is obama neglecting black job crisis?

Sure it's a touchy feely kind of topic, but the whispering suggests that at least some think Obama may be neglecting the Black Job Crisis. Is this simply the stuff that gets people riled up or is there some merit to such a suggestion? Well, for one thing I would say Obama is having a difficult time with job creation Black, White or otherwise. Let's face it, the private sector hasn't been so willing to work with this Administration. Maybe that's because big corps have $2 Trillion on the sidelines and they would like to keep it that way? Anyway, be that as it may that leaves public sector jobs which a good percentage of Blacks do occupy. That's true, at least for now, until the House cuts more public sector funding (or simply refuses to keep portions of the government running).

So what are Obama's options in terms of helping with the Black Job Crisis? Well for one, he could acknowledge the situation take a hard line against it and cause some massive wave of jobs to somehow surface. What happens next? Well, hillbilly Jim Bob and his pals gets real upset and uses that as validation that Obama was out to turn poverty onto Whites as some form of retribution for slavery. Would that help with a re-election bid? No. Is politics involved? Yes. Now the other option is a little more sensible, which is he could address the American Job Crisis as a whole is such a way that would help not only Blacks but Whites, Hispanics, Latino, and others. Why? You know why - if you help one and don't help the other then the others cry foul play. Sure, it's no secret that Blacks are affected most by this economic situation but helping only what some consider to be a small segment of the population and leaving others to fend for themselves opens up a can of worms that I'm sure Obama does not want on his plate.

In reality, given the politics around jobs, deficit reduction and spending, getting a plan to work for anyone is a difficult task. So, it's somewhat of a reach to say Obama is neglecting the Black Job Crisis. If anything, what Obama is neglecting to do is get the private sector into the game. Granted that isn't an easy task when big corps have more cash flow than the federal government, but that's where the real problem exists. How do you get the private sector into the game? So even if you still aren't convinced that's the problem - do tell me; do you really think Perry or Romney will do more for Blacks? Get real. Expect nothing from Romney, and as for Perry, well he might call up a few of his pals in Texas and help a few Blacks out with those low wage jobs. Suit yourself, Obama or Perry/Romney.
