I'm fed up. I don't know why journalists, particularly black journalists, have given President Obama a "pass", so to speak, on issues that affect black people. I have yet to see him hire or nominate any black people to his cabinet or positions in the forefront of his administration. I have yet to hear him tackle or champion any black issues (i.e. affirmative action or the voting rights bill). I now see what Jesse Jackson saw in the then, presidential nominee, Barack Obama. This is something that should be said and now I've said it. I am contacting the Congressional Black Caucus on this matter.
