Obama Backtracks on Remarks..

[barosa]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">(CBS News) Just hours after President Obama said the &quot;the private sector is doing fine&quot; and Republican challenger Mitt Romney criticized him for being &quot;out of touch,&quot; the president insisted that more work needs to be done to jump-start the economy.

&quot;It's is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine, that's the reason I had the press conference,&quot; the president said Friday

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5...-is-doing-fine/
</div></div>
Obama is now comming under &quot;heavy fire&quot; from his political rivals.. It is painful to see that an otherwise well presented economic statement today, was de-railed when he &quot;misspoke&quot; by saying that the &quot;private sector is doing fine&quot; .. I watched the entire news special from the whitehouse including the Q@A session and everything was fine up to the point of that mistake. It's unbelievable that he seems to be contradicting himself when he had to backtrack on his prior statements..

Now, Romney and the Republicans are having a field day, they are all piling on, there seems to be no one stumping for him, at least not yet.. I thought Bill was doing it to him, now he's doing it to himself.. He has to get his act together..

I think you should give him de benefit of the doubt..

Can you imagine a scenario where you had to make a choice of a prison mate for
10 yrs and your only option was to chose between Barak and Romney? If you were
to tell us, you would chose Romney, no one here would believe you.. I would NOT..

I am not one of those to support anyone just because they have the same colour as me. When anyone can move the way he or any other politician moves they do not deserve my support.
Everybody can come roun an support de man but most blk ppl are doing fi dat reason only and don't even realize it or can't admit it. He supports everyone else aside from the ppl who voted 96% in his favour. They should all stay home, nothing will change with the oddah eedyat anyhow. Sad to say but nothing has changed for/towards blk ppl, gay ppl yes now they can give him his 96%

Re: Obama Backtracks on Remarks..

Re: Obama Backtracks on Remarks..

Only a small percent of blacks vote. Most don't even register and a large percent are excluded from evrn registering due to state laws excluding the. For being in or gave bern in prison in the past. He doesn't think the numbers are worth the effort.

In 2008 there were massive registration campaigns in the black community to get out the vote.

&quot; Additionally, voters 18 to 24 were the only age group to show a statistically significant increase in turnout, reaching 49 percent in 2008 compared with 47 percent in 2004. Blacks had the highest turnout rate among 18- to 24-year-old voters -- 55 percent, an 8 percent increase from 2004. The increased turnout among certain demographic groups was offset by stagnant or decreased turnout among other groups, causing overall 2008 voter turnout to remain statistically unchanged -- at 64 percent -- from 2004.

&quot;The 2008 presidential election saw a significant increase in voter turnout among young people, blacks and Hispanics,&quot; said Thom File, a voting analyst with the Census Bureau's Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division. &quot;But as turnout among some other demographic groups either decreased or remained unchanged, the overall 2008 voter turnout rate was not statistically different from 2004.&quot;

This year, the OFA campaign is doing a lot of voter registration education esp in key states such as Pennsylvania to make people aware that they now must show Govt issued photo id when they go to vote. They are also reaching out and working within the faith based community as well.

Very interesting stats; however, we are still a long way off fom a &quot;level playing field&quot; when it comes to be equally recognized as voters.. The &quot;legal tricks&quot; are still at play..
Who can remember the &quot;Three Strikes and your'e OUT&quot; law aimed at young &quot;blacks&quot;, many who were not dealers in marajuana' but mere recreational/experimental users..

I would venture to say, that one of the main reason for low voter turnout in national elections is due to the high incarceration rate on of non-violent people in the prison system...

a lot of good it did;

the usual depressing numbers about how &quot;blacks&quot; are doing got even worse over the last few years..

voting at this point in history is a straight scam...a diversion to keep you from attaining your true power

well if you are a convicted felon you are legally disenfranchised in amerikkka;

but i don't think the high incarceration rate for blacks is the main reason for low voter turnout...

the main reason is that the real grassroots yutes know it is a joke and nothing really changes...pure beuracracy
