SYNPOSIUM VOICES FRUSTRATIONS WITH OBAMA
Thousands of African-Americans convened at Chicago State University over the weekend for the We Count symposium, organized by Tavis Smiley.

Obama is not just the President of Black America. He is the President of all of America. Due to a majority of blacks that don't want to/can't vote, it took a large amount of "white" America to get Obama in office. So he has to be concerned with all of us. We are the only country that divides based on race. When we do what Mike said and start with the man in the mirror and start working to better our own communities, then and only then will we be satisfied witrh our lives. Don't put the burden of saving the world on one man.
