The following is a transcript of "The Tom Joyner Morning Show's" interview with President Barack Obama, which aired Tuesday morning.
TOM JOYNER: Yeah, it is slow and frustrating. And a lot of people are voicing their opinion about how frustrating it is for us in the black community and the unemployment rate being almost twice as much what the general market employment rate is. I understand. I understand people complaining, but I don't agree with people who are trying to - black people, black leaders who are trying to make you look bad, as if this is all your fault.
Well, look, the fact of the matter is that when you occupy this office, when things are going good then you get the credit, and when things are going tough then you get the blame. And that's the nature of the office. And so I don't spend a lot of time thinking about that. I do spend a lot of time thinking about what can we do to make sure that this economy starts growing faster.
We've made enormous progress over the last two years in stabilizing the economy, but we've stabilized it at an unemployment rate that's way too high. And so the economy is going to have to grow faster. Next week, I'll be unveiling additional plans that we can take to move the ball forward, put people back to work. But I ...

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Throw more of other peoples money at the problem. That should work. It always does.(/S)
This is a reach. I mean, guys. Come on. I’m so on your side I crap red-white-and-blue turds, but there’s no secret message here, and there’s secret call for violence.
Mobilize = mmmm, mmmmm bring a gun to the fight?
So it begins?
The Republicans are..... obstructionists,
.....racists,
.....greedy,
.....tea party terrorists...etc.
The Whites are.....more of the same.
When is the black community going to realize their leaders are the ones who keep them on entitlement programs, victimized and under educated?
Disgusting that Obama can whine while he has done NOTHING!
There was a dem strategist on the TV last night saying OBAMA INHERITATED the current situation from Bush.
The Obama team said polling showed this does not work it is old. This must have been specific to Obama’s base.
Obama is desperate. Watch him get a challenger and watch it be Powell.
Wrong!!! Obama came into office with majorities in both the House and the Senate, there was no effective opposition to anything that he wanted to do..."I won," remember that?
“Mobilize” such as in a flash mob?
He is just common sense handicapped being part black, muslim and economic’s impaired. Not much more...’cepting a race baiting agitator.
He needs to learn that its small business that is the backbone of the economy. They provide the jobs. And then there is john Que public who spends his income. If he lacks faith in the system, like the businessman, he will keep his hands in his pockets and continue to clutch his money.
Its about expectations of the leadership.
D Day has begun. Time to prepare for the upcoming battle.
He acts as if he is the first president that had to deal with opposition.
The fact that he has opposition is what’s bugging him.
He learned a lot from his cousin Odinga.
That's all he has! He is completely lost and desperate!
Its a competitive world out there.... even for his black constituents who have a higher unemployment stat than anyone else. But then again, who wants to hire some rapper with zero english skills and zero real world job skills?
Its that free competition of ideas that has generated the America we have today, inclusive of the huge mistake made in our presidential choice. But then again, iffff we had more information on the ass clown, the mistake probably would not have been made.
We need to be out there, calling for a stop to this insane borrowing money out of thin air and spending it on "stimulus" and "assistance programs."
Reality is, we don't have the money to spend.
Borrowing money out of thin air hurts everyone. The inflation will come, and it will be massive if we continue this course.
That's the $64,000 question, isn't it?
This guy is going to create a civil war!!!
