    you wouldn't agree with the audience or waters, you see a video of someone criticizing the president and you post it.

    both the audience and waters don't think the president's programs have been liberal enough for blacks.

    you are right in that i would not, could not, agree w/ waters, who may be the largest idiot in a chamber rife with them.

    the audience however, appears to want policies that help the black community. cutting spending, holding the line on taxes, would do just that, so it's not clear to me that they don't think he's "liberal" enough.

    if you think that's what black folks want, holing the line on taxes, either you're lying or that far out of touch.

    black folks in detroit want lower spending from the fed. that's rich

    Hasn't it been three years? How much longer does the AA community need to wait before they judge him as they would any other President or government official...

    Just from the one listen that I got from it, they are judging him, but at the same time they are saying
    Give him more time, Give him every opportunity, ect
    Sometimes I feel like the AA community supports Obama because of his race and not much else..
    no racist

    Oh I don't know; the 90% approval he gets from the AA community would indicate to me that he's doing quite fine with that demographic.

    There are approximately 1 billion "black folks" on the planet at last count ( give or take a few million). What makes you qualified to know what goes on within such a large percentage of the world's population (Lets not even get into the many ethnic and cultural groups)

    And I also know AA that don't support him. My point is that it feels like a majority support him beyond his policies and simply on a matter of race.

    What about their support of him makes you think it's about race and not support because they agree with him on most issues?
