This isn't really a surprise, except possibly to liberals who are always surprised by reality. Minorities almost always do worse under liberal administrations. Obama's is merely the most liberal.

NAACP President Ben Jealous: Black People “Are Doing Far Worse” Under Obama Administration

Jan 29, 2013
By NewsOne Staff

In an interview with David Gregory on Meet The Press, NAACP President Ben Jealous said that Black Americans “are doing far worse” under the Obama Administration than when the president first took office, reports The Washington Times.

“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” said Jealous.“White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.”

The black unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took office. While the unemployment rate in the U.S. as a whole is below 8 percent, the Labor Department reported the black jobless rate was up from 12.9 percent to 14 percent for December.

The worst during Mr Obama’s first term was in September 2011, with 16.7 percent unemployment for blacks — the highest since 1983, the Department of Labor reports. The black teen jobless rate hit a staggering 39.3 percent in July 2012.

While vocal Obama critics, Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West, have 0ften been accused of being egoistical, attention seekers who “hate on” the POTUS when they insist that Black voters put pressure on him, Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Urban League are now following their lead, pushing for President Obama to present an urban jobs plan at his State of the Union address on Feb. 12.

Color before reality. Party before reality.

Ideology before reality.

When I used to see headlines like this, I had a glimmer of hope that people were coming to their senses about the incredible downside of liberal policies. But I've learned over time that what they are actually complaining about, is that the current power holders just aren't quite liberal enough.

... pushing for President Obama to present an urban jobs plan...

Lest anyone think that they might consider a conservative plan they continue to lean on a liberal solution.

All of this on the heels of Colen Powell reminding Americans about the Jesse Jackson Coined Word...DISENFRANCHISEMENT.
A word few people ever heard before Jesse, and Al (notso)Sharpton began using it to confuse their followers who could barely spell their own Names....WHICH WAS WHY THEY HATED THE "ID" for voting.

As long as the Democrats and Obama are able to Prevent the people they claim to represent....from becoming educated, and more knowledgeable...the NAACP will continue to make claims that Black Americans are worse off...UNTIL EVERYTHING IS FREE.
