Obama shows unequal support for Americans
The Gazette Opinion Staff

The president of the United States is supposed to be the president of all Americans. Are you aware he has started a movement called African Americans for Obama? Can you imagine what it would be like if Romney is our president and he started a movement called Mormons for Romney? Catholics for Santorum or Gingrich?
The black people would be shouting from the rooftops.
This is a president in 2008 who campaigned on bringing people together and here he is trying to pit white against black. He says the blacks are not getting their fair share. How many colleges and junior colleges are there in the USA? Look at the basketball teams and the football teams, both men and women. We should have the most educated black people with their tuition paid for. It is time for the rest of us to stand up and say enough already.
