Obama Mentions Black Unemployment in Speech to Sharpton Group

President Obama spoke at the National Action Network’s All the Keepers of the Dream gala tonight in New York. He used his speech, in part, to address black unemployment. This was a subject many members of the Congressional Black Caucus wanted him to address in the State of Union in January.

Yeah, sure Obummer, its as always a Black/White issue. This clown, who was supposed to make race issues better, has done the opposite. Just made the racial rift wider during his Term.
MAD

Obummer has gotta go!!!!!!

Well maybe someone can explain this to me. PA Governor Corbett (R), you may remember him from the 2010 elections. He was the person who said "Philadelphia has plenty of job openings". At the time Philly had a 10.4% unemployment rate. Well the other day he said "I want Pennsylvania to be the Texas of the Northeastern States." What the f does that mean? Should I take a course in Southern speech or maybe have my teeth removed. I just don't get it. Maybe he wants to be a Bush. Is this like New York City is to Los Angeles? Man, this guy is a dreamer. Corbett for President maybe...what a statement.

Just Dazed

Well, you will always have a republican to vote for in 2012. They have such a good recent history with race relations.

For the record, I think you're waaaay mis-interpreting this. He is speaking to a group of African-American's, his speech will probably be tailored toward African-Americans. The first rule of public speaking is to speak to your audience.
