Study: Black Americans Feel Less Empowered Under Obama Than They Once Did

Four years after Barack Obama was elected president, this is not exactly a "post-racial" America.
A new study from Washington University in St. Louis finds that under Obama, many black Americans feel less free than whites when it comes to political participation.
From 2005 to 2011, only 45 percent of blacks said they believed the government would allow them to make a public speech, while 67 percent of whites believed they could, the study found.

Its a real shame that blacks only vote for someone because they are black,what a waste of a vote,do whats right for the country NOT because he is BLACK.

If Obama was a true patriot he call a press conference and say,
" My fellow Americans,I have looked at our country and I have failed you.
I truly did a miserable job.
G.W. Bush didn't create this mess, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed did it when they took over congress near the end of Bush's term. We as democrats had complete control of our Government for the first two years of my Presidency and we blew it.
I have only made it worse by lying to you trying to convince you things are better. I realize what a REAL mess I've made and as an American citizen I want whats best for my country. Therefore, I am endorsing Mitt Romney for President and will resign immediately if re-elected.
Allah bless America..."

Well, you are idiots, and will be treated as such. When you act like the "Obamaphone" woman, you are taken at face value. There should be no adjustments to this.

62, you're an idiot for believing all blacks act like some random chick someone with a clear political agenda carted out for the sole purpose of influencing your opinion.

As for this post, with the amount of money funding both sides in the election, we should all be feeling less empowered. Especially since there are so many idiot like 620 who soak up everything they see on tv and the internet paid for by that money.
