FEB 28:
Acknowledging that “tough times for America often mean tougher times for African-Americans,” US President Barack Obama on Saturday called for more local and national engagement by fellow blacks.

“You know that tough times for America often mean tougher times for African Americans. This recession has been no exception,” Obama told the 10th annual “State of the Black Union” gathering, noting that the unemployment rate among African-Americans is five points higher than the national average.

“At the same time, we know that government cannot and will not succeed alone. It will take all of us stepping up and doing our part. It will take the commitment of parents and teachers and community leaders. It will take a renewed faith in our common purpose and common values.

CRAWISH NOTE: Black President and ultraliberal congress with a trillion to buy votes and blacks are still “in tough times”?
Now, IF Obama means “stepping up” by blacks is…graduating high school, marriage before babies, work before crime-drugs, no diversity slots and traditional non-vomit inducing music…we got it. What are “our common values”? Be SPECIFIC.
Ohhh, more victim worship and excuse-making under the fuzzy “engagement” (gov-meant taxes?) banner. Never mind. More vote-buying foggy jive from the fogmaster.
