More proof Obama is bad for black Americans

It seems the nation’s first half-black president continues to do no favors for his black constituents. According to an article in Campus Reform, one of the nation’s most venerable historically-black colleges has been forced to drop student health insurance due to the high cost of the (un-)Affordable Care Act:

Bowie State University has suspended offering health insurance for domestic students for the 2013-2014 academic year,” states the school’s official website. “Due to new requirements of the Affordable Care Act which will go into effect on January 1, 2014, the cost of insurance for domestic students will increase to approximately $1800 per year.

Obamacare regulations mean insurance costs for students will rise from $50 per student per semester to $900. Can’t really blame the college for dropping the benefit.

Yes, it’s more bad news for the black community, courtesy of Barack Obama. Remember, one of the president’s first actions upon taking office was cancelling the DC school voucher program, cutting off access to better schools and freedom of choice.

As we reported recently, Obama can’t even abide most of his own Congressional Black Caucus peers, or his race-baiting sycophants Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson - who he brands as “professional blacks.” Does that mean he considers himself “unprofessional?” With his plummeting approval ratings, it appears more and more Americans - black, white and in between - are agreeing with him.

Why does it have to be about the color of his skin and not just the content of his character?
- Sally Bolles
  
  The color of his skin gives him the support of black Americans.
  - marylou
    
    We all know it isn’t his character or ability……
- Concerned American
  
  He used race when he was running his campaign. He didn’t run on his character. He did succeed in getting young people and minorities to vote. However, he got them to vote based on lies and he is now hurting the people that helped get him elected. He is destroying America. Black, white, green, blue, he is a horrible president.
- Tyree Dawson
  
  because it is in Black people’s nature to hate one another and Allen West is no different.
  - Concerned American
    
    That is ridiculous.
  - Hellcat01
    
    Stop drinking the Cool-Aid and open your eyes. Every post I have read by you is completely ignorant. Try researching things for yourself and get educated.
    - Tyree Dawson
      
      You must’ve been commenting on the poster above; and I don’t drink Kool-Aid. As for the first respondent, you are assuming I support Obama. And “underdeveloped” is the politically correct term for third world. It’s comments like those that make me not wanna be an Obama critic because people will assume I’m ignorant. And Obama IS White! Harvard and secret societies knew about him long before Blacks. He was the perfect chosen one: is White, looks Black. Plus every president in my lifetime has people that say they would or lose the country. Didn’t happen and won’t.
  - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
    
    Tyee Dawson…..I beg to differ…….the world would be a much greater place if everyone had Honorable Allen West’s character……he is about as fair and level thinking of a person in the public that I’ve ever known. Allen West loves his country!
  - Roger Thibault
    
    “Black people’s nature”, sounds like a stereotypical racist remark to me. You are saying that Black’s hate each other simply because of the color of their skin?
    I respect Allen West for his service to our country and his views toward America values. Obama hates this country and is doing all that he can to reduce it to a Third World country before his term is over. He is the first president to actively destroy our economy, spend us into poverty, offend our allies while supporting our enemies, (Muslim Terrorists), and his slavish devotees refuse to look past the color of his skin. Imagine Mitt Romney was president and did what Obama has done to America. Would you be so forgiving if Obama was White? If not, then YOU are a racist, period.
    America: From a Free Superpower Nation to a Third World Dictatorship in less than eight years. History will remember this time with shame.

  Can’t have it both ways Ken. He (Obamboozler) used his race to win. Check out Quinnepac’s latest poll, he still has high favorability among blacks. Obama made it about race, his entire presidency will be about race. No putting the toothpaste back in the tube.
  - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
    
    love it!
- marylou
  
  A person with character does not LIE to promote an agenda…no matter what his skin color!
- Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
  
  Ken, if you are referring to the president, it’s not about his color…..remember he is half white and half black……and as far as his character……he has none from either color.
Sandra Johnson

Whatever color your dermitis is, $900 more for insurance is hard to swallow!
- Elleanor
  
  Sandra, Your comment just made me smile. Thank you for posting.
Mapotter

But, the students can stay on their parents’ plan until they are 26. That should get them through college….
- Mapotter
  
  … (continued) So what is the big deal?
  - Shaggy_Bird
    
    Mommy and ? (Baby Daddy) doesn’t have insurance they have been let to buy or find their own plans.
  - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
    
    And what’s your goal here Mapotter? To see how much stuff you can stir up you pompous ass!
- vtx1300
  
  And when the parents lose their insurance, then what?
  - anonymouse
    
    Excellent question. Then they qualify for a $13.00/month subsidy to offset the 1,000.00 premium. What a deal!
- Constitutionalists
  
  Yes let’s continue the narative to relay on others to get you through life, I was in the military providing my own insurance at age 18, and my own residence. Stop defending your false messiah and get with real “common sense”
- mego
  
  Not if their parents do not have insurance! Maybe their parent’s insurance has been dropped!
- marylou
  
  How many black parents do you know that are insured..
  or even have a job in this economy…but the food stamps and welfare checks keep coming.
  - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
    
    And don’t forget Medicaid..
    - marylou
      
      Thanks for the help..:-)
- Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
  
  That is if their parents can afford the ACA…..shallow thinking.
obama lover

Obama is doing a great job.& He lies repeatedly to get dese plans passed. he lies for the gud of de people
- Sally Bolles
  
  You’re arguing that the ends justify the means. So circumventing the laws of our nation is the way to get things done? I agree, but that is what we call a dictatorship. Stop blindly following and think for yourself and learn proper grammar.
  - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
    
    Makes you wonder what goes on in the mind of someone like obama lover……or should I say mind, what mind…….how can anyone be so blind to his lies, deceit, reckless spending, trying to destroy the Constitution that our Nation was built upon; need I go on?
- Constitutionalist
  
  Yes it is very hard to take an arguement from someone who doesn’t even care to spell basic words like “good” correctly! On another note we need no more compromises that take away from honor, lies are not honorable and you can never succeed using that tactic!
  - Sally Bolles
    
    Exactly! His lies are blowing up in his face and his fellow party members are running scared. It’s all led to the demise of the Democratic Party.
    - Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
      
      We can only but hope it will lead to the demise of the DP.
  - guest
    
    It’s argument….since you’re correcting spelling!
- Tyree Dawson
  
  Just like Reagan
  - anonymouse
    
    Idiot.
  - Marty Torrez
    
    You mean Obama ended the cold war which stopped the possible end of the world caused by nuclear war, or was it that debt was in only 800 billion or was housing more affordable for the common worker now or perhaps under obama the unemployment rate 5.4%, you are uninformed, a parrot of ignorant race baiters. Before you compare men you should compare deeds, this is the problems you get for voting for a HALF-BLACK man without knowing his character, by the way voting for someone just for the color of his skin is racist either way you look at it!
  - Tyree Dawson
    
    I don’t care what race these fools are. Obama also ended a war. But both were lying bastards that sent real unemployment up and America down the toilet.
- go4it
  
  What this lying, Marxist Muslim has done “good” for the United States and it’s citizens as president is about equal to the quality of your spelling and grammar, Ms. Ebonics …
- marylou
  
  As long as he continues to give you a check for not working…
  That’s the mentality of the black Obama voter.
  You have no idea that you are back on the plantation…with Massa!
Shaggy_Bird

1st let me state that BHO has wrecked ALL American’s rights, He “IS” the worst thing along with a defunked Senate. BHO was seen by the black community as someone of their own kind, what they thought he would do for them is anyone’s guess. But make no argument about Barry or you will be harassed, bullied, and most likely will have the full frontal attack of this administration from the IRS to HHS.
History has already judged his tenure as a man and as a President and America is less because of him.
Kryssey

How funny… I at first misread the word; “sycophants” as “sociopaths”. I think Sociopaths sounds a lot better!
cecilio portillo

Obama hates Hispanics, and those idiots in the Hispanic caucaus still believe his “mierda”.
- Sherill Weber
  
  The only reason the Hispanics like him is because he made them think that all their illegal immigrants will be taken care of. If he said that all illegal immigrants are out of the country,,,they wouldn’t like him then.
bwitht

Of course Obama doesn’t care what he is doing to his constituents of color. African Americans have an immense Christian following and Obama views Christians with disdain and as terrorists.
- Jodi
  
  But have you seen the poll… A LARGE percentage of blacks still support him !!! UNBELIEVABLE.
jb80538

Face it, 0bama has done NOTHING positive for anyone except his own self serving interests.
mego

I see a new song coming…Obamacare mmm mmm mmm
ginger

I just don’t understand why people can’t see o for what he is…willful ignorance.
- Rosa Caine Nottingham Custis
  
  so very well stated Ginger!
marylou

OBAMA has considered blacks as his serfs/slaves!
He knows they are low information voters,
who believe his lies, and even if they don’t,
support him simply because of skin color!
Sherill Weber

I can’t remember the state that Obama needed to win over where he promised the poor blacks that were living in such terrible conditions like not even having electricity and he promised to pull them out of it. Funny,,he turned his back on them once he was elected. Instead of spending millions of dollars on Obamacare he would have taken some of that money and truly helped them out. He used blacks with money like Jesse Jackson and Oprah to help him win the election and then turned his back on them also. Banned Jackson from the white house (no loss) and Oprah smartened up,,,she turned her back on him when he needed her to help sell Obamacare.

  He took their promised free money and gave it to South Africa to improve their internet system.

Didn’t you guys get the memo? Insurance is having to be dropped b/c the insurance companies LIED to Obama!!! *sarc* That’s what I was told by a supporter of his; so I guess everyone lies but Obozo.
- AZWarrior
  
  Obama- God in his own mind- never lies: He ‘misspeaks’.
David_Francis

$50 per month I’m sure was a major medical policy. These were offered when I was in college too and they were very low cost. However, $1800 per year is $150 per month which is still very low cost for a comprehensive policy. I’m surprised they were able to whittle it that low. If the article assumes 9 month school year, $200 per month sounds a little bit high for an individual policy. It’s still a shame that major medical policies are outlawed. They were often a good choice for generally healthy people. Comprehensive medical insurance isn’t really good for a college student who is already living on loans.
- T Philly
  
  Actually the article said $50 per semester vs. $900 per semester.
  - David_Francis
    
    Thanks for the correction.
Dana Garcia

Obama is quite busy coddling illegal aliens, most of whom are hispanic. The 20 million he plans to amnesty will be D-voters forever.

Plus, the legalized foreigners will be immediately eligible to take any job in America, meaning they will work cheap and displace citizens, black and white.
Eddie Wilkerson

I think I may need a new TV. President Bush just threw a shoe at mine while Obama was pretending to unfart over Obamacare.
AZWarrior

The talker is droning on and on, while he masturbates to the sound of his own voice.
Ron Terry

I really think those that have used and directed him into the position he is in now, has caused him to think of himself as King, or Ruler, but at least untouchable..It has been a long time since someone has over shadowed Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson, but I think he has done it..
nadrenrut

Obama is a sociopathic liar. He lies to suit his personal needs and policies. He lies to support his agendas. He lies to cut down his opponents. He sides with Sharpton and Jackson only when it suits him, if it doesn’t suit his needs, he simply remains quiet. He uses the race card only to promote his agendas, NEVER when it is black on white violence like the kids on the school bus. If this congress does not find the courage and the will power to impeach him none of them deserve to remain in office. It is far past time to support the Constitution not a lying president.
- RVNMike
  
  The word that describes him best is, “mendacious”.
dangrbitch

I’m sure it’s his “white half” that is responsible for the bad things that are happening to blacks.
opsman

Why should he do any favors for the “black community” ? He hasn’t done any favors for the American Community as a whole. I for one am sick an tired of hearing about Black this or Black that or African American this or that, we are all Americans period. I make no distinction as to race color or creed, as long as you are a citizen of this country then in my book you are an American and this so called president has been the biggest failure of all the presidents. Yet no one will tell him he is doing anything wrong it seems as if everyone is afraid of this him for some reason. Just recently the media has come out against some of his policies

He knows the blacks will always defend him. He owns them.
dave south

herr obama is doing his best to destroy the economy of this country…either on purpose or because he is retarded. It is time to admit that the the half white president has failed and the negro president experiment has failed as a whole. The national socialist take over however is moving right along and the nazis under obama will be in charge for for a few more years. if there is a country left we can take it back and fix it.
Bryan Bell

How long will it be…..before all blacks join in the chorus about the fact that this guy isn’t even 1/2 black? As a matter of fact, Barack Hussein Obama has zero ancestors that were slaves, but many ancestors that were slave owners and slave traders. Do your research before you start poppin’ off at me
- GumpForrestGump
  
  What do slaves have to do with anything in America anymore? Don’t buy into the whole racial division/decision argument. What’s wrong with just accepting people for who they are and denying race-baiters their fun? I agree that Obama is a dip-shit, but does it have to do with the fact that his ancestors may or may not have been slaves or owned slaves? No! It has to do with the ideas he supports and his lack of ability to actually think through to the logical conclusions and effects of those policies. It has to do with the fact that he’s always shown himself willing to lie to anybody and everybody and purposely deceive to achieve what he thinks he wants and the fact that once he’s gotten it, he wants to blame everyone BUT himself for the fact that it’s nowhere near as great as he thought it was going to be.
  - TheHornedOne81
    
    The issue comes in when he himself race baits and wraps himself in the cloak of, “I’m one of you. The poor, oppressed, and downtrodden black community. See how black I am!” The man was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. Despite the fact that his grandparents and mother all believed fiercely in Communism, and raised him as a good little red-diaper baby, they were all Rich. He was raised in Hawaii, which has never really had the racial issues against blacks that the continental part of the country has had. The man is an outright phony who uses his skin colour to claim heritage that he does not have.
    
    THAT is the issue that Bryan was bringing up.
    - Bryan Bell
      
      Thank You Horned1!! I could not have put it any better than that, as you were/are exactly on-point

More proof Obama is bad for black Americans
