CBC: Obama Doesn't Like Black People

The Congressional Black Caucus is none too pleased with America's first black prez. Maybe it's sort of like the glass of milk argument. Is Obama half full, or half empty of concern for the black community? Looks to me like maybe he's half-empty but rapper Kanye West must think he's half full. Otherwise, he'd be dancin' all over his head. Right?

Quietly held meetings this week between Congressional Black Caucus members and top Obama administration officials failed to iron out growing frustrations that forced postponement of a House Financial Services vote on legislation that would overhaul the nation's financial regulatory system.

In announcing a delay in the committee's vote, Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank said he understood some of the Black Caucus' frustration because "you are talking about people whose constituents ... have been badly hammered by this and are concerned."

In raising concerns about the legislation, CBC members of the Financial Services Committee met with Treasury Secretary Geithner, White House Chief of Staff Emanuel and FDIC Chairwoman Sheila Bair, sources said. At those meetings, CBC members expressed concerns that the administration was not adequately addressing the needs of many segments of the black community.

Obama is only half-black, so maybe the glass is one-quarter full.

He doesn't like gays either.
