LOL!!! All Barack is expected to be is a good President. If he does that, it will do wonders for black Americans and all other Americans. If he does a lousy job, all blacks will be discredited by whites. It's unfortunate that we get painted with this type of "brush stroke" when it doesn't apply to whites for horrible Presidents like Bush Jr. but it's the way it is.

Yeah. That's all the repubs have left - empty, meaningless laughter.
I have no hatred for Bush. How can you hate an animal that has been challenged from birth? How do you hate a special needs kid?
You cannot.
I do strongly resent those who voted for him.
I, and many others saw this mess coming before he even took office. If the repubs could look at media that their spin doctors don't control, they too would have seen this coming and avoided this catastrophe.
Now, the entire country suffers because of the blindness of the repubs.
Sad, really.
You would think they would at least have the honor to apologize to the rest of the world.

Too bad McCain didn't win and continue to make things good for white Americans. Hurts to be not quite all important does it? Somethng that you're not quite used to and change is hard. I am so sorry, so very very sorry. Rest assured, I am crying with you, not at you.

Or will his most important constituency hypocritically say that everything he did was right, and that he is the saviour of the world, even if conditions within the black community continued to nose dive in his presidential term?
President Obama already won. He is attempting to improve the lot of ALL Americans, blacks will benefit because they ARE Americans. Funny how the talk of welfare and such seems to imply that the majority of blacks are using such programs, sounds a bit rac.... to me but maybe it was not meant to, jusat sounded a bit off from here.

the only thing that's going to improve black america is black america themselves... but seriously I'm sick of this us and them mentality... last time I checked we're all americans...
If anything the election of obama shows that a black man can be president... and that white america is not objected to someone because of their race... I think that has been a big hangup for black america for too long.. so now it's time for biggoted racists to shut up and go hide out in their caves with their guns and few IQ points... and time for black americans to rise to the occasion, and know that what stood in the way for them so many years is breaking away... and the time of personal accountability is upon them to succeed.... as it is for everyone...

Indeed, as it is for everyone. Shocking personal accountability talk, coming from a Democrat. I'll have to rep you for that.
