Good idea, the current poll is out of date. A lot of people who previously supported Obama (including me) have since changed their mind. It'd be interesting to see what the results are now.

Let's see how many jobs Obama creates....
Here we go again... Man, I, for one, lost my job under Clinton. And, this loss was to no fault of my own. Clinton simply did not give a hoot about an African man, a father, a husband a head of household lossing his job. Furthermore, there were and are absolutely no replacement jobs available. My job paid nearly 100k's per year. The jobs that Clinton "created" pay onlt about 15K per year. Do you think you are talking to a fool?

Name the "two strikes" against me. It amazes me that you never seem to hesitate about threatening people in this forum. The Clinton people and people like you cost me a huge sum in potenmtial income. I am just now beginning to recover. And, you expect me to suffer in silence? No way.

Clinton "created" a bunch of minimum wage jobs to replace good paying jobs with benefits. He shipped the good jobs overseas. Only a moron would bragg about this. As for me, I hate nothing for Clinton. And, I refuse to keep quiet.

Yeah, it's Clinton's fault you are still recovering from your job loss well over a decade ago, lol! Get real!
If you know of a President that created more job growth for blacks than Clinton, regardless of your ridiculous opinion of wages, I'd love to hear it. But you've already proven you can't objectively respond to a debated point. Besides, this thread is not really about him anyway.

Bottom line is blacks will lose more jobs under Obama's watch.

No doubt. We must be factual and stay abreast of what's happening on the chat.

True enough. One can only hope that a change in the Presidential cabinet can influence some changes within the Justice Department . Of course, Clinton(the so called Black President To Some) let it be known about where his real allegience is in the colorline when he withdrew Sista Lani Guinier's nomination for the position of Head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.



In July 1998 when she joined the faculty, Lani Guinier became the first black woman tenured professor in Harvard Law School's history.

I know this is a heated discussion, but let's try and stay on topic.
