Obama and the Black Media

Senator Barack Obama tries to be all things to all people with his vague language of change and hope. But sometimes he makes the mistake of promising something, only to see it turn out to be an inconvenience when it comes time to actually perform. Obama dazzled the crowd at the National Association of Black Journalists convention last August with a stirring speech followed by a question and answer session. The video of the event has been posted online and you can view it here. Highlighted at the NABJ website post about the event is his call for the black media to spotlight the "struggles that are happening in African American communities."
