To that I respond he had his hands full trying to get the middle-class some justice. To these gentlemen I say keep on pushing for the poor but don't blame the president. Dr. Cornell West says he's glad that there was not a right-wing takeover, but we end up with a Rockefeller Republican in blackface with Barack Obama.<br />Dr. Cornell, I use to respect you more than I do now. You could have left that out of this discussion because that was uncalled for. Also I'm getting mixed signals from these gentlemen. On the one hand they state that the majority of poor people are white. On the other hand they want the issue of poverty among people of color to have more visibility and to be addressed by the administration.brahim1327http://www.earthlink.netnoreply@blogger.com
