| NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday, perhaps unwittingly, that black Americans “are doing far worse” than when President Obama first took office.“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” Mr. Jealous told MSNBC host David Gregory on “Meet the Press.” “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.”The black unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took office.

Once again I must disagree with the NAACP president. Obambi has shown incredible tolerance and devotion to equality as both whites and blacks are worse off now. Not just blacks.

How can this be in the land of the EBT? Where all brothers get their bennies for free? Where Barack the Messiah has spent trillions, and Michelle the Mooch gets her millions?
We have SNAP and CRACK, and guns galore, We ignore concealed carry, and demand more. We rob and we rape, we pillage and steal, But still we don´t have enough for a meal.
Who needs a father, we all be players, Who needs hard work, Barack will pay us, But it is still not enough, we still be poor, Come on Cracker Boehner, give us some mo´!!

If I remember right from the story about black layoffs in the postal dept. last week,blacks make up 20% of the gov´t workforce but only 5% of the private sector.Of course nobody wanst to talk about the real reason why,it´s just written off as a form of white oppression. In fact blacks were making good progress in the workforce under Clinton and Bush but employers have become more dug in because obama´s a big racist about everything. He calls middle class whites and tea party members racists then expects them to hire balck people.
Nobody will say the best chance for a black to get a job is with a white employer.Most black people I see working are women. this may have to do with the earned income bonus money but they also may be seen as more trustworthy.
Obama has destroyed 40-50 years of racial progress in this country with his class warfare crap.It´s really a shame but their solution is diversity which is code for forced getting along.

#3 is right. I don´t know any whites who are "doing a bit better". Everyone is worse off under Obama and that will continue (the only exception I see are local gun shops and ranges). If Obama can get fracking banned it will get a lot worse. The truth be told the black unemployment rate is probably closer to 25-30% and the white unemployment rate closer to 18-20%. But what difference does it make anymore?

What´s Jealous complaining about Obama is doing the best he can to make us ALL poor Black and White. I thought that was what socialism was about.
He will be saying just the opposite later today when he gets his call from the W.H.

"But he´s half black, liberal, and gives me a national stage so who cares if those poor blacks are worse off? I can still blame whitey and those dumb a$$es will believe it. Hey, this has worked since the 1960´s. We´re going to stick with what works.
The ignorant and the gullible; that´s where the payday is."

The whole country would be better with Mr Herman Cain, a very good economist executive, and a genuine missile scientist (no joke, he helped save pilots when he helped develope the protection of missiles back in Vietnam). We need him now, and Colonel West.

Arguably, blacks have been worse off since around 1965. Obama is just the latest to keep the trend going, but at a faster rate.

I have no sympathy for a group that voted overwhelmingly for the big government socialist and now complains about the consequences.

#4, that is what re-elected the W0N. It was well know by the HiFos before the election that blacks were worse off. It was well known by the NAACP. It was a campaign point by the Repubs. Still, they got their skin color man, no matter the cost.

But they will support him anyway. After all, he is putting it to the man. They all will suffer. But they like it that way. Slavery is their thing. So they will vote to make themselves perpetual slaves. That is their culture. That is their religion. So:FORWARD to worse off. That is the NAALCP.

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

A New York hedge fund manager allegedly swindles $12 million from a prominent Baltimore family. An Indiana couple is accused of bilking hundreds of customers by charging for free trials of cosmetic products. A financial manager in Texas promises 23-percent returns but absconds with $33.5 million of his investors’ money in a classic Ponzi scheme.All three cases have one thing in common: money that ended up in offshore accounts and trusts set up in tax havens around the world.

It is not clear whether that transaction is still being contemplated.

After lengthy investigations, the Pentagon has determined that three Army generals committed misconduct in separate incidents, adding to an unusually long list of senior military commanders who have been censured over the past year.On Friday, defense officials confirmed that Army Maj. Gen. Ralph O. Baker, the commander of a strategic counterterrorism force on the Horn of Africa, was fired March 28 on charges of sexual misconduct. Two officials familiar with the case said Baker was investigated for allegedly groping a female civilian employee after he had been drinking.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Political scientist Charles Murray has never backed away from controversy, but usually his opponents have been liberals. Friday, however, he managed to upset conservatives at the annual conference known as CPAC, where thousands of bewildered Republicans gathered to figure out the way forward after their party’s 2012 electoral defeat. Murray ditched his prepared remarks on “America Coming Apart” in favor of an impromptu admonition to fellow conservatives to accept the legalization of both gay marriage and abortion.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
