always endear him to alot of Blacks, no matter what happens. And if he gets assassinated, well, you know what the t-shirts and murals will look like...

    Too many White folks in this country for Obama to succeed, even if he IS doing all the right things. Defending the constitution against bigotry, supporting equal rights for everyone, ensuring medical and financial security for everyone, withdrawing troops from Iraq, bailing out, his auto bailout saved American motor companies and thousands of jobs in the motor industry. Yeah, increased taxes suck ( and bank bailouts, also ), but it's for the greater good. Obama is only a "bad president" if you're elderly, White, Republican, bigoted, or brainwashed by Fox news. If Obama set tax cuts for everyone, America would still hate him. Blacks have to work twice as hard just to gain the same respect Whites do. This is a very racist country and it shows. ..Another thing some people don't ponder, or perhaps more than I thought.. he isn't particularly fond of White people, and you take into account there is a system implemented in this country that only favors the wealthy ( specifically the wealthy White ), and a large percentage of Blacks are living in ? conditions.. without health care, equal employment opportunities, etc. Fortunately, there are plenty of Government and Federal jobs, which almost anyone is guaranteed if applied for.. Black, White, Mexican, etc. Remember the Obama administration is ( or maybe already has successfully ) pushed for ? sentencing reform.. which favors Blacks, as a result of the disparity ( racist disparity, at that ) sentencing differential between possession of ? ? ( affecting predominately inner city Blacks ) and powder ? ( affecting wealthier Whites, primarily ).. He wants to close the gap, because racism and class warfare IS a part of America.. and he wants equality for his people, but I wont say all of his agendas are racially motivated.. afterall, he is still just another politician, at the end of the day....
    Thanks for the long, unorganized ramble, but it's pretty disingenuous to claim Obama is supporting equal rights for everyone and an all out lie to say he's ensuring medical and financial security for everyone.

    Wait... I thought you guys adapted a new system of health care similar to ours recently?

    Don't you guys have free medical in the US ?

    I hope you're mocking us.

    Hell no we don't. It's still run by big insurance companies for profit. There are a few changes in place, for example, people with pre-existing conditions (like someone who has a chronic or hereditary illness) can't be denied a coverage plan, but millions of people still can't afford the insurance, and even with a lot of the cheaper plans, they still make you pay an arm and a leg if you have serious medical needs.

    i am willing to bet money that people have said this
    He is the worst President in U.S. History, for Blacks-
    what is the purpose of this hyperbole? he's clearly not worse for blacks than James Buchanan or Woodrow Wilson or any number of past presidents.

    Are you Black, now? If not, what are you using to come to this conclusion?

    How are you determining this? Because I am going by how much he has hurt Blacks, since he's been in office. I am comparing that, to how I voted for him NOT as my fav candidate...


    but as the candidate who appeared to have the lowest chance, of hurting Black America with this policies.

    boy, was I colossally-wrong.
    How in the hell did he hurt black people?

    perhaps a better question is "why are you answering a question with a question?"

    James Buchanan, being the worst president of all time, was worse for blacks and whites and everyone else in one fell swoop.

    Canned answer. In all fairnes, they did Obama him when he got in office. Imagine holding office after the assasination and having to deal with civil war backlash.

    Bush was the worst. or maybe Harrison. Any dude that runs under the banner of a party called Whig has to be wack.

    And don't forget either, this 'Blacks vs. Obama' subject is one I have spoke on plenty of times so I am the last person in here seeking to dodge the debate...if anything, I'm in here welcoming mufu's home, it's been lonely here ...so you better go somewhere and recognize what's real
    you're dodging my questions in this thread while saying you wouldn't dodge my comments in this thread? ridiculous

    well, it's a canned-sounding answer because he's the worst, so i always mention him. but are you even talking about James Buchanan? he predates Lincoln; you're thinking of Andrew Johnson.

    I'm Black and I'm not crazy about him either. The war in Afghanistan has gone on for too long, he isn't presenting any new ideas on how to improve the economy, and he foolishly got involved with Arizona's law on illegal immigrants, even after they changed it to make sure racial profiling would not be an issue.

    Obama is gonna be a one term president, but damn, even I didn't think he'd be doing this bad so soon.

    let me expose a liar, real quick, who thinks his question isn't being answered/thinks I'm competing with him, for the troll title:
    actually, it is a fact that you like to troll. but let me cut right to the chase here. here's the current post:
    ~43 out of the previous 43 Presidents, all did something tangible and specific to uplift their own Race their own Heritage their own Ethnicity.

    but wait! let's see what you ACTUALLY mentioned earlier.
    He is the worst President in U.S. History, for Blacks

    so your statement is that all the previous presidents were better for blacks than Obama because they did something tangible and specific to uplift white people? this is, to say the least, some curious logic.

    meanwhile, James Buchanan was complaining about abolitionists riling up all those nice slave-owners in the south. Obama is CLEARLY worse for blacks than that guy, right?
