I interpreted it as a change back to certain civil liberties, checks and balances of government, transparency of government,
a resurgence of industry in terms of goods and services
produced in america by it's citizens.
I'm wondering if president Obama had a different interpretation of the word.
I have to agree with you and I voted for the man.
But my rationale in voting for President Obama was to vote for the lesser of two evils so to speak.
I had concerns during his run for the presidency with his campaign montra of "Change".
In that the word "Change" for the average citizen, Well I should speak for myself, I interpreted it as a change back to certain civil liberties, checks and balances of government, transparency of government,
a resurgence of industry in terms of goods and services
produced in america by it's citizens.
I'm wondering if president Obama had a different interpretation of the word.
In time, people will make this deduction and turn off the quixotic and ineffectual ranting of "The One"
Funny thing is i always see Black folks, young and old, in my area wearing Obama hats, t shirts, etc. But when you ask them how they feel about the job he's doing, they get a brain freeze. White folks voted for him out of fear and 90% out of the 95% of Black folks voted for him because on the outside he resembles of a Black man.
You guys are cool. I love the discussion but Emotions are running to high in this thread for constructive talk now.
Speaking as one of those people, we were not convinced through our upbringing that white people are on some level we should aspire to be on.
..this is true, I grew up with the same mentality as well as my other sibblings.
No...you interpreted that correctly. So how do you feel now knowing that he lied about ever single thing you typed? Does it seem like more of the same BS we got from previous Presidents?
Keep it 100!
No change in trade policies.....
No updates on where all of OUR money went..when he said himself that he would set up some shit on a website so we can monitor OUR cash.
etc etc etc
blah blah blah
I mean, isnt it clear that he's not running the show?
I admitted that i voted for him because of my own stupidty.
But i wonder how others feel. Now that we know all that "Change" shit was just him spitting game/being another BS'n politician. how do his supporters percieve him now?

According to Obama's Social Secretary, Obama is a brand, not a President. I DIDN'T KNOW THIS!!!
And thats the way Obama bosses will use him. Tha same way they used Bush to push their BS policies, theyre gonna use Obama the same way. Mainly because he's searching for more clout and they know he wil accept it.
A lot of Obama's supporters on BGOL dont wanna admit that he's fucking up with all the BS talk and forcing of governmental control. Theyre tryign to give him a chance because he the first Black president. Subconsciously, a lot of Obama's Black supporters are supporting him based off their emotions. They know the world is on his shoulders so Black folks wanna stick together for the sake of making Obama's first 4 years look good. Even if it means they have to co-sign BS. Theyll find a way to justify his fuck ups instead of admitting that he's fucking up.
Instead of focusing on Obama's growing celebrity status, I think we need to focus more on our freedom's, the money thats being taken from us and the BS our government is force feeding us all because some Lobbyists want things to go their way. Just because he's Obama, that doesnt me he shouldnt feel pressure from the American people.
let me guess; ur hoping everyone falls in line behind YOU.
fuk outta here

So Obama's not Black?
Perhaps then he should act like the useless Jesse Jackson to prove he's Black?
Or maybe like the equally useless Tavis Smiley right?
And who do you think would do a better job as president?
And it has to be someone who actually has a chance of winning the presidency, and isn't considered a joke nationally.
So that means Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, and others can't be considered.

So you want The President of the United States to blame white people for the problems in the Black community?
That would never work politically.
And it's illogical given that the Black community could be achieving at a much higher level than it is, even despite the racism that it has to deal with.
Because African Immigrants and other Black immigrants seem to be doing extremely well in the racist US system.
Primarily because they work hard and don't let racism, which is is not even close to as severe as it used to be 30 years ago, stop them from achieving.
So using racism as an excuse for failure just doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible that both sides are wrong? That maybe "some" blacks are not taking responsibility for managing their lives and being productive members of the community and society? How the fuck does africans and carribbean peoples get off the fucking boat and become sucessful coming from worse cases of poverty, violence, and racial injustice and cats born here in the most wealthiest country can't even graduate from middle school?

im not an obama apologist by any means and i do think at times he starts to slip into this mentality of feeling like he has to criticize in order to appease the more conservative faction of the country, BUT... i think part of his thought process is to say that despite the many structural challenges that blacks face, there are still a lot of things that individuals can do to lift themselves out of their situations. yes, there is a problem of lack of opportunities for inner city children, but that doesn't mean that for instance parents shouldn't play a more active role in their kid's educations, etc.
WELL SAID MY BROTHER... But you're wrong...
How are you wrong???
You're trying to anticipate his thought process (as you put it)...
His black skin makes you think he's doing shit for you...
Have you ever seen fine-ass Melrose Foxx drink PISS with a toilet seat on her head???
Have you ever seen Marie Luv take WHITE dicks in every hole???
Were they doing that FOR YOU, or for the sake of BLACK PEOPLE??? If not, why did these attractive, Beautiful BLACK WOMEN do it (for some WHITE guys to say the least)???
Money, power, and Prestige is a muhfucca. Obama is MELROSE FOXX....
He is also Marie Luv... (getting fucked in the ass (BY WHITE BOYS) and selling it to you as if it was GOLD).
... VISUALIZE THAT!!!
WHO?![]()
c/s... Obama wont address the other side of the equation, which is white supremacy... He's cool with standing up in front of Black audiences and "telling it like it is", but he fails to tell anyone else "like it is"... thats my issue with it... tell it all, or shut the fuck up.
NO, YOU GTFOH!!!

Tsk Tsk Tsk... YOU were the first one to throw stones...
Don't get SALTY NOW...
REMEMBER THIS?
gotdam right. son of a bitch aint doin nothin but using us as talking points to please massa.Obama will never go to Wall Street and call them on their bullshit. Lets see him go tell Monsanto what their evil policies are doing to the third world. Lets see him go tell the IMF to stop raping the 3rd world with their policies. He won't do it because he's a puppet who they put up to fool people. Its brilliant really - get a guy with black skin, african roots and church swag he jacked from a real revolutionary (Reverend Wright) to sell the wars and economic slavery of a morally bankrupt system.
the president is supposed to do more than "speak" and the point is chastising black folk while not calling wall street and monsanto on their shit is just exposing this half a cracka as a fake."Obama is a tom, he don't speak on black issues"
"How dare Obama sternly speak on black people issues"
Pick one you inconsistent BITCHES!
