Under the current circumstances - it' not that Obama is doing a bad job, only that he is not doing a great job.Some Blacks argue that it is wrong for Blacks to criticize Obama's short tenure as POTUS.
Others feel that it is our responsibility to criticize the job he's done.
I don't know... maybe the reactions have something to do with which generation one belongs.
Many older Blacks grew up under the philosophy of, "That's good... for a Black person.".
But most younger Blacks have a heightened level of expectation from those who would do what others said could not be done.
Most younger Blacks expect champions like Venus and Serena...
Not also-rans like Chanda Rubin.
Most younger Blacks expect the dominance of Oprah...
Not the Affirmative Action pity and Politically Correct praise heaped upon sloppy ass Mo'Nique.
Most younger Blacks expect the candor, strength and commitment of Malcolm X...
Not the jealous pandering of Jesse Jackson.
Most expect the groundbreaking and society changing success of Tiger Woods...
Not the humble capitulation of Lee Elder.
Most younger Blacks have grown to expect one who changes the game like Jackie Robinson...
Not one who does more of the same like Larry Doby.Obama's problem isn't that he is not a good President.
His only problem is that he is not a great President.
