Republicans aren't going to Black areas either. Most politicians don't go to Black areas.

I often wonder about that, too.

You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

If your above points were true, it further proves my conservative view that government should stay out of our business.

Thanks for playing!

I do think that he is a racist, but he will use whoever he needs to in order to get power.

AND....he will STEP on anyone to gain and maintain power.

I actually think that's part of the problem. If Obama does visit "Black areas" the media will highlight the Blackness of these areas in ways they wouldn't highlight the whiteness of white areas. The media may make too big a deal of Obama being in a Black area and I wonder if those in the administration realize this so it's recommended that he avoid these Black areas to avoid it being precieved that he's catering to Blacks.

What a load of crap.

Just admit that he doesn't want a spotlight on the failure of his policies.

Someone needs a good teabagging!

I couldn't care less about people who do nothing to help themselves, black or white.

I only brought it up because I saw maxine waters bring it up.

Obama tends to go for the blue collar/union type people.
They want to keep what they got and Obama knows that.

No, no Obama doesn't owe specifically blacks an explanation. Sociologists can offer blacks an explanation. After all, that's where the analyzation ought to come from. But does Obama owe an explanation on his policies or his presidential decisions to any specific ethnic group? No. Besides, what if he did address expressly blacks with why they are suffering economic woes? How many C-D posters would proclaim him racist for that, or accuse him of demonstrating race-based preferential treatment? Geez, I don't even want to think about it.

It seems to me that you do quite a bit of thinking in regards to liberal social policy and not enough time seeing the consequences of such.
