I think will explain an awful lot about our economy at this time. The President met with a group to discuss his "plan to strengthen the economy for the middle class and continue to build ladders of opportunity for those striving to get there," here are the attendees: • Melanie Campbell, President, National Coalition of Black Civic Participation • Ralph Everett, President, Joint Center for Economic and Political Studies • Wade Henderson, President, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights • Ben Jealous, President, National Association of the Advancement of Colored People • Avis Jones-DeWeever, Executive Director, National Council of Negro Women • Sharon J. Lettman-Hicks, Executive Director, National Black Justice Coalition • Al Sharpton, Founder and President of National Action Network • Rev Derrick Harkins, 19th Street Baptist Church • Judith Browne Dianis, Co-Director, Advancement Project wow. First let me point out that there is only one person from an economic background. second, how in the world does this help "America"? This is not representing America, this is racially dividing America. How about lets try something crazy, lets try strengthening ALL of America http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-gets-economic-advice-al-sharpton-other-african-american-leaders_703099.html

I agree, we need to take away the check book. This is your budget and you can not spend one penny over it. Maybe somebody like Sharon Jasper of New Orleans http://www.theliberalheretic.com/blog/node/1194
