Has Barrack Obama set African American's back 20-50 years?

The interesting thing is that most people seem to believe the US President is all powerful. He can dictate his will on any subject and policy and he has the power to make everything right or wrong in America.

I believe before anyone can judge Obama, they must first fully understand how the US system work. The president power is very well defined and limited.

I can give you links to where Obama has supported something that the republicans asked for and they then voted against it because he supported it. This has happen time and again. Even on the budget when the Democrats gave the Republicans exactly what their web site stated we needed for a balance budget and growth as soon as Obama gave his OK, the Republicans changed their whole stance. Its one thing to be oppose to a President but Republican made it a mission to derail anything Obama tried to get done no matter if it hurt their own constitutes.

I did not even vote for Obama and there are some things I believe he could have done but I even question that because of how the Republicans made it a mission to make him a one term President no matter the cost.

The problem with most American is that they do not do any research. They listen to people tell them things and never question those people motives. This whole thread is about the OP evidently getting his info from one source and never having the balls to actually go and research his opinion. No where in the OP does he even try to make an informed opinion. He does not show what Obama voted for or vetoed, he does not show what Obama has supported or not supported and he has not tried to show how Obama has either lead policy in an area or hampered.

If we even look at the Affordable Healthcare act this was a republican ideal, its the same plan Rommy was going to institute but it turned evil because Obama supported it.

Jay Leno did this on the street report where he asked people about Obama care and the Affordable Healthcare act. All the people stated that they did not support Obama care but when asked about the Affordable Healthcare act they said they fully support that. The sad part is that a lot of people really do not know that they are the same thing and even worst they do not know what is in the act. There is a lot of good stuff and then there is the government crap which comes along with it.

Links. Jay Leno part is irrelevant because you do that with any law. There was a vid were a guy ask did they support Obama on his positions and gave him republican positions and they all agreed with it. Interview random people means nothing because you don't why they responded the way they did and how much was edited.
