You know, I can understand if he is under pressure and threats everyday, but we knew that it wouldn’t be easy in the beginning. One of the reasons I’m pissed is because he only comes out and speaks to us when he needs a vote. He also spoke with very little respect to the Black Caucus saying “Take off your house shows and get involve.” Now this is coming for a man whom we know that fears the thought of facing adversity from the white race. I not only have lost any respect for him. Sometimes I wonder have Michelle began to feel some form of buyers remorse as well.

I hear where your coming from and can't disagree more. I think you may be projecting virtues onto Obama. The words of Bill Parcells come to mind, "You are what your record says you are". Obama is one of them, he represents their interests. The extent to which you think he represents anything else is the extent to which his marketing campaign worked.Antone ("Tone") Miles said:
GOD help Obama wake-up: I'm perplexed and sadden watching this Brother's failing attempt at "pledging" the Executive branch. Many of us will confess "pledging" is rough, but "HELL WEEK" is worst. Obama has been man-handled and abuses, publicly, from day one. He is so far from the guy we (thought we) voted for that I doubt that he'll survive HELL WEEK. "The forces of evil" are merciless and vicious. The "gang rape" of Obama will begin as soon as they identify The most public stage, they can find. They want to send a message to any one of color, compassion, competence, character, commitment, aspiration, and hope from ever attempting to reside on Pennsylvania Ave. Whoever may endure an pursue this office, the over whelming question will not be platform, experience, or understanding, BUT what makes you think that you can "perform" at this level (since the best and brightest of your "kind" has already come and failed miserably). Obama has sacrificed a lot (racial pride, integrity, his base, and much more) to realize that he will never be "accepted." He's absorbed his abuse as if he's expecting to be crowned a "credit to his race." The simple rule, at this level of play is, you can be nice, but not naive. Maybe he would have represented better if he'd graduated from Lincoln Univ. (PA) instead of Harvard or grew up in Brooklyn or Philly, instead of Hawaii. At this late date all we can do is pray (that he wakes up)

No your right I struggle just to keep myself and my family living a decent life. I can't afford more than a few buck here and there to causes that I feel strongly about.
I couldn't find how much total the rich give compared to everyone else. But I did find that the poor actually give nearly double the % of their income to charity than the rich do.
So if you taxed the rich heavily and gave it all to the poor you would get an increase in charitable giving and also lower the need for charitable giving. Also alot of money would be spent all over the country so business would sart expanding and hiring also reducing the need for giving. We would all be better off and the economy would be healthy.
Sorry but their is no evidence that the rich actually do anything but put a drag on the economy.
My dearest sir...YOU can not be serious!! Where would the motivation to better one's self come from if money simply fell from the sky? Hunger is the best motivator. If you insists the rich do nothing, then there is no need to say more. You are too bitter to reason with. A perfect soldier in the OBAMA CLASS WAR.
May your mind heal enough to use your saavy and research the Rockerfeller Foundation, the Kennedy Foundation, Bill and his beautiful wife Gates Foundation, the Fords, the Forbes...my, my and you raise your children to be so ignorant? I hope not.
IF the rich do nothing then I assume you will not encourage your family to achieve? A perfect example of Generational Underachievement and Government Dependence SYNDROME!

I should have given examples of black philanthropy...Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan, The Johnsons, Tiger Wood, Sean Combs, the list is long and I will encourage you to use your saavy and educate yourself and your family. TROY POLAMALU !!! ARE YOU A SPORTS FAN? HINES WARD, MUHAMMAD ALI.
MY GOODNESS, I THINK MR. TURCHYN YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES YOU MAY WANT TO GET SOME COUNSELING!! THE RICH DO NOTHING??? WOW. I'M FINISHED WITH YOU !!

I hope you realize the Obama Action Figure you praising is nothing but a modern day version of a Ken Doll. There nothing wrong with paying with dolls as a kid. You are comparing Obama to Martin Luther King ?You must left your helmet on the short bus with dark window on your ride home. I can tell from your writing that you still wearing you name tag in bold letters around you neck. I not saying that you on drugs. If you are,they are probably not working to you advantage . I can understand that in a drunken stupor you thought you had and epiphany. One person epiphany is another person reason to just stand in their dry way and keep gravels on a Sunday morning.

A few corrections, Mr. Vonlogan: Figure you (you're); paying (playing); dark window (s); writing that you (you're); wearing you (you're); around you (you're); saying that you (you're); working to you (you're); had and (an); One person (person's); another person (person's); in their dry way (driveway); keep gravels (I think you meant kick gravels?); from the kid who left his helmet on the short bus w/ dark windows w/ his name tag around his neck. Or were you really talking about yourself as your grammar would imply? http://www.tunecore.com/music/david-king

Hey David, Saying that Obama is like Dr. MLK is like saying "you can see Russia from your house"… Did you attend school in Alaska???

While you were playing dress-up , in the "want to be club", your Ken Doll hero was getting rid of Fifth Amendment to The US Constitution. You can play a part in his place in history. You can start by helping him get his Nobel Peace Prize out of lay-way and returning it to The Norwegian Nobel Institute.
