Congressional Black Caucus Criticism

The president's role is to say yes and no (power of veto) to what's brought to him by congress. I'm sure he's aware of the issues so in addition to voting for him, the local, state, and national primaries determine who have legislative authority to write up policy pertinent to among other issues, minority employment. That being said the black caucus needs to be just as concerned with its voting base (or the lack of) at those levels before they throw the blame at one of the few that's in their corner. Black voting turnout is horribly low in local elections. The County I vote in has its executives and city councilman getting locked up left and right for corruption and DC is no better, let alone California. Yes Alameda, Los Angeles and San Diego Counties THIS MEANS YOU! Everyone and Black folks in particular (Black unemployment hovering around 16% nationwide), need to concentrate on who they are electing at the local level first and foremost since they are the ones who are instrumental in fighting for jobs in the communities they are SUPPOSED TO BE SERVING.
