@Givethanksforlife He never did. Black people assumed he did. That's where Obama took the black people for a ride.

Obama is a joke! He is not apart of the Black American legacy. He ruined it, and played on black people using his skin color. Shame on him, and it's so sad that many black folks don't even understand this (nor do many of them even care as long as he's black). Obama will never care about us black people (or Americans in general!) because he is NOT one of us!

@rainny2012 - I am glad that you see that this just doesn't effect the US. It effects us all worldwide. I see a lot of people moving out of the US, but eventually it will catch up with them. This collapse is global.

@JoyceJeffersonTV you got it in one, i'm in england and i'm watching america, cause when the u.s falls we will fall with them

[JoyceJeffersonTV]

@rainny2012 - Oh yeah, I saw that new campaign ad. It made my blood boil! I believe it will be a rigged election as well. A false flag attack (which he could call for martial law), which will automatically make him president again or election fraud.

@JoyceJeffersonTV and he is trying to do it again, thing is people will vote for him or he is getting in anyway, it will be fixed

Under Obama=16% unemployment rate for African Americans=highest since the great depression, over 50% of African American personal wealth has evaporated. Obama has nothing to offer black people in America except a black face on failed policy. I don't even consider him black, he talks down to people like a stuck up white liberal.

Obama is not the "Black president". He's the White and African American president. And sad to say, many Africans dislike Black people in America. Is Obama one of them? I'll let his own actions (or inaction) answer that question. He specifically targeted Whites (wallstreet}, Jews (15 billion to Israel a year), Latinos (immigration laws) with certain policies. Why not specifically targeted policies for Blacks? My guess is he's not a descendant of slaves to REALLY care what Blacks in America need.

Blacks are suffering becasuse they fail to practice the fundamentals of self-preservation. Black America consumes over $900 billion in goods and services. That amount is larger that most countries annual budget. That $900 billion if invested correctly within the black community would creat job opportunities for blacks. But NO! Negroes would rather blow their dollars on Nikes, Ciroc which is a white owned spirits company named Diageo, High European Luxury brands.

Barack Obama is the best choice because he has had a much bigger mess than reagan and all of the republican candidates seem to be racist and are pro corporate all the way.
