Whether black, white, democrat, republician or indepedent. Yes, they make very important decision, but do they really make those decisisons themselves.
I think thats where the trouble lies. Thread after thread about obama, but nothing on those in the house. None on the individuals in the house. Aren't they suppose to represents (if u believe that but if u don't pretend). I really think our elected representatives seem to get forgotten about.
And whomever said that he's running for president of American and not black America is a 1000 percent correct. And simply, if u don't like him, then don't vote for him. He doesn't share you views, your vision, then don't vote for him.

Several answers to your question:
Individual Senators and House Representatives have far little impact than what a president can effect.
You need to go back and read more posts here. We have grilled tons of white politicians. Take some time to read more.
This is a discussion forum. We discuss. You seem to have no problem in supporting and ranting about issues you like, so show the same tolerance for others that share a different viewpoint. To have a philosophy and viewpoint, and to be willing to exchange it with others intelligently, is what discussion forums is all about.
