He hasn't had a four full years to do much, but the health care bill was a step in the right direction and this is coming from some one who is politically right-of-center. My only issue with Obama is that I think he should specifically address the African American community and be more involved with us, no so much to push agendas, but to let us that he has us in mind.

Well more than have us In mind he need to get us involved in the new green economy he was pushing..but the Van Jones's resignation over protests from far right loons instigated by F.O.X news and the Tea-Party made me doubt his resolve..my opinion of his performance raised a bit with the passage of Health care but he beres watching..after-all a politician is a politician. |

I think we fail to realize where his executive power lies. The senate and congress still have the final votes. I think the CBC is overall satisfied with his efforts, as far as assisting homeowners in danger of foreclosure with some of the TARP funds, the Health Care Bill, but some of the complaints come from the creation of jobs for AA whom suffer from the highest levels of unemployment. His response was that the programs designed to assist "ALL" Americans, will benefit African Americans as well.
I believe they fear that this gap will rise more, if the economy continues to dwindle. But I personally think we need to give it more time to see if his economic system will work. He inherited more debt than any president in history, and we should not expect any overnight miracles. I will judge him diligently by the end of this year.
