Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith wants African-Americans to be patient and look into the future, setting aside any disappointment in President Obama to actively support his campaign for a second term.
Our futures looking bright, because I trust the man whos leading us. And that man is Barack Obama, Smith, 53, says in a new Obama campaign Web video to promote the group African-Americans for Obama.
I have the presidents back, and its up to us as African-Americans to show that we have his back also.
Ninety-six percent of black voters in the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll say they approve of the way Obama has handled his job, while just 3 percent do not.

Any individual who votes for a candidate because they’re of the same race, ethnicity, religion, etc. is simply demonstrating what a shallow, myopic idiot they actually are.
Not in my lifetime...
I have the presidents back, and its up to us as African-Americans to show that we have his back also.
When does it end?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Something that will help hasten that end it a total boycott of the NFL and the NBA. No tickets, no merchandise.
There are plenty of healthier options for one to use their time, money, and energy.
I am a Bears fan and confirm that Lovie coaches in the way of a shallow, myopic idiot.
I guess that’s the best the “ African American’s” can do.....ra ra shish boom ba....
The blind allegiance by blacks to Obama just because he’s black (1/2) is simply astounding yet predictable. Funny though but put the black man on the GOP ticket and all hades breaks loose with them. Party trumps all but black skin on the Dem president is their icing on the DemRat cake.
Loser coach as blacks to support loser president.
Coach Lovie Smith stated if as a black man I am not expected to coach a winning team why would we expect a black man to run a winning administration?
————”Ninety-six percent of black voters in the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll say they approve of the way Obama has handled his job”
96 percent?!! I can’t believe that. I thought it was 100 percent.
In Chicago, it's even higher than that.
Lovie did a very smart thing for his job security. There is no way in hell the Chicago Bears can fire him now, unless they want to risk an all-out meltdown in the streets of Chicagoland.
They weren't going to anyway - the new GM was hired because he was the only candidate willing to promise to keep Lovie. Go Pack!
The original-g Lovey says:
That's not "NEWS"....it's the same thing Larry Sinclair was saying back in the day.......
Where is the critical thinking here? I am a Bears fan, but Lovie Smith had shown a rigid thinking style.
If we substitute president with ‘coach’. What would we get?
Da Bears fans need to shove their disappointment and have more patience here, because
>>> I have the presidents (crossed out to ===>) the coach’s back, and its up to us as African-Americans to show that we have his back also.
