Black Caucus To Meet With Obama About Jobs

Most of the Black Caucus voted against the $15 billion jobs bill that squeaked by the House last week.

Its always about "race" with some people. Stop complaining, no matter what race your are---if you see a problem, do something about it, make a positive change.

You spend more energy pointing fingers & complaining about blacks and hispanics, and Obama, than you do making changes to whatever "problems" or "issues" there may or may not be.
