Obama claims to care about the poor but has a dismal record. Should we be concerned?

Here is a snippet from an article off the Black Republicans website (http://www.nbra.info/)



"Obama claims to care about poor blacks, but he has a dismal record. Obama opposes school choice scholarships, putting the special interest of the teachers' unions above the interest of poor black children trapped in failing schools. Obama voted against the minimum wage bill that was finally passed in Congress. Obama obtained funding for slum lord projects in Chicago and was condemned by the poor black people living in the rat and roach infested public housing."



If you want to read the whole article, it is here:

Black Republicans



LOL
Lol cares about the poor? Uhhu! What about his family thats still in Kenya livin in dirt huts? Why isnt he helpin them ?Obama claims to care about the poor but has a dismal record. Should we be concerned?
Incredibly biased source.
Obama has helped his friends, the predatory mortgage bankers, fleece a lot of poor people. Obama claims to care about the poor but has a dismal record. Should we be concerned?
I don't look at blacks and whites as Obama does. Most black Americans don't want Obama and his brand of socialism...they are getting wrapped up in the history of it all.
Obama has never kept any promise made during his entire political career. Everything he says is just to get elected. He has his own agenda that America is completely unaware of.
Nope. That article is a joke. School choice doesn't help poor people, it helps rich people pay less tuition at private schools. Obama voted FOR the minimum wage bill. He voted FOR expanding the childrens healthcare program.





EDIT. Okay. Seriously. What are you talking about. The government already invests billions in medical technology. They give tax breaks to drug companies. They fund the NIH which supports medical research at universities and trains scientists in graduate programs (the very best graduate programs in the world thank you very much). There would be NO technological breakthroughs at all if the government didn't spend this money.





And you don't want to wait in line to see your doctor so a poor kid has to die of asthma? I'm sure we can figure out ways to speed up and streamline the process of seeing a doctor.
Yeah, he gave up opportunities to make millions of dollars at the best Law firms in the Country to be a person who helps people. I guess if you want the truth you will find that his record is not so dismal after all.
Obama couldn't care less about anybody, and his past record shows this, if people would pay attention.
i would because i dont really like his ideas of everything and i dont think he will be a very good president. he wants to make all these things and that will raise all the taxes which isnt good because of the way our economy is already.

I would go with McCain and Palin for presidency this year!
Obama decided to help poor blacks AND whites after graduating from Harvard.



Yeah lets claim a black republican website as our source. Nice job!

If Obama didnt do any of this then who did? McCain? The one with the five houses? Or Bush, The one putting us into an irrelevant war and begging us to spend our money.
ya an besidez that stuff he wantz ta raze mah taxez!!!!!111!!!!!
Obama has not been talking about the poor. He's been talking about the middle class.



Obama is after helping the working taxpayers that are having a harder time just keeping their head above water. He wants to help them before they become part of the poor. Very few rise above.



Think of a triangle. We all can't be rich. The rich know this. The Republicans know this. They are the real elitists.
i just don't like the man and his beliefs on any of the issues he hasn't talk much about the economy either just health care .hell if i can a good job i would pay for it myself .p.s. im a black american
1. Biased source(also opinion)

2. Voting records on their face mean nothing. You need to examine the whole bill they are referring to. A lot of times bills are not voted for because of provisions within them.

3. Obama actually voted for raising the minimum wage-Bill HR2


Yet McCain claims to be for the TROOPS and VETS and he is FORCING them out in the streets. Turning them away from the VA Hospitals

Those that lose a limb are getting minimal if any treatment for those injuries

They are being FORCED off of their Medical Health Care System TriCare

Imagine being in Service in Iraq. You are in Special Ops you parachute out of a helicopter and upon impact you injure your back

You are Medically Discharged and sent home

You come home broken and then you receive word from the Military and TriCare that they are REFUSING to fix your back

This is my Ex Brother In Law

This is the way McCain treats the Vets and Troops



Remember

Theses Men and Women ( Your Family and Friends) are giving LIFE and LIMB so that YOU and I can LIVE FREE

In a WAR based on PERSONAL AGENDA



When they come home they will NEVER be the same

NEVER!!!!

YOU are WRONG this has been going on for 26 years UNDER McCain



Are you aware that under McCains Plan he is willing to give you 5 grand to purchase Health Insurance

You will be forced off of your employers insurance

Easly done all your employer has to do is CUT your hours to a PART TIME employee and then you get NO benefits

You will have to get a NEW doctor as well if yours doesn't accept your Insurance Choice



Are you aware that KAISER is $750 per month per person

for a family of 5 that is $45,000 + PER YEAR OUT OF POCKET
School choice scholarships basically give up on these failing schools. Wouldn't it be better to fix schools than to have everyone in a school district trying to send their kids to the same school? If we did allow school choice, do you think that the well connected would get their choice, or would the most disadvanted get their choice?



We can go to scholarship vouchers when we are ready to give up on public schools. Doing it any sooner just sucks money away from the schools that need it the most.
Obama has no brand of socialism as Frankie says.

All the successful economies in the world are mixed economies, capitalism with social programs. There is a reason for this. Capitalism, while successful, isn't perfect. It will always always concentrate wealth in a few hands. We saw this in the years leading up to the great depression and we have seen it in the last 25 years of Reaganomics.



Many countries with far more social entitlements than we have, also have higher standards of living than we do and much better economic mobility. Economic mobility is the ability to achieve the "American dream" and rise by hard work and intelligence. Under Reaganomics, not only have we gone from the worlds biggest creditor nation to the worlds biggest debtor; we have also become the industrialized country with the worst distribution of wealth in the world, with the exceptions of Russia and Mexico. The distribution of wealth is the worst since 1929.



Here's what Reaganomics has given us after over 25 years to prove itself. According to a study by the Pew Foundation, between 1983 and 2004, all of which was a period of Reaganomics, even during Clinton's term;



The top 1% in income got 33% of the economic growth, the next 4% got over 25% of the growth. The lower 80%, the vast majority of us, received only 11% of the economic growth. Does that sound like a policy that promotes the American dream?

All Obama and most Americans are asking for is our fair share. The workforce is the engine of the economy. It deserves it's fair share. Call that socialism if you want, but I'll have to call Reaganomics socialism for the rich and the large corporations who control the government now.














NO, he speaks so well we'll just ignore the facts.
