OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT:

Blacks' Loyalty to First Black President Got Blacks Nothing (Crystal Wright, Feb 19, 2015, Townhall)

Over 90 percent of blacks voted for Obama during both the 2008 and 2012 elections, and what do they have to show for it? High unemployment while the overall unemployment rate declines. In the summer 2012, when black unemployment was 14 percent, then-chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Emmanuel Cleaver, encouraged blacks to overlook that and vote for him again. Cleaver even joked that "if we had a white president we'd be marching around the White House." But he said the Congressional Black Caucus and its black Democrat members, who are supposed to advocate on behalf of blacks, give deference to Obama purely because he's black.

Apparently, the only benefit blacks received voting for the first black president twice is feeling good knowing they voted for a black man-- because "black America" isn't feeling any love from Obama.
