Why's Obama So Reluctant to Battle GOP?
Stanley Crouch, NY Daily News
Black Americans used to warn their children, sometimes with bitterness but usually with heroic resolve, that they had to be twice as good as whites to get hired and perhaps three times as good if the job was gotten.That is why Barack Obama has been such a disappointment to a country that believes that almost impossible things can be done quickly. Either that or we've been duped by the shining surface of a hollow shell.As many have pointed out, it's time for the country to grow up.
