Maria Wimberly, 39
Miami Gardens, administrator
Yes and despite the challenges he inherited that were caused by the previous administration he’s created jobs not only for Blacks but all Americans — even those who don’t support him.
Tony Larkin, 30
Miami Gardens, teacher
The President has shown many times that he is the perfect leader for the U.S. He’s lived up to his promises the very best he could.
Johnny Smith, 45
Overtown, business owner
Obama has done some things for Blacks but there’s a lot more work that still needs to be done. I don’t want to hear him talk about it — he needs to be about it.
Dr. Mae Christian, 67
Miami, retired
President Obama had some tough problems facing him that Bush left behind. With Congress and Florida’s legislature being majority Republican a lot of the programs that he developed that would have helped Blacks were diluted.
Steve Witherspoon, 45
Miami, supervisor
Yes, he helped promote job growth and gave many people the opportunity to serve in government positions. He’s the first Black leader since King and Malcolm X to increase jobs for Black and to advocate world peace.
Ariel Whatley, 22
Liberty City, student
Yes, he’s the president for the middle class and Blacks. He’s helped with health care, created jobs as much as Republicans have let him and he’s doubled Pell Grant aid for college students. He’s been a great president for Blacks.

Obama is a politican and not the black savior. He has not done much for blacks because we have not demanded it. The gays got in his face- the illegals were pressing him also but black people he knows he has in his back pocket so he dont have to do a thing(which he has not). I dont count Obamacare because I dont agree with it becuse I dont want goverment in my healthcare. Most things the government takes over does not work or works badly. Obama is a dream. He is not real as us blacks would like to be. Obama has not been pressured to to a darn thing and he wont. I will not vote for him again because he is what I call a “smooth operater”. Obama is very radical in his stance as president and basically does what he wants not what is right. He is too liberal and is taking the country in the wrong direction with out of control spending, ungodly principles. He is too illegal friendly and finds ways to bypass the constitution. He basically misuses his power.

If Obama is re-elected he will do more of the same for blacks ‘NOTHING’.4 MORE YEARS OF NOTHING I cannot take. He is going to allow all the illegals to become legal and there will be more jobs lost to blacks and legal americans. There are questions about Obama that have not been answered. His college records are sealed because he may have applied as a foriegn student(meaning he was a citizen of another country). He has sealed records on the “fast and furious” about guns sold to Mexican drug cartel to cover his involement and Attorney Holder-what is he hiding on that. I dont not think he is very honest and has too many secrets. There are even rumors that he and his wife were disbarred. How much do we really no about Obama?

I don’t know how much more you want done for you. The government lowered the SAT scores because you complained you couldn’t get into college because you couldn’t pass the test! They did the same for the Police and Firemen. Seems to me you want everything the white people have, but you don’t want to work for it. You want it handed to you! Let the illegals take your jobs, they do better work anyway.

Where has Obama been during Black History Month? What young people has he inspired? What black leaders does he spend time with?
He has played over 100 rounds of golf. He has put this one lady (Kathleen Sebelius) in charge of everyone’s health care. But, has he put his own family under his supposed “health care” law? No. Why not? Wouldn’t he want the best for his family? Then why not put them under it if its so good?
No. Obama has used the black community for his own means. That’s all. Obama even sent Biden to the NAACP meeting. I’m not feeling it. Sorry.
Oh… and believes in redefining marriage against what our Creator established! Obama does not agree with the Lord Jesus Christ when He said:
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
And, what about the Born Alive Infant Act? Three times as a Senator Obama voted to let a baby who survives an abortion die. If the baby survives an abortion, Obama voted to let the struggling little baby die without medical care— red, yellow, black, white, or brown. All babies.
Am I missing something? I don’t see Obama representing traditional black culture in anything.

What will happen if Romney takes over?
The American dream will become an American nightmare.
The Federal Reserve
To the financial elite, there is no more important financial institution in the United States than the Federal Reserve, and Mitt Romney is a huge supporter of the Federal Reserve.
During one Republican debate, Romney actually tried to explain to all of us why “we need to have a Fed”.
Romney has stated that he is not really concerned about what is going on over at the Federal Reserve, and has publicly stated that he is “not going to take my effort and focus on the Federal Reserve”.
Money From The Bankers
Mitt Romney is getting far, far, far more money from Wall Street bankers than any other Republican candidate.
“The Big Wall Street Banks Are Trying To Buy The 2012 Election”,
The Wall Street Bailouts
During the last financial crisis, Mitt Romney was a very enthusiastic supporter of the Wall Street bailouts.
During the Wall Street bailouts, gigantic mountains of money were transferred from the pockets of U.S. taxpayers into the hands of greedy Wall Street bankers.
Health Care
Republicans are supposed to be against Obamacare, and yet millions upon millions of them plan to vote for someone that came up with the plan that Obamacare was based upon.
Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romney’s landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romney’s own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as “Obamacare.”
Free Trade
Creating a one world economic system. That is why so many of our politicians continue to push “free trade” even though tens of thousands of U.S. businesses and millions of U.S. jobs have gone overseas.
The following quote comes directly from the Romney campaign website….
But the results of this “free trade” agenda have been absolutely nightmarish for the United States. According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years. During 2010 it got even worse. That year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.
Globalism is ripping our economy apart a little bit more every day, and if Romney is elected the globalist agenda will only accelerate.
What will happen if Romney takes over?
The American dream will become an American nightmare.
Taxes
Extracting taxes from the American people. It was not a coincidence that the Federal Reserve and the individual income tax came into existence at nearly the exact same time nearly 100 years ago.
During his time as governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney significantly raised taxes.
Government Spending
And let there be no doubt – Mitt Romney is a big spender when it comes to government money.
Government spending in Massachusetts increased significantly under Mitt Romney. In fiscal year 2006, government spending in Massachusetts increased by 7.6 percent. In fiscal year 2007, government spending in Massachusetts increased by a whopping 10.2 percent.
Global Warming
It turns out that Mitt Romney is a believer in the theory of man-made global warming. In fact, Al Gore recently praised Mitt Romney on his blog. In a post entitled “Good for Mitt Romney — though we’ve long passed the point where weak lip-service is enough on the Climate Crisis”,
Cap And Trade
If Mitt Romney becomes president, he is going to cram the radical green agenda right down our throats.
While campaigning for president in 2007, Mitt Romney said that he would fully support a global “cap and trade” carbon tax scheme as long as the entire world goes along with it….
Illegal Immigration
Mitt Romney is very, very soft on illegal immigration. Back in 2007, Mitt Romney made the following statement…. WOW, you mean they won’t have to earn their citizenship
“But my view is that those 12 million who’ve come here illegally should be given the opportunity to sign up to stay here”
What will happen if Romney takes over?
The American dream will become an American nightmare.
Gun Control
Disarming the American people, Mitt Romney has been a huge supporter of gun control laws. When he was running for governor in Massachusetts, he made the following statement….
“We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts- I support them…I believe they help protect us, and provide for our safety
Abortions
Mitt Romney has a long record of supporting the population control agenda of the global elite.
He claims that he is “pro-life” now, but Mitt Romney also once claimed that he was more “pro-choice” than Ted Kennedy.
Romney once forced Christian hospitals and Massachusetts taxpayers to subsidize abortions in the state of Massachusetts. You can see evidence of this right here.
https://www.mahealthconnector.org/portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/About%2520Us/Connector%2520Programs/Additional%2520Resources/cc_benefits1220_pt234.pdf
If he becomes president, Romney will be just like George W. Bush – a president that gives lip service to the pro-life crowd but that does next to nothing to actually stop abortion.
The Pharmaceutical Industry
pharmaceutical industry has been absolutely showering money on Mitt Romney.
According to the CDC, the percentage of Americans that say that they have taken a prescription drug within the last 30 days has risen to almost 50 percent.
If Mitt Romney becomes president, it will be a new “golden age” for the pharmaceutical industry and that number will likely go even higher.
Millions of Republicans are being fooled. They don’t realize that Romney will say just about anything to get elected.
Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann Romney, once made the following statement about her husband….
“He can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think he’s really believing his argument, but he’s not.”
Romney is good at gymnastics, he is good at Flip-Flopping

Sadly, most elections in America are not determined by the voters.
Rather, most elections in America are determined by money.
Republican candidates spent more than $10 million on television and radio ads in Iowa in the month of December alone.
Those ads have a huge impact on voters.
So who is spending the most money?
Well, according to a recent article in the Des Moines Register, pro-Romney forces are spending the most money even though Romney is not even really campaigning in Iowa….
Together, Romney and the super PAC going to bat for him had over half the ad buys in Iowa in December among the spending the Register examined.
If you can believe it, one pro-Romney “super PAC” actually spent $2.85 million in Iowa during the month of December.
$2.85 million can buy quite a bit of propaganda.
It would be nice to stick it to the establishment for once, but the reality is that it is really hard to go up against a candidate that is backed by millions upon millions upon millions of dollars.
But even if Mitt Romney only wins 30 or 40 percent of the delegates during the nominating process, that is still going to make it nearly impossible for any other candidate to win the nomination before the Republican convention.
In a previous article, I described how the new Republican voting rules are going to make a “brokered convention” much more likely….
The key is that most Republican primaries and caucuses will now allocate delegates using a proportional system rather than a “winner take all” system. Back in 2008, John McCain did very well in early “winner take all” primaries and wrapped up the Republican nomination very, very quickly. Nothing like that will happen in 2012. In fact, if the field remains crowded it is going to be very difficult for any candidate to accumulate more than 50 percent of the delegates by the time the Republican national convention rolls around.
If Mitt Romney wins more than 50 percent of the delegates during the primary season, the Republican establishment will let him have the nomination of course.

Romney was endorsed by Barbara Bush who said Hurricane Katrina was a blessing for the poor; it gave them FEMA tents to live in rent free. If we are fooled into letting this idiot become president, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Romney may not be a tax evader; But, he certainly is a tax avoider on a grand scale.

Mitt Romney Got Rich Promoting Sweatshop

How Romney grew rich by plundering companies
If Mitt Romney wins the GOP nomination for president, the narrative for his 2012 run is pretty clear. He will tout his credentials as a savvy businessman who knows how to create jobs.
What Romney won’t tell you is that what he really knows how to do is create massive amounts of wealth for himself and his partners. The actions of Romney’s firm are detailed in the 2009 book by financial reporter Josh Kosman, The Buyout of America: How Private Equity is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy. The chapter that focuses on Romney and Bain Capital is aptly titled “Plunder and Profit.”
