Based on what?!?
And gosh do you have a low opinion of the intelligence etc. of the typical black american!!!
But, even if Obama fails to properly address our folks ills, yet another reason for us to return to the basics, as in grassroots politics...
Others expect Obama to be a new messiah:
I just expect him to be an effective elected official...
We continue to suffer because the present fella in the white house isn't!

Then that's also a bad reflection of where some (not all) in our midst are revealing about themselves (as in their own apathy and indifference aka their own social and political backwardness)...
All that's just Obama's fault too?
Pulease!
Some will continue to reap what they sow:
Nothing new or news about that either!
