Obama is spending us into a blind state of uncontrolled debt.  Hope, you say.  What about transparency.  He has not been true to his word.  What about fairness of the law.  His leadership at the US Attorney General's office allowed thugs who intimidated people on Election Day to get away with it.  You say he is smart; I do believe he is an intelligent man.  But not a wise man, he is blinded by his ideology that seems to be well based in the Chicago way.  How about the decision to try terrorist in NY?  It is all about politics of destruction.  Obama and his ideologs are hell bent on doing what the media did a pretty good job at - defaming President Bush.  I pray his decision will not result in a stirring of hate by the radical terrorist of the world.

I'll give you one thing that the Republicans did to help minorities - Welfare Reform.  Yeah, Clinton signed it but Republicans pushed it.  I have seen first hand where blacks who desired to lift themselves up were able to do so by taking advantage of job training initiatives made a reality by welfare reform.  The Republican platform is about less government and more private inovativeness.  Yeah I agree there too many self serving politicians both Republicans and Democrats in DC.  But what is better, a party (dems) who only serve to hold down (not intentionally, I think) the black race or a party that gives a man a chance to be creative, innovative and successful if he works hard.  If you disagree, then give me an answer to the following question.  Why are so many Asians able to come here, work hard and create successful businesses?  I see the same with Hispanics.  What blacks need is someone willing to break the cycle, someone to deal with the high number of children without a father (not simply trying to supplant with father like figures).

So keep supporting the liberal left Dems like Obama and see what you get.  Greater debt, token handouts for blacks that keep them in the horrible poverty cycle and anything but the transparency promised during the election!  To say there is not an opportunity for blacks in this country is bull!  Education is free for those willing to take advantage of it.  My father (yes a white man) was the oldest of six when his father died during the depression.  Not even a teenager, he became the head of a poverty stricken house hold.  He managed to finish high school, go to college and earn an MBA from one of best colleges in the country.  Not to mention, he served our country in WWII.  So dont tell me opportunity is not available.  Also, dont tell me even in this economy it is tougher than what my father had to deal with.  The key was that he had the desire and support/encouragement of family and friends.
