Otherwise black people will be taken for granted and marginalized just like every other president (democrat and republican) has done.  Comments such as &quot;Oh Michelle looks so wonderful or Barack is such a great husband&quot; almost make me cringe because it tells me that ni matter what he does in office,  no matter how much blacks continue to suffer in this country,  we are satisfied with just having a black face in office.  Meanwhile,  Barack&#039;s 4 years will come and go and we will have missed perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to leverage our political power to bring about real change for African Americans.  I personally could care less if he&#039;s cute, if Michelle loves him,  if she wears nice clothes etc.  What I do care about is the economic stability of my family,  that I can continue to afford to send my child to a good school and provide a safe and decent home for her.  It&#039;s time to get our heads out of the clouds and hold OUR president accountable.  Also I disagree with the author about another thing,  some of us black folk do care about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sadly you completely MISSED the point of this article,  which is that black folks need to take the blinders off and hold Barack accountable just like every other group in this country.
