Dr.West to a right as a Black american we do have to hold him accountable for his actions but we also have to support him just as presidents in the past was supported. The difference being is that as a Blackman he is being held under a close microscope and some even wishing he will fail because of his color. So if we hold him accountable for his actions I think this will make Obama a better and just president.
BTW, I love Dr.West he spoke at our High School Graduation in NY and told us the truth about going out in the real world.
I agree AR1. While I have nothing but love for Obama, we still need to hold his feet to the fire and make sure his promises are kept!
