Or not. Republicans could care less about Black (or any other group's) unemployment.

He is different, Obama realizes that their isn't a presidential magic wand to instantly fix the economy which is why he wants to invest in things that can set the majority of Americans up to have a better future with educaton being the key. Investments don't always reap obvious rewards instantly. Republicans simply want to give further handouts to those that already have the most. We know this doesn't work but they want to keep doing it.

Why should minorities stand strong with Obama when his policies are making life worse for them?
Because the Republicans offer NO VIABLE alternative.

Damn, just the rhetoric from the likes of Limbaugh, Joe Walsh, and many others makes it obvious the Republican Party ranges to ambivalence to outright hatred when it comes to people of color.

You represent Liberal thought in this country. All Liberals agree with you.

No wonder minorities are leaving the Democratic party.

You're nuts.


"Jobs" are no viable alternative?
