Well now, that's NOT his fault. If we would just grant him a wee bit more Imperial...oh...I mean executive..power, then those pesky little insignificantcies , like Congress and the Constitution, could be relegated to our tainted history, and real progress can be made. A glorious future awaits, if we just have hope, and accept change. What was it Xerces' messenger said to Leonidas? Ah, Earth and Water. Mere tokens of submission, and all will be well.
Although flesh and blood would be more appropriate in this case. No slacking!! Then, the US can take its rightful place as lead nation in a new Global family.

I am not motivated.

I don't wish to be community-organized like Chicago is.

— Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.”

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”

Today, the Government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land… to China. —

How does a rich black person not benefit, then? Just because black leaders, the media and the President never mention them, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Sounds more like Rvvvvvrrrnd Jackson than the president.

Obama urges black community to 'march with me' - CNN.com
I am truly surprise that the Black Community even support President Obama . High Black Unemployment and Underemployment. If President would enforce our boarders and be pro business we would not have these problems.

The fact is the Black community is still in the same place and they watch as jobs are given to Illegals and our industry is taxed to the point the minimum staff. Its no wonder they ask fro15.00 per hour at McDonalds.

Across the board, with business in America, little things like service, quality, true efficiency and working schedules and conditions that don't stress employees to the limit, have been sacrificed on the altar of more with less and "lean" operations. There are no jobs available to the black community, well, there are no jobs available for ANYONE. So, who does Obama expect to "march" on? What possible good will it do for the black community to form ranks and demand jobs?
Everybody else is in the same swamped lifeboat. Yet, here's Obama. Going to lead his people out of the quagmire. Seems, to me, that with all the money that was just spent, so he could give this rousing speech, some actual businesses, that need employees and produce usable products and/or services could have been started.
Organizations like the NAACP et all collect a large amount of money in donations. From lots of sources. Instead of "organizing" conventions and marches, why not start some businesses? Actually put "their" people to work? Native Americans do it. There are a LOT of tribal authorities that use the money they receive in donations, subsidies etc, to start all manner of businesses, on and off reservation land, and create jobs. They even PROFIT in these businesses. Imagine that.
But here's Sbarpton and company, rolling in cheddar, demanding that someone else create jobs for "their" people? And they're going to MARCH!!! If the black community is in such dire straits for work, which they are and so is every other "community", I submit that their "leaders" quit running their mouths, and spending copious amounts of money doing so, and actually DO something.
