When Obama became the first black president, his fellow African-Americans owned few commercial television stations in the United
States. Obama gave lip service to encouraging more diversity in broadcast media
ownership. 2 years before Obama was first elected to the White House, there were only 18 full-power TV stations owned by African-Americans. This total represented just 1.3% of all such stations in the country.
By the end of his first term in office, those 18 had declined to only five stations. And as of this month 2014 that number has fallen all the way to zero.
So, for all the African-American voters who were miss lead and out right lied too by Obama are no far worse off then before the tragedy of his election. Obama has lied his way into office, has lied his way through his 1st term and now he is following that up by making sure that African-Americans are in a far worse position economically.
Lets look at the abysmal employment figures for African-Americans during the Obama presidential debacle known as his 1st and 2nd term. The African-American unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took office. While the unemployment rate in the U.S. as a whole is below 8 percent, the Labor Department reported the black jobless rate was up from 12.9 percent to 14 percent for December.
The worst during Mr Obama’s first term was in September 2011, with 16.7 percent unemployment for blacks — the highest since 1983, the Department of Labor reports. The black teen jobless rate hit a staggering 39.3 percent in July 2012.
Travis Smiley and African-American and staunch Obama supporter put it best... "Federal data is going to indicate sadly that when the Obama administration is over, black people will have lost ground in every single leading economic indicator category. On that regard, the president ought to be held responsible." But, because Travis Smiley is an African-American he's stuck. He can't really say what he would like to say cause he's an African-American AND he voted not once but twice for Obama. So Travis Smiley and all the other African-Americans who got royally screwed by the flim-flam, fast talking, bullshit artists that is the Obama administration have to sit and swallow the worst Administration for African Americans since reconstruction. African-America's can't blame Bush, they can't blame the Republicans, they can't do anything but close their eyes and watch the 1st Black President betray them again and again and again...
Of Course no one is going to be more screwed the Democrats come mid-term elections thanks to Mister "If you like your insurance you can keep it!"
