President Obama

California Democratic Representative Maxine Waters, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, chatted with CBS’ “The Early Show” about President Obama’s speech to the CBC over the weekend.

Waters, who has been critical this year of President Obama’s response to the high unemployment within the black community, said she found it “curious” that Mr. Obama told black leaders to “stop complaining.”

“I don’t know who he was talking to because we’re certainly not complaining,” Waters said. “We’re working. We support him,” added Waters.

Last night, a fired up President Obama spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus annual awards meeting. He addressed the high unemployment rate among African-Americans and explained how his new jobs bill would help put everybody back to work.

Check out the video clip below:

TV host Tavis Smiley made an appearance on Fox News’ “Sean Hannity Show” on Monday night to promote his new PBS special about the special problems facing black boys in our education system. However, conservative Republican host Sean Hannity did his best to get Smiley to criticize President Obama.

As a result, Hannity got Smiley to criticize President Obama’s economic policies, black unemployment and the wars, and talk about the president’s chances for reelection in 2012. Although Smiley took a few shots at President Obama, he still admitted that there isn’t a Republican candidate that he’d rather vote for in 2012.

Watch the interview below:

While promoting his jobs bill in Raleigh, North Carolina, President Obama tells the crowd that some Republicans are “purposely divided” and rather see him fail than help the American people.

During a recent broadcast of his morning radio show, Steve Harvey put on his boxing gloves and took a punch at professor Cornel West and his sidekick Tavis Smiley for their criticism of President Obama. As of late, West and Smiley have criticized President Obama for not helping poor people and catering to the wealthy.

Reverend Al Sharpton, Tom Joyner, and now Harvey are firing back at West and Smiley.

Harvey recently clowned Smiley and West on his radio show saying:

“I was a huge fan of Cornel West,” said Harvey. “Tavis, I seen him coming a mile away. His anger started when he had a town hall meeting, President Obama couldn’t come because of the campaign trail and he sent Mrs. Obama. He has held that grudge every since. You don’t have any real basis behind your dislike for this man…you keep masking it saying it’s not about hate. Then what is it about? Poverty existed before January 20, 2008. Where was your damn bus then?”

Listen to the what Harvey had to say about the situation below:

Tavis Smiley and Professor Cornel West chat with CNN’s Carol Costello about their criticism of President Obama for not helping the poor, their nationwide “Poverty Tour” and the recent passing of the debt ceiling bill.

MSNBC Republican pundit Pat Buchanan raised some eyebrows Tuesday night when he referred to President Obama as ‘your boy’ when he talked with Al Sharpton.

“Lemme tell ya, your boy, Barack Obama, caved in on it in 2010 and he’ll cave in on it again,” Buchanan told interim MSNBC host Al Sharpton.

“My what? My president Barack Obama? What did you say?” Sharpton said.

“He’s your boy in the ring!” Buchanan responded, nervously chuckling.
