May 25, 2011 - Perceptions! I have committed missteps as a result of perceived responses instead of just carrying the task I was doing. Asking questions to clarify especially in business is not easy. This includes family and friends. Thanks blackplanet.

Jun 23, 2011 - do you think Obama considers you his brother?i don't think so, boy!
BolnoyBratchny Says:
Jul 6, 2011 - Obama is a disaster. He quadrupled Bush/Cheney's deficit. He increased the number of troops in Afghanistan. He went to war with Libya without the approval of congress which violated the war powers resolution, not even Bush did that.If Ron Paul is not elected this nation is headed for collapse.

Jan 17, 2012 - No your mixed race, most white people would say so too.
farcher3 Says:
Apr 24, 2012 - Now it is 4 years on in 2012 and things arer still bad for minorities & poor whites. there's no way Obama can escape taking no blame at all for the problems of america. I think we hate that somone is cirticizing the frist black president but at this point Dr west is right. And all this was said 4 years ago. Hopefully in 4 months Obama is pull out a miracle and turn thingsd around but it looks that West and other critics were right about him but we have until Nov 2012.........lets see.......

BuckandRider Says:
Apr 25, 2012 - This guy has one note. Spend, Spend, Spend. He certainly isn't an economist, or any type of professional that deals with empirical evidence, because all of the evidence has shown that government spending DOES NOT fix the problem. Let us be truly "progressive" by realizing that all this government spending hasn't solved problems.

May 5, 2012 - DO SOME RESEARCH. GO BACK TO SCHOOL EDUCATE YOURSELF WITH BOOKS NOT TELEVISION. YOU NEED HELP.
noblstei Says:
May 5, 2012 - HE IS NOT GOD. PULL YOURSELF UP WITH YOUR OWN BOOTSTRAPS.
BuckandRider Says:
May 6, 2012 - I am in school, and I have done the research. Government spending on education has skyrocketed yet US students fall in international rankings. We already spend over $1 trillion a year on the "war on poverty" and it has done little if anything to help. Since 1964 we have spent $15 trillion on fighting poverty yet the rate has never fallen below 10.5%. Don't believe everything your liberal professors tell you. Do some research on your own. DON'T BE A SHEEP
farcher3 Says:
May 8, 2012 - I like to pull up with bootstraps. That was Booker T. Washington.s message from 'up from slavery" It was a good one. BUT Obama presented himself as Jesus, not God in '08. The democrats & media tells the poor to look toward politicians for help and not help themselves. That said, Obama can only win in '12 with people thinking he can help, if not, people will stay home in '12 and Romney will win in a landslide. Obama doesn't want that niether dies the media.
farcher3 Says:
May 8, 2012 - Reagan clearly told americans to take any job they could get and he clearly did not work to help them out. Americanss got that message whether they liekd it or not & brought the unemployment rate down by '84. The media fooloishly pumped Obama up so much until they didn't do anyrthing for 2 years! The media oversold Obama to make sure he won in '08. the left are told that they have to accept handouts while the right is told to suffer through pain. Maybe obama is ibn the wrong party?
farcher3 Says:
May 8, 2012 - But you are basically right with your reply though. No matter what happend in Nov '12. Minorities & poor whites should depend on themselves and create independent community & state structures that better insulate them from economic crises like the ones in '29 & '07. politicians+media no matter the party promise the world & deliver nothing while wall street & corporations literally laugh all the way to the bank. Thanks for the reply. peace

May 19, 2012 - Cornell, please. Anyone with half a brain knows who you're funded by. "Centrist advisors"??? LOL!! I bet you thought you were being smart by that comment. I guess he's supposed to be leftist (code word for Communist), right? Don't get me started. Obummer is a puppet. nuff said.
