Obama scares me; not because he is black - but, because of his actions; and, if the black community would look at him objectively - and not in a haze of adoration - I think that they would realize that this administration is not doing the right thing for America and Americans of all shapes, sizes and ethic background. For instance, the terror trials in NYC - sure while people don't have jobs, hospitals are closing down in NYC, the feds should spend $200 million dollars on this stupid trial. Job creation - what both white and black people need are jobs - is this Administration focused on job creation? Citibank, where the government is a major shareholder - is sending its customer service jobs to the Phillipines? Why aren't those jobs here? Health care insurance - yes, we need to do something about health care in this country - it is too expensive and too unavailable - but the insurance proposed is not going to do the job for Americans - Americans need health care - not necessarily health insurance. Lots of black americans are in the armed forces and serving overseas - yet, the VA hospitals are a national disgrace - why not put some money into making them good hospitals - and, moreover put some public clinics in them? Why not have the government help people with insurance when they are unemployed? If you have unemployment insurance, maybe you could be on Medicare? Why cut benefits for the elderly now..... What did Obama and his ilk actually do for Chicago? Did they create jobs? There are a million ways that this government could create jobs - from buying its computer chips from the USA; to working on our infrastructure; to building hospitals in poor communities - has any of that been done? And, what about the poor in foreclosure - why isn't the government helping the poor in foreclosure? There hasn't been any help. Complaining about Wall Street is not the answer. Meanwhile, Obama M lives a life of luxury - don't kid yourself - The administration should be supporting people in obtaining jobs, education, and helping small businesses - And, the black community and its families need jobs .... without work - families suffer, men don't want to be married because they can't support a family. Don't kid yourself, members of the NAACP - this man is not your friend - he secretly looks down on the black community - he thinks himself above it all. When has he been poor? When was he worried about whether his mother had food on the table or not having the money to take a child to the doctor? He went to private school; private colleges.....

All the negative misinformation coming from so many with access to so many is having the affect intended . I hope people will look, listen, read and think for themselves instead of listening to lies from media sources that remind me of the Reconstruction Era. thank you for putting the past year into thoughtful perspective.
