It is all about personal responsibility. I think as a people we have relied too much on finding a “savior”, somebody to take care of us. And sadly it is that mentality that has made us dependent in so many ways. It’s not Obama/government’s job to parent us or our children.

Once again thanks for all the feedback.

Agreeing with everyone.. Another point Obama stated “He may not be able to make any changes in one year or one term.. it is the responsibility of everyone to work together to make a difference” . You have to respect him for his honesty and courage to say it not once but continuously…. Be responsible for youself and that which you possess….

Great blog

This is a GREAT post. I have been saying all along. It is NOT his job to fix what is wrong in the Black Community, it is HIS job to govern the country.

At some time, we must take responsibility for ourselves. Please tell me who is making our kids kill each other. Who tells our children to wear the big britches. Who tells our children to go to stores and curse like sailors, and who on God’s green earth makes them go into stores and shoplift. Parents have to be responsible for their children.

Great post, timely and much needed. I saw a toothless woman on TV say that Obama was going to help her get some teeth. (sigh). Come one people! Dera´s last blog post..Black Republicans. Who Needs Them?

Great post! I too fear that we are demanding way too much of one human man! Ask not what Obama can do for us, but what we can do to help Obama. That's how I see it, anyway. He's got an almost impossible task ahead of him and we are all going to have to make sacrifices and hard changes in order to help this country out of the ditch.

Very well said!!!

Each of us as individuals are responsible for ourselves.

President Elect Obama has a very difficult job ahead of him – putting this country back on course. This will be a major challenge unto itself.
