under 6 years of age currently living in poverty. 50% of young adult African Americans not finding work.

This is the status quo and I know you're not happy with that.

Don't get me wrong. I do not blame President Obama because these are symptoms of a massively systemic problems (both social and economic), but its not like there has been any leadership either.

I'm not saying that the President doesn't care about the economy -- after all he saw the stock market hit 18000 and many rich people got richer.
