You know rather you like Obama or not that would take some balls to get up in front of folks of your race when you are trying to get there vote and tell them what they are doing wrong and what to do to fix it.
    I don't like what Obama stands for most of the time. I'm man enough to admit that he is dead on with his statements on the Black Community. Stats have shown that their community has a major problem with this especially in the inner city. Many other people have said this in the past but this is the first Presidential Candidate who had the guts to say it and my hat is off to him. He has gone further than any other Black man in politics and it pisses J.J. off....plain and simple. J.J. has always taken the victim approach and half empty approach to get his millions but it never awarded him his most prized desire....POWER!! If Obama is elected he is in for the battle of a lifetime with the Black Community because alot of them will think that some additional/special advancements will be made because they are Black. I don't think so, I think he will be their worst nightmare. I think the double standard of another race saying things like this compared to a Black man saying it is disgusting but that's the guilt trip that has been layed upon all americans by the Black Community. They can state facts but non Black people cannot? What has happened? Jesse says it and will march on and live life but Don Imus and countless others say minor things and they get fired and pushed to the curb? How is that justice? They never said anything so gruesome or out of line as an attack on a fellow american? It's wrong.
    I'm amazed at how many people assume that all we have is White america and Black america. We have other races here in this country but most people fall into the trap of two races and that is wrong and it shows ignorance of the facts. The Hispanic vote alone could decide this whole election!
