Asserts the conservative Republican blogger in New York, about U.S. President Barack Obama: "Some argue that it's unfair to expect President Obama to take on the needs of the black community because he's everyone's President. The truth is he hasn't had a problem weighing in on other issues in the black community, even at times when he should have said nothing because he spoke too soon."
She continues her commentary about President Obama's approach to Black America: "Having said that, asking this President to address the needs of the black community is not outrageous. He's not the first President who has been asked to do so, and if a Republican President or candidate didn't do so -- or even simply didn't attend the NAACP Convention -- he would be called 'racist.' Look, the jobs numbers are abysmal. National unemployment is 8.2%, which is bad enough, but unemployment among blacks is 14.4%, and black youth unemployment is 39.3%. Where is the President on this? His policies certainly do not help. Furthermore, he clearly doesn't seem too motivated to make a difference, as he didn't even take his jobs tour into the black community last year, earning him impassioned criticism from Maxine Waters, of all people..."
More: "President Obama's presidency has been a failure all the way around, and the National Black Republican Association released a radio ad in which they took on his particular failure within the black community. The only advice he seems to have is, 'Shake it off. Stop complaining. Stop grumbling. Stop crying.' Does that sound like hope and change to you? As Governor Palin so often says, 'How's that hope and change working for you?'"
