Why didn't Obama try to lift African American's attitude?

Update:

He was in a perfect situation to be a role model and show young people that sometimes the attitude they project determines how they will be received America is the only nation where African American's shuck-n-jive and wear their pants so low they can't walk without holding them with one hand. Why doesn't he try to make a difference in Chicago NOW!

Update 2:

tribeca_belle, I'm not a racist but I have traveled the world extensively and see only in America are African American's wallowing in the chains of racism. I hae lived as a minority. I have been denied opportunity and visa's because my Wife and Children were described as being "of Color". So you pack your bigotry where it will do some good and stop blaming others for your attitude!

    The one hope I had when that socialist POS was elected was that he could improve race relations.

    Instead he set them back decades.

    Obama brought back race riots and burning cities.

    Obama was more involved in Balkanization than he was in inclusion. Notice the record low levels of unemployment in the minority communities.

    Lift our attitude? What is that supposed to mean?

    It seems that you need to attend to your own bad attitude and stop thinking up ways to insult African Americans.

    In any case, President Obama was and is a good role model. Nevertheless, he was followed in office by the poor role model and utter disgrace that we now have in the White House. Young people see that and become cynical.

    Edit: I believe that what President Obama’s example shows many is that no matter how good you are and no matter how much you try to help people, the racists will attack you, and even attack your family, with venom. He is still being attacked on the basis of his race, as this question demonstrates.

    Truth be known, Obama bent over backwards to show he wasn't favoring the black population. That is why the black people complained theme didn't no enough for them.

  • A good attitude leads to success.

    Success leads to financial independence.

    Financial independence leads to less Government dependence.

    Less Government dependence means less giving control to politicians.

    That wouldn't help the Democratic Party.

    His communist friends told him to do the exact opposite.

    Obama used race as a political tool. He promoted identity politics which has negatively impacted all Americans.
