Here are the results of the meeting between Obama and
Black leaders that took place today at the WH. Pretty much as I anticipated.

1. What were you anticipating?

"What's clear is that we have a president who gets it," Jealous said. He accused Republican lawmakers and governors of obstructing Obama on initiatives like stimulus spending and a push to overhaul health insurance. Those efforts would help minorities, he said."

Thank you, Mr. Jealous.

5. Ben Jealous was saying what he needed to say
as President of the NAACP.

And, Obama needed to say what he needed to say, as President of ALL of the people of the United States of America.
