Lots of African-American people really so adore Barack Obama that they're unwilling to even be mildly critical of him.

[Barack Obama] intended, I think, to say that he took Trayvon's [ Martin] death somewhat personally.

President [Barack] Obama's pick of Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education was abysmal.

The voter problems and voter suppression, in some ways they're the same thing, but in some ways they're not, because the suppression is evil.

Ronald Reagan's attack on people who receive public assistance was partially an attack on people of color.

While people are prepared to talk about Social Security, about marriage equality, about any number of other issues, people are not prepared - your layperson is not prepared to have a conversation about foreign policy.

Obviously these conditions [violence, poverty] predate the [Barack] Obama presidency and the president has limited ways to dent this violence. But funding war weapons in cities, as opposed to more community policing, is not the solution.
