In 2008 in I was thrilled. In 2012, since I don't like the direction my country has been going in and because, frankly, I don't like Obama's policies, I was deeply saddened. No community has been as negatively affected by Obama's policies as the black community, and yet, we re-elected him in droves. I don't want to lose our black middle class and we are.
See I think that's an individual thing. I'm black and I suppose I would be called middle class. Things have NEVER been better for me and my family and so it's hard for me to see how the black middle class has been negatively impacted. Are there black people struggling? Absolutely. But not all of us.
You really have not been paying attention to what that incompetent communist has been doing to this country, have you? If the country survives another four years it will be a miracle..
This place will resemble a third world country if the good republicans don't stop this traitor.
You guys have been saying that for the past 4 years and when is the great collapse into 3rd world country going to happen? Things have never been better for me and many people I know. It could always be better, but i get tired of this sky is falling nonsense. You should pay "more attention" to the history of this great nation and realize we have overcome FAR more than anything we face today.
Please name a single policy that negatively affected African Americans.
"Despite giving lip service to education reform, the Obama administration has decided to put an end to the very successful D.C. school voucher program."
The reality is poor people get more adversely affected when the economy is bad.
The reality is also that many Black people people were disproportionately affected when states and especially state where the Republicans controlled the legislature and governor's position announced cutbacks to state employees.
Do really think you would have done any better with John McCain or Mitt Romney or a Republican majority in Congress?
In the modern era, on the three occasions that Republicans controlled both houses of Congress (1947-48, 1995-00 and 2003-06), unemployment declined and either the annual deficit was reduced or the budget was balanced.

I really wish they would give me a certain date to know when we become a 3rd world country.
I have a sneaking suspicion you would support Affordable Health Care (Romneycare) (R) but oppose Affordable Health Care (Obamacare) (D) although the two are one and the same, individual mandate and all. Likewise.. NAFTA which we all know as a bad thing (D) was crafted and loaded in the syringe by Bush (R) but the shot was given by Clinton (D) so Republicans could distance themselves from any negative backlash but also take praise for any positive effect on the fortunes of Global Capitalists.

I oppose the Affordable Healthcare Act (federal) because Congress has no Constitutional authority to require a civilian to purchase anything.
I care less about Romney Care because it's a state program for which no Constitutional prohibitions exist.
If the people of MA are happy, I'm happy for them.
Who loaded the 2000 China Trade Act in Clinton's syringe?
I was wondering if the election of Barack Obama and especially the convincing re election has changed your outlook on the country, on white people and the future of your children and grandchildren?
I for one am probably the most proud I have ever been of my country. I didn't think it was possible in 2008 and even thought I felt that Barack deserved another 4 years I had my doubts the people would give it to him.
I think the thing that has surprised most of the doubters, and especially the Democrats with racist tendencies is that Barack has been a pretty typical Democratic President. He's not going after people's guns, in fact he has been pretty much neutral on the subject. He's been very fair in his appointments, has shown no racial favoritism at all.
Are we finally coming together as a people? 147 years after the last shot was fired in the Civil War?
I like to think so.
I guess I'm too young to know...I came of age when he being the first black president was like "cool, i guess..."
I guess it's been like so many "first black x's" that it's getting a bit old...
