    Obama was a professor before his Senate position. His ideological positions were different before his political ambitions beamer successful. Cornel was correct in his assessment, I don't feel CNN accurately articulated his criticism

      Of course they didn’t. They wanted to make it look like he was just mad because he didn’t get invited to parties. The media failed miserably covering Obama. Obama was even spying and locking journalists up. Imagine Trump doing anything like that. Jesus is would be literally end of world type coverage.

      For sure Obama was disappointing, but i can’t even begin to imagine how much worse the Great Recession would have been if McCain won in 2008, or Romney in 2012. The recession would have almost certainly shifted into a depression with their economic policy, which was a continuation of George W. Bush’s standard conservative policy of tax cuts for the rich and deregulation. GOP haven’t shifted their economic philosophy one single bit in fifty years. The Reagan Revolution lifted up the wealthy owner class and completely destroyed the middle class.

      The more accurate thing to say with Obama is that he didn't grow up with African-American roots. His father was *from* Africa, and his mother white. His ancestry is not one that stemmed from slavery and 100s of years of system oppression. He didn't share many of the hurdles of systemic oppression that many in the black community faced or face today.

    2:22 The Unemployment rate for Black Americans is 16%? They consistently say this on the news but Black employment has always been double that of whites. That's just a fact. In fact, it's been like that for decades.The rate of school drop-outs is also double that of whites.The rate of 'born out of wedlock/single parent homes is close to triple. I'm not blaming anyone on this, it's just fact.They keep reporting that black unemployment is double but that's not new news. It's always been that way

      90% approval by Republican Party which is unheard of so he’s dojng something right. Even libs are sayin he’s winning and that hate it. Why think trying to hard to stop him. If he was an idiot who couldn’t get anything done he wouldn’t have people in such an emotional wreck.
      He’s putting judges in Supreme Court and throughout the country that will be here for decades and have a huge impact on our culture and country. He’s going to appoint a couple more SCOTUS and that’s a lifetime game changer. 😊 only about 6 years left with him in power unless he decides to go for a 3rd term. 😂😂😂 we can only hope.
