			<description><![CDATA[What really needs to be addressed here is Mr. Raynard Jackson' lack of perception, critical thinking and analysis. All this coming from a man who carries the Republican banner, but says that, after being a "proud' member for over 20 years, the Republican Party has abandoned him. Then why stay with them if you've been abandoned? An abandoned infant will seek out a new family, not stay were it is obviously not wanted. Before you, Mr. Raynard Jackson, will be taken seriously as a political expert, analyst, commentator, critic, etc., you must deal with your own faults, shortcomings and defects. It would be wise for you to first wake up, or shut the hell up. Until then, African Americans have bigger fish to fry rather than pay attention to your mindless and unproductive rants. From reading many of your past opinion columns and media articles, you have not only been wrong a lot of times, you have been "dead wrong," too numerous to mention now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hell, just the sincere love and devotion to his "black" wife and children surely qualifies him as being "black enough." What better role model for young black boys and girl could you ask for? And on the other subjects mentioned in this rant, Obama has in four years: rescued the US economy from the disastrous policies of Mr. Raynard Jackson's Republican cronies; revived the US standing on the world stage to the point we are respected and admired again; fought for the middle and lower class citizens on taxes, social issues, education and voting rights; and restored a sense of decency to the White House. How's that for a starter and he isn't finished yet! (see next comment for the conclusion)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Once again we have the so called "Black Republican," Mr. Raynard Jackson, bellyaching over Barack Obama's so called lack of support for the black community. That the POTUS does not have a "black agenda." Praising Jesse Jackson for "getting it right on Obama." Yet, Mr. Raynard Jackson fails to take into consideration, as usual, the daunting task of running for and becoming the first "black" president. Having to deal with questions of his "blackness" from the black community while having to run the gauntlet of bigotry, racism and hatred from the white community. Wake up Raynard or shut the hell up!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can not believe the Blacks or this nation which is headed for destruction, thanks to obama. We know this man is evil, immoral,arrogan t, untouchable, a fraud, a known criminal, a crackhead/junki e, an undocumented worker, a liar, and a dictator, the list goes on.......God is good and I know it's a matter of time for this man. Wake up America and take off your blinders. This is the way our government work. Our leaders are afraid to act on information given to them, Congress, Supreme Court, Senate,The House of Representative, local and state representatives ,F.B.I. S.B.I and mainstream media to name a few. If I am wrong I will be the first to say I was wrong.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The last image that I have of Rev. Jesse Jackson was when when he was very emotional during Pres. Obama's inauguration. That was quite a moment for us all. Now, let's assume that is was really possible for B-POTUS after spending some time in that other "White House" (his grand parents) as a kid somehow became "white minded' (LOL) to the point where he cannot connect with us Blacks, then we should also assume that he is not connecting to his wife and kids because they are black. Doesn't that make sense? Perhaps they see him as a minority in the household and because of that they must be treating him poorly? I think we need to really stop limiting ourselves to such extent. If you were POTUS what would you have done (for me)?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What Rev. Jackson said about the president is totally true. It is what it is. He's a politician. And yes, he was raised by white folks so he really has no connection to the Black family in this country!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Obama is not a civil rights leader. He is not black folk's savior. He's not the second coming. He's a politian. I can't see any discernable difference between him and any other politician running for office. No better, no worse. But then, I didn't expect to.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The President is doing a superb job and possibly the best Commander this country has ever had. The arduous task of managing this country's security, global economy, world commerce, trade and banking, organized crime, global arms and nuclear proliferation, managing over 2 million support staff, medicare, medicaid, medicare, education and daily food for the poor, Black folk, the elderly and all other programs that Republicans desire to privatize (re: rob and abolish) while dealing with ridiculous banter from the far right nuts and he is doing it well. Armed with the knowledge that Israel does't run the world nor do right wing militants, Jesse or GOP pundits whose party barely recognizes Them! Wanna talk recognition? Of course President Obama recognizes and supports us, does the GOP recognize and support You. Let's talk token vs activist...read y? Are you really ready? Thats right, I said it!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Once again, you want to continue the mantra of holding Black's to a different standard. You failed to mention Congress and the Senate who also was voted in to make changes for quote, unquote Black community. All politics are local and until our community learn this we will always be left behind. What you should be spouting is that we must get off of our butts and get involved in our communities such as education, crime, punishment, child support, single parent homes etc... need I say more. You never mentioned holding our local officials accountable. One man can not be the savior for us. Stop this cacophany of what the president's role is for just us. As always, where were you 43 presidents ago?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Was there a day during the younger Bush's presidency that he wasn't raked over the coals from every direction including many in his own party 24/7 ??? And what about Jimmy Carter? Maybe you were too young to know how awful he was as a President.. Obama is the 1st US President that has "us" defending him no matter what ...why? Because he's a bro... really! wow! And of course none of us have ever been done wrong in our families, our schools, our churches, our shops, our local politicians by our own... I must be living in an alternative universe cause I've been done far more down and dirty by my own peeps than folk who are not my peeps. This is why I don't understand why so many of us are blind and drinking the kool-aide. Like Teddy P sang "WAKE UP EVERYBODY"...ou r country is going there in a nandbag and it'snot a Gucci or a Louie I don't agree otten with Rev. Jackson but this time hey the truth is the truth and also the light and he was right on it!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't recall this level of criticism against Bush that I constantly read against Obama. Also why aren't our leaders putting more emphasis on how grassroots and community organizations can work to make change from the bottom up. Example: post the names and phones numbers of pertinent icons we should target to make change. I do think Pres. Obama could do more and should do more for the black community, however every time I go out to protest actions here in Philadelphia I don't see the numbers I should see. Too many Sheeples are complacent!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Question??? When did President Obama become the president for just blacks. Please stop the madness. Instead of trying to call him out and degrade his presidency what are you doing for change in our Education System. Get inside the local high schools and learn of the troubles in our school system especially for our high school students who are allowed to graduate with a reading level of a 4th grader and math of a 5th grader and we have allowed this to happen way before Mr. Obama became President. Enough already so tired of seeing your comments about the President. We have bigger issues in our local communities were we need to see change.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wake up everybody... What has he done for blacks besides play boo game and promise game to get elected not once but twice because his folk knew just how to play the race card to played this country out of pocket for Obama! He keeps talking about "the middle class"...well "the middle class" isn't primarily who WE are unfortunatley and I wonder and worry that our incentive to strive to escape from poverty and make something of ourselves and do something for our kids is being extracted from our heads and hearts by one of our own...or is he? He wasn't raised the way most of us were...he either lived in Indonesia or in Hawaii. In Hawaii he wasn't in "the hood" ... his grandparents were white so what is his real contact or understanding of growing up black in America...basic ally he has NONE and I think he actually looks down his nose at us regular folk because we are not like him and in his head he is not like us so aren't we in trouble]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What a crock! It seems strange to me that folks like you NEVER held any other President 's feet to the fire as you have done with Mr. Obama. Black folks are AMERICANS! Period! Of all the accomplishments he has made it benefits blacks as well as any other race of people! If blacks are so poor how do they have monies to go to concerts, buy clothers (always in the mall), pedicures/manic ures, movies, eating out at restaurants, false hair (and they spend plenty for it), and so many other things that cost money to enjoy? Please, someone tell us just what some of you expect him to do for you? And, if he does what you want him to do should he also do it for the other races of people that are "poor"/struggli ng? As for someone stating that we need to "lose the slave mentality", far too many have no idea what that means. It means taking responsibility for yourself, your family and your life. Stop waiting on someone to DO SOMETHING FOR YOU!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Despite Pres O's shortcomings and admittedly, there are a number of them that come to mind...I find it interesting that you, Raynard, along with Armstrong Williams, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West, among others, seem to spend the greater percentage of your time, denigrating him (Pres O) personally, and little or no time, dealing with the issues of Black folks...I have yet to see any of the aforementioned out in the forefront of any protest, demonstration or program, that actually, generates forward movement in the solving of Black issues....quite frankly, most of us (Black folks) have come to expect, only the negative from your collective mouths...WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY; THE ENEMY IS US...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Keep hope alive! Well, the reality is that it will take us some time to understand what Obama has done for us black in America. First, I am now certain that Blacks can be president in this country. Not just for one term (as a token), but two. Rome was not built in one day. The world is changing. Today you are offering an apology to Jesse Jackson for having judged him prematurely. Let's hope that one day you do the same for Obama.]]></description>
