Joni Reynolds, an African American writing in the liberalThe Daily Voice, said:

“When President Obama was elected last year we believed things were going to change. He talked about how he was going to change the way Washington did business. He was the idealistic former community organizer with a real vision for the country.

“He assembled a powerful coalition of progressives, minorities and people who had long given up on changing the system from the inside. He talked about universal health care, ending the war in Iraq and finding a way to combat unemployment.

“Now we sit here a year later and we can hardly recognize the man we voted for last fall.

“President Obama…will be remembered for the bank bailouts. The banks were too big to fail so we had to bail them out. Obama told us if we did not, unemployment would skyrocket. Well we did it but unemployment skyrocketed anyway, and those same banks developed new ways to stick it to the consumers.

So what was the point?

“Hopefully, he will enjoy this term because he cannot keeping ignoring us and expect us not to ignore him in 2012.”
