Deroy Murdock, black journalist, DESTROYS any illusions of a successful ‘first black president’, with 1 question: ‘what did blacks gain giving Obama 93%+ of their vote?’
In that regard, Obama’s failures are epic…
- Black American unemployment 10.1% (Black teenagers, 25%);
- Black American Labor-Force-Participation rate, down;
- Black American poverty level, higher;
- Black American median household income, down;
- Black American home ownership levels, down;
- Food stamp recipient levels, dramatically higher.
In the meantime…
- Earnings/income for the top 1% of Americans – up;
- Big Corporation profits – up;
- Stock market – up;
- America’s global image – down;
- Trust in America, from allies – down;
- Nuclear aspirations of the world’s leading terror nation – up.
Under Obama, race relations are at their worst point in decades; trust in the rule of law in general (and law enforcement in particular) has deteriorated dramatically.
Crony capitalism has soared to new heights, and racial tension has worsened.
A very steep price has been paid…for ethnic pride.
But politicians seem not to worry…if there’s a ‘(d)’ after their name.
Obamacare failures, Fast-&-Furious, IRS scandals, Benghazi…nothing could dent ethnic pride: Obama lost a mere 2% of the black vote in his 2012 re-election.
For Republicans in 2016, the only question that remains…
…is there ANY failure over the Obama years that will trump ethnic pride?
