Even the Congressional Black Congress has caught on to the fact that Obama is a servent of the corporate power mongers, and has no interest in protecting Dem Party values by fighting for working class Americans.

Dems are watching SS Obama steam toward a head-on collision with the Rick Perry iceberg. Do we have the courage to change course before it's too late?

Or are we just going to stand on the deck with our hands over our eyes

Dump Obama 2012

I doubt the blacks are going to "dump" Obama in 2012.

Who else would they stand behind? The far right extremist running on the GOP ticket?

Blacks will still vote for Obama, you can count on that. Not at the level they did in 2008, but they will still vote for him. Hell, Obama can say I hate the black race tomorrow, and they'll STILL vote for him!

The black community has probably suffered the MOST under his policies. Can't say as I blame them.

Exactly this is poltical posturing by the CBC. At the end of the day they are much better served falling back into line than being totally ineffective without the rest of the support of the Democratic caucus.

The Black Community suffered the most under Reagans policies.

So what's your point?

Recessions and economic downturns tend to hurt Black Americans more than White Americans. Most Black Americans old enough to have been through some hard times know this. They also are aware some of the tactics that have been used to against President Obama and take that into consideration.

The Republican Party has made it perfectly clear they are willing to jeopardize the full faith and credit of the United States as well as economic stability in an attempt to score political points and make President Obama a one term president. They are on the record for having said that.

Yeah, the CBC and black politicians/leaders have really lifted the black community up the last 50 years, haven't they?

One day, the black community will realize the democrats are only interested in keeping them poor, illiterate and dependent on government for their livelihood.

The black community has been DEVASTATED since obama's been in office. That is just a FACT.
