In this video, a representative of the black community shows up to the White House to advocate for black America.  The president isn't happy about the visit, but hears the man out anyway.  We think it's pretty funny"

This video points out a lot of truth based on the perception of the viewers.  The comments section although (as always) is was where it got crunk.  It amazes me the different pivots that the urban community take on this man.  Many professional urban American (who have rightly earned their status) take attacks on Barack Obama very personal ( I don't know why because his performance and their status have nothing to do with the other).  Barack Obama's critics have a right to their opinion as do the urban professionals theirs, but at the end of the day, you either did the job or you didn't (point blank).  That the republicans didn't cooperate with him (did he really expect them to?) will not cut it.  The issues in the urban community are very personal cultural issues that are way bigger than this guy or any politicians performance.  So to attack each other as a community is fruitless (black's giving other blacks to slavetraders is sort of how urban Americans got here in America in the first place I thought. #JustSayin).

So let's judge this man on whether he got the job done for America and do not allow our own personal class wars to overshadow the issues at hand (quite frankly since I'm neither republican or democrat, I'm a capitalist. His assuming that the republicans, the defense community, the defense contractor and the Intelligence communities were going to be cooperative was at best niave, at worst arrogant.  I don't know I'll just judge whether he gets the job done as a whole.

My father was very active in the civil rights movement in his community and constantly had to deal with individuals whose  agendas did not match hiss, but by being prepared and seasoned to social situations, he created bridges that both agendas could live with (much respect Raymond F.).  President Obama has to get this skill in his skill set (for real).
