Remember, he inherited this mess. As far as African Americans getting jobs, we know who is in charge of that too. Look at this as an opportunity to start a new company, Mr. Obama has set up a lot of grants and programs to help you do that. Get out there and ask questions and find out how you can get some of it. Its available! So is grants for retraining yourself for the new jobs of the future. You can do it! It’s a shame what’s going on…however in no way would I blame it on our President.

However, the racial assumptions in your comment are such that I wouldn't even know where to begin to address what you've said. I suspect that's fine with you, as I can only imagine that these statements are intended to inflame, rather than to inform or to open a dialogue.

He is not creating jobs for black men and could care less. Black men have drugs to sell. It’s your career model right bros? Mr. Obama is creating jobs only for white folks and illegal aliens. Thanks man. Unless black men are willing to rise up and organize they can forget about work in America. Black men don’t help other black men. Obama is demonstrating this very nicely. So why should Obama and guys like me help? Mr. Obama is doing exactly what us white folks want. He is not creating jobs for black men and could care less. Black men have drugs to sell.
