all of them are puppets not just obama

Stop blaming Barack Obama for problems that have been plaguing our community loooooong before he even came along.  The stuff you are blaming him for is something that only your Local government and community leaders are better equipped to handle, not the Federal Govt. Get a civics book and learn about how our government works.

Watch a bit more cornell west. The presiden must be protected, respectedc and CORECTED. When he talks about whitesupremise he is talking about protecting.  Ps. I like and respect Cornell West but ihave no hope for the political and the monetery system.

People, I'm black. Stop supporting Barack Obama blindly. He's not done (or is doing) anything for our communities. We have the highest unemployment rates, especially our children, highest dropout rates, highest poverty rates, our communities are in peril. Keep it real. Barack never identified himself as black and is in fact afraid to say the word "black" Keep it real. Keep it real. Just because you're blind it does not mean you can't see.

I like how West just randomly throws in that comment about white supremacy. Seems like he just didnt want to finish his piece without mentioning white supremacy. Didnt quite make sense, was totally irrelevant, but he managed to shove it in there. I mean 'WS perception of Obama' what the hell does that mean, like anyone would think he's a white supremacist. Or like a bunch of skinheads are gunna go on TV to badmouth him. Why even say that.

Yea but that didnt make him a household name. Plus they referred to him as a candidate so they were definitely talking about the presidential election. Maybe I'm wrong but candidates usually start campaigning like for the 09' election they would start in the 2nd half of 07'. Well maybe I am wrong b/c West refereed to something he did & said it wasnt a good 'start' so hmm

it can be...take some time to look up how obama was on the map in 2005 when he appeared helping katrina victims with president bush and president clinton...he also delivered the keynote speech at the DNC back in 2004...obama has been on their map for some time he just came out to us during his presidential run
