Is President Obama better than the Alternative?

I am just thinking out loud, talking like it is just you and me as a person who voted for President Obama in 2008 I want pull back to a WIDE ANGLE SHOT to see what is really going on in the scene. Now in a nutshell everybody who is "down with Obama" says if I am hearing correctly from so many Obama Apologist and friends of President Obama is that the President cannot do anything for Black people because White folks would turn on him and he would not get elected again if he dealt with black issues. We cannot expect him to do anything specific for Black folks that would be absurd. Ok and I am not saying he should BUT many people voted for him thinking he would address some issues that Americans face and especially African Americans. So Lets DEBUNK these TALKING POINTS that the President can't do anything:

Imagine hypothetically if President Obama was POTUS during slavery would he have as president issued The Emancipation Proclamation an executive order issued by the President on January 1, 1863? (Nope not using today's logic, white folks would not let him nor would he even suggest it, so would it have benefited us to have him as President in 1863? I guess we should stay slaves and quit "complaining"

Let's go further, would President Obama pass the Morrill Land Grant Colleges Act (1890) - Required each state to show that race was not an admissions criterion, or else to designate a separate land-grant institution for persons of color. Among the seventy colleges and universities which eventually evolved from the Morrill Acts are several of today's Historically Black colleges and universities. - Wikipedia

This was a SPECIFIC piece of legislation for BLACK PEOPLE.

President Obama 1890 scenario "well the President cannot pass something like that Land Grant Act because White folks would turn on him etc etc

So I guess we should accept limited education opportunities and "stop complaining"

REALITY CHECK:

We can look throughout history and see The White House with White Presidents addressing the needs of people of with specific ethnic based issues, YET we can't ask President Obama to do this (insert Scooby Doo confused sound effect). It is suggested through talking points that it would be absurd for the President to even wear black let alone address any black issues, yet we need to vote for him because he would be better than a non-black? REALLY?
History says otherwise.

The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 was targeted towards Black people yet non-black Dwight Eisenhower served the best interest of his country by dealing with the issue.

I believe that the United States must make certain that every citizen who is entitled to vote under the Constitution is given actually that right. I believe also that in sustaining that right we must sustain the power of the Federal judges in whose hands such cases would fall.
-President Dwight D. Eisenhower, July 31, 1957, News Conference

Then we have:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that outlawed major forms of discrimination against blacks and women, including racial segregation. It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public ("public accommodations"). -Wikipedia

If President Obama was POTUS in 57' and 64' he may not have even attempted to speak on these matters because they were too race specific to black folks and thus we still would not be able to Vote and thus:

"keep marching and stop complaining even though you cannot vote"

What else we got? Oh this one:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. §§ 1973–1973aa-6)[1] is a landmark piece of national legislation in the United States that outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African Americans in the U.S.[2]-Wikipedia

Do you see my point? The fate of Black people does not REST in the hands of black faces in high places (I did a Jesse Jackson); Our fate never has and never will. Policy is the key to determine what is best for a community and NOT skin color. African Americans must ask themselves is President Obama good for America and Blacks in 2012 and not stand by color but by policy. People are not asking questions out of fear but FEAR is when you are afraid of the alternative that does not look like you, when you are suppose to be a people of FAITH. History has shown GOD clearly can operate through ANYBODY to serve justice to any people in need from Pharaoh to Nebuchadnezzar to Eisenhower.

Thus the question we must ask is WHERE is our faith? Is it in MAN or GOD!!! In 2012 your faith will be tested and vote if you do vote according to your FAITH.
