Some say the President isn't doing enough for blacks in terms of unemployment among other issues.But as it has been discussed are we blacks, prepared to fight the Robots or do we continue to blame The Black President. http://blackamericaweb.com/98145/a-bleak-future-for-the-unprepared/ |

I prepare any person in my immediate area on how to prepare for a job, what to say, resume writing, what to wear, all that shit. People can wait on Obama to give them jobs while sitting on they ass if they want to. |

It's an issue that goes back 100 years,since the start of the industrial revolution. Of course black folks will be impacted the most as you imply, but it's an issue to be addressed. Funny you mentioned BO on this cause any individual who seems to draw a parallel between himself and MLK would look at ways to address this. BO however sets up a job council that did basically nothing. He just dismantled it after his re-election. In retrospect it's purpose was to protect his job. What could have been done which was talked about even before there was an obama was having an industrial policy which serves the best interest of the people. So specifically things like putting in place high tariffs for products imported here that used to be manufactured here. Some of this money could be used to set up enterprise zones to give tax breaks for companies to move into areas of high unemployment and to fund/provide seed money for entrepreneurs in those areas. That is but one example of addressing issues. There are many others. That said, our elected officials have been completely and utterly corrupted by corporate money and each year it becomes increasing difficult to establish more liberal, more radical policies. The current policy is as Greenspan advocated, a workforce that is low wage and under stress due to competion from foreign workers. |

Please don't tell me you forgot how his infrastructure plan got shot down.....please. Putting aside differences, The era of technology opened up a giant can of worms that a lot of us did not make any attempt to side step. Thirty years + ago , I remember Goodyear T&R, by-passing automation to a degree, but that same plant is about 60% automated now. People work contract now about 6 months on,6off.Of course a lot of that has to do will sales slumps. Earth-mover tires are not in big demand in the US ...but across the pond there are 2 more huge earth-mover tire factory's in Europe/Africa. so guess who gets shortchanged again. The govt doesn't need to nor can they really address these kinds of issues because they are created by private conglomerations.When the shift occurs people need to get off the azzez and find another field to make up the difference, go back to school during that down-turn. |

She's saying, it sounds like you're not giving President Obama any credit for his plan for America's Infrastructure. |

Well, it wasn't what I addressed but we can engage in a little execise in critical thinking on this infrastructure issue. Obama made infrastructure spending part of his 2008 campaign. It would have the 2 fold effect of employing many americans and repair our deteriorating infrastructure. Obama introduced a infrastructure plan in 2011. The House and Senate eventually reject his plan. Now comes the critical thinking. He had 2 years of complete democratic control to introduce this and did nothing. In fact when unemployment hit it's highest in 2010 before repub take over in the house, he didn't do it. Instead he waited till repub control of the house to do it. Anyone paying any attention knowing repubs knew this wasn't gonna pass the house. Obama knew this as well. In fact it didn't even pass the senate which still had dem control but the excuse was they needed 60 votes. The bottom line is neither obama and the dems, and obviously the repubs wanted this. If bo wanted this he would have done so by 2010 when official unemployment was just over 10%. What about the senate you say. Well the 60 vote filibuster rhetoric is just for public consumption for excuse making, especially by dems. They didn't have 60 votes for obamacare but they still passed it with out a single repub vote through reconcilliation. As a sidenote, recently the senate quietly decided to keep the 60 vote instead of a simple 51 vote rule even as dem Reid publicly opposed the 60 vote filibuster rule. That's because the dems are playing a game. They wanna publicly blame repubs while at the same time support repub policies. The giveaway here is the so-called liberal dems also supported keeping the 60 vote rule like Boxer, Feinstein, and Leahy. Can't remember how Reid voted but he wasn't exactly pushing this. So to wrap up, the point is obama was never interested in infrastructure or a jobs bill. It was just more of his campaign bullshit. Just like his jobs council that didn't have any formal meetings; comprised of people who offshored jobs; and he dismantled after his re-election. This was all about symbolism and keeping his job like so much of what he markets to those willingly eager to buy it. He knew repubs in the house would never pass it and quite frankly in the senate as well unless he pushed it. He's just fulla shit. At this point after 4 years if people don't get it, it's not his fault. It's those who are willing to be blinded by a so-called black man in the white house. |

That negros in general are behind the curve, are ill prepared and destined to remain so, is a foregone conclusion. I'ld love to see anyone's evidence otherwise. There's nothing any impotent president can do to change the situation, the predicament is part and partial to the wider agenda. Negros are in some ways direct caualties, and in some respects collateral casualties, but casualties none the less. What is important to the rulers and their pointman is forwarding the agenda, irrespective to negros. |

You're forgetting about all the other crises and BS that popped up during that same time frame. Arguing w/ "Pertrusion" over bringing back the troops, natural disasters, media disasters, Unemployment disasters, but that's OK I know you don't care for him and that's your prerogative but at least be honest. Even you and all of your "infinite wisdom" wouldn't have been able to juggle all of that shit w/o leaving something undone. Interesting how you hone in on the Dem's most of the time and totally leave out the role of the Pubby's. It's irrelevant on who had control of what, when the outcome is more important....and obviously the Dems had "control" in numbers which didn't matter did it. Out of all you have said you still neglect to see the whole picture. But that's OK too. You keep thinking as you do and when the Pubby's balk at whatever the next 4 years you'll remember this discussion about WHY. As you notice I rarely speak in terms of percentages, polls, or what the media spews, I speak from experience and what the reality of issues are. I spent a long time doing investigations and i know how to question something that's not adding up...... far too many holes in the Pubby's presentation. |
